Morning Coffee: Are You Drinking it too Soon after Waking? - Thomas DeLauer
Humans are guided by the 24-hour hormonal cycle referred to as the circadian clock, which is preprogrammed into us genetically and although we can mess with our cycles through lifestyle habits, the major factor in its regulation is sunlight
One of the things that this clock controls in humans is the release of cortisol which makes us feel alert and awake
The peak production of cortisol occurs between 8-9 am (under normal circumstances) - this means that at the time that many people are having their first cup of coffee, their bodies are actually "naturally caffeinating" the most effectively
The times of peak cortisol levels in most people are between 8-9 am, 12-1 pm and 5:30-6:30 pm
Therefore, timing your coffee breaks between 9:30-11:30 and 1:30 and 5:00 takes advantage of the dips in your cortisol levels when you need a boost the most
Chronopharmacology can be defined as the study of the interaction of biological rhythms and drug action
One of the most important biological rhythms is, as mentioned, your circadian clock - this endogenous 24 hour clock alters your physiology and behavior in variety of ways but it can also alter many properties of drugs including drug safety (pharmacovigilance), pharmacokinetics, drug efficacy, and possibly drug tolerance
Fun fact: In studies, by creating an "island" in the brain by methodically cutting the hypothalamus away from any surrounding tissue, the circadian clock was completely lost
So drinking your morning coffee at 8am isn’t really the best time due to the circadian rhythm of cortisol production at that time
Drug tolerance is an important subject, especially in the case of caffeine since most of us overuse this drug
Therefore, if we are drinking caffeine at a time when your cortisol concentration in the blood is at its peak, you probably should not be drinking it
In the morning then, your coffee will probably be the most effective if you enjoy it between 9:30 and 11:30am, when your cortisol levels are dropping before the next spike
Published in The Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, researchers analyzed how caffeine disrupts sleep when consumed at different points in time during the day
The volunteers included 12 healthy men and women who were normal sleepers and regularly consumed moderate amounts of caffeine
During the study, they maintained their normal sleep routines with bedtimes from 9 pm to 1 am, and wake times of 6 am to 9 am - they slept somewhere between 6.5 to 9 hours each night without napping during the daytime
Participants were given a fixed dose of caffeine, along with placebos, at 0, 3, and 6 hours before bedtime - 400 mg of caffeine was administered, which is equivalent to around four cups of coffee
Researchers monitored signs of sleep disturbance using a sleeping monitor and found:
At 0, 3, and 6 hours before bedtime, caffeine had a significant effect on sleep disturbance - even caffeine consumed 6 hours before bed affected sleep amounts by over an hour
Sleep quality was diminished when caffeine was consumed at all three points during the day. Compared to the placebo, there was a significant amount of time spent awake during the night, including when caffeine was consumed 6 hours before.
However, the perception of caffeine’s effect on the body was not a direct measure of how it affected sleep
When caffeine was consumed 6 hours before bed, they did not report any effect to their sleep quality - the sleep monitor showed a different story, though
Concluded that we shouldn’t fully rely on our own perceptions to judge how caffeine is really affecting us, especially when it comes to sleep

For people in a hurry, a quick sum up:
- Drink caffeine 1 hour after waking up.
- Drink caffeine 1 hour after lunch (but at least 6 hours before bedtime for better sleep).
- After that, less caffeinated drinks for better sleep.
the hero we need !
6 hours before bedtime is too late, sleep will be screwed.
Andrey G took me YEARS to figure this fact out
@@sonarsphere lmao I drink 6-8 cups a day, sometime 3 hiurs before I go to bed and I fall asleep like a child.
