Today we're going to go deep on coffee.

We've spent the last month or so reading through all of the latest research on coffee.

And in this episode, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about how to get the maximum health and longevity benefits while minimizing the negative side effects.

The good news is that coffee can slow down your epigenetic aging clock, drop cardiovascular risk, and sharpen cognition.

But how you source your coffee, how you brew it, and how you time it makes a big difference.

And if done the wrong way, coffee can raise LDL, disrupt sleep, and you'll miss out on some of the benefits I just mentioned.

So in this episode, we'll answer questions like how coffee actually slows down aging and how to maximize those benefits, which beans and roast levels are healthiest, why a paper filter matters for cholesterol and cancer risk, the best way to source and store your beans to avoid mold in your coffee, the exact caffeine dose for endurance, strength, and mental focus.
