My friend was very addicted to coffee. He didn't go cold turkey because it made him feel absolutely terrible. After 1 month he was off coffee, but he still felt terrible. After 3-4 months he said he finally felt normal. He no longer drinks coffee, but it wasn't an easy experience. I just add this story in case there is someone who is trying to push through and quit. Everyone has their own reasons to quit or to use in better moderation but hope this story can provide a helpful perspective for someone.

I’m on day 9 of being caffeine free. It’s been rough but it’s getting better day by day. I’m also eating cleaner. What helped me tremendously is to actually focus on my sleep hygiene routine. I actually start it about two hours before bedtime. I remove stimulations like tv and phone, take a nice hot shower, light a candle and dim the lights. I also take 5HTP which helps my mind to relax. I get in bed about 30 minutes before I’m set to fall asleep and just…lay there. It sounds so simple but it has been working like a charm. I went cold Turkey after consuming almost 600mg a day with a mix of energy drinks, pre workout and coffee. I’m praying that I am never tempted to go back to that drug. I feel so much better, even in the struggle to recover. Oh- I see other people mention this also, but my digestion is improving too. Far less bloated and agitated.

I cut back from about 5 sodas a day to 2-3, then to 0. Didn't want to go cold turkey. I would have withdrawals for a few days, but afterwards I felt like I had more energy throughout day, since I wasn't relying on constant intake. IIRC withdrawals shouldn't last more than like 10 days, unless you super addicted from excessively high amounts. I have occasional soda now, perhaps 1-2 per week, but used more as a tool or enjoyment rather than a reliance. From what I have read, there are some benefits to a moderate amount of caffeine, but I would recommend people keep it to around 100mg/day or less.

Most benefits I have experienced are , more confidence, more open to confrontation (sales) , better sleep, more calmness, less anxiety, better speaking abilities, more energy and so on. This is only at 7 months for me. I’ve abused caffeine and this was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I’m so happy I did. Way better then being a junky with horrible side effects

Amazing production quality, really funny and so happy about the insight it got you at the very end! Great video!

caffeine has a 5 hour half life so your last cup is still in your system up to 10 hours later. If anyone is struggling with sleep because of caffeine then the first step is to set a cut off point that is at least 10 hours before your bedtime. The second point is that your cortisol levels are at their highest for an hour or two after waking, so drinking caffeine in that window is least useful. By delaying when you start drinking it and bringing forward the time you stop you can greatly improve both the effects of caffeine for you and your sleep.

It's a lot longer than 10 hours. Let's say your cup has 150mg in it. In 5 hours there's 75mg in your system. In 10 hours > 37.5mg. in 15 hours 18.75. In 20 hours > 9.4mg. In 25 hours > 4.7mg. So over a full 24 hours later there is still caffeine in your system which is why if you have a coffee every day, you build up a tolerance to caffeine and your body is perpetually dealing with caffeine in its system.

Pro tip: start cutting caffeine on the first day of your weekend, so you have a chance to get used to it for a couple days before you have to go to work.

I am a sugar addict who cannot seem to sustain my abstinence and two experts whom I respect have suggested I give up caffeine.

kind of odd results, I would say. for years I've been living off of both coffee and energy drinks. I would either drink 2 12 oz sugar free Red bulls, or 2 20 oz sugar free Monsters - never both - and perhaps an additional 2-4 cups of breakfast blend coffee, each and every day. Very recently I had a scare at a physical and cut out caffeine cold turkey for about 11 days now. After day 1, my energy levels and sleep gradually improved each day. Before quitting, I would always crash somewhere between 4pm and 6pm, often dozing off on the couch for 30 min up to 90 min, which just made me feel worse. In contrast, by day 2 or 3 without caffeine, I felt pretty good and only began to feel tired around a regular time (9-10pm or so). Mornings have also been so much better than at any other time in my adult life, probably even going back to age 13 or so, and I'm now pushing 40. I will also say that I never experienced headaches after quitting, which is also apparently very common. However, the irritability aspect has definitely been spot on, but it does start to taper off after 7, 8, 9ish days. Overall, I'd say don't let this video dissuade you from giving up caffeine if you're on the fence. I suspect OP has something else going on like sleep apnea, or he's on a lot of supplements like creatine, or who knows what lol

Given what you learned about naps, did you moderate your nap length? If not, what if too long naps continued killing sleep, and what if that perpetuated the energy issues?

