  • How Coffee Affects Your Brain, Hormones, and Gut
    May 1 2025
    Coffee is the most consumed beverage on the planet—second only to water. But here's the catch: depending on how (and what) you drink, your morning cup could either boost your brain, metabolism, and longevity… or quietly wreck your gut, hormones, and sleep. In this powerhouse episode of The Dr. Josh Axe Show, Dr. Axe reveals the shocking truths about coffee—what mainstream health advice often gets wrong, how your genes impact your reaction to caffeine, and why choosing the right kind of coffee matters more than you think. Whether you're a lifelong coffee lover or just curious about its health effects, this episode is your ultimate guide to doing coffee the right way. What You’ll Learn: Why coffee doesn’t actually give you energy—and what it’s really doing to your brain How your genetics (including the CYP1A2 gene) determine whether coffee is your medicine or your enemy The critical link between coffee, gut health, adrenal fatigue, and hormone imbalance The top 3 toxins lurking in most commercial coffee—and how to avoid them Why your timing matters: when to drink coffee for peak performance (and when to avoid it completely) The truth about mold, acidity, and how to choose coffee that heals, not harms The best alternatives to traditional coffee—including matcha, mushroom coffee, and herbal substitutes. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to personalize your coffee habits for better energy, sharper focus, and longer-lasting health. Plus, Dr. Axe sits down with coffee expert and Lifeboost founder Dr. Charles Livingston to uncover how the cleanest coffee in the world is made—and what to look for on the label to protect your body.
