Why Your Coffee Habit Might Be Better Than You Think - Dr Bryan Saunders

“If you enjoy coffee, just go and enjoy coffee, and the data in general suggests that actually caffeine or coffee consumption overall is very beneficial for a number of health outcomes.” -Dr Bryan Saunders

Dr Bryan Saunders is a researcher at the University of São Paulo, who specialises in the study of caffeine, and in particular its effects on exercise performance. He’s co-authored multiple studies on the topic and sheds light on many of the myths that are perpetuated online.

In this episode, I ask Bryan how caffeine is affecting our bodies, everything from the mechanisms behind its ergogenic effects to the truth behind habitual coffee consumption.

Stay tuned to find out:

  • Whether your morning coffee really is bad for your health
  • How caffeine improves exercise performance
  • Whether caffeine actually stops affecting you the more you consume it
  • If genetic variations mean some people are immune to its effects
  • When you need to stop drinking caffeine for a good night’s sleep
