Daniel Solomons and Shawn Wells join us for a fascinating discussion on the harmful effects of a substance consumed by 90% of the global population: caffeine.

We dive into…

➝ The cognitive and emotional risks of caffeine

➝ Why do we experience withdrawal from caffeine?

➝ Improving long-term brain function with paraxanthine
