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!
