Let's Take a Coffee Break: Exploring The Dangers of America's #1 Drug, Caffeine
Welcome to the 22nd episode of the Back to Human podcast.
On this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Stephen Cherniske. Stephen is a biochemist and former university instructor in Clinical Nutrition. He has served on the faculty of the American College of Sports Medicine, advised members of the US Olympic team, and directed the nation's first federally licensed clinical laboratory specializing in nutrition and immunology.
Stephen is a best-selling author of several books including Caffeine Blues, The DHEA Breakthrough & The Metabolic Makeover. He also hosts a website called The Healthy Skeptics with this wife Natalie that focuses on sifting through much of the "webaloney" that proliferates throughout social media. Prior to this episode he celebrated his 75th birthday. The theme of the party was "So far, so good!" which seemed appropriate considering his vitality! Among some of the topics on this episode we discuss:
• Stephen's awakening with caffeine/coffee as a stimulant drug • How caffeine does not provide you energy • How caffeine is not regulated and companies do not need to disclose how much is in their products • Rapid metabolizers vs slow metabolizers • How caffeine impairs your deep sleep and muscle recovery • Is caffeine neuroprotective or neurodegenerative? • The affect of caffeine on DHEA, a hormone that is a precursor to estrogen and testosterone • How caffeine affects women differently than men. (Pregnant, breastfeeding & menopause) • My experience with going caffeine free • What are some hidden sources of caffeine? • Why do we get withdrawal symptoms? • How can we mitigate these withdrawal like symptoms? Websites: • www.thehealthyskeptics.com • www.my2048.com (Free DHEA .pdf download)
Books: • Caffeine Blues: Wake Up to the Hidden Dangers of America's #1 Drug by Stephen Cherniske, M.S. • The DHEA Breakthrough by Stephen Cherniske, M.S. • The Metabolic Makeover by Stephen Cherniske, M.S.
