Exploring the Effects and Considerations of Caffeine Consumption on the Brain

In this episode we dive deep into the science behind Caffeine, the psychoactive substance found in coffee, tea, gels and other products. I chat about what it does to the brain, how it keeps you awake, why it’s a performance enhancer. Plus I explore how it interacts with dopamine within the brain to increase alertness as well as dopamine signalling in the brain.
