My UnCaffeinated Anecdote: After 22 years of addiction to coffee (3 cups per day), I gave up caffeine and it was one of the best things I ever did for myself. My digestion is better, my sleep is better, my energy is stable all day, no headaches, I can handle stress a bit better. If I am fatigued, litterally, WATER HELPS (I said this in CAPS because I was surprised at how well water works for my energy levels. It's weird) or I have a snack and here is my energy. Now when I drink a cup of coffee (90mg), my blood vessels constrict and I am cold all day I pee all the time, my poop is uncomfortable, and I am more snarky and impatient. Even a whole chocolate bar (other than peeing all day) will do all this to me. The only draw back from being caffeine free is that I don't wake up as fast in the morning. I putt around for the first 30min-1hr upon waking. Withdrawl was shit for a month and a half and I didn't start reaping there benefits until a solid month in. The first week, my eyes were glazed over and I was living off ibprofuen to help headaches. The stable energy didn't happen for about 3.5 weeks after stopping caffeine. Oh but it was SO worth it. I am only 4 months into caffeine free and I love it. Okay, I am not caffeine free completely. I enjoy my life now and them. I will drink 1/4 cup of coffee OR 1/3 a bar of chocolate (never both) for a treat. Also (I am not a doctor), I keep coffee on hand to help me if I have an asthma attack. I usually just use my inhaler but it is nice to know I have coffee on hand to help open my airways. (Again, I am not a doctor, your inhaler should work, talk to your doctor first about caffeine. Take your inhaler. Don't rely on coffee to save you). ... Anywho, I would recommend anyone to get off coffee and give themselves 2 whole months to adjust first before deciding they need it. ...that said: caffeine is a lesser of evil drugs so, do what you need to do to get through this life. ✌️

I personally LOVE the smell of coffee beans and coffee shops, but I am extremely sensitive to caffeine. I get super shaky and even nauseous ): sometimes headaches and twitches, it’s super weird.

Anxiety and coffee do not go well together at all for many people.

Basically my view on caffeine is, if you’re going to drink anything with caffeine try to limit it to coffee or are any natural foods that contain caffeine. need caffeine? It just depends on the person. I went online no caffeine cake for like six months no soft drinks no coffee etc. personally for me I did not experience anything negative. No withdrawal symptoms or feeling exhausted. But for other people they may take caffeine for several different reasons such as like of course an energy boost are also along with some people may need it for ADHD because it keeps the brain stimulated and focused for some people of course. Some people may end up drinking caffeine to help them sleep at night because of course some cases of ADHD caffeine works in reverse on people with ADHD. If you’re wanting to quit caffeine I would just speak to your primary care doctor. And towards the myth that you will lose weight if you quit caffeine is bullshit I lost weight by quitting soft drinks after when I start drinking coffee and I actually stabilize my Weight.

both my dad and I get tired after drinking coffee. he usually has to take a nap afterwards and I just get pretty chilled out by it. don't know why that is.

I've never experienced any effects from coffee, no energy perk-up, faster heart rate, jitters, nothing. I know people who can't have coffee around 3 pm because they won't sleep at night, but I could have three espresso shots before bed and fall asleep right away. I've always wondered why that is.

Maybe you need a Magnesium supplement if you’re lacking energy. Coffee can deplete your Magnesium levels and make you have chronic fatigue. I used to be the same way. I still drink coffee but not for energy. And, I make sure I drink my coffee a few hours a part from taking my Magnesium supplements.

Swayze (and everyone else) have you tried the Almond Breeze almond/coconut milk in your coffee? I am trying it for the first time right now and it's not bad. I don't like either milk on its own in coffee, and I can't afford to use NutPods every day. When I was raw-vegan I just ignored the no caffeine rule. Don't take my only joy away from me.

you are so genuine,intelligent, logical and beautiful I love your videos!

I’m the same way with sleep - I don’t feel well rested unless I get ~10 hours of sleep, which happens like once every two weeks. It’s such a struggle.

People need coffee when they can’t get natural energy. Same with other stimulants

I find coffee to be stinky and repulsive. Each to their own :) Just for interest, I’d like to see some double blind placebo controlled studies on the affect on adrenals, cortisol levels & kidney toxification on long term coffee drinkers.

We stan coffee. I continuously tried to stop drinking coffee and I continued to want it for more than a year! Glad I’m over that way of thinking.

I love coffee. Ironically, in both my pregnancies I couldn’t stand coffee for the first 4 months. Being pregnant with a toddler is rough. I feel you. But so worth it! Kids are awesome. Congratulations!

The more sleep I get the less coffee I need. I've gone through times in my life where I was drinking about 6 cups a day on 5-6 hours of sleep. Now I regularly sleep 8-9 hours (I need a lot of sleep) and now I have 2 cups a day (one in the morning and one in the afternoon). So yeah, sleep good. Coffee, also good. Get sleep. Wake up and have a delicious cup of coffee. Live your best life. Thanks for listening to my TedTalk.

Is it healthy to consume caffeine while pregnant?

I have never had a coffee come down? I usually feel amazing all day after 1 cup in the morning. I think also using coffee as a pre workout really helps! (: thanks for posting this!

I think it’ll be interesting to see you make these looking back on yourself videos in 5 or 10 years (looking back on right now) if you’re still doing KZread.

I’m anemic (and I do eat some meat but maybe like 2 times a week) and I take iron and eat iron rich food but my body doesn’t absorb it the way that everyone else do due to the type of anemia I have. I have to get iron intravenously constantly. So I need a lot of sleep as well to feel rested and as a mom of a school age child and a newborn that doesn’t happen. Coffee helps and I would be lost without it. But I totally understand the sleep issue. And yeah for those wondering anemia is not exclusively a diet issue because I do all I can to get enough and it just doesn’t work for me. I blame heavy cycles and genetics as my moms side all have anemia. Sometimes even meat eaters are anemic so don’t come for the vegans guys

But what about the fact that most people drink coffee due to lack of sleep? Even you admit that is why you drink it. Therefore don't you think it is disrupting your bodies signals that you are tired and need more sleep? Not to mention I don't personally need any studies to tell me coffee is bad for me. I simply know because of the horrible anxiety it gives me when I drink it. Yes I may have more energy but it puts my nervous system in what feels like hyper drive.

But I totally understand why people depend on it. Life's busy and we're all just trying our best to function. Still wouldn't say that makes it "healthy" ya know?

I'm really sensitive to caffeine, especially in coffee. It makes my heart race. I also find that I am less tired when I don't drink it. It makes me feel more tired during the day and then I have difficulty sleeping at night. It's strange.
