Dr Jockers Comments:
Coffee is rich in powerful polyphenol anti-oxidants chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. These anti-oxidants help to preferentially support the development of healthy microbes in the intestines such as bifido bacterium. Coconut oil and grass-fed butter help to further support the gut with small and medium chain fatty acids. These fats help to reduce inflammation in the body, help the thyroid function better and improve brain processing.
Cinnamon and nutmeg help to stabilize blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity. The caffeine in the coffee will drive up some adrenal activity and increase blood sugar levels. By adding in coconut oil and/or grass-fed butter along with cinnamon you help to stabilize blood sugar and give you long-lasting energy, fat burning and improved mood and memory.
A cup of organic coffee daily is a wonderful health recommendation for most individuals. Using this recipe is the BEST way to maximize the performance enhancing benefits of coffee without the adrenal and blood sugar roller coaster that often occurs with coffee and caffeine consumption.
H Dr. Jockers. I tried the coffee from you smoothie night and it was delicious. This morning I added a small amount of raw organic Cacao powder. It was yummy too. Thank you for all you suggestions. I love them.
That is so good to hear Anne! Good idea on the raw cacao!
Hi dr jockers I’m new in your web site but i like it so far, i drink espresso 2 or 3 a day ) no sugar sometimes turbinado sugar (organic ) but i will try this recipe it looks awesome.plus the benefits,thanks for your website. i read a lot another one call dr Christopher from Utah
You will LOVE this recipe Maggie! I think you will really enjoy the content on our website. Many Blessings!
Can you add some nutpod creamer to it?
Yes for sure!!
I enjoyed the coffee! How does this effect a person who does intermittent fasting? Can one use this recipe and still be in fasting stage? And is it ok to use a tsp of Organic pure cane sugar?
Yes you can use this and continue to intermittent fast. So it can be used during the cleansing phase. It will take away from the results…but you will still notice a huge improvement in your metabolic flexability. I would, however, not recommend using any sort of sugar or sweetener with sugar…only stevia in this.
I add 2 oz grass fed organic whole milk is that OK?
Raw milk would be a great addition, many people have inflammatory reactions to pasteurized dairy
Just one cup ? I usually have three cups in the am
That is a bit much!!!
I have read about mold and internal cleaning issues.