I think the sweet spot is 2 cups a day spaced a few hours apart, try to get it in before 1 or 2, and after that either go for black tea (half the caffeine) or green tea (even less) or decaf. If you space the cups out you don't get that crazy rush of energy but get a bit more of a modest energy boost through the day. Coffee to late and you fuck up sleep negating whatever benefits the caffeine gave you for the next few days.

"Don't see any benefit to giving up caffiene entirely." *Literally can not live without it.*

Haven’t watched a video in a while, god damn the video production has gone up massively

I used to drink an insane amount of coffee at my last job. In the morning, I would have 4 cups of coffee in the morning with 2 shots of espresso in each cup, then would have another in the afternoon. I cut cold turkey and haven't had a cup in 1.5 years.

Day 34 no caffeine. I think of it time to time but really don’t miss it. My drug of choice was a 5 hour energy a day, even when I didn’t feel I needed it. Ordered the stuff two cases at a time from Walmart and Amazon. Looked forward to the 5 min initial pick me up. I know, sad. Had to let it go. Too much anxiety. Replaced Starbucks. 17 years of caffeine to feel upbeat and energetic. Not how long it will last. Be encouraged.

I gave up coffee after the flu & switched to black & green tea. I didn’t have any coffee for years. If you have problems sleeping, I recommend cutting down on coffee & not having coffee after 2:00 or 3:00 pm & see if that works. A nice glass of iced green tea will pick you up, but wear off in about 6 hours. I drink 2 cups of black tea in the morning. Sometimes I add a cup of Chai if it’s foggy. If it’s hot, I have iced tea, iced green tea, or iced coffee. They all work well. Iced coffee works better for me than hot coffee. When it’s cold in the winter, I drink hot coffee for the taste, but I it doesn’t work for me anymore. Iced coffee gives me a good pick up. If I was going to give up caffeine, I would do it gradually. I would drink iced green tea & Matcha & then try slowly cutting down from there. I hear that a lot of people like functional mushrooms so I might try that for energy. A few other things to consider for fatigue are: Thyroid function, adrenal fatigue, are you getting enough B vitamins? B1 & B12?, Are you getting enough Vitamin D? Enough fish oil? Minerals? Also your diet? I avoid carbohydrates & dairy during the day because they make me sleepy. Also exercise? I’ve been able to swim in the late afternoon & that makes a huge difference. Check insulin resistance. That’s what was making me tired. I eat salmon or sardine or tuna or mackerel salad sandwiches. Build muscle…Also, don’t rely on coffee. Don’t drink more than one cup or a cup & a half. Detox with green tea or a detox tea. Drink water & stay hydrated.

Great quality video sir.

One of the things I learned from reading a lot of experts; if you go off of Caffeine, you must add more protein to your diet, and other things that naturally give you energy. I do not drink a lot of coffee, maybe once every blue moon. I love drinking tea (mainly green tea). I also use a tablespoon of Raw, uncooked and unfiltered honey in my tea. I have just started back to using molasses. All these things will help you maintain your energy levels throughout the day; especially the teas, since the caffeine they have is processed differently by your body, and you do not have the same type of crash. I can also go without tea for a very long time, too. I will drink a 40oz bottle of water with lemon added on an empty stomach. I will add raw honey and molasses to the lemon water with a few drops of peppermint oil when I am going to the gym, and drink that down through the whole workout. I tend to have more energy. Enjoy!!

I switched out coffee for matcha which doesn’t have the same crash effect. Now I’m trying to eliminate caffeine and it feels pretty good. The occasion coffee jacks up my blood sugar, but tastes so good haha

What I did is cut down to 8oz a day. I don't use coffee to last the whole day, I just use it for motivation to get up.

