Are you a coffee-lover? For most people, their morning simply can’t start without a good cup of steaming coffee. Surprisingly, there are also some people who, even if they love the smell and taste of these addictive beans, their bodies are not well-adjusted to it. It takes time to metabolize caffeine, an abundant compound in coffee, resulting in unfavorable reactions like increased heart rate and sleep problems. In this episode, Dr. Jockers shares natural strategies to help coffee-lovers enjoy their every cup without guilt or regret. You will also learn how caffeine works in the nervous system and the types of plants, aside from coffee beans, where caffeine naturally occurs.

“Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline, water-soluble compound called a methylxanthine alkaloid. It's closely related to the adenine and guanine contained in DNA and is the most commonly consumed psychoactive drug on the planet."