@@SolkanStudiosTV The ability to fall asleep and sleep quality are not the same
Water, meditation, walking and sunlight are ideal immediately after waking. Bonus points if you can incorporate a stretch and if you're creative, write three pages of anything. This is a real game changer for your physical and mental health.
most important things i've learned on this channel so far:
1 - Don't overthink
2 - Respect your goals
3 - Be consistent
4 - Keep it sustainable
5 - Get things done
6 - There's no such thing as "too much avocado"
😂avocado 🤓
I believe in yesterday's video he says he keeps it to 1 avo a day, because of the sugars...;)
Well, it depends if you wanna consider the fact that the avocado industry is really dirty. In Mexico (motherland of avocado) it is run by cartels. Yes, people get murdered over avocados. In Chile (another big producer of avocado) the state has gone so far as privatizing water and forcing farmers of their land to grow avocado. Remember: In the Native Mexican language Nahuatl "Avocado" literally means testicle. Always treat testicles with respect.
Absolutely agree Thomas! I usually wait until 11:00 am and it works great for me. I don't "Need" it to wake up - I hydrate and take a shower in the morning and then wait 2 hours to get my coffee and it feels great... Awesome video :)
Man Thomas, you're looking wayyyy better than in the last few years. AMAZING transformation. You've been able to help me with explaining fasting to others with HARD SCIENCE. Including my own physique. I'm a hard gainer, very active metabolism, too much cardio. So ya now I'm making gains. 1.5lbs - 3lbs of muscle gained per month. 3 months in already went from 142-152. First 2 months were mostly eating and little training. Last 4 weeks, lots of training.
Thomas! I’m telling you you’re right on point with Dr Amen Ra! Coffee & Green Tea/Matcha are staples in his diet. His protocol calls for drinking coffee each morning after a 30-90 min cardio session, just like how you’re saying to wait an hour before drinking the coffee! His book also goes into the details of the importance of the circadian rhythm and benefits of timing the ingesting of his nutraceuticals. You can donate to his website to get a pdf of his work!
What's the name of his website??
Perfect timing, that it decided for me. Im going to go back to training on an empty stomach in the morning, then have a pea protein shake then mid morning i'll have my keto coffee. Thanks :-)
No worries!
I like how you broke this down in simple terms. It was short and to the point. I now understand, when to take my caffeine thanks to this video. ❤
My first drink for the last year or two has been lemon water-often with electrolytes. 2nd comes coffee-now black with pink salt and raw cacao. Delish...and a pre-workout primer! I have a couple more drinks I may or may not add after that, too:)
Sounds delish!
Vinegar is even better first thing in morning fyi :)
I agree with the studies. It explains why coffee does not wake me up like before! And if I have coffee late in the afternoon, it will affect my sleep quality. Thanks for this informative video
In the beginning of learning IF and KETO, I felt overwhelmed and rushed to learn everything fast, so I would look at the comments for the timestamps to skip forward. But now that I'm over 2months into KETO and feeling the amazing benefits of it, I'm taking more time to learn the reasons of why we do what we do. You're so informative and a great teacher and overall making my life better, so thank you for that Thomas.
Thanks for supporting O.U.R
God bless!
so relateable and cant wait to try this, im so used to having coffee as soon as im up and wondering why ive built up a tolerance, everything makes sense, and if this works, thankyou so much
You’re welcome!
I drink coffee because of the taste. I have never felt it would wake me up or boost me in any way. I just love the taste of a good italian kind of espresso.
Yep. Me too
Me too
I really enjoy drinking 10 cups of Coffee right before bed. I wake up refreshed and ready to conquer the day.
😆
It's crazy you just posted this. I did an experiment that ended today. I tested my 14 hour fasted GKI while drinking coffee regularly. I then got off caffeine for a week and a half. Today, I drank 2 cups of coffee while 14 hours fasted and tested my GKI (same time in the day) and it was half of what it was when I was drinking coffee regularly.
I'm assuming the caffeine, while caffeine sensitive, generated a more aggressive catecholamine response that stimulates lipolysis and spiked ketone production.
