Why give up caffeine? -Based on my test results I have leaky gut and a handful of intolerances. This is largely due to a decade + of pounding it with black coffee, booze and junk in my 20s. I'm repairing this and coffee is a no go. Caffeine also messes up digestion -Sleep : While I can sleep good it's not consistently perfect. Huge correlation to midnight wake ups and coffee (no matter when you drink it, even if you do it early in the morning) If you pop up a few times per night VS sleeping the entire time...Despite doing everything right...Bingo. Sleep and digestion are BY FAR the two most important aspects of longevity, productivity and athletic performance. Caffeine is an assault on both of them. -Consistency : The people that CRUSH it on Caffeine are usually the people that drink the entire day. If you only do it in the morning, the only time you are SUPER motivated is the morning. But the end result is less productivity at any other time, bad sleep, foggyness from bad digestion and in the end coffee/caffeine results in far LESS net productivity. Its just a no brainer at this point. After repeated use the energy is only enough to get you to normal. A short high is not worth the absolute havoc it causes in return for -Poor sleep -Bad digestion -Bad skin -Anxiety -Inability to have calm/consistent energy

The reason I talk about addictions like gaming, booze, caffeine, pot, sugar so much... Is because they are so normalized that when their HUGE negative affects happen to a person, they USUALLY think it's them/ their personality. I want to spread awareness that if you feel like "less than" its likely not you. It's your self imposed jailors. These train a person to feel/think they are an unmotivated loser. And they are completely unaware that their lifestyle of endless dopamine chemical presses is ACTUALLY the cause. 99% think they are boozing, caffeinating, smoking and eating without much negative impact...or even more that its helping/improving their life. In short so many are in a crater, believing they are weak and that life is depressing...They are in this crater THINKING these things are their only brief ways out. When really these things are the things that put them there. I don't speak of addictions to shame anyone. I speak of them so that at least if you do them, you know the TRUTH and where the damage/pain/lack of fire in your life is coming from. I want people to simply know that a life where you actually just feel good, have will power and a personality you can be proud of is well within their reach. That their "pleasures" are actually their jailers and are keeping them in a cage away from true pleasure and fulfillment. Awareness is my sole goal. Once a person is aware, its up to them if they want to keep seperating themselves from actual happiness, energy, and "inner fire".
