  • From an early age we are told that coffee gives us energy and helps us be productive.
    But, did you know that it definitely doesn't give us energy and may in fact impair our productivity?
    In this episode Patrick breaks down a little bit of the science of how caffeine affects our body and leads us to stress and anxiety.
    He also offers the three major ways that coffee affected his life negatively and how he finally quit his addiction to it.
    Stress and anxiety are quite often a response to something going on under the surface. And while coffee is very popular, it is in fact a powerful stimulant that acts on our nervous system in ways we might not even be aware of.
    There's no need to always feel irritated, upset, or challenged. If you're ready to honestly look at your caffeine intake and see how it might be ruining your quality of life, this episode has the information and the motivation you need to take the step towards quitting. Listen now!

    This topic is under-discussed and needs to be talked about some more. I recently discovered what was causing my stress and anxiety and always feeling extremely frustrated by any little thing that won't go my way. I used to drink a Venti size Pike Coffee in the morning and sometimes I would switch it up to a Trenta Cold Brew, unknowingly making my anxiety worse and triggering the fight-or-flight response, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels. If you are feeling overly anxious or stressed, consider quitting coffee do it for yourself and your loved ones around you because they suffer too.

    Very helpful talk! About the fasting, I quit caffeine cold turkey 5 weeks ago and what I experience is that fasting is a lot easier now, because caffeine interferes with your bloodsugar levels. So actually fasting with caffeine is not fasting. Also I had the same anxiety, having to do new tasks and meeting new people was terrifying, this is all gone now. Wish I knew this earlier!

    'hypnotized to believe it's good for us.' I'm well into my 2nd month of none, stopped cola also. Sleep didn't improve yet, and mornings are still tough, but I feel so different for better. You are spot on about the ritual, I travel and would have to coordinate around getting a cup, sucked. I didn't have the major headaches when I quit, so I don't think I was addicted, but the fact that I was relying on a drug was enough of the challenge for me to pursue. My digestion is improved. Coffee does affect urine due to diuretic effect, not just liquid, as people think. It would make me urgent soon, and quite a bit thereafter, my pee is also white not, not dark yellow implying dehydrated. I'm also at zero alcohol, aside from all the hypnosis 'that it's good for us.' My blood pressure dropped nicely, it popped up a little, but I'm still fixing other things.

    A Cup of stress. Great shit. What you talk about here is spot on. I have just recently been able to quit and what a difference. Im actually starting to wonder if half of the issues we have today is from the entire world being on a drug that causes stress and high anxiety. We are hooked as a society and i dont think we know how bad it is for us. Also coffee dehydrates you obviously. But most people dont know that if your dehydrated it can affect brain function as well, with can affect your mood.

    Coffee will alter your neurons. For years, as an engineering student and veteran, I consumed caffeine in gum, energy drinks and coffee. At 30 I started getting anxiety/stress attacks that were never a thing before. So I kicked 8 cups of drip brew/day to the curb for a month. I didn’t cold turkey; I replaced drip brew with one espresso a day. I felt so much better, then one day I decided to drink a cup of drip brew. Oh boy! Within minutes, I felt anxious for no reason. I was at the breakfast table with racing thoughts! I stopped drinking coffee for a week and my sleep improved. My mind is a lot quieter and I’m more focused than before. IMO tea, coffee should be enjoyed ceremonially NOT recreationally.

    Thank you for this straight forward and stress focused overview. I have been coffee free for 3 weeks now and am working towards becoming caffeine free slowly and surely. I was so addicted and didnt have a clue. Have been dealing with a totally drained stress response system since 2017 due to C-PTSD and PTSD. Changed my whole lifestyle slowly and surely but for some reason kept caffeine in it. Doing therapy, meditating, living slowly and so healthy but still burning out again and again and not understanding why. I think the hidden problem has been caffeine. Really want to go cold turkey with all caffeine but I know my body will not handle it. I wonder if I will need to take out all caffeine or if it´s enough to have very limited amounts in chocolate and herbal teas that include caffeine.

