In this energizing episode of Cav Chats, host Teresa Fox sits down with Walsh University exercise science experts Dr. Jonathan Naylor and Dr. Meredith Joplin to explore one of the world’s most beloved (and misunderstood) beverages: coffee.
From athletic performance to cardiovascular health, muscle preservation, metabolism, and even reaction time—coffee does far more than help you wake up. Dr. Naylor and Dr. Joplin, contributors to the new textbook The Link Between Coffee and Health, break down what the research actually tells us, what’s myth, what’s fact, and how your daily cup (or three) might be helping you more than you think.
They discuss:
• How caffeine evolved from a banned substance to a trusted performance booster
• Why coffee affects the body differently than caffeine pills or energy drinks
• The role of roast type, grind size, and brewing method in health outcomes
• Coffee’s surprising link to muscle mass and aging
• What athletes need to know about coffee timing, dosage, and safety
• Whether your favorite “fancy” coffee drinks are helping… or hurting
• Upcoming Walsh research and opportunities for student participation
Whether you’re an athlete, a coffee lover, or someone simply trying to make healthier choices, this conversation is full of insights, clarity, and a few surprises. Grab your mug and join Teresa for a deep dive into the science behind your daily ritual.
