Buffer Your Coffee To Protect Gut And Hormones
- Buffer coffee by eating a few bites of food or adding healthy fats or collagen to the cup.
- These options reduce cortisol spikes and protect your gut lining before caffeine hits.
Ditch Inflammatory Creamers And Emulsifiers
- Avoid creamers with seed oils, carrageenan, emulsifiers, and artificial sweeteners.
- Choose minimal-ingredient fats like coconut oil or olive oil and sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia.
Mycotoxins Can Hide In Roasted Coffee Beans
- Many coffee beans carry heat-stable mycotoxins that survive roasting and accumulate in tissues.
- Mycotoxin exposure links to immune suppression, cognitive dysfunction, liver stress, and hormonal disruption.
