what was your symptoms with your anxiety? i do lots of anxiety and i suspect coffee to be give ma worst anxiety with dizzyness.

I agree. I quit and my sleep is so much easier/better and I’m generally much less anxious - rock on🎸👍🏻

I can attest to that had all types of issues smh

Doubt of it's validity or everyone would remember their first coffee drink

There is no downside to stopping drinking caffeine. It's a drug addiction like any other.

Was the same reason for me . Caffeine affects our brain neurotransmitters . 1 day I asked myself why when I was a kid I didn’t need any stimulating substances like coffee, the moment I woke up I had lots of energy and can go outside to play with my friends without having breakfast… it’s been almost 1 year since I quit drinking coffee and it’s getting better and better

I had the same. Crazy

@@alexanderd1653 it was nightmare….

I also had an anxiety problem. So bad that I got diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I even went to a psychologist for about 1 year (every other week to every month). And I realized that the anxiety was probably simply because of too much caffeine. Then I changed jobs so went back to drinking coffee, now I'm day 3 without. And I'm sooo tired. But it's getting better. Didn't get any headaches though

There’s actually a study that proved that 1-3 cups of coffee a day increases risk of cardiovascular disease for certain individuals with a particular genotype, proving that coffee is in fact unhealthy for certain individuals who can’t metabolize caffeine as quickly as others.

Same thing happened to me. I had AFIB, my heart would start racing up to 180 beats per minute. Doc said caffeine wasn't a cause. But I went off caffeine - not because of AFIB but because I had a frequent urination problem. When I went off caffeine for two weeks I had no AFIB, then one day I decided I need caffeine, as soon as I drank - two ounces my AFIB came back. Apparently after I withdrew from caffiene I was even more responsive to it. Studies say that caffeine isn't a trigger for AFIB, but it is for me.

Same here. Did you start working out also? That situation scared me to my core.

Good for you!!

I quit vaping, then quit caffeine and started working out again.. feel amazing

I admire you. I want to give up my lifelong addiction to coffee. And I want to become a gym rat.

I quit smoking using the On! Pouches and quit coffee with decaf, then one day a few months ago, I just said fuck it, any amount of caffeine already effects me negatively and the On! Pouches just became gross after a year, I just quit both of those the same weekend. I had smoked for 20 years before the pouches, which really worked well. Reading the ingredients to both cigs and the pouches(way “safer”) are just too disturbing to write off forever. Couldn’t easily find any pouches without the fake sweeteners. So after the day I quit I had 3-4 weeks of intermittent migraine style headaches just from decaf and 2mg pouches. What made me really quit the pouches was that I started getting a few headaches which NEVER get, so I quit everything the next day. Haven’t had a headache in a few weeks, knock on wood cuz that shit was pretty intense at times. Now just eat a crapload of things like cilantro to get the heavy metals out of the body a much as possible even though NOTHING beats old fashion sweating. 😅

Just makes me wanna make a cup for me now

@@MyOtakuCorner a strong cup, splash of milk, teaspoon of sugar. oh yes

Lol I was literally thinking the exact same thing.

How many cups of coffee did you drink before you quit? I ask b/c I drink only 1 cup (black, no sugar), with breakfast. And my energy level is always consistent, provided I get at least 6 hours of sleep per night (though I rarely dream). I often have too much energy (I also exercise daily). I've been a 1-cup coffee drinker for 3 decades now. I doubt quitting will render me even more energetic.

@@writerforlifeify I ain't no expert but I think you are fine with drinking 1 a day. I think this applies to people drinking more than 300mg of caffeine a day. I was drinking energy drinks (sugar free) that had 180mg of caffeine, and I usually took 2 of them a day for a pretty long period (atleast 2 months). It was honestly hell, now that I look back at it. My energy was so off. I quit drinking energy drinks since the month of february and I feel much better. Plus, sleeping less than 6 hours a die while doing this is dangerous in the long term. I truly believe that doing what I did over 1 year would surely increase my chances of getting sick. Either way, EVERYTHING in life needs balance. It is OK to drink an energy drink occasionally, for example if you had a bad nights rest but have to hit the gym, or need to be awake that extra time to study/work. But eating or drinking something every single day in a high volume will have a negative impact on your body, no matter what. So just balance it out in my opinion. Something I feel everyone should quit doing is drinking alcohol. Now THAT is a real killer.

