Full Transcript Introduction to Coffee and Inflammation 0:00 Now, can we have inflammation but our body copes with it and fixes it so then there's no disease? 0:06 Absolutely, and that is the goal. 0:13 Hi, it's Dr. 0:14 Jen. 0:14 Welcome back to the podcast. 0:16 Today we're going to be talking about the new American Heart Association recommendation on coffee and caffeine. 0:26 I hope y'all will share this with a friend if it helps you. 0:30 If you're watching on YouTube, I'm going take off my white coat. 0:38 I want to break through the research and the study about caffeine and coffee. 0:44 So this study, the American Heart Association came out and is recommending three to five cups of coffee per day up to 200 milligrams in caffeine actually 0:58 no that was yeah 400 milligrams of caffeine which would make sense with three to five cups because a cup of coffee is an average of 95 milligrams. 1:08 Now I think this is kind of a lot but but then I don't because of the specifics. 1:15 This is not just you can have energy drinks or caffeine this filtered coffee, which have a lot of bioactive chemicals in them which are anti-inflammatory 1:33 and antioxidant. 1:35 So, what causes heart disease? 1:38 What is the root cause of heart diseases? 1:40 Alright, shout it out if you're in the car. 1:42 Shout it, out you've been listening to me for a while. 1:44 It's inflammation, okay? 1:46 Inflammation causes all disease. 1:48 I've said that for a decade, okay? 1:50 You can't have disease without inflammation. 1:52 Cancer, can have it without information. 1:55 Heart disease, cannot have without it inflammation, hormone problems, you can not have that with some sort of underlying inflammation and stress and cortisol 2:03 cause inflammation right? 2:05 So I really think that we cannot disease with out inflammation Now, can we have inflammation, but our body copes with it and fixes it, 2:14 so then there's no disease? 2:15 Absolutely, and that is the goal. 2:17 Like, I know where we live, we look up in the sky, even my six-year-old is like, Mom, look at that chemtra. 2:24 You know what I'm like?
AHA Coffee Recommendation and Study Overview 2:25 Oh, yeah. 2:26 So we're exposed to things that cause inflammation in our bodies, our but body is cool and has free radical scavengers and makes N-acetylcysteine, 2:36 which turns into glutathione and all these things in vitamin C, you know, we get from our diet and, all this stuff. 2:43 So, this is how I picture. 2:46 This is not how the American Heart Association is going to picture it or cardiologists, but this what I waking up, putting a paper filter in, 2:57 filtering their coffee, sitting there, getting their coffe. 3:02 If it's caffeinated, I recommend it. 3:05 This is a chapter in my book. 3:07 Well, not a whole chapter, but a big part of a page that says if you are drinking caffeine as a woman, you cannot just have black coffee for the morning 3:17 and no breakfast. 3:17 You need to have some breakfast with it, so me personally, i put some amino acids and cream in before I have it and it's half calf, 3:25 but I do. 3:26 I sit there, I wake up. 3:29 It's a ritual for me. 3:31 Let the animals out while it is brewing. 3:34 Come back, it has brewed. 3:35 Make my coffee on the days my husband is home. 3:37 He is with me, we sit and we read our Bible and do our devotionals. 3:43 It's best when it's community, when I have Him there, but sometimes it is on my own, it' my quiet time and I'm not alone. 3:48 I am with the Lord. 3:49 But I also see like coffee and like brewed coffee, and just, you know, I' blessed to be in a Bible study. 3:58 we just have coffee and we sit around and worship. 4:01 And yes, coffee by itself, the coffee bean has antioxidants in it, and it also has anti-inflammatory, you know, polyphenol, 4:11 deterpenins, like a lot of different stuff. 4:14 But how much, that community too, around the Coffee is important. 4:19 It's interesting though. 