I recommend watching dr hubermanlab episode on sleep, and also giving caffeine a rest for a week every three weeks, because it resets your caffeine tolerance, hope it helps!!! Im also trying to quit and have good energy without depending on caffeine

Always think of the benefits 🤔 growa pair & keep going forward 👏

I had to take sleep aids that did the trick. I would say my energy returned after about 10-14 days in. When I reintroduced coffee, it felt like Adderall. I think it is wise to take a day off a week to keep tolerance from building

I switched to decaf a while a go and have not gone back. I notice that if I need coffee to "wake" me up then it means I'm not going to bed on time and sleeping well. The lesson is to prioritise sleep and then just enjoy coffee for the taste and the manifold health benefits, not as a substitute for bad sleeping habits

I pretty much drank about 10- 12 cups of tea/coffee everyday for well over a decade - I tried going cold turkey and I had to go to bed cos of the feeling of sickness and a ridiculous headache - it was like a horrendous hangover. In the end I chose to have one cup of tea and literally in less than 10 minutes my symptoms went away, absolutely crazy how dependant I had got. So I have now managed to cut it down to about 1 cup a day and a good decaff coffee really helps even if it isnt 100 percent removal of caffeine. I think il always have my morning cup of tea, because tea is my favourite drink and decaff tea is horrible.

I paused this mid video to make coffee... love the channel

Caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours. So if you have a coffee at 6pm half of that caffeine is still in your system by midnight. If you have one at 12am 25% is still in your system at midnight.

There are certain people where this half-life is 4x longer depending on their ability to metabolize the substance. I think I fall into this category!

As someone with sweaty anxiety and insomnia, I definitely see great benefit in ditching caffeine as completely as possible. (Chocolate has a little caffeine, and so does most decaf…but I’m alright with that little bit.)

I quit my four day a cup coffee habit cold turkey 60 days ago. The first seven days were an absolute nightmare with the headaches, but I do sleep way more soundly now. I did not go back to daily caffeine coffee. In a pinch I have caffeinated green tea, but that’s it.

Decaf is gross, chicory is the worst.

Nocebo effect is just as real as placebo, so it would not surprise me if the results were at least somewhat. different!

No headaches? Whenever I start coffee withdrawal I get DEBILITATING headaches. Like there's a little man inside my head hammering at my temples.

I drink two cups two hours after waking up. No more no less. And decaf on Sunday if I slept in, otherwise I’m not tired enough at night.

I’ve been cutting caffeine out over the last 4 months… from 2-3 cups, to 1 cup to 4oz, to 1oz… now I have an amazing mushroom elixir… no caffeine. at 1oz of coffee, I still got headaches… my body hung onto the caffeine til the bitter end. Now that I don’t have any caffeine, I feel more energy, better digestion, less anxiety ( it wasn’t easy!) 👍🏼

I lived my whole life without ever drinking coffee or tea or energy drinks -at 25 I started drinking coffee and am now bout to turn 27 and am often drinking 4-500mg (or two lattes worth of caffeine) a day. I now love coffee and I love what caffeine does for me but also knowing I used to not need it does make me think about quitting or maybe doing a month off of caffeine a year to reset my tolerance.

You just proved that 30 days cannot undo what is I assume years of damage.

Kudo's on the Chemex Pot. I just got a coffee sock from amazon that works equally as well as their filters - just made of cotton and re-usable. :) I also brew in a French Press for 5 mins then pour through filter - best of both worlds. :)

The yelling in the shower 😂

I drink Decaf Cold Brew (yea it's still has a little caffeine), but my addiction and what I'm slowly reducing/eliminating is SODA. 35 years old and I've been drinkin lots of soda for a good 25 years, it's so hard to just eliminate soda, so instead i've gone from 3-5 cans a day, down to 3, and I'm about to go down to 2 which is 1 Sprite and 1 Coke (12 oz can) Upside is as far as caffeine is concerned, only getting Caffeine from that Coca Cola can

Postum is a good substitute for coffee; similar smell and taste...made from roasted grains...

Can't believe this doesn't have more views

Yeah, I've been without an energy drink for 12 days and I feel sooo run down.

Are you drinking caffeine again?

Same, case. I can't stop drink coffee. Energy🌄🥳

☕️ great video

Cam, you back

I quit coffee about 2 weeks ago, i changed the coffee routine since a year ago quiting sugar on coffee, and reducing it to 2 cups, hugh cups a day before midday, with some variations here and there but this last year i have been having pretty f´d up sleep, so i quit cold turkey, and around week one i started seeing results, better skin, teeth whiter, and better sleep... so i guess it depends on the person...