@@HeidariReacts Thanks for replying. Best to give up so-called energy drinks altogether. My co-worker, now 62, drank those for years. Different brands, including Red Bull. He had 2 jobs, bought his lunch from McDonald's every day. So, in March of 2023, he suffered a mild stroke while at work. 911 was called, he was rushed to the hospital...then was off work for 2 months for rehab. He's still working with us but had to give up both his 2nd job & his driver's license; his wife drives him to & from work. He's lucky to be alive.

@@writerforlifeify Well, I still stand by my statement that drinking or eating anything in extreme amounts will always be dangerous. So keep a balance and all will be fine. If you are strong enough to quit majority of things that has to do with sugar, then go for it. Otherwise keeping a balance is the best decision, and being careful about the amount you take in your body. Whether that be candy, chocalate, chips, energy drinks, fast food etc it is important to limit that as much as possible. PLUS, sleep and working out is so important. Especially sleep. May God bless your colleague though. It sucks to hear, but the hard truth is that people close to him enabled that horrible routine of his. Happy to hear that the man is alive! Take care and have a wonderful day 🙏

@@HeidariReacts Regarding balance, I always think of that scene in 'Karate Kid' where Mr Miyagi repeatedly says to Danny "All life need balance." That one line of dialogue is forever emblazoned in my mind. A wonderful day to you as well.

This is complete horse manure. This caffeine addict is trying to extol the benefits of a drug that he's dependent on, and basically attributing all of modern development to one cause. Any external food that provides no nourishment but is required for you to function effectively can never be a good thing. The ideal way is to get off caffeine entirely and drink it only for the taste rather than for the hit.

This comment screams journalist, underrated

Some people need uppers, others need downers in order to be productive. I'll stick to my CBD oil and Gyokuro green tea, no second thoughts whatsoever. But I can understand why people like caffeine, the feeling when it hits your vascular system is absolutely incredible. But then again, thinking about those sleepless nights and being depressed...Nope.

I guarantee if you had did the same thing but without the coffee you wouldve been even better, but instead if for some reason you can't get to your coffee your whole day is ruined like a baby without his baby bottle 😂

I never needed coffee in the morning, but always needed it in the afternoon after lunch. I feel fine from the time I wake up till lunch with no stimulants. But as soon as you start eating (excluding breakfast for some reason it doesn’t have much of a negative affect) - energy crashes and you want to go to sleep and that’s where you need coffee. The solution is to eat one meal a day in the evening after work. When you don’t eat, your energy is always good and stable throughout the day.

I read “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan in college. It essentially said, “Eat whole foods,” but it was somehow written with 12 or so chapters.

Sunlight generating melatonin is how we're designed to enter restful sleep. Getting away from the cycle of the presence and absence of sunlight is what led to the rise of modern neolithic diseases that allopathy doesn't fix.

@@michaelswenson6599 I'm not totally sure how your answer relates? Maybe you can expand upon that?

@@chickenortheeggphotography caffeine is a stressor just like blue light, that triggers the release of cortisol to prepare to fight, flight or hunt; to meet the day. Melatonin fuels truly restful sleep, but it is countermanded by blue light as it is designed to do at dawn in a proper circadian rhythm. Alcohol was substituting for your lack of melatonin and it was not giving you the restful, regenerative sleep that wellness requires. I'd bet you're still stressing your physiology with blue light at night like everyone else. I hope that was a bit more useful. Don't stop at just removing caffeine and alcohol. Put your eyes and skin in the sun, now that you have more control of your mornings; and keep your eyes and skin dark at night to let melatonin engage to do it's work properly. When I did this, my sleep and wellness changed dramatically and I still drink too much caffeine.

@@michaelswenson6599 Gotcha. Yes, I already do all that. And read before bed, exercise every day. I don't really look at my phone too much before bed. So no, the blue light thing isn't really an issue for me. Ever since changing my lifestyle over the course of a few years things have all but taken care of and cleared themselves up. Alcohol was a familial issue mainly, most everyone in my family history was addicts, except my parents, and it just became a habitual thing because I was hanging out with the wrong crew. I knew i had a problem, but did nothing to fix it. It was a mindset more than a lack of melatonin, trust me when I say that.

@@chickenortheeggphotography the alcohol fills pleasure receptors that were designed to be filled with beta-endorphin made within us while exposed to sunlight. It is the only non addictive opiate. We were designed to be addicted to that which gives us melatonin and many other benefits. Instead we hide from sunlight and self-medicate with addictive substances and behaviors that give us the dopamine hit we crave.

