The #1 coffee MISTAKE

It’s Coffee Day, {NAME} — so today I’m sharing my top 5 coffee tips you need to know {NAME} — did you drink coffee this morning? I sure hope so… Because today is National Coffee Day! Now I personally LOVE coffee, and it’s actually great for your health. It’s packed with polyphenols which can help boost your energy and curb food cravings… And it's actually the #1 source of polyphenols in many people's diets! Coffee can also improve your focus, thanks to the caffeine content — which helps keep your energy levels steady… Plus, when you drink coffee during or after a meal, it can actually help stimulate the blood vessels in your digestive tract, to help you digest your meal better. But there ARE some Do’s and Don'ts when it comes to drinking coffee. That’s why today, in honor of ‘Coffee Day’… I’m sharing my Top 5 Coffee Tips to ensure you’re drinking your coffee the right way — And reaping the most health rewards possible while enjoying a good ol' cup of joe.  Dr. Gundry’s Top 5 Coffee Tips Coffee Tip #1) Don't buy flavored beans. French vanilla, cinnamon, birthday cake, bacon… These days, they'll make coffee taste like anything. But if you're buying flavored beans — you're buying coffee that has unhealthy artificial flavors added in. And a lot of artificial flavors are made from compounds that can mess with your gut, skin, and overall health… So I suggest staying away from flavored beans. (If you want a slight flavor to your coffee, try adding a bit of cinnamon, which is great for your health.) Coffee Tip #2) Skip the super dark roast. Now, an occasional dark roast isn't the end of the world… But if you're drinking dark roast regularly, you're missing out on some of coffee’s best health benefits. See, to make a dark roast coffee, the beans are cooked for a really long time over high heat… Meaning a lot of the energy-boosting polyphenols are destroyed, and harmful advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are created. That's a problem because AGEs can actually “AGE” you prematurely — and make your body look and feel way older than it should. Try for light or medium roasts to get the full benefits of the polyphenols in coffee. Coffee Tip #3) Steer clear of dairy. Most of the cow's milk in this country is loaded with casein A1, which can cause serious digestive issues for a lot of people. But before you switch to non-dairy milk — here’s something you need to know: Popular alternatives like soy milk and oat milk are loaded with lectins, which can mess with your gut… And leave you feeling sluggish, bloated, and heavy. That's why I suggest using coconut milk instead. Because coconut milk contains MCTs — a fascinating compound that can help reduce body fat, support your gut and heart health, and give your energy levels a big boost. Just make sure it's unsweetened coconut milk. (For an extra boost of MCTs, try [Gundry MD MCT Wellness]( — designed to supercharge your energy, digestion, and metabolism. It’s easy to add to your morning routine, and makes you feel fit, active, and fantastic all day long. I drink it every morning!) Coffee Tip #4) Don't add tons of sweetener. The other day, I saw someone dump 6 packets of sugar into their small coffee. I couldn't believe it! But the truth is, almost everyone I know adds some kind of sweetener to their coffee… From high-calorie sugar, honey, and flavored syrups… To gut-destroying artificial sweeteners that come in those colorful little packets. So here’s my suggestion: Drink your coffee with as little sweetener as possible. And if you do need to add something, use a gut-safe sweetener like allulose. ([Here]( is my #1 recommendation for allulose. I use it in coffee all the time. It’s the perfect gut-friendly sugar substitute that won’t wreck your diet, plus it’s great for baking and cooking too.) Coffee Tip #5) Avoid bottled coffee drinks. I know how convenient those pre-mixed bottled coffees can be… But most of them are LOADED with sugar, dairy, and tons of unhealthy additives. I mean, how else could you keep a latte stable on the shelf? And even the ones that are just black coffee often come in plastic bottles or bottles with plastic-lined lids. I always suggest avoiding food stored in plastic containers, as some of the chemicals in plastic can find their way into your system… Which can disrupt your body’s hormones and lead to serious health issues. Now when it comes to coffee, there’s a million options out there. But if your coffee doesn't tick these 5 boxes… Frankly, it’s not worth it. So I hope you remember these tips on your next trip to the coffee shop, {NAME}... And I hope you have a wonderful Coffee Day! Looking out for you, Steven Gundry, MD [Steven Gundry, MD] P.S. As for me? Most of the time I drink hot coffee, and drink it black… But if I want to jazz things up a little, sometimes I'll mix in a tablespoon of ground raw cacao (make sure it doesn’t say “dutched” or alkali) for an added dose of polyphenols. Of course, some days call for a nice cold drink… So occasionally I'll blend up a strong cup of coffee with some ice. But whether I'm drinking coffee hot or cold, there's always one thing I always do: I make sure that my coffee beans are as polyphenol rich as possible. Like I said, a lot of roasters over roast their coffee for a rich or burnt taste… but that kills off some of the polyphenols and caffeine. So personally, I look for a gentler roast like [Gundry MD Ethiopian Coffee](. Our practices help preserve our coffee’s beans, nutrients, and flavor… So you can enjoy all the health benefits of this premium coffee — like a supported heart, elevated metabolism, and stronger focus — along with its rich, fruit-forward taste. It comes pre-ground and has a rich, light, and nutty flavor with hints of graham crackers and grapefruit… And it's absolutely delicious, whether hot or over ice — making it the perfect all-weather drink. If you're anything like me, it will become your favorite morning drink in no time, and you'll never want to run out… So I encourage you to stock up. After all, coffee is one of the best ways to start the morning — for your health and taste buds… And you deserve nothing but the absolute best. :)   This email was sent to {EMAIL} by newsletter@gundrymd.com [Edit Profile]( | [Manage Subscriptions]( | [VIP Discounts]( | [Join Text Club]( 145 S.
