Summary

This episode is brought to you by Pendulum and InsiderTracker. There’s a compound in coffee that can disrupt our metabolic health that most people aren’t aware of: cafestol. Cafestol is responsible for the oil in roasted coffee beans and is linked to high LDL cholesterol levels. Studies show that cafestol increases LDL cholesterol by suppressing LDL receptor activity and reducing the breakdown of LDL cholesterol. It has also been linked to higher total cholesterol and triglycerides, with little effect on HDL cholesterol. If you’re someone who drinks a lot of French press coffee and you have unexplained high LDL levels, this topic might be worth paying attention to. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru shares a super-simple hack to cut down on the cafestol in your cup that he learned from a recent conversation he had with our dear friend Max Lugavere in honor of the launch of his latest cookbook, Genius Kitchen.