Same. Caffeine gave migraines over time as well.

same, I used to be a fine dinning chef up to 2 Michelin stars on Jersey Island in U.K. and had awful eating habits. My breakfast lunch and dinner was a coffee and cigarette until I get home at 11pm and eat the entire fridge at once. Whoever worked in fast paced quality kitchen knows how hectic, intense and mental these environments are. Used to drink about 6-8 coffees a day EASLY + at least one big Monster a day… Covid forced me to leave the industry and now I know that without lockdown I would ve been in even deeper💩. Never ever did any sniff what is a plague in hospitality so I can only imagine how destroyed people are after coke abuse FOR WORK, instead of once a week or month. I got GERD due to all that ( basically chronic heart burn/acid reflux ), have to take a Lansoprasole medication every day otherwise it a matter of hours and I might drink nothing eat nothing and I still feel a dragon spitting fire in my throat and chest if I do not take my med. Still not the end of the world, people have much bigger problems and hear much worse news - but really - F caffeine, you don’t need that and when you ACTUALLY NEED IT like I did “because of work” - change the job instead of adjusting habits to it to cope. Your health is much more important that making few more bucks.

Green or white tea are much lower in caffeine but still give the clear headedness. Green tea is even attributed to lowering anxiety. I quit coffee after palpitations and started Green tea and I'm loving it

I've had trippy visions that caffeine puts your body into an altered frequency and is more succeptible to electromagnetic fields causing issues. But hey I'm just an idiot repeating thoughts.

Interesting take on caffeine but it's very "bourgy" take on history pre-modern era since like 90% of most slaves and workers and servants were not drinking caffeine to do the labour's, nor is it correct to link caffeine to both the enlightenment in 16th century and mideast science revolution in 12th century. There was however the cafe culture of highest elites and intellects where ideas were exchanged, and some anecdotal evidence of huge coffee drinkers like Newton and Voltaire. Still, there are various other factors impacting the proliferation of ideas and booms of productivity that caffeine plays much minor part compared to other factors than as being suggested. Free speech and freedom of and openness to non-religious/scientific/philosophical/literature/arts/history has more to do with the system and rights and education that encourages and promotes different eras of human thought and discovery, as well as the technological tools available such as optics like telescopes and microscopes. Optics, print press, chemicals, food, different paints and arts, metal working, economics, timekeeping, discovery of elements, imperialism and exploration leading to discoveries etc as well as freedom of intellectualism are much more direct causes than caffeine...

So glad to hear this! I quit coffee about 6 months ago and I feel amazing. Kinda sad seeing so many comments about some people seeming almost “proud” to claim that the are addicted to caffeine. My health has improved in so many ways since I quit and I don’t ever see myself going back. No more migraines/tension headaches, no more gut issues, and my anxiety is at an all time Low. Glad to see some people realizing caffeine isn’t the only way to feel energized and that caffeine isn’t a substance our body necessarily “needs”. Cheers to you! 🙏🏽🥂

​@@jjss3055bro. I used yo drink it everyday to get energy to work (10 hrs a day). After months I stopped because it is q drought and after the effect ends, you feel soo tired.

I ended up working 14hrs a day with no worries

Did you lose any weight being off coffee?

My brother who I worked with would give me these "pills" to get awake in the morning. So for months I'm unaware what this pill is doing or has in it. It was literally just a caffeine pill but still, the fear not knowing drove that. Plus I would be doing these 40 plus hour weeks at work all the while I'm a pot smoker mind you right so the memory was foggy. I had my own panic attack because of the over caffeine and smoking so much on the brain. Truly a unforgettable.

Coffee is meant to be taken as a treat, that's why it gives you that good euforia effect when not abused.

Nobody should drink coffee. Before you object, think about for a while. The reason you feel good about drink it, feel bad not drink it, is caffeine excites your nervous system, make you forget about tiredness. You see, if you are tired, your body sends you a signal, you are supposed to have some rest, right? That's natural protection system at work. You want to break that mechanism, ignore that signal. That's insanity.

@@seanleith5312 Modern life doesn’t allow this. You can’t take a nap at work if you are tired. You can’t sleep in and be late for work if you are tired.

This is why microdosing is effective. There are clear benefits to caffeine but for some the full dose is a bit much.