I wake up, & by the time it takes for me to get moving. I take the dogs out run them & feed them, I put my coffee on & it's about an hour by default cuz I can't move very fast when I first get up. And on the two days a week I do fullbody time under tension work out. It falls in my last hour of fasting. Which fall's in line with what you've been saying for , optimal fat burning. I've lost enough fat that I now can tell much quicker how smaller adjustments will affect me. The one thing that really has made a very noticeable difference is I stopped taking any pill or oil form of supplaments till after I break my fast. The last bit of belly fat around the bellybutton is melting away. You know your stuff Thomas. 90lbs gone, I'm disabled & have abs never had them visible in my life. Now at 48 in pain 247 I look great.
I save my coffee for later in the day.
My morning wake up is a cold shower 🚿
You are a stronger man than I.
I love waking up to freshly brewed coffee and sipping it when I'm still sleepy... nice n nutty! I only drink coffee for taste and not for the effect of caffeine, I can choose to go without some days and it doesn't affect me.
iVlogBuzz I love the smell as well with some fresh baked bread.
If you prefer the taste you can drink decaf.
Maybe decaf
Another great video Thomas! Thanks again for all your great content! A topic I would like to hear is CBD oil and what the data is showing about recovery with exercise!
He has videos for that on another channel: Octagon Biolabs CBD ruclips.net/channel/UCACXEMD13e0e0hKJmmXlnvQ
Does it truly work on your sleep? And how much of a dosage is needed to actually be effective? Is it just snake oil 🤔
@@CameronAshley thanks for the link! Very helpful! Still looking at something related to athletic performance and recovery though!
Jared Nordstrom joe Rogan uses it and has endless conversations about it you can find
“The Power of When” is an interesting book that talks a lot about chronobiology. It goes into when the optimal time to do things is.
Thomas great video. Though I wonder where did you get the recommendation of having caffeine one hour after waking?
There was study done revealing that Americans are caffeine-addicted and sleep deprived like no other time. I can vouch for that. I used to consume coffee from the moment I woke, to the momemt I went to bed. My sleep scedule and circadian rhythm were so out of whack. For roughly 15 years, I drank very strong Coffee. Developed sleep apnea, heart arrhythmias and insomnia. It was bad. All due to too much coffee. Now, I occasinaly drink 1 maybe 2 cups in the morning. My Cardiologist said I was harming myself by consuming so much caffeine.
It's good to get your morning walk, run or short core workout done almost immediately after waking then sit down and enjoy your Espresso! 👌
I already do this and so happy it’s the right way !!!! I wake up at 6 am , coffee is at 8 am and my 2nd cup is 9 am . I don’t eat breakfast since my HWC is my fat and I’m good till lunch at 1230 !
That’s great!
Caffeine makes me energized and makes me feel happy
When I wake up; I drink 2-3 pint glasses of water, before I drink coffee. I've noticed I also am not as hungry in the morning. This helps when I do my IF.
I do the exact same thing! I train fasted so I use black coffee as my pre-workout. I've noticed some amazing results from doing it this way. Been posting videos about it.
After listening to this guy's videos, now I'm going to think every ripped muscle head I see is actually a scientist that works in laboratories.......
you're coming from ELPRESADOR arent you mrpaupau.
That’s where he gets the 💉💊
Lol you don’t believe he comes up with all this on his own do you?
Perfect timing with this video Thomas. I've been on keto for 12 weeks and since watching your videos, for the last 6 weeks I've increased my coffee to 3 cups a day. During the past 3 weeks I've noticed that my urine is darker than normal, I've had inflammation and muscle aches in my legs and a touch of gout in my right foot. I stopped drinking coffee and within 2 days all the of those issues went away. I'll try 1 coffee a day in the afternoon and see what happens. I have been eating my daily limit of broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. I've also been taking my potassium and magnesium supplements. I feel certain it was fatigue because I was feeling sleepy during the day and the achy muscles. Everything seems spot on again. Maybe that amount of coffee just didn't agree with me.
Wait an hour after waking to have coffee!? You are always pushing me outside my comfort zone... this might be too much though. ;-P
You can do it!
