I’m sad to say this, but ditching the daily coffee habit has done wonders for gut health and energy levels

Damn, been pondering it. But I also only ever have one cup..

I was also one cup, typically I dope mine up with protein, fat, and creatine. I dropped to a half calf bean first, like 35mg per serving which was my first clue that the volume of caffeine itself was an issue. Then a mushroom blend, which was a mediocre substitute then to water and greens. Did that for a couple months

After the detox it’s been mellow to have a decaf or half caf 1-2 days a week

I’d been wondering if there were adverse effects I needed to recognize. I was wondering if it’s more encouraging of being distracted in my mornings as well.

I’d say it’s person to person
I’ve cut it cold turkey and felt I was less productive with my code work. My happy medium is one latte a day in the morning during the week and swap to decaf on weekends

That’s a good one to try out, I still get a chaotic amount of distraction. Cbd seems to help me with that, which was also a recent revelation. Thc alone was too much so tried going 50:50 and that was magical, but I just switched to a 10:1 cbd and that’s been great. For me the biggest change has been gut things

Worth calibrating imo. Even one cup daily negatively affected my sleep negatively

Yeah these are super personal within a range I’d assume. Have you compared lowered caffeine dosage vs no caffeine?

Had a coworker explain this well to me
“People drink coffee when they’re tired to be less tired and that’s wrong. You should use it to amplify your highs and make the most of those highs. Rest and work on less cognitively demanding work when you’re on your lows”

😂 I can appreciate that! Try the reduced caffeine vs no caffeine

I currently dabble with mixing in loose leaf teas during the day. I like them and also has less of a caffeine spike
I’m not all to scientific with the caffeine dosages

I'm sorry but I can't accept this, the cognitive dissonance would be too much

That said, my wife has been off caffeine for almost 2 years for pregnancy and breast feeding..
Instantly happier given the same amount of sleep when she got her daily caffeine back

I did change what time I consume my coffee in the morning because of Hubes :)

Have a minor headache rn because I haven’t had coffee. Withdrawals.

caffeine headaches suck :(

Minor improvement moving it later in the morning
Major improvement being mindful not to have a coffee in the afternoon

When I got Covid a year or two ago, I felt terrible and stopped drinking coffee so I could sleep more. Months later I did a week with no coffee as an experiment and realized many of the symptoms I attributed to Covid were actually somewhat/mostly the coffee withdrawal

I did change to decaf only a few weeks ago, not sure it's boosted my energy though 😅

I've tried several times - haven't been able to get it to stick. Maybe Ozempic can help :)

@joshmiller
I switched to decaf, then to green tea, which I found to be bitter/refreshing enough, plus a more even “high.” Now after about a year, I‘ve found I can have the occasional very nice coffee without the gut/jitteriness issues I had before.