I tried going off coffee about a couple weeks ago because I was noticing an increase in my overall anxiety, and it just did not work for me, man. I tried tapering off and it did not decrease my anxiety at all, so I just went cold-turkey and that was a big mistake. I was constantly stressed and fatigued and had a monstrous pressure headache. Some days were better than others, but it was 80% just feeling like I was going to collapse at any moment and that my body was on fire AND my head was in a vice. Not to mention symptoms of depression (which I spent years struggling with( reared their ugly head too. I'm still trying to find a balance of what my intake should be, but man it's been...rough to say the least. Think I'm near the light at the end of the tunnel, thankfully.

I have this thing with my pinky, like my nerves in that little finger get like a burning feeling, I stop drinking coffee (now 3 months of just green tea and ACV in cold water) and now its gone...

I am about to drink my second cup of coffee and watching this...

I’m just sitting here trying to figure out how your gut was handling all that coffee. Cuz the issues can swing in either direction with too much 😂

You said it at the start! You love coffee ☕️

Great video. I’m glad you did this experiment, because it showed you where your body is “really” at! And it led to reducing your intake and being more conscious around your use of coffee. Two things: have you ever tried a consultation with a Chinese medical doctor? i.e. acupuncturist? Because your “Adrenal dropoff” in the afternoon, and issues with insomnia may be imbalances or deficiencies in your system that can be treated with dietary changes, acupuncture and more importantly in this case, traditional herbs. Coffee is an amazing fruit, but there are other approaches to full activation that can offer you a more permanent improvement without the drawbacks.

I was thinking about getting addicted to coffee. (at least before this)

I’m trying stop starting today …Wish me luck 😊

I've also that problem where hsrd fall asleep. and most times i sleep 5h a day. I know have lot consequences. but just can't help it. I tried quit caffeine. I also work out. I avoid stimulated activity at night like music etc, I just listen to rain sounds etc. my opinion is our life style are too much indoors, lot screen , stress, people...all that ruins our circadian cycle. we need slow it down, go more outdoor, get sun avoid screens..

Can modafinil help with caffine withdrawal symptoms?

Damn I'll try doing morning coffee's again because haven't quit caffeine entirely and I'm feeling sluggish throughout the day

Dandy Blend is really where it's at!

After 30 years of coffee I quit two weeks ago and I'm feeling great. No anxiety more energy better sleep. If I could turn back time I would never start drinking it. I loved drinking coffee but it's affecting your life too much. It drains energy from you instead of giving it.

Hi im from south africa the tea you read is rooibos (red bush) in our language, you pronounce Rooi as Roy and Bos as Baus(just saying it a bit faster)

I'm 40 and started drinking coffee at 8. Eventually 4-6 cups a day. I work long hours so I need the caffeine (or something). I refuse energy drinks. I've also been drinking over a gallon of water everyday for 30 years. I built my body into a machine, have quit multiple things like eating a late dinner, eating cheese, ect. That was easy. I'm very healthy, take no pills and work out 5 days a week. But here I was at 6 weeks of quitting coffee and my body shut down. The pain was so severe that my entire body hurt in that time period and my mind became very fragile. The Dr actually told me to get back drinking coffee immediately.

1 month, do nothing. Do like 6 month for more data. I had a headache for 2 weeks when I stopped drinking caffeine cold turkey x)

I guess the way to do it is to slowly cut out regular coffee beans with decaf, about a tablespoon at a time and rewriting a few days before each reduction.

Finally some validation. I gave up caffeine for a hot minute and I also saw no benefits. My bathroom time stopped being regular, I still couldn't fall asleep til 2am, I didn't sleep better, lost productivity, all the same effects. Exactly the same.

who needs coffee when there are mushrooms blends you can take or even more sacred sources like monotonic gold aka ormus

and here i am drinking coffee to fall asleep. :)

Also try a low carb diet if you want more energy. I noticed you were eating a lot of carbs, that will definitely zap energy despite the initial boost of energy.
