Coffee is more than a morning pick-me-up—it’s the most common source of antioxidants in the American diet and, when sourced and prepared right, it can be a daily health habit. In Episode 261 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Dr. Charles Livingston, CEO and founder of Lifeboost Coffee, to unpack what makes coffee “clean,” why some beans bother your gut (and others don’t), and how farming, testing, and roasting practices impact mold/mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, acrylamide, and even PFAS.
You’ll also hear how to “upgrade” your cup—think low-acid single-origin beans, C8 MCT oil, collagen, and L-ergothioneine—to steady energy, smoother focus, and fewer crashes. Dr. Livingston shares his “Trust Pure” approach from farm-to-cup, why he delays coffee until mid-morning for better cortisol rhythm, and simple, tasty ways to make cold brew at home.
