The Truth About Coffee Doctors Rarely Explain

Show Notes

Coffee is one of the most beloved beverages in the world — and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of Chasing Eden, host Caroline Thompson explores coffee’s fascinating journey from ancient discovery to modern daily ritual, uncovering why it has inspired devotion, debate, and scientific curiosity for centuries.

We dive into what today’s leading health voices — including Dr. Axe, Dr. Berg, Dr. Huberman, Dr. Gundry, Dave Asprey, and Gary Brecka — say about coffee’s potential benefits and pitfalls. From antioxidants and polyphenols to caffeine timing, gut health, sleep, inflammation, and stress, this conversation brings clarity to the question: Is coffee actually good for you? And if so, how do you drink it wisely?

You’ll also learn who tends to thrive with coffee, who may need to be cautious, how quality and brewing methods matter more than most people realize, and how to enjoy coffee in a way that supports your body rather than depletes it. This episode isn’t about rules — it’s about awareness, balance, and choosing habits that truly serve your health.
