patients ask is caffeine bad for you well it kind of depends for some people
it could be not a big deal at all and for some people it could be devastating.
Caffeine is a stressor on the body its effect is similar to that of adrenaline
which is a stress hormone so if you're reasonably healthy it's not a big deal
but if your adrenal glands are weak if you have some adrenal fatigue then
caffeine may be a really bad idea and if some other glands are a little weak as
well maybe your thyroid then there might also be a good idea to cut back on the
caffeine and a lot of people once they start cutting back they try to just cut
it out and then they feel terrible and they have headaches and they can't wake
up and they feel miserable for a few days until their body adjusts again so
you don't have to cut it out completely what I would suggest is if you like
coffee then we near self off gradually find a
good organic decaffeinated coffee and then you mix it so in the beginning you
mix 5050 regular and decaf and drink your usual amount and then you do that
for a few days and then you do 75% decaf and 25% regular and you drink that for a
few days and you wean yourself off until you're on decaf only and at that point
you are no longer dependent on caffeine your not going to get the headaches if
you discontinue so if you really really like the coffee then you could probably
keep drinking the decaf coffee if you want to get rid of it completely you can
probably do that at that point and not have any any
negative effects from it so give that a try and let me know how that works we
don't want you to feel miserable if you can quit and not have any headaches
great if you get the headaches then wean yourself off slowly if you're new to
