Delaying caffeine is not to allow build up of adenosine, as you wrongly said in the intro. It's to allow the leftover adenosine from sleep to fade before caffeine comes in to bind to their receptors.
Coffee is a morning ritual for me and I'll start brewing it shortly after waking and then I'll sit with my wife and watch the sunrise. This is the most important part of my day. I can't afford to skip it.
decaf? Lol
And NO reason to miss it !!!
Its great for poo 💩 too, I want to go instantly once I drank it
@MasterofPlay7 Simply drinking water, hot water with lemon or a (non-caffeinated) tea is just as good.
@@beedebawng2556 no it doesn't have that pooping effect 💩
I was feeling consistently anxious. I thought I would give coffee a break just to see. It was quite miraculous, I felt calmer, slept better and lost 10lb! That was 5 months ago.
i also get anxious from cafeine
Unfortunately some people have that problem with coffee.
@@Gengh13 In my opinion it's more of a blessing, nobody should be drinking that willingly.
Coffee without sugar and milk, just coffee?
@@wichordzmtythat is my question too.
It seems like people are splitting hairs about all things nutrition.....of course if that amuses you then by all means, but the primary fast tracks to good health, IMO, are stress management and not eating highly processed junk. Things like coffee or no coffee, cold showers/ive baths, mediation, semen retention and so on seem to be highly individual....try them and continue if they work, or don't. You do you. Good video.
Well said
👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Its why i have largely stopped watching these videos. I know what works for me, and that is enough.
Yes!
That's why I edge my morning wood for 90 minutes after waking up before having my first cup of coffee.
I used to drink pre-workouts all the time. 200+ mg of caffeine in the morning. I'd be so tired and crash in the afternoon and need another little dose. After our son was born it caught up with me with the worse sleep. I would wake up and take my pre-workouts and not notice a difference. I wasn't dreaming either as I wasn't getting deep sleep.
Weaned off caffeine and sleep and energy greatly improved.
Went almost half a year caffeine free but then our son began teething and sleep really suffered. I've settled on 100mg caffeine capsules. I take them with LMNT for electrolytes and that seems to work really well for me on top of intermittent fasting. Getting deep sleep now, dreaming, and when I get a good night's sleep I feel refreshed (still hit and miss with the little one who is almost 17 months). I'm definitely a slow metabolizer of caffeine.
Hoping to go caffeine free again soon for a bit and cycle on and off long term.
To the one who said coffee was their go to migraine cure. Headache is a symptom of coffee withdrawal
headaches and migraines are not the same thing lol
@@TheBeastKane I know, but people conflate the two, and the symptom can be migraine like. Anyway, it's related to blood vessels contracting due to caffeine, and then expanding due to lack of it.
@@jussi3378some people have migraines from vasodilation, others from vasoconstriction. That's why caffeine works on the vasodilation type but can cause vasoconstriction in others
I used to not drink coffee on a daily basis. I only drank coffee when I had a migraine coming on, and it was like the best form of medicine if I didn't have amy panadol or ibuprofen on hand.
Coffee withdrawal is not the same as chronic migraines, and for those who suffer from migraines - we know the difference.
It can do both at the same time.
I had migraines, the real ones 3 days in bed in the dark no smells no noise no food nausea, for years. I wasn't a coffee drinker, didn't like the taste much.
The anti migraine meds are pretty bad for the health so I was trying to find a way to use them less often, I was given a pill with paracetamol and caffeine and if taken at the very early stages of the migraine it worked 80% of the time.
However paractemol is also pretty harsh on the liver and I had a time in my life when migraines were almost 1 per week. So to void too much paracetamol my doctor advised trying coffee.
It works pretty well. As long as I drink 2 cups a day, one in the morning one in the evening I have way less migraines and sometimes just an added coffee if the migraine seems to be coming is enough to strop it.
However if I don't drink my 2 cups I'll immediately get a headache. Not a migraine but a simple headache.
Issue being that when you are someone who gets migraines many times headaches become migraines. It depends of stress levels, what time of the month it is (I'm a woman obviously :) ) how well I slept for example. So I'm condemned to drinking the coffee to avoid the withdrawal headaches but I can confirm that regular caffeine intake reduces greatly the number of migraines I have.
Perth, Western Australia, I love my coffee in the morning! I'm glad it's not all bad news concerning the science of caffeine.
