Summary

Are you confused about coffee? Want to know if it is health enhancing or harmful? It seems that every year a new “groundbreaking” headline comes out either putting coffee on a health pedestal or making it seem like it might kill you! Because we truly love coffee but also want to live long, healthy lives, we dug through the research to give you both sides of the story. Tune in to hear us discuss the health properties of coffee as well as the drawbacks and considerations.    There is a plethora of research to support beneficial outcomes with coffee consumption from increased lifespan to reduction of diabetes risk to brain health and so much more. However, coffee can also exacerbate anxiety and disturb sleep. Learn how to determine whether coffee works for you, how you can enhance your coffee to get the best bang for your buck without unpleasant side effects, and how we are drinking our coffee these days!    Also in this episode: 12 Week Food As Medicine Ketosis Class Next Level Keto Starts 10/27!  Episode 258: Bone Broth Fasting Health Benefits of CoffeeAntioxidantsIntakes of antioxidants in coffee, wine, and vegetables are correlated with plasma carotenoids in humans Contribution of beverages to the intake of lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidants in the Spanish diet LongevityAssociation of Coffee Drinking with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality DiabetesCoffee, decaffeinated coffee, and tea consumption in relation to incident type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review with meta-analysis Cardiovascular HealthCoffee and health: a review of recent human research Brain HealthCoffee and tea consumption and the risk of Parkinson's disease Habitual coffee consumption and risk of cognitive decline/dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies Liver HealthCoffee intake is associated with lower rates of liver disease progression in chronic hepatitis C Cancer PreventionCoffee and cancer risk: A meta-analysis of prospective observational studies MetabolismComparison of changes in energy expenditure and body temperatures after caffeine consumption Exercise PerformanceCaffeine and exercise: metabolism, endurance and performance MoodCoffee, Caffeine, and Risk of Depression Among Women Coffee DrawbacksAnxiety Neuropsychiatric effects of caffeine | Advances in Psychiatric Treatment | Cambridge Core Sleep Episode 249: Sleep and Benefits of Melatonin Gut HealthGI Lining Support Blood SugarNutrisense CGM use code ALIMILLERRD Coffee Addiction & WithdrawalCaffeine tolerance and choice in humans Bio-C Plus 10 Day Detox Toxicity Concerns with CoffeeMold & Pesticides Keurig Cups Mushroom and Adaptogenic Coffees Favorite Coffee Add Ins and SubstitutionsFOND Bone Broth use code ALI MILLERRD Social CBD Further Food Collagen Wild Foods Cocotropic, Teas, & Mushroom Blends use code ALIMILLERRD 4th & Heart Chocolate Ghee Banana Bolt Smoothie Supplements to Offset Coffee ConsumptionAdaptogen Boost Adrenal Support Calm and Clear   Sponsors for this episode:  This episode is sponsored by FOND Bone Broth Tonics, Your Sous Chef in a Jar.
