Should You Take a Break from Coffee? 

As good ol’ Anonymous observed, “Humanity runs on coffee.”

Yet here I am suggesting you might want to quit. Before I get into why, let me assure you that by and large, I still think coffee has more benefits than downsides. It improves workouts and memory, fights fatigue, and epidemiological evidence links coffee consumption to a host of health benefits.

Confront Your Biases | Diana Rodgers

Today we are thrilled to welcome author, documentarian, regenerative farmer, and registered dietitian, Diana Rodgers, to our show. Diana has been on our wish list of people to interview since the very beginning of Health Coach Radio and we couldn’t be more excited to finally bring you this episode. Diana has just released her latest book, Sacred Cow, co-written with Robb Wolf, which dissects the nutritional, environmental, and ethical case for better meat. If you are a health coach working in the nutrition space, at some point you will be asked for your opinion on plant-based or animal-based diets and Sacred Cow will help you explore all sides of the argument in order to arm your clients with well-rounded knowledge on the matter. In this episode, we also discuss Diana’s story, nutritional research and its shortcomings, what she would consider being “better meat,” and what is next for Diana now that the writing and filming of Sacred Cow are complete. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did.