Andrew Huberman talks about waiting 90 minutes or three hours as well with ingesting caffeine as you wake up. I did that for a while and just couldn’t stand it. So I wake up immediately have one cup of coffee and then I run 5 miles and everything is fine.
And I nevr drink any coffee and vreything is fine.
You are dependent, by excess numbers of adenosine receptors that your neurons grew to _counteract_ your caffeine consumption as much as it can.
That dude gives the most generic advice.
Did that for a long time as well when I was drinking caffeine daily. I didn't mind and it did subjectively help me compared to drinking straight away, but might've been placebo for all I know.
Sounds like addiction
Italian American Expat living in Bangkok ❤ loving my Espresso in the morning!!!
Unfiltered coffee carries risks that filtered coffee does not. Look into it.
Studies suggest espresso and other unfiltered coffee can raise serum cholesterol. However espresso is delicious, I roast my own beans at home and we all will die of something.
@@acf894 I love espresso as well. It is my favorite form of coffee. I say, go for it, but just be informed. I don’t pay too much attention to all the research in general, though, because it is constantly changing.
Coffee is the only reason why I get out of bed in the morning. Best part of the day.
Sounds like addiction.
More like, sad.
Yeah, sad you took my post seriously. 😆
I wake up each morning and have a decaf coffee and then a couple hours later have a proper coffee. I honestly believe this has been a huge difference in how I feel later on in the day. I've tried and tested this a few times and if I have a proper coffee as soon as I wake I get horrid fatigue around 2-3 o'clock.
I genuinely believe the cortisol spike theory. This may just be me though.
It's worth testing this though.
Honestly, no matter what any health influencer or study say, you need to experiment to find what works for you and that can change in the future as well 👍.
@@jonthompson1068 Absolutely. I can honestly say that I feel MUCH more energy if I don't consume caffeine for those first couple hours. I love coffee so Decaf satisfys that coffee urge. I've experimented 3 times with this coffee/decaf setup and the difference to me is huge.
Huge question. Do you eat carbs at lunch? Most Americans I know get the same 2pm lag and they ALL eat way more carbohydrate heavy than they should and crash midday. I eat clean keto, drink coffee first thing every day. 47 year old martial arts teacher and I always run circles around those who do not know how to eat properly. Bad choices in food have a terrible mid afternoon crash, from my 22 years training people for a living.
So do i. I've experimented several times, i have much stable energy throughout the day,if i take a coffee after 90mim wake up.
I have noticed my hunger signals really started getting thrown off the more I had used and abused caffeine, and this led me to getting uncontrollable, cravings and gaining weight. I also noticed extreme mood swings from the caffeine and incredible cravings, and not being able to workout well without it.
So informative. Always good to remind your subscribers/viewers that we are not a one-size-fits-all 🙏 Obrigada, from Portugal ❤😊
All I know is when I have coffee first thing, I feel great, but don’t sleep as well and have an easier time getting stressed. Having breakfast, then or with coffee seems to be the best combo, but everybody needs to find what works for them
I just limit my caffeine intake to twice per week on non consecutive days to avoid tolerance build up. I really enjoy it more on those two days. My sleep quality has improved as well.
Sleep quality? What's that?
Twice per week??
Oh yea, when I do that it’s surprisingly euphoric… feels like an endorphin hit.
This is potentially a breakthrough and might work - all the addicts here will hate you tho lol@@FreedomFox1
I usually drink coffee early morning after wake up. and I agree...
It's better drink coffee as early as possible before bed. I think.
Full pot every morning
🥰
A part of a healthy breakfast
Good luck with that
I’m injecting it uhhhhhhhhh I feel GR8
First thing in the morning.... Before I open my eyes
Coffee is a strong life effecting drug! I quit recently, you become a different person!
Indeed!!! I agree with you 100%. When you quit coffee, did you notice that when you woke up in the morning, you didn't feel tired?
I was always going to ignore this advice but thanks for making me feel extra good about it
Love your channel mike Keep the good info coming
I saw a study that said seniors with the most longevity drink one cup of coffee per day.
I'm so tired of influencers making people feel guilty for drinking caffeine in the morning. It's ridiculous. Ty for sharing this.
First thing upon rising is 1 liter of warm lemon ginger water, then 2 cups of black coffee followed by a Snus portion and I’m hitting the shitter hard in the mornings. I then fast till my first meal at 3 pm and feel incredibly light and alert. My fasting insulin is 4. HA1C 4.9, fasting glucuous 88.