4:20 So this, these studies, this finding that the American Heart Association is going on, They say filtered for a reason and I didn't get to go into detail 4:32 with this, you know, on Newsmax, but filtered helps reduce the LDL content in coffee. 4:38 Weird, right? 4:39 There's, there's fat, in, coffee and yeah, me, I add extra fat to mine. 4:45 I had butter and cream, It's interesting. 4:48 So let's look at the studies on mortality. 4:51 Mortality and the BMJ in 2017 coffee consumption and health umbrella review of meta-analysis of multiple health outcomes. 5:00 There is evidence of a non-linear association between consumption in some outcomes with summary estimates indicating largest relative risk at intakes of 5:09 three to four cups a day versus none. 5:12 Including all-cause mortality so lower all cause mortality with moderate intake and they were saying that moderate is three to four cups a day Now this 5:21 is different if you go to your favorite Starbucks and now they have protein and I love their protein cold foam It's just like so thick when I'm out on
Coffee, Mortality, and Filtered vs Espresso 5:30 the run, but I'll get decaf but what they're saying, and that's what I would love to talk to the American Heart Association and be like, 5:39 did you say filtered because the LDL, is that why? 5:42 Because the espresso, you're still gonna have the antioxidants in it. 5:46 So I'm wondering if that is why. 5:49 Because in these other studies I am looking at, it just talks about coffee. 5:54 Now, that being said, if you are getting a Vente drink, latte, that has three shots of espresso in it, which is crazy, right? 6:05 That's kind of a lot. 6:06 Now, when we look at now, now let's go to caffeine. 6:09 So caffeine, so 400 milligrams. 6:12 That is a LOT. 6:13 If I had that much caffeine I would be jittery and then I'd have to take an L-theanine. 6:18 And I do that the days I go over like to a friend's house and have coffee. 6:22 I have an l- theaninine to Coffee is different because green tea and matcha tea, which studies kind of go head-to-head with green-tea drinkers, 6:35 they have those antioxidants and polyphenols in there and compounds that are actually helping like cancer. 6:47 matcha tea, for example, and regular green tea has L-theanine in it, which is an amino acid that calms. 6:53 So coffee doesn't have that, okay? 6:56 So really interesting. 6:58 But here's another thing we have to think about. 7:00 This study was on black coffee, not even adding anything, because cardiologists, or the study, the statement they made, they don't like cream. 7:09 They don' like anything animal-based, cause they say, it's gonna give you heart attacks. 7:15 But what really gives you a heart attack? 7:17 Say it out loud. 7:18 Inflammation, okay? 7:20 Who's having heart-attacks? 7:22 People that have had inflammation from a jab, let's say. 7:26 but also from being obese or overweight, If I ate 1800 calories of butter, just every... 7:36 I mean, maybe I should do this for a day and see what happens. 7:39 That would be funny. 7:41 Okay, if you guys... 7:42 How about if I get 20 comments below saying, I want you to only eat butter for one day, then I will do it. 7:50 So it has to be comments on my YouTube. 7:52 Because I don't know. 7:53 Or maybe if your guys write some wild, amazing reviews and comments. 7:58 eat butter for a day, I'll do it, okay? 8:00 But that is not going to cause inflammation in my body. 8:04 My body actually would really thrive. 8:06 It thrives with keto and high fat. 8:08 I'm so clear too. 8:09 So anyway, that we have to remember, it's inflammation, its excess calories. 8:16 Americans, we do everything in excess. 8:20 There's only one thing that you can't do in access. 8:22 Can you guys pray? 8:23 So, anyway. 8:26 Okay, let's go to some of these other studies. 8:29 So coffee is the most widely consumed beverage globally, with 60% of Americans drinking it daily. 8:36 Now, I went total no coffee when I was nursing my kids.
