And, yes, it does do something similar, and you can essentially just time your protein 30 minutes before or after your coffee if you're concerned about the delay in release and bioavailability of the polyphenols.

And there was another, this is the last question on coffee.

This question was submitted by Sam.

And Sam says, for those of us who have the gene for slow metabolism of caffeine, should we do anything differently?

Your gene data notes that slow metabolizers should limit or avoid caffeine altogether.

Is this still valid?

I would say that for people that are slow metabolizers, obviously, you need to kind of self-experiment.

But typically, you want to limit your caffeine to morning use.

And taking it in the afternoon may be the issue because if you're a slow metabolizer, it may take 10 to 12 hours before you're metabolizing all that caffeine.

And so there may be this residual effect on your sleep.

However, you should be able to mostly notice that.

So if your coffee consumption protocol is not causing any issues with your sleep, then whatever you're doing should probably be fine.

Okay, there's a few more rapid fire questions we're going to get to before, but I want to look at the chat to see some coffee related questions here.

Myrna is asking about my thoughts on decreased blood flow from vasoconstriction from coffee to the brain.

In fact, the polyphenols do the opposite.

They actually increase the blood flow to the brain.

So whatever minor vasoconstrictions probably just canceled out.

Bodhi's asking about Nespresso Virturo.

Sorry, I don't know how to say that.

But the Nespresso capsules.