I just can not consume coffee or any other highly caffeinated products without feeling jittery, wired and anxious. I don’t like it. Tea seems good for me though!
Thank you for this🙌
Coffee is very healthy. Protects the liver and provides energy and focus too. I drink about 2L a day lol
how about adrenal glands
@@nimimerkillinen no known issues with coffee and adrenal function. Zero concern. The health benefits of coffee are really good and the boost to energy and focus is an added bonus.
@@thepatternforms859 okay. maybe we all are different and I like coffee but if I drink more than 1 day in a ros even moderately my stress levels rise, harder to rest, less ability to complex understanding of things, more anxiety, less sleep, less compassion, more irritability so at least subjectively those are problematic for me (and many others it seems) seems like most of coffee benefits can be gotten from decaf (has some caffeine still) so thats good
I need more reasons to break this last addiction. Sugar took forever. Struggled to break it on keto from 2018 thru 2022. Carnivore flipped a switch for me, and I never even have cravings anymore.
I crave a morning "cup" (big ass mug).
Howdy, am carnivore for 10 mos. Haven't been able to kick the suger cravings yet. Any tips?
@@dianejones4276 I don't really know what did it for me, I was fat adapted from the keto before I went carnivore. It did take me over half a year of only fatty meats, eggs, butter, and fatty fish; mostly beef, eggs, and sardines, to stop getting cravings. Even heavy cream would trigger me sometimes.
I mean if you have that level of self control you can prob just fight thru long enough to kick it. Otherwise I would say dilute with hot water little by little? Or replace with strong dark tea like dandelion? To replace the soothing habit not just eliminate it
@@dentside78 Thank you for replying. I forgot about the sardines.
It took me about 3-weeks to kick the sugar withdrawal symptoms and short term “depressed” attitude.
It took me over 10 days to get over the withdrawal symptoms of caffeine. I will say this, it dehydrates me out greatly, and I have to piss all the time when I drink it. For me personally, I am very sensitive to caffeine and I am more energetic off of it. The caffeine is what I always fall into if I need a cheat. Then I get hooked again. My girlfriend and I broke up in December and I am now finally in late March got off of caffeine again.
From Trinidad and Tobago, enjoying the content.
Love your content! Watching from Vancouver, Canada
Love all your content! Couldnt catch live
Always great information Mike, thank you! It seems the older I get the more caffeine affects my sleep. I used to be able to have a late afternoon cup with no issues. Now my last cup can’t be after 10am.
Good video Mike, as always.
If I remember right they say it takes about 30 minutes for caffeine to kick in so that first sip of coffee is technically a placebo effect, and if you just have a glass or two of water when you wake up you might not even think about caffeine after a while but as long as you cut it off 7 hours before bed, you can get your circadian clock back aligned
I’ve had drinks expecting them to be caffeinated and they weren’t and I could tell immediately.
And vice versa actually. I was given some caffeinated electrolyte powder I didn’t know was caffeinated and I knew I felt different within minutes.
might be the strong taste giving the brain that response of "awakeness", or maybe the familiarity of doing that coffee-drinking habit daily makes it so your brain recognizes the taste and already gets prepared to process it. not sure tho, just throwing theories at the wall to see what sticks, could also just be placebo as you said.
2 cups of coffee 7 hours before bed has the same effect as 1 cup of coffee just before going to bed. That's how the half life time works
Yea I can vouch that that doesn't work, lol. A drink of water does not have the same effect as a drink of coffee. I've tried it many times.
I trust everything you share. Thank you!
Howdy from Sacramento, CA looking forward to this episode
Whatever, I wasn't going to drink or not drink my tea due to what people claimed.
Wow. Truth.
I was hooked on coffee first thing when i woke up for a long time. I have a toddler that always wakes up before we're ready lol. After a while i started feeling like i couldnt destress and didnt know why. I knew my life wasnt that bad. I read a book by sara gottfried talking about caffiene and how its bad for you. I have it up, and within 2 weeks i felt better. Then i found out i was very anemic, got some iron back in me, now i don't feel stressed at all.
That's great news. Now I can fully enjoy this cup
Love the stubble Mike! Suits you 👌 💪
Always find your videos valuable, though I don’t comment often 🙏
Good Morning from Springfield Mo.

Interesting video, watching from Czech Republic ✌️
Mike, could you discuss the caffeine content in kombucha and whether it's ok to drink it in the evening? I love a cup of home made bucha after dinner. It makes my digestion system feel really great!
