if you quit caffeine after couple of weeks you start to feel like a kid again with full of energy every day
exactly brother
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you are feeling well.
It's true. I need to do it again.
I’ve always heard that the reason you’re extra tired when quitting is because your body created more adenosine receptors due to regular caffeine use. Those extra receptors mean your body will be more sensitive to adenosine. After some time, your body prunes the excess receptors and you go back to baseline.
Quit coffee three weeks ago! Replaced with 4 oz of green tea each AM
I feel calmer and more focused since
Glad to hear it, wishing you continued success.
Green tea has caffiene
Still addicted agreed 😂😂@@surferscollective613
i would love to live in a society where no one drank coffee, what a peaceful place it would be
I have thought about that for many years!
Interesting thought, thank you for watching!
Teeccino is delicious! I also love Dandy Blend, a caffeine free instant coffee substitute.
The only liquid we need to drink is water. Anything other than water is gonna cause problems. I had to learn the hard way
Yeh and also the correct water 😂 ...just sayin...have a great day!👍
good video. the idea that your body starts to make new adenosine receptors, thus making your MORE TIRED is something not enough ppl are talking about I think :)
Thank you for watching!
Also this is one of the best videos on caffeine on UA-cam. Thank you!
Thanks Dr. Alan for sharing. I am on day 30 without coffee. Feel better, but still has muscle pain on the should and neck.
I have the same pain. Do you have hypothyroidism? I do and am taking levothyroxin. Developed neck, shoulder pain about 6 months ago and it sucks
Wow. I drink coffee and have neck pain and tight shoulders. Why is this?
@@nataliewei5186 No I don’t have hypothyroidism, and the pain is now subsided.
@@stpatrick614 mostly from the tightest of muscle from long term used of coffee. When stopped, the muscle go back to normal, thus the pain.
Best of luck!
Hi there. Rooibos tea comes from South Africa. It's part of our religion 🙂 Thank you for your amazing videos
Thank you for watching!
Are there any downsides to this tea? How much do you drink it?I like to try it. Baie dankie.
I had this weird feeling of anxiety and not feeling well. Didn't know where it came from, even with a healthy lifestyle. And lots of shoulder and neck pain. Now it's day 16 without coffee. On the first week those symptoms weirdly incresead, but slowly subsided to a really better state. Now I'm using it only strategically and preferably with green or black tea. I do take decaffeinated coffee as well, which has only small amounts of caffeine.
Sounds like you are doing great!
Same here, shoulder and neck pain, headaches…30 days no caffeine and i am feeling much better with every no caffeine day ❤
@@inesekinerte Great to hear! Something else I've noted. I used to have lots of hay fever. It now has subsided as well. Cutting back from caffeine was the best health decision I've ever made, no doubt about it.
@@gabriel.esteves i have been struggling with often sneezing and blocked nose in the morning. And could not find the cause for years. I hope it will getter for me too 🙂
@@inesekinerte I hope so 🙂
Thank you for this video Doctor. I use caffeine for almost 15 years now and tomorrow i hope to start my new life without coffees! I want to become free of this addictive cylcle. And be fully naturally and energetically me! ❤❤
Wishing you the best!
sucks to not have coffee. I just take naps during lunch time lol
I'm about to quit. Watching this stuff to educate my co-workers because somedays they drink a lot, other days they don't have time to go out for one so they quit that day. I'm the only one who drinks the instant stuff in the staff room. Anyway, they're all addicted and they get in bad moods and stuff and they don't even realize it's coffee doing it them. Makes me wonder how many people have up and downs and don't even realize it's that sweet, little, innocent cup of coffee doing it to them.
Thank you for your insight and for watching.
I was not expecting insomnia as a side effect of caffeine withdrawal. ☹️
Every time I quit (you'd think I'd learn) it never fails... on the third day I'm just wide awake at night. I'm considering trying melatonin this time but I'm slightly afraid of being groggy in the morning and without coffee. 🤦🏻♀️ May try on a weekend. Good luck to you.
Thank you for this motivating video.
On a side note: "rooibos" is an Afrikaans (from the country of South Africa) word, meaning "red shrub" or "red bush".
Very relatable. Thank you.
You're so welcome!
Thank you doc. Very precious info about healthy life. In fact we follow what is being dictated to us everyday. Appreciated. 👏👏👏
Thank you for watching!
Onwas thinking of giving up coffee. I only have one cup in the morning and wasn't always a coffee drinker. I am def sensitive to caffeine but the main reason I was thinking of getting rid of it is the stuff I out in it. I cant stand it alone.
Best of luck!
brilliant assessment
I used to be able to drink espresso all day and then fall asleep like a baby. But slowing caffine,only in the morning, if i drink coffee too late, I am up all night. 😂
I have weaned myself slowly off of caffeine a few times. But like 2 months later I still don’t feel great so I relapse, last week I started using caffeine again after about 2 months…. Will it be easier for me to quit this time since it’s only been a week since I started again??
I hope so.
😢
I feel the same way about Stevia. I wish you would take it out of the Reset Shake or at least sell a version without the stevia.
What do I drink then?
I hate having the crash I get sleepy right away and dehydrated
Water
I never understood why people want to start drinking coffee in the first place. 🌞
My resolution was to quit coffee the whole november.
Day 1 was uneventful
Day 2 (now) starting this morning with severe headache. Went for a walk and had good breakfast as usual. After taking a nap i was vomiting my life out. Chills and sweats also.
Im never sick and never had problems with digesting foods etc. BUT WTF is this?
Any recommendations?
❤
Drink Teeccino instead! zero caf!
I love it too!