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial You helped me drop 15lbs easier than I could have ever imagined, so I believe you. Love your content.
brush your teeth for half hour and shower for 20 min,and tell yourself in the mirror ;you are beautiful, and BAM,1 hour is past,drink your coffee,hahahaha.
@@jolandawesselinkgijsbers hahahhah
I don’t even drink coffee 3 hours after waking
Thank you for this. I both love coffee and am caffeine sensitive so this was a great help.
How sensitive are you? When i take a cup of coffee i stay awake for 2 days
Glad I could help!
I blend ginger and keep everything in a big jar in fridge.
My first morning is
1cup of ginger +cinnamon +turmeric + honey. Amazing tea😊
First thing when you wake up is just drink as much water as you possibly can!! I usually get up around 8 then fast till 3-4 PM every other day. I have my cup of espresso around Midday for me that is the best time there is absolute no crash later on.....
I do it this way also. I drink water first thing in the a.m. and have my coffee later on as pre-workout. Seen some amazing results doing it this way.
All good info to use.
I had already caught on(from watching someone's videos) to delay coffee in the morning. For me it's the Keto coffee that I desire more for the fat intake vs the need for caffeine however. I've also developed quite the desire/taste for keto coffee. Many times I use keto coffee as a meal replacement though. I have switched to low caffeine in the later hours however.
Sounds good to me
Not complex at all, very simple and integrated answer !!
Thank you!
Wow, that's one big information right there.
you talked about cortisol, I wanted to know what effect does cortisol have on a workout since I workout 10 to 15 mins after waking up and that cortisol is high when we wake up. thanks again for your great scientific based and informative contents.
Great videos Thomas! So much great info its inspired me to start incorparate fitness and nutrition into my channel!
Same here!!!
Everyone should be locked into this channel for cutting edge knowledge about diet/exercise and everything else about the human body!!!
I love how your videos are right to the point and very easy to understand. Thank you 🙏🏼
I work out 5:00 am in the morning, my shot of expresso helps my early morning workouts.
so long for my morning cappuccino in the caffetteria next door! well, I just switch to a more distant one. Thank you for the info, very very thourough and clear. Most tutorials on the topic are confusing, yours is the best!!
Thank you!
If I may be so bold: here is a leading question: if you are getting your proper sleep, why do you need a caffeine stimulant at all? Without the reliance on carbs, there shouldn't be a post meal sugar crash, either. Again, no stimulant needed.
I like coffee for the taste only, and for sitting around visiting or watching RUclips videos :D I honestly do not crave the caffeine and cannot detect its effect from coffee. From coca-cola, yeah I get the jitters, but not from coffee.
You could drink it for the ancillary benefits
The hack is too drink it right before you wake up. :)
Geo Gil 😂🙈sleep IV! Set it on a timer ⏲
I use an Arduino powered IV contraption for this specific purpose
@Thomas DeLauer
re: caffeine with lunch: Not to mention the added negative of binding of ferrous iron with polyphenols
So glad I found this video. I LOVE my coffee. I have been trying to wait until noon to have any, so that I can stick to at most a 12 hour feeding window. I work until 10:30 at night so I'm eating dinner about midnight. I'm finally fat adapted and use HWC in my coffee. Thanks for the info, just more reasons to stick with waiting to have it.
Ow man when I directly drink coffee after getting up it's a 50/50 chance to have a trainwreck of a day. I can be very prone to anxiety / frustration. When I can delay caffeine intake to at least an hour after an hour my day works out waaaaaay better. It's really profound the difference.
Could you do a video on the very popular energy drink “Bang”? Good? Bad? Benefits? Side effects?
I'd say bad because of the sucralose at least, I know studies suggest it's safe but they can miss things or be biased. People forget science never changes, only our perception and understanding of it does, studies aren't science they're just part of the scientific process and can be flawed, even on purpose by corrupt people.
I think it's very possible that it can trick gut bacteria into thinking it's sugar so it feeds on it, and then they die. It can even trick you and cause an insulin response. I don't trust that and other things in energy drinks like Bang.
