About this episode

This episode discusses the complexities of caffeine and its effects on health with neuroscientist Dr Tommy Wood.

Today’s guest, like myself, is passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their health by simplifying the wealth of information that exists and giving people practical, realistic recommendations. Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today’s clip is from episode 404 of the podcast with Dr Tommy Wood. Tommy is Assistant Professor of Paediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington, US. In this clip, we aim to cut through some of the confusion about caffeine, including how it may affect your energy, focus, sleep, stress levels and even performance in ways you may not expect. We discuss why caffeine isn’t simply ‘good’ or ‘bad’, why timing and dose matter, and how finding what works for you may be the most important thing of all.
