Coffee & Your Health | What You Need To Know

Don't you dare take away my coffee . . .

I know that's what you're thinking! So let me be totally clear from the start - it is NOT my intention in this episode to take away your coffee. Some people do perfectly fine drinking coffee, BUT some people DO NOT. My intention here is share with you some ways in which coffee and caffeine COULD be interfering with your health, how to tell, and what to do about it.

This episode came about because I saw a random post on Instagram saying that coffee on an empty stomach is bad for your health and bad for your thyroid. I had never heard that before so I HAD to learn more. And of course share it with YOU. Down the rabbit hole I went . . .

Turns out, the lady was right - coffee on an empty stomach CAN be really detrimental to your health and your weight loss attempts. And not only that, but it can also interfere with your thyroid medication, your blood sugar, your acid reflux, your anxiety and stress, and not surprisingly your sleep. Coffee and caffeine are not a good choice for everyone, and even if they have been fine for you in the past, they may not be now.

I'm going to break down the science for you about all things coffee and health but here's the bottom line: only YOU know if it's right for YOU. I'm going to challenge you to get honest with yourself and whether or not coffee could be causing or contributing to some of the health conditions you're dealing with. There's a pretty good chance that a lot of you are in denial about how coffee is affecting you because you'd rather give up a limb than have to quit coffee. What kind of health coach would I be if I didn't challenge you? But don't worry, I'll give you some strategies to have your coffee and keep your health too 😉