Everyone I know on keto drinks those. I drink them cause I have issues with coffee but would like to know more info. Have yet to be kicked out of ketosis drinking them.
Relative to the circadian rhythm of the body, cortisol peaks when you wake and goes down around 10am. drink at 10am
What time does that assume you wake up?
Thomas your a good man, keep it up your a champion. This is one of the best times in my life waking up. I love making coffee. I have noticed this, when i drink the pink salt in water. I am ready to roll and head out, full of energy and go for a walk. Mercola recommends stopping caffeine at 2pm.
Thanks, man!
Thanks for your response Sean
I generally get up, take a shower, get dressed, let my dog out, prepare my lunch for the day, feed my dog, and then slam a shot of black cold brew and head out the door. Allows an me an hour after I wake up before coffee, I have a strong enough dose to wake me up, I don't feel jittery anymore (if that's an issue for you but you love coffee), and I don't have to omit my morning coffee just because I want to fast and can't have the tasty morning heavy cream coffee.
Smart and healthy taking your advice on caffeine and see if it works💪!
Coffee makes me sleepy. And another weird thing about me, I don't have any fight or flight response. Things blow up or crash around me, I rarely even flinch.
I only have one cup of coffee or herbal tea daily and I am good for the rest of the day. Great info Thomas Thank you. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yes please more on chrono pharmacology!!! I think the science of all this helps me stay motivated....
Dude I hate to be a pusher but I've been craving ice water upon waking before my coffee lately. I usually consume it after my last meal of the day, sometime in the night with 3drops of peppermint oil, but now I'm digging a small glass before breakfast with 1drop of peppermint oil. Idk it just makes sense in a primitive Nordic way. Where would a rugged primal Nordic man such as myself get his morning drink in the wild? Well that pristine Glacial run off of course, full of life giving microbes of Jesus to make a Northman hardy & robust. After a good warm nights sleep it's good to the rested innards & entrails to cool off from this digestive steep. Cool, crisp & refreshing!
Fair point
Big fan! FYI-I've been researching for a sweetener for coffee. My research found that 0 calories can have up to 4 carbs per serving without showing it on the label. Many sweeteners are sneaking in vegetable sweeteners (fructose) and calling it "all natural". The liquid sweeteners usually have 11% alcohol in them which is 22 proof (wine is 10-12) and 4 carbs.
I have it about 3 to 3 and half hours after waking up and one is just enough.
That’s all you need!
I love your videos about coffee !! Thank you Thomas. But what if i always do my workouts at early mornings all the time? I never have a breakfast so i've got a 10-15 min before my workout. Should i wait for an hour? I like to do pre-workout coffee :(
Question on Supplement Timing: When doing keto and intermittent fasting, I've been taking many supplements (Mg, Fish Oil, Krill Oil, Vit C, Vit, E, B-12, D3, Co-Q10, Turmeric, etc) all at once, upon breaking the fast post-workout ... thinking that the body may be more sensitive to these at that time and make better use of them. Is it perhaps better to space these out, say, over a 6-hr. feeding window? Your thoughts/recommendation?
I do just like you. After my workout and at breaking my fast. I think I'll stick to that.
I’d split them up
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial Ok, just because you said so. Lol.Thank you.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial But within the feeding window only, as to not break the fast, right?
Thomas DeLauer just wondering if there is a specific order to split them up arms take them thru the am then?
Thank you for the info! I have my caffeine about 2-3 hrs after I wake up, and after my workout. I feel I enjoy it better once I’m fully awake and I try not to use it to wake me up. I’m a 911 dispatcher and sadly my entire team is dependent on coffee and energy drinks. Hopefully this info will help one of them.
Please can you review decaf processing and any impact on health. Plus decaf vs regular
Cool! I have been doing the hour after I wake up for a while now, all because I take Vitamin C the minute I wake up (on an empty stomach), and I just instinctively know that I want at least an hour to pass after I have taken it before having Coffee. Now I see I am getting a double benefit! Cool!
