Hi, I'm Aleks and I'm a recovering coffee addict. I savored this morning ritual and looked forward to it each day for years. However, when I started experiencing health issues such as chronic fatigue and brain fog, I decided to end my relationship due to the negative impact coffee had on these things. It took me a while to listen and I dragged it on for way too long, but now standing on the other side of it, I wish I had listened sooner. I take you through this journey in this episode. Here's what we'll cover: : Reasons why I gave up coffee: I was experiencing gut issues and hormonal imbalance that manifested as chronic fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and sinus issues How coffee negatively contributes to these health issues: It is a stimulant and is taxing on your nervous system and can lead to anxiety It stimulates your adrenals and can lead to adrenal fatigue It raises blood pressure Conventional coffee can contain molds and/or lots of toxins like herbicides and fungicides which can disrupt your endocrine system (aka cause lots of hormonal imbalances like acne, moodiness, infertility, etc) Coffee contains a protein that can be misread by your body as gluten. If you're gluten sensitive and/or experiencing gut issues, this is a problem!
