   Is Coffee Good or Bad for You? Caffeine, Antioxidants, Longevity & Brain Health With Andrew Salisbury

   Coffee may do far more than wake you up. Research has linked coffee consumption to longevity, brain health, heart health, Type 2 diabetes, liver disease and cognitive decline. But does the coffee you drink—and how it's grown, roasted and brewed—change those potential benefits? Coffee is one of the most widely consumed and extensively studied beverages in the world. Yet the conversation around it can feel remarkably confusing. Is coffee actually good for you? How much is too much? Does decaf count? Are darker or lighter roasts healthier? And does the quality of your coffee matter more than most of us realize? In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Andrew Salisbury, founder of Purity Coffee, to unpack the research behind coffee, caffeine, antioxidants and health—and what may actually be hiding in your morning cup. They go beyond the caffeine buzz to explore what scientists are learning about coffee's bioactive compounds, how growing and roasting can affect what ends up in your cup, and why not all coffee is necessarily created equal. In this episode, you'll uncover: ☕ Is coffee actually good or bad for your health? ☕ What research suggests about coffee, longevity and healthy aging ☕ How coffee may relate to brain health and cognitive decline ☕ What coffee may mean for cardiovascular and metabolic health ☕ Why antioxidants and polyphenols matter ☕ Whether light, medium or dark roast contains more beneficial compounds ☕ How growing, sourcing, roasting and storage can affect coffee quality ☕ What to know about mold, contaminants and pesticides in coffee ☕ Whether expensive or specialty coffee is actually healthier ☕ What happens when you order coffee from major chains ☕ Coffee vs. decaf: do you need caffeine to get the potential benefits? ☕ What to look for when choosing coffee at the grocery store If coffee is part of your morning ritual, this episode may change the way you think about what's in your cup. Because when it comes to coffee, the question may not simply be "Is coffee healthy?"—but "What coffee are you actually drinking?" At Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal brings you conversations at the intersection of longevity, women's health, mental health, self-advocacy, and healthcare innovation, helping you understand the hidden systems shaping how you feel, move, and heal. 🎧Tune in and join Dr. Meenal Agarwal as we reimagine what it means to be well in today's complex healthcare system.