What is the benefit of vitamin C immediately after waking?
@@robertcronin6603 Vitamin C is water soluble. So it is best absorbed on an empty stomach when you are well hydrated. Get a couple of good pees in the morning, and then drink a couple of glasses of water down, and take it then, but most importantly - Vitamin C competes with Glucose to enter in to the same cell receptor (called GLUT 1). In the presence of both - the cell will always take the sugar over the C, and you basically just wasted your dose and will urinate it out. Your blood sugar levels are usually lowest first thing in the morning, so that is why I take it then (before I have had anything to eat and especially before having any kind of sugar). Then one hour after I have taken it I have my coffee for the day (3 cups with butter and coconut oil).
Two birds!
@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy thanks!
@@robertcronin6603 You are most welcome, but I learned everything I just shared with you there from Thomas. The thanks goes to him! :)
VERRRRY interested in more info on chronopharmacology-its surprising there is such little awareness about this subject, I really appreciate you giving into the science of it!!
Really interesting and well worth trying out, I gave this a shot and it definitely made the coffee work better for me
Hi Mr DeLauer, Any chance you can do a video on the anti-inflammatory Serrapeptase? It is an enzyme supplement from the silk work that has been found to, allegedly, help with inflammation and scar tissue, among other things. I respect & trust your research and presentation and hope you can share your knowledge of how Serrapeptase can benefit those dealing with heart disease, inflammation, arthritis, and how the supplement can eat away dead tissue but leave the alive tissue in humans. Thank you for your time and consideration. Keep up the amazing work!
That sounds like an interesting topic
Check out the Wim Hoff Method for the exact benefits.
Tim Webber Do you have a link for a good quality product?
I’ve been taking a 250,000 iu capsule of serrapeptase each morning for about a year now. I’ve noticed some anti-inflammatory benefits in my joints. The greatest benefit is with allergies. I’ve been able to eliminate any allergy medications. I feel that is a great benefit.
Hi @@lauraannflynn7701 - (sorry, YT never showed I had replies to this post) I researched like crazy and finally ended up buying Biomedic Labs RX 80,000 SU, 180 capsules (each 80K SU) for about $30.00 on Amazon. My concern was I wanted made in USA, but it was hard to determine if anything was sourced (Where components to make the supplement come from) from China. I try to avoid anything from China. I finally went with Biomedic Labs from Chino, CA.
How can you time exactly when your mid-day cortisol spike is? You mentioned lunch, does it correlate with when you eat? If so, do you still have a spike if you're fasting?
Kyle Cross Good question- and what if I have my coffee before I eat?
Yeah. Good question ☝🏼
@@lauraannflynn7701 We all here how Cortisol makes belly fat so how to have this naturally in the morning yet still lose the stubborn fat from extra cortisol levels
I honestly don't think you can. Seems like it only adds stress to worry about it. I have black coffee as my pre-work (I train fasted) and it's done wonders for my body fat. I never worry about cortisol levels and such 🤷♂️. Been posting vids about it 👍
You're going to have a spike of cortisol regardless when you wake up
Thank u for sharing this video
I have it within 5 to 10 mins after waking , I get no crash and have just that one cup. There has been studies also about people who have the caffeine gene and they are much less effected by caffeine intake
Ok But! If our cortisol levels rise that is what turns our belly fat...So what does a person do to keep the cortisol levels lower to lose the belly fat?? Please answer this Question it's very important to all belly fat persons.
So i wake up! I do some meditation to kick start para-sympathic nervous system! Then I'll have my coffe ☺
I have watched almost all of your videos and have incorporated a lot of the info you have shared into my keto diet. But you have had different videos about when to eat what to get the most benefit. For example what to eat when you break a fast or the meal before your fast. Would you make a 24 hour eating cycle video where you explain the best time to eat each item and why. Explain the best time and way to break your fast, when you have caffeine, how to eat during your eating window and what to eat before starting your fast.