    Wow I had all exact symptoms you mentioned!
    Here is my story: I’ve tried to quit many many times and failed after I realized what damage to my nervous system coffee brings. So I threw away all bags of beans and replaced with: black tea, matcha and oolong tea. They all contain much less caffeine (50% less or more) but all of them have an aminoacid called L-theanine. So basically this is calming down your mind, you get a mild boost and on top of that brings you antioxidants.
    Im drinking these beverages for 3 months and I have better sleep, Im calmer, less agitated, more focused, I dont have racing thoughts anymore, and I feel like things are under control.
    With coffee it was the complete opposite I was always angry, anxious, racing thoughts, my sleep was more shalow, I was always in fight or flight mood, and had occasional panic attacks
    Try it, you will thank me ❤️

    Well, I had been drinking way too much coffee for a long time. I could finish a pot in a day and supplement with the pre-made cold brewed coffee, which is stronger than how I brew it. I'd drink so much caffeine I'd just feel bad, angry and aggressive all the fucking time. For a couple months now I've cut back to only swiss decaf, so I'll put a couple tablespoons into the pot. The coffee comes out brown, not black, so it's watered down decaf. I usually mix it now with fresh ginger, honey and another non-caffeinated tea like ashwaganda or tulsi or even tumeric, so it's a mildly coffee flavored herbal ginger tea. I have enjoyed this more than getting amped on caffeine. My tolerance has gone down so much that I can STILL feel the caffeine though in my system and I don't even like that small amount, but it's not enough to get my adrenals overclocked.

      yo- after a year basically no caffeine, I have brought back 1/2 cup of coffee a few days a week in the morning. Still nowhere near where I was. The benefits of less stress and better energy haven't been affected by this amount.

    Not sure why you're censoring so much when I'm agreeing with you, but also adding a balanced and necessary perspective. There are pros and cons. If you can't handle such a benign conclusion, turn comments off. But you'll get better responses and have far more reach (aka views, earning potential) if you allow natural discourse to happen. That is what social media is about, no? Or are you not interested in other viewpoints, education, or anything other than your own unmovable convictions? I'll keep posting the comment, there's no reason you should be so fearful of it, and it'd look better if you'd just left the original, benign comment, where I offered additional facts to promote discussion and foster an educational environment, rather than one where I point out that you're relying on censorship and flagging comments that break no rules in hopes that youtube will remove it and/or ban a user for you, for no reason other than your own pride and ego. Now as I was saying:

      To be honest, I have added a small amount of regular coffee back into my life. I have found I can manage any stress better after taking a year off. People may call me a hypocritical here... maybe I will do a follow up episode on this. Life for me has phases of using and not using things.

    • @LrgPicture

      @@BuildaBetterLife I gotcha. It’s not phases of using and not using. It’s addiction. No offense but it’s not surprising you added “some” of the drug back. That’s how it works. I did it in the past too before quitting for good. Caffeine is caffeine in any amount. Dose does not make the poison. Don’t let anyone fool you and don’t fool yourself. I won’t go into too much detail but… it’s a drug.
      A psychoactive neurotoxic drug and a lot of people make RUclips videos not knowing that and just how bad caffeine is. I see it everyday with what I do. Like any other drug you feel “good” because you’re still getting high. I may sound over the top but no more than those people who found out early what cigarettes were doing to people.

    3.5 weeks on from a head throbbing cold turkey I am just beginning to understand how much caffeine had a grip on me.
    Improving sleep and dreams for the first time in many years. 85% of the head fog lifted. Anxiety and fight or flight at the slightest hint of stress. Peeing day and night. These things and many more means cutting out caffeine is more than hype... it really is a life changer.

    Never quit coffee, it gives you energy, if you feel you have too much energy after a cup, go to the zoo and run with a kangaroo. If you do quit coffee at least start drinking a fifth of vodka a day it will make you feel mellow when the bottle is empty. I still drink coffee and an hour later my arms are flying around like a boxer for 5 hours I must be burning calories like a running gazelle and my urine is a bright yellow so i can write love letters in the snow. Good luck!
