Caffeine makes me insane if I’m not careful with it. But I still drink it because I’m so addicted. I will get off it one day…
@@justchill5628 those are the benefits I get whenever I take a break from caffeine. Then I always start drinking coffee again because I get offered it all the time at work. It’s SO difficult to quit it and stay off it. I wish I never started it in the first place. We never need caffeine as kids… then we rely on it as adults to get through the day, it sucks!
It's hard to quit. But so worth it. You'll feel like a new person. At ease, happy, content with yourself...trust me, it'll take a while (you have to ease off slowly as going cold turkey will make you insane) but it'll be worth it.
Get off it, you can do it! You don't need to quit forever, but it's good to go caffeine free for some time and see how you feel.
It's definitely a challenge when coffee is the social glue at work! Instead of a coffee break, how about a 'break from coffee'? Keep exploring alternatives that energize you without the bean. You might start a new trend at work.
I’m quitting slowly, that’s the only way I can make it, now 4 days a week one cup, getting there but yeah it’s hard 🥵
Fock the caffeine, fock that drug.
I'm two months caffeine free, sleep much better and anxiety completely gone.
Good to hear.
These videos can be deceiving since coffee like anything else including prescribed drugs, will affect folks in different ways!
Caffeine can be quite the double-edged sword. Careful how much you consume. How about swapping that cup of coffee for a brisk walk or a splash of cold water? Sometimes, the best pick-me-up is just a change of pace!
@@dr.tedcorbould I started drinking coffee au leit at age five, at home and in school!
I quit caffeine and after a bumpy start with headaches and body aches, I realised it was pure drug. About 10 days into quitting I was sleeping better, training better, and get there overall feelings of joy and happiness for no reason. Just my experience
I appreciate the comment-it reminds me of when I reduced my sugar intake.
Forth right,,,great concern for coffee user,,consumer .
All your tips are really practical,,,useful
May God bless,,U,,,& similar breed
Thank you for your kind words! I'm really glad you found the information helpful.
Thank you for sharing
Happy the video helped you.
I take caffeine besides my anti psycotic medication. I feel good
Thank God, nothing nothing has ever grabbed me by the nuts. I have never been attached or addicted to anything.
Me too, coffee does nothing good or bad for me, it's no different than if I drink water.
That's interesting! It must be convenient to enjoy coffee purely for the taste without worrying about it impacting your sleep or energy levels.
It's great to hear you’ve managed to stay free from any hooks or habits. It must give you a unique freedom to explore life on your own terms.
I successfully quit and then. . . well I felt bad about the left over coffee so I started drinking it mixed with Teeccino, not even half caf, more like 1/8th caffeinated, and I still feel it makes me less able to deal with stress, more baseline vaguely worried all the time
I understand
I used to drink a pot full of percolated coffee; after I retired a switched to Folgers instant coffee and only one cup a day. Keeps my brain sharp at 87.!
That’s a brilliant shift! It sounds like you’ve fine-tuned your coffee routine. Keep thriving!
Did you get your doctorate from Starbucks?
A pot a day for 60 years
good
Thanks
What a load of nonsense……..

What about vascular effects of caffeine on our body?
Caffeine certainly has a complex effect on the vascular system. It's always a good idea to monitor how your body reacts to caffeine, especially if you have any cardiovascular concerns. Conversations with healthcare providers can provide personalized advice based on your health profile and how caffeine interacts with it.
Great U are open,,,concern for the coffee user.
God bless U @@dr.tedcorbould
Caffeine is not the problem in coffee it is the amount of pesticides and chemical .
That's a good point. Opting for organic coffee can help reduce pesticide use and ensure a cleaner product.
What a quack.....total rubbish... caffeine is always damaging. Doctor?
Caffeine certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea (or coffee)! It's all about finding what works for your body and sticking with it. If you've found that cutting out caffeine keeps your engine running smoother, that's great insight into what keeps you at your best -no quacks about it!
this guys a doctor?! lol