I always miss your livestreams now, but just know it’s because I’m working out
Caffeine raises my BP too much, had to give it up
Hi Mike, what do u think of putting grass fed creamer or butter powder to espresso ? Thanks. ( Jopy, Indonesia)
Rotate between espresso and cappuccino every am, about 30 min after waking . Love the morning ritual w the first rays of sunshine
Something that wasn’t quite addressed is the extent to which coffee predisposes one to hyponatremia. Or, particularly increases excretion of electrolytes. Is this common?
The coffee delay makes completes sense to me, hear me out. Assuming there is still some adenosine left in the body in the morning, and caffeine connects to the same receptors in the CNS, wouldn't there be more receptors available for the caffeine to connect to when you first clear out the remaining adenosine after sleeping? Hence first clearing the adenosine out in the first 90 minutes of the day by moving the body, viewing sunlight etc?
Coffee is the most pesticide laden crop in the world which is why I only use organic coffee beans.
Grape vine get a lot of pesticides too (at least 20% of all the pesticides used in my country for less than 3% of cultivated lands) so I'm not sure if coffee is the worst but it may contain a lot of pesticides. A lot of these pesticides are illegal in Europa but largely used in Brazil for example (38,000 tons of pesticides used each year in that country just for coffee) so yes it's better to take organic coffee. But remember caffeine is a pesticide too. 😉
I’ve got down to 1 (actual) cup of my cold brew per day where I was once unlimited before noon!
watch the video at my morning routine on the hometrainer in germany. i only drink coffee as large cup bitween 2 and 5pm. for me, i dont need the morning coffee any more cold shower, breathwork, lots of water, salt and sun are enough. and yesy it was informative, cause i listen to chris willamson podcast yesterday and one of his sponsors is mudwater, and the they talk about the aenosine swystem ist not aktiv in the first 90min after your sleep
Watching from the sauna here!!
I wouldnt say its a myth, ive seen a noticeable change once ive stopped my morning coffee. No longer have an afternoon crash
Could be dependent on other factors. Everybody needs to try it out.
Do the Myoscience electrolyte sticks break a fast? Do they have any carbs or sugar in them?
Didn't watch live, but from Baltimore, Maryland.
My old relatives only drank tea (UK) : no non caffeineated drinks.
They were not dehydrated husks even after 80 years on the regime😂.
VERY interesting note...if my gut biome is on point aka minimal carbs (keto/meat based) and I'm doing my kefir most days...I can do caffeine even later in the evening and sleep fine. If I'm adding more carbs and not doing my kefir and ACV tonics then I have issues sleeping if I take coffee past around 2pm
Lol it's honestly the opposite for me, the more dairy, fruit and rye bread I have the more I seem to tolerate higher amounts of coffee.
Well that's another thing Huberman fooled me on
His father was part of the Edge foundation, which has ties to Jeffrey E.
Makes Andrew's fame from nowhere a little more understandable, IMO
Neuroscientists man
@@NoahSteckley Don't put anyone on a pedestal

@@VisionCapitalist🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
heck yes, fantastic video dude! Damn man I remember when you first started your channel and were focused on keto YEARS ago man, good work. Anyways I tend to lose weight when I drop caffeine. I actually feel less hungry off of it because I don't stress eat and actually feel in my body and feel my real hunger cues.... also getting better sleep and lowered stress hormones is huge for recovery, fat loss and mental health in general..... honestly caffeine in anything over 100mg doesn't do anything but make me angry, neurotic, impulsive and worried. It wrecks my sleep later on too where I need to take all these supplements, herbs or tablets just to sleep..... and that creates its own set of problems....... caffeine is probably best used for a race, or on a competition day.... never on a rest day never consecutive days.... no more than 2X a week at under 100mg
city of Kyiv, Ukraine. 250-300 ml of coffee every morning. I often add coconut oil and chocolate with 90+% cocoa butter. I was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease 7 years ago (now I am 51 years old). The condition worsened. 3 years ago, I switched to an intermittent LCHF diet (there I met "bulletproof coffee"). I periodically perform steatometry of the liver. Ultrasound and liver enzyme studies are close to the indicators of a healthy me, only at the age of 30 (I did the research then). There are no problems with falling asleep and waking up. My wife sometimes drinks 100 ml of coffee in the evening, and then she cannot sleep properly and in the morning she already feels tired. I have heard about decalcification of bones, but I monitor the level of 25-OH D3 in the blood (170-200 mmol/l I maintain through nutritional supplements) and all electrolytes. I have no problems with this. So I consider coffee to be a wonderful substance for me. The main thing is to understand when to use it and find the right amount.