I wake up at 5 and go to workout at 6. Is it okay if I consume it just before workout? Or shall I wake up a bit earlier and then consume it. By the way.. I am loving your videos. I am hell bound to change myself this time for Good and lose weight and gain muscles.
I watch at least one of his videos everyday.... For mental back-up, lol
I do coffee enemas each morning and get all the benefits, but no downsides.
Very informative video. Watching this while drinking my morning coffee.
Did you wait an hour?
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial - Yes I did.
THANK YOU THOMAS
YOU’RE WELCOME!!!
Wow, thank you so much. This gave me all of the information I need to be mindful of my caffeine intake. You have a wonderful channel here.
What if you workout upon waking and you want to take the energy from the fasting workout drink (which includes coffee as the base) that mentioned in a different video? Thank you, Thomas.
I dont follow keto or IM, but i still learn new info to add to the arsenal and apply to my lifestyle. Anyway keep up the great work.
Will do!
I generally drink coffee up until about 2 hours before I go to bed and don't seem to notice any negative affects, but perhaps I will try this and see if I sleep any better - people are commenting positively.
Astonishing subject matter!!!
I'm 67, been drinking coffee for 50 years. I have a cup, only one cup in the morning. Never experienced the need for more and more to get me going
Kudos to those who participated in the study. They have more discipline than I.
Good one! I always suspected.
I have black coffee first thing in the morning before I workout and do not have time to wait an hour since I have to be at work early. What do you suggest to be a good decaffeinated preworkout for energy?
Thanks for these tips.
Wake up an hr earlier
What about If u workout in the morning and u want the
caffeine for fat lose during your workout?
Just wait an hour
You are on both right it works better after a couple of hrs from waking up and it is not practical when you have to rush to work
I started adding some organic matcha green tea to my pre-workout morning black coffee. Tastes a bit strange but I like the effects.
I have a cup in the morning after breakfast. I usually don't have anymore after that. Rarely I'll get a 2nd cup after Lunch.
Exactly what I’ve been doing for quite a while now. Excellent video.
Had to throw in a couple shirtless bicep shots at the end there didn't you Thomas LOL.
I didn't watch the whole video but generally if you eat something with your coffee it neutralizes the anxiety and jitters. I still drink decaf.
Oh, and of course timing is key. Would love to see more on timing as well.
Love all your videos so much great info. I know you recently posted a video on prolonged fasting which was great, but I really love if you can post a video on Alternate day fasting, which is the regimen I'm currently on. Thank you. Much appreciated.
Intermittent fasting?
What about caffeine free coffee......I love my coffee as soon as I wake up.
Basdai Premchandsingh well I’d presume it’s alright since there’s little to no caffeine to be able to impact your cortisol levels
Never too soon !
Love your Farm Eat Local there to the side, I am Blessed to be able to do that up here in the farm belt of California. We have 5 Health Food stores in our town and 4 are local and then a Whole Foods. We also have a Trader Joes. Thank you so much you have helped me tremendously!
That fasting drink you talked about in another video:
Water
Apple cider vinegar
Sea salt
Cream of tartar
(Lime juice)
We know that a lime contains calories, but what about apple cider vinegar. That contains calories too, how do you expect us to remain in a fasted state then?
Just do it with cream of tartar and sea salt if you're worried about it
It’s so minimal that it won’t hurt
Thomas DeLauer AWESOME. Thanks boss!
I drink a Cup of macha tea with a stick of organic cinnamon one hour after awakening. I do not drink coffee until 2pm with heavy whipping cream at 2pm to not break my fast.
Any thoughts?
As soon as I have caffeine my stomach hurts, so I don’t use much of that drug. I think one size up on that t shirt would be good too.
Thanks for the video! I too would like to know if the increased cortisol at midday is a timing thing, or is it because you eat lunch? I drink 16 oz of water when I wake up, and about 30 min after waking I work out, then 30 min after that I have my BPC. I drink it black after that, but would like to know what it is that triggers the midday cortisol increase as most days our big meal is midday. TY!
