Settling The "Food Before Coffee" Debate Ep. 32
A question I get a lot and something I see on social media constantly is the advice/debate on whether or not to consume food before having that first cup of coffee in the morning. I love podcasting because I can share the nuance with this particular issue and I'm not confined to cramming it on an infographic or a 60 story. I want to explain the role of cortisol in the morning, the problems with cortisol and chronic stress, my own personal preference, and more!
