337 - The Coffee Watchdog: “Your Latte Might Fund Slavery & Deforestation” | Etelle Higonnet

“Their cup of coffee, that delightful delicious cup that's helping them start their day and fuel these wonderful moments with their friends and family, almost certainly has either slavery, child labor, and deforestation in it. How has this industry gotten away with the plastic, with the cups, the milk, the human rights abuses, the deforestation? Scientists tell us this is the 11th hour. We are running out of time.” What would drive someone to take on some of the most powerful industries on Earth? This episode dives deep with Etelle Higonnet, a lawyer turned fearless activist who has dedicated her life to exposing the hidden abuses behind the products we use every day. From cocoa and palm oil to rubber and now coffee, she has fought to rebuild broken systems from the inside out. As the founder of Coffee Watch, Etelle is leading a global effort to transform one of humanity’s favorite and most destructive commodities into a model of sustainability and fairness. We explore how she has held corporations accountable, what it takes to create real impact, and why every purchase and every choice matters more than we realize. What we discuss in this episode: The hidden truth behind your daily cup of coffee: what’s really going into it and who pays the price. What it would actually cost per cup to ensure your coffee is ethical and environmentally sound. How to find coffee that’s sustainably sourced and free of toxic chemicals. The primary drivers of global deforestation. Dark secrets behind chocolate production. What agroforestry is and why it’s critical to the planet’s future. How climate change affects coffee production. Practical steps you can take to make a real difference.

"That is one of my core values—to try to live a life of non-violence and not contribute to anyone’s suffering in any way, because we’re all suffering in our own way, and we’re all fighting a battle that everybody knows nothing about. Something as simple as eating can be an act of compassion or an act of violence, and you get to decide" It’s not often you come across a person who has graced the front cover of Men's Fitness magazine, and it’s even rarer when that exceptionally chiseled person happens to be vegan.

“Human potential really is infinite. Along the way, we created a whole bunch of concepts in fear-based thinking that got in the way of us turning the fire on that everyone of us has inside us. But sadly, if all we do is we sit on the couch and watch Netflix, you don’t unlock it. You’ve got to do something. You are not here to live the life everyone’s telling you to live. The world wants you to be who you are. I don’t think that what we should be doing is taking input from the world. We should build ourselves first. It’s never too late. It doesn’t matter if you start when you’re 57, you’re 29, whatever age it is.” -Joe Gagnon What if the limits you believe in are just illusions?

He joins us to share how curiosity, courage, and grit can help anyone uncover their “why,” move through fear, and step into their full potential.

“Mushrooms are so crazy. That’s why I love them. It’s healing. Some can kill you. Some can heal you. Some are just delicious. There’s just so many different ways mushrooms are used. A lot of people struggling with PTSD, you kind of just have that calming effect, where you can now kind of go out in the real world and you’re just not ambushed by all of these different emotions and other things that has happened to you. You just re-homeostasis.” —Kaitlyn Kuehn “Is there any evidence showing that mushrooms can slow down cognitive decline?” —Jason Wrobel “Reishi mushroom is the oldest studied mushroom and used for so many different things, like detoxing to inflammation, diabetes, cognitive benefits, nerve healing, digestion health. There’s so many different medicinal aspects to different mushrooms and they do have overlapping benefits.” —Kaitlyn Kuehn “I have such a deep love as a chef for using mushrooms in recipes for their medicinal benefits. The texture. The flavor.” —Jason Wrobel “All mushrooms help lower inflammation. As little as a quarter cup a week actually can lower inflammation markers. So it just naturally lowers blood pressure.” —Kaitlyn Kuehn “Why would someone want to take mushrooms on a daily basis? Whether or not they’re battling disease or some disorder. Are you a proponent for someone to be taking mushrooms medicinally as a supplement each day?” —Jason Wrobel “It really depends on…” —Kaitlyn Kuehn This week’s guest, Kaitlyn Kuehn, also known as KK, is a plant biologist and mycology enthusiast on a mission to decode the secret life of plants and fungi.

“The morning, up until around lunch, is the best time of day to eat most of our calories. And in fact, there’s been really great research. Even if you don't change the timing of your meals, if you make breakfast and lunch the largest meals of the day and dinner the smallest meal of the day, you lose more weight. And not only do you lose more weight, you're actually less hungry.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson  “Talk about these time intervals. Why is 14 a magic number?” -Jason Wrobel  “Typically, it takes the body about 12 to 14 hours to burn through a lot of its glycogen stores. Initially after a meal, your body's gonna be burning a lot of carbohydrates—so, glucose. It's gonna burn through a lot of the actual food in the meal, then it'll store some, burn others.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson  “Are there any scientifically reported benefits for hormone health, or managing cancer, with TRE?” -Jason Wrobel  “The area of cancer is super fascinating. Valter Longo does a lot of work in both the realms of aging and longevity, and cancer. Many years ago, he and some collaborators discovered if you fast cells or animals with cancer prior to treating the cancer with chemotherapy and radiation, you could kill tumors far more effectively.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson What if the timing of your meals mattered just as much as the food on your plate? In this episode, we’re diving into the fascinating science of time-restricted eating with Dr. Courtney Peterson—one of the world’s leading researchers on how aligning our meals with the body’s internal clock can transform our health. A Harvard-trained scientist and Associate Professor of Nutrition Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Peterson was the first to test early time-restricted eating in humans, and her groundbreaking work is redefining how we think about metabolism, energy, and chronic disease. If you’ve ever wondered if nourishment runs deeper than nutrients—that your body might be seeking harmony—then this episode will strike a chord. What we discuss in this episode: Different types of intermittent fasting: how they compare, and what benefits they offer. The science behind time-restricted eating (TRE). How TRE supports weight loss and appetite regulation. Fasting, aging, and the process of autophagy. The best time of day to consume the majority of your calories. How meal timing can influence fertility and reproductive health in women. Grazing vs. structured mealtimes: what the science shows. The intersection of cancer treatment and fasting: what emerging research reveals. Hypertrophy and intermittent fasting. How fasting influences exercise performance. Dr. Peterson’s personal approach to intermittent fasting.