Caffeine Sensitivity, Cortisol, and Withdrawal 8:40 I didn't have coffee for a long time. 8:44 I started drinking coffee, can you guess? 8:46 It's weird and it's not weird, in medical school. 8:50 So I was living at home, I went to medical in my hometown and I lived with my parents. 8:54 And I remember before tests, like I didn't drink coffee regularly before then. 8:58 I would boil or boil, make a whole thing of coffee and sit there and study because I was so tired, because i was stressed out. 9:09 Because I'm a medical student and we're stressed, it's hard. 9:13 And this brings up a good conversation about cortisol. 9:18 I have another YouTube all about how to drink coffee because of cortisol, not only do people metabolize caffeine different, 9:26 so my husband and my daughter can drink caffeine and go to bed. 9:31 It gives them a little bit of energy, but then they metabolize it so quickly. 9:37 Where me, I can't have caffeine past 11 or 12. I remember when I was really sensitive to caffeine because I really wasn't having a lot, 9:47 because it was breastfeeding, it can get passed through breast milk. 9:50 But I would eat chocolate, overdo it on the chocolate and I'd be really sensetive to it. 9:55 So the sensitivity, it's interesting because the cardiologist, how he said it in the interview was like, different people have different sensitivity. 10:07 It's more of you're desensitized to it the more you have, right? 10:12 That's why if you stop cold turkey, coffee, then you're going to get a headache. 10:17 You're gonna get that caffeine withdrawal. 10:19 And it is a stimulant, right? 10:21 So it's interesting that they're like, 400 milligrams, like let's go. 10:26 It's a stimulate. 10:29 That might drive people's cortisol higher if they are prone to that. 10:34 and then they're going to gain weight from cortisol in their gut and in your gut that is where then that's putting off inflammatory chemicals and it's 10:46 its own you know cytokine inflammatory cytekine machine so I don't like where this is, where it is hard because you hear and read these headlines and you 10:57 just like go with it right and or just It's kinda crazy, and that's why I'm gonna just start breaking down more stuff on here. 11:05 Okay. 11:07 This is really interesting. 11:08 So, consistent against reviews for liver disease. 11:13 And this is lower risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, cirrhosis liver cancer, chronic liver And this doesn't say it has to be filtered or anything. 11:24 Like I said, I think that filtered is just because the LDL, which like whatever, you know, cardiologists are obsessed with LD. 11:34 And I do, we do have to pay attention to LD because that could mean there's inflammation in women. 11:40 If your LD is high, it's because your estrogen is tanking. 11:44 Hi, perimenopause. 11:45 My LDL is pretty high right now and it's because my estrogen is going down a little bit. 11:51 So then I fixed that up. 11:53 When we look at this study, the positive health outcomes include lower incidence of type 2 diabetes, kidney stones, Parkinson's,
Health Benefits, Decaf, and Coffee Quality 12:03 gout, liver fibrosis, non-alcoholic liver disease, livers cirrhosis, and liver cancer and chronic. 12:10 I think what's cool about this is we can have coffee, drink it together, decaf. 12:18 I've looked at the studies with de-caff too, and that is good too. 12:24 So it's the coffee in general. 12:27 The coffee is appearing to lower the cancer risk, support brain protection. 12:32 Longevity-wise, it can increase. 12:35 health span, but this is not coffee with sugar or fake sugars, okay? 12:41 You have to be careful. 12:43 We don't want to make it bad and make make gross. 12:49 So decaf, the studies are showing it's generally safe and not associated with a total higher cancer risk. 12:55 If you want an extra coffee and both caffeinated and decap are associated lower mortality and liver appears to preserve some liver and metabolic effects. 13:05 So that's good because it has the polyphenols, it the chlorogenic acids that will help but lower caffeine. 13:15 Now, my concern when we look at coffee is mold. 13:20 So is it moldy? 13:22 So it needs to be tested for mycotoxins. 13:25 It needs be test for pesticides because those things are going to bog up the liver and we're trying to have coffee to decrease inflammation through the 13:36 bioactive compounds, right? 13:38 So if we're drinking toxic coffee, that's not good. 13:41 I had a mentor where she had cancer patient and told her to drink green tea like six cups a day, six to eight cups today for the ECEG, 13:49 which is an antioxidant and really, really good for cancer and inflammation. 13:54 And she got her lab draw like a month later and her liver enzymes were off the roof and they were panicking that the cancer had metastasized to the liver. 14:06 But she asked her, she had the knowledge to ask, where are you getting your green teeth? 14:12 It wasn't organic, so it was filled with pesticides and the dose makes the poison, right? 14:18 So many pesticides because she was having more volume of it that it actually caused her liver enzymes to bump. 14:25 And I've seen this with patients with supplements. 14:28 where turmeric has caused a transient liver failure. 14:32 So that's something that you have to be aware of. 14:35 Get organic coffee. 14:37 If you are going, just stock your home with organic, coffee, I don't want to dramatic. 14:43 I go through the drive-through line and get a latte. 14:46 Since we don t drink anymore, I like to have like a nice coffee sometimes, it's fun. 14:54 It's fine to a fun drink, right? 14:56 And if you're doing that sometimes and even getting a little syrup, that's because it is not every day. 15:03 But when you are doing it every, day that is when it becomes a concern. 15:07 So what I do is I have my black filter coffee. 15:12 It's organic. 15:13 I'd do one third caffeine. 15:16 And I had it with heavy cream. 15:19 Usually local, organic in a glass bottle. 15:22 Like just before I did this. 15:25 call like I was getting out of my car and it broke and shattered on the cement. 15:30 It was so sad. 15:31 I mean, it's expensive. 15:32 And it was just sad because we were going to take it to the rodeo this weekend with us. 15:37 So I have to figure out how I'm going have time to go back and get it.
