In This Episode:
Most people love their morning cup of coffee — but what if it’s doing more than waking you up? In this episode, Dr. David Jockers dives into the surprising truth behind coffee, your genes, and why it affects everyone differently.
For some, coffee boosts energy, sharpens focus, and even supports longevity. For others? It triggers jitters, anxiety, blood sugar spikes, and sleep disruption.
The 65/35 Coffee Rule No One Talks About
Here’s the twist: 65% of people benefit from coffee, while 35% don’t. It’s not about discipline or tolerance — it’s about genetics, metabolism, and the type of coffee you drink. Dr. Jockers explains how caffeine interacts with your brain chemistry and why your nervous system either loves coffee… or panics because of it.
You’ll learn how to tell which camp you’re in — and what to do if coffee currently works against you, not for you.
Drink Coffee Smarter — Not Harder
What if changing when you drink coffee could improve your energy and sleep? Or choosing mold and mycotoxin-free beans could eliminate digestive discomfort? You’ll discover powerful tweaks like waiting 90 minutes after waking, adding minerals, and supporting caffeine metabolism naturally. Small shifts — big benefits.
Ready to find out if coffee is your secret health tool… or your hidden stress trigger? This episode is your guide.

Use an Organic, Mycotoxin Free, Shade Grown Coffee
Low-quality conventional coffee is not great. Pesticides and mycotoxin in coffee can be harmful to your health (18, 19, 20). It is important that you drink high-quality, organic, mycotoxin-free, and shade-grown coffee for optimal benefits and safety.
I personally love and highly recommend Lifeboost Coffee. This coffee is organic, free from GMO, shade-grown, sun-dried, pesticide and chemical-free, full of antioxidants, stomach-friendly, less acidic than most coffee, and fairly traded with a 2-year shelf life. Most importantly, it is absolutely delicious.
Right now, they have a special sale for my community where you can try this delicious, low-acid, immune boosting coffee for up to 50% off for a limited time. You can also get a one-time 15% discount on any single purchase using the coupon code JOCKERS15 at checkout.