Kyiv? Arent you guys in a war? Why are you on youtube sharing coffee diet tips? Get to a bunker. Or are you a woman?
why you have to put ukraine in to this? oh because this happenes in ukraine its something special or what?
Mike I am also gradually getting gray hairs in the exact same spots as you. I just turned 40 this year, what are we going to do about it? Please discuss on ways to slow or combat gray hair for men. Thanks Mike!
There are lots of good looking men with various degrees of gray hair… some women find it attractive… i’ve also seen some pretty stunning women with some gray hair that seem to add to their mystique… JMO 🤔
Copper deficiency can lead to early (or earlier) greying.
I think I have better energy through the day if I delay intake but I’ve admittedly struggled to be consistent. I’m very determined to get my first hit in the morning.
From Danmark, Great content! 🤟
I recommend the channel 2 Fit Docs. They poke their fingers. It is a good case study on why some have to work much harder to not put on fat, and lose it. They showed how 1 person's insulin went up and ketones went down with zero calorie sugar free cream, and the other didn't. But have ketones go up with black coffee.
I'm about to not need a sauna with summertime approaching 😂
Greetings from sunny (& steamy) Florida
Hey Mike, is drinking electrolytes daily ok if not working out. I'm a nurse and most shifts I usually can't hydrate
Just diagnosed as pre diabetic so no sugar or sweet tasting additives. Coffee now
a no go (can't stand black coffee) . Switched to a caffeine pill in the AM. Gone to carnivore + ADF.
I don't care about caffeine.
I do love coffee though, so it's decaf for me, here in Bavaria.
Genau.
Same here. Drink water-decaffinated all through the day.
@@sarahrosen4985 James Hoffmann has said that we decaf drinkers are the true coffee lovers! (If you don't know his channel, check it out, but please don't curse me if you binge watch. 🙂)
The problem for many, including myself, is increased tolerance/addiction to caffeine. It can boomerang on you and make you tired after high tolerance is engrained.
I remember watching a show based around wellness, both body and mind, and the guy smugly talked down about people who drink coffee first thing in the morning. They fully believed in specialized knowledge they thought was optimizing their life. I personally tried caffeine delay and didn't feel any difference.
Watching from London.👍😊
I used to have 3-4 cups of coffee a day but as I hit my 40s it was impacting my blood pressure. I only have one cup of coffee a day before 1:00 PM. I try to substitute my coffee every other day with a ceremonial premium grade green tea or tumeric-ginger tea. I also did a DNA test that showed I am sensitive to caffeine as my body takes longer to breakdown caffeine.
Hot Springs, SD. LOVE coffee 1st thing in a.m.
Mike did not answer the question. If I have high cortisol should I avoid caffeine? Coffee?M

Who ever has been in high level sports know the magic caffein has. It is a legal drug that assists.
The direct effects on strength, power, speed, endurance etc are perhaps debatable - what is not debatable is the mental drive and enthusiasm it provides.
This effects performance in a major way.
What are the effects of the Natural MAOI inhibitors (Harmine, Harman, and Norharman) that are found in Coffee? As someone who suffers from chronic depression I've found that 3 or 4 cups of Coffee every morning is the best Antidepressant I've ever used. It is more efficient than any Pharmasudical I was ever prescribed.
Delayed caffeine for 90 mins has been the best thing ive done. It makes it enjoyable and beneficial as a supplement rather than the only energy source.
also gives time to process things more fully
Definitely after listening to a doctor about 2 years ago talking about adenosine and circadian rhythms, I allow myself 90 minutes or possibly two full hours before my 1-2 cups of coffee and I feel great and love it
100%. It completely eradicated the afternoon crash AND the need to have coffee in the afternoon. Now a cup in the morning is all I need to keep me going all day and in the evening I get tired to the point that I fall asleep within minutes.
Living in Dubai and getting my 2 flat whites per day.. keeps me focused all day
I'm listening to you from Bowdoin, Maine.
I would never be a carnivore if I had to give up my coffee.
🙂
Really wow no adenosine blocking?? Cause that was what a few accredited ppl in health and fitness were saying. So this is to be considered the Gold Standard this study,forget what Gary Brecka said and others?