Daily Coffee Routine and Final Takeaways 15:44 live cleaner, but we have to do it. 15:46 So I would rather someone just pay attention to what you have in your home. 15:52 In your homes, the things you're going to be making choices on daily and having and consuming daily, and then just I'd still want you to be better when 16:03 you're out and about and not get syrups. 16:05 But if it's an occasional thing like honey maple syrup in there, you know, just just be smart about it. 16:12 I mean, I am so sad about how many unhealthy, especially women I see. 16:18 It truly breaks my heart. 16:20 And most of it is because of what we put in our mouth. 16:24 or because we say we don't have knowledge, because don t listen to podcasts about our health. 16:29 We would rather, you know, escape and like, gosh, like watch something where it like romanticizes friend relationships. 16:38 I was talking to my daughter about this. 16:40 Like, no, we can't, right? 16:43 So don' t do that. 16:45 Don't do tha . Be better. 16:47 Let's go. 16:48 let's get healthy. 16:49 And what I really, really Like care about people being healthy because they feel better and when you feel that you are going to be. 16:57 Just you're gonna glorify god better let's be honest if you will feel tired run down like dragging like you or not. 17:04 You're just not a good vessel like it's not is not good. 17:09 So anyway. 17:10 Back to coffee this is what i do in the morning. 17:14 I have these special coffee cups I was gifted by my husband that, you know, the double insulated wall, they're so nice to drink out of. 17:24 heavy cream, I put some French vanilla amino acids in there, and then I have my cup of coffee. 17:30 And then later if I want an iced coffee and I'm like, �I want like a special iced-coffee.� Like sometimes I'll take an altheanine with it if it's in the afternoon, 17:40 or now that I�m doing a lot less caffeine in morning I might just have it, if its not too late. 17:45 I will do Salter there It's freeze-dried coffee, which actually the American Heart Association likes the freeze instant coffee or they said, 17:57 you know, the paper filter, but it's salted caramel coffee. 18:03 and it has electrolytes in it too, because that's another thing we didn't talk about, is how coffee and caffeine can dehydrate you. 18:11 So, so many different facets and avenues behind this. 18:16 It's not so simple. 18:18 Nothing is ever that simple, and that is why I like to advocate for my patients and go through stuff, cause everyone is different and complicated, 18:28 honestly. 18:28 Okay, we went through This statement we went through the nuances of it we want through what you can do. 18:39 What you should do most of the time and what sometimes you're just gonna do things a little bit different so i want to hear from y'all. 18:48 How much coffee are you drinking a day? 18:50 Do you think you have a problem? 18:52 Are you doing okay? 18:54 Does it give you enjoyment? 19:05 So thank you so much. 19:08 If this was helpful, share with a friend. 19:10 And then also I will eat just butter for a day if I get, what did I say? 19:15 20 comments. 19:17 They can't all be from one person, but okay. 19:21 Fine. 19:21 Please leave a positive review and if you'd like these solo episodes, please let me know.
