The videos on this channel will be focused around helping women navigate healthspan and longevity through the lens of osteoporosis, perimenopause, and menopause. When it comes to osteoporosis and menopause providers and educators often get tunnel vision and your symptoms might get better, but if you don't keep longevity in mind, symptom improvement may come at the expense of heart and brain health.

I did a deep dive for organic coffee beans that are tested for mold & mycotoxins, also fair traded, and high polyphenols for health. Also, the coffee had to taste full-bodied, not like hot water! Many are expensive with NO testing results available. I found what I think is the best! It’s ‘Cardiology’ coffee. Made specifically for a group of cardiologists in Scottsdale AZ because they see many heart health benefits from good quality coffee consumption. The dark roast is amazing! Delicious! They also have a medium roast. I think they have it ground already, too. It’s available on Amazon or can be ordered directly from their website. I know many pay a lot for Purity coffee. I tried it and found it had no taste, just my opinion.

I love coffee! However, I cut back from 40gr/day to 20 when I researched it about 3 yrs ago. At that time I was dx'd with Osteoporosis (T score -3.4). I've improved my T score to -1.2 as of last Dec. I only drink organic coffee beans to avoid pesticide residues. Coffee is the most heavily pesticide laden crop in the world. I grind them by hand with a manual burr grinder just before brewing. I use a pour over with a non-bleached paper filter to reduce cafestol. I add vanilla whey protein and glycine for bone health and flavoring. My favorite beans are med-dark roasted organic beans from South America. BTW, I admit to a serious case of confirmation bias when it comes to evaluating the health benefits/risks of coffee consumption. ;)

I tend to drink decaf most of the time when at home. If I go out, I seldom get decaf because it tastes awful at most restaurants. There are a couple of exceptions here in Milwaukee where I live. Typically, these serve coffees I also make at home, which are locally roasted. My preferences are decafs from Collectivo, Valentine and Stone Creek Coffee. There are a few other roasters in Milwaukee but I haven’t tried them. Usually, I get beans and grind them myself before making a pot. I also have a Keurig for making single cups if I won’t be around to drink more than 1 cup. For K-cups I use several brands , mostly purchased online because finding a strong, dark roast decaf in the local supermarket is practically impossible. Basically, I drink coffee for the flavor, not the caffeine. I get that in energy drinks (sugar free of course) so I don’t need it in my coffee.

[@Dr_DougLucas]

[@zsigzsag]

Many sodas have caffeine, surprised they weren't mentioned. Did subjects in the studies include consumption of caffeinated soft drinks, energy drinks, even bottled waters, widely used? I drink a 16oz mug of coffee in the morning that's it, very rarely will have coffee or any caffeine at night. The best coffee I've ever had is IKEA's "PATAR" coffee, expensive and a bit hard to find except in their stores (over an hour away from my area). I would spend the money if it were local. My usual coffee is Folgers "Black Silk". 7-11 ground coffe not too bad either and affordable. Some stores sell bags of their ground coffee.

the study 300 mg caffeine is “a lot of coffee”..-(at 80-100 mg caffeine in 8 oz)..3 cups? And, seriously, what coffee mug actually holds JUST 8 oz?? I’m sure people get much more than they think!😬 I started 3 years ago mixing same coffee-1 lbs decaf with1lb regular-this has helped me cut my caffeine in the 2-3 cups I get a day. After AM, I’m a decaf green tea drinker… no caffeine past noon. My sleep has become so important. And I’m up at 5am to walk. Thanks for this video… I guess it is/ isn’t harmful 🤷‍♀️ As with most addictive things, less really is more!

Seattle's Best Organic Coffee, using a non bleached filter, pour over method, two cups in the morning and not at the same time as calcium. I do have organic kombucha at lunch for gut health. Recently had a DEXA and for the first time the technician asked a series of 20 questions which included: "how much coffee do you drink?" I asked if they were comparing the information with others and DEXA results for a study and she said no. Currently, trying to do 1/2 decaf. with 1/2 caffeine. Concerned about loosing the benefits of caffeine such as cognitive function as I get older.

What about JUST caffeine (as in caffeine tablets) without coffee or tea? Coffee upsets my stomach (possibly due to all the crap I put in it to make it palatable) and I’m not fond of the taste of caffeinated teas. I do have osteoporosis so would love to know if I’m shooting myself in the foot taking 100-200 mg (half to a full tablet) of caffeine a day (to help wake up and focus my mind before getting out of bed in the morning). Any research available?