The issue I had with coffee first thing in the morning is that it naturally suppressed my appetite... I was so hooked on the feeling it gave me, food didn't seem necessary.
So I would have a couple snacks throughout the day but eventually I could barely tolerate a full dinner. Apparently my metabolism & digestion had both suffered through downregulation, and years later my appetite is still weak, so yeah, do not recommend lol
Greetings from Perth...I have cawfee with egg yolk n butter at 5am. I can have it at 8pm n still sleep like a baby. I have 2 to 3 a day😊
I enjoy drinking coffee and it helps me get tons of liquid in me for hydration. So every morning I make 1/5th caff coffee. Of the 12 cup pot of coffee only 3 of them are caffeinated the rest are decaf.
I gave up coffee a month and a half ago. I am so much calmer and sleep so much better. I started drinking decaf but didn’t like it. No cream no caffeine, cortisol or no cortisol, i feel amazing🎉
I wanna quit too i know it will help me 😔
Why is Whey Concentrate better than Isolate?
I figure that avoiding caffeine is probably the most optimal, especially if it is consumed with sugar or artificial flavors.
Hello. Are there any serious, well-made and executed studies, that have studied and measured caffeine/coffee impact on sleep and sleep stages ( quality and quantity of sleep ) in people? I'm curious as to how much better sleep would one get without coffee, and if there are individuals that are not affected by it ( has to be measured somehow to be proven useful )?
Smart devices like wrist watches, rings, etc. do track and measure sleep, and although not accurate, they do show ( at least for me ) that each time I consume coffee, deep sleep and REM decrease drastically. I have been using these devices for some years, and again, they are not 100% accurate and I do not trust their measurements 100%, but they do register and measure differences ( and different results from my baseline ), every time, whenever: I drink coffee or any other caffeine based drinks, whenever I consumed alcohol ( don't drink anymore ), whenever I ate too much cake, sweets, chocolate, whether homemade or store bought, whenever I ate too much, too close to bedtime.
When I don't regularly consume coffee ( and I also avoid the stuff mentioned above, albeit not always combined ), I get better sleep measurements and I do rest better, things that are evident in how I feel, how I perform when running, biking, also things like lower resting heart rate during sleep, during the next day, lower heart rate peaks, etc.
Cheers!
Hello ! I have my coffee right after I finished my breakfast! Before, I would Feel so sick but not after eating! Why? Thank you! From FRANCE ! 🙋♀️
i gotta say though, from a weight loss perspective, as I am currently cutting weight, If i can wake up and gym without caffeine, takes a while to warm up sure, but you do get used to it and then if i save my caffeine to about 1130 post my gym meal, I find it incredibly easy to not over consume for the rest of the day. If I have it pre workout and then train and eat, I find it a little more difficult
coffee provokes anxiety.
i switched to tea with milk (no sugar, obviously) in the morning, much better now
I have 2 cups a day 1 in morning and 1 after dinner around 6-630. It doesnt bother me what soever when i go to sleep at midnight. Its just i have most of my energy in the evening. Ive been like that my whole life. I could only sleep 5-6 hours drag and be tired all day then automatically around 6-8pm i get this burst of energy and thats when i best perform so thats when i go to the gym at 730pm. I can't explain it.
Sounds like that's your natural circadian rhythm your probably better of working second shift work
I get the midday crash with caffeine or no caffeine (if taken in the morning), and my main belief of the midday crash I do get seems to correlate with how much food I ate for lunch (carb wise). Caffeine in the morning stresses me out during work hours (retail), so I don't need the extra boost on top of my natural energy.
The serotonin from taking the first sip after a hard day's work seem to help me relax. Caffeine taken during the afternoon/evening hours does keep my heart beat high before bed, but I still wake up fully rested for the following work day (I wake up at 5am).
I found it's mostly because work is so damn boring. I eat the same way on days off and don't experience any "afternoon crash" or feel the need for naps.
I remember that, 10mg ephedra with 100mg caffeine and 100mg aspirin before workouts. This was before they made it illegal.
Yes, the ECA stack.
😮😮😮 and you lived to tell about it...
@@sarahrosen4985 late 80s early 90s, before it was made illegal, sports stores had stimulants sold as diet pills. I think one was called thermadrine, guys who do their research just buy the main ingredient for pennies.
All the other stuff was just exotic sounding names for caffeine and blood thinners.
