Coffee is an important ritual for most people. But it's also a scientifically validated intervention that improves health, longevity, cognitive function, and physical performance. Our latest episode synthesizes extensive research to illuminate how the timing, brewing methods,

I'm covering this study in our weekly research newsletter that's going out later today (in just a few hours!). Sign up here.

Creatine supplementation improved cognitive function by nearly 5% in Alzheimer's patients over just 8 weeks. In the first-ever trial of its kind, Alzheimer's patients supplementing with high-dose creatine (20 grams per day) saw an 11% increase in total brain creatine levels.

I discuss specific creatine dosing protocols with Dr. Darren Candow on episode #100 of the podcast. Watch the full interview here.

How much creatine should you take? It depends on your goals. I typically take around 10 grams daily because this dose seems ideal for maximizing muscle strength, bone health, and brain benefits—advantages that might not fully appear at lower doses. Higher amounts, around 20.

I’d be curious if @bryan_johnson attributes his 93% microplastic drop more to TPE or vigilance—avoiding processed foods, tap water, and plastic packaging. I would credit avoidance most; it’s the first step we should all take. While chemical detox via sauna (sweating) is.

Water from glass bottles might contain up to 3x more microplastics than plastic bottles. A recent study tested common beverages in France and consistently found glass bottles had the highest microplastic contamination, significantly exceeding plastic bottles and cans. Beer

The mycotoxin thing is a bit overblown. Coffee hasn’t ever been definitely linked to brain fog, fatigue, or other symptoms. Roasting gets rid of up to 96% of mycotoxins and brewing with a paper filter eliminates another 20%. Plus, studies consistently demonstrate that moderate.

The combination of coffee and L-theanine is a proven way to enhance alertness while reducing the "jitteriness" some people get from high doses of caffeine. Multiple studies show that together they can boost focus, attention, and reduce distractibility during cognitively

Coffee is associated with cancer protection. Research shows that moderate coffee consumption is associated with a 10–54% reduction in the risk liver, endometrial, oral, prostate, and skin cancers, among others. This protective effect is largely attributed to coffee's rich

I'm getting lots of questions about whether microplastics and other chemicals are a concern with coffee filters. Most paper filters are made of cellulose (wood fiber) not synthetic plastic – any fibers released are plant-based, not synthetic microplastics. The worst offenders.

Coffee’s health impact depends on how you brew it. Filtered coffee is linked to a lower cancer risk, while unfiltered methods—like French press or boiled coffee—let oily compounds called diterpenes sneak into your cup. These compounds, particularly cafestol and kahweol, can

Coffee drinkers are biologically younger than those who abstain—and that could help explain why people who drink 2–3 cups per day have up to a 27% lower risk of dying from any cause. While this doesn’t necessarily mean coffee causes a longer life, there’s compelling biological.

I'm getting a lot of questions about stevia in the comments. Most research indicates that stevia doesn't acutely increase appetite and may even reduce it. This makes it a suitable sugar substitute for those concerned about appetite and energy intake.