About half way through the podcast I remembered where I heard his voice. He’s featured in a documentary called Food Inc. very informative.

@Matthew Andrade Jesus that reminds of kids in highschool who'd show up with 1 litre energy drinks every morning their teeth be like 'aight ima head out'

@@MidirDS3 is this how people talk nowadays? These sentences don't even make sense

@Matthew Andrade I worked for a Miller Beer distributor in the 80's and we carried Jolt. After a can of that shit, it felt like your teeth were melting and you just did a line of coke.

@@brettbr815 Apparently thats what 'their teeth' were saying, lol, their teeth must have been a bunch of arseholes! Peace from Ireland mo chara...

Nah it's boring.

Do tell me more😮. I'm a fellow weight lifter. I've just quit caffeine as well.

👏😱

Fo sure

Double entendre haha

Haha

Look up Elon Musk meets Post Malone It’s hilarious! 👽

Hahaha! He was on some fivehead caffeine manipulating Joe type shit. ;) Also, caffeine plus psychedelics is like setting fire to liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen if you mix them. Im talking about rocket fuel tripping. Maybe its just me, but caffeine and psychedelics are a fun combination.

@@KapteinFruit wow never thought of that! Must be wild!

Yep, that’s all Rogan needs to hear. 😩🤣👌

😂😂😂

KapteinFruit Woow that sound like Mayas drinking cacao beverage and taking mushrooms. What's in common? Yes, caffeine (sorry for my english, i just learn from youtube hahaha)

How did reducing caffeine consumption help? That’s great to hear

@TylerPronesti After this video I successfully quit cold turkey for 90 days and that momentum spiraled into quitting sugar, which eventually led to quitting 🟧⬛️ which is leading to a spiritual awakening using 🍄 and acid 😂 its been a wild year

Awesome! I have a similar story, alcohol, nicotine, sugar, dairy, caffeine (I had a heart issue I was trying to figure out and funny thing is it was something other than all the stuff I quit but I felt so good I just stayed away from all that stuff, I'm getting ready to get me some boomers to really open up my mind, I also added 2 min cold showers! Just force yourself through it, feels amazing

@robertmauro746 Yes! Thats great to hear! The cold shower thing is fantastic! I've found this app called Mental that guides you through diferent stress breathing techniques and builds you up slowly towards a longer shower

Interesting. How many cups were you drinking at your peak? And how long did it take to feel like you were thinking clearer?

Amen! Sleep is better, focus is better, energy is not down and mood is up. I will still drink coffee occasionally but it is no longer my master. Depression, anxiety, memory fog got abit better when I switched from carb/pasta/grains heavy diet to a more robust one of meat, veggies and just abit of carbs... not trying keto again. But what really made me feel better was getting off coffee. ...I was a big drinker...

@@Alagachak how long till you feel like your focus started to come back?

You guys have to do more research on how harmful caffiene is. Coffee cuts 30%-40% of blood flow to you brain thats why you cant think. The reason every shitty job has coffee and every corner theres a starbucks is because the rulers need you drugged caffinated so you can do your boring job without blowing your brains out. Hence the coffee perfect drug to keep you non thinking

@@Beverlyhillsfinest so why do physicists and mathematicians live off coffee and refined sugar?

I read “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan in college. It essentially said, “Eat whole foods,” but it was somehow written with 12 or so chapters.

You seem passionate.

Interesting, good point.

What do you mean?

Thats funny cause I drink 2 cups a day have blood work every three months and my cortisol is great. Strange statement....

How do you feel off caffeine?

​@@heygoogle6133you reach the state of nirvana.

When I’ve been addicted to anything I’ve always felt that I’m either up or down. If I just consumed the drug, I’m up, and if it’s been hours since, I’m crashed, I feel I need another hit, or sleep.. It’s been two weeks off coffee for me and my energy throughout the day is just at a normal level.. There’s no huge peak in the morning, then crash by noon, then another coffee, then spending my evenings really tired/crashed. My sleeps improved, I just feel normal. I can’t believe I spent like 20 years on caffeine.

never drinked coffee

@@kramnewton8683I quit coffee 6 days ago, but still drink black tea. I’ve noticed I’m less irritable but the sleep is about the same (not great) and energy during the day is pretty low after 12pm, basically want to do nothing or even lay in bed all day. So idk.. kind of need to get stuff done at work plus just not feel like a vegetable. Although the irritability and impulsiveness from coffee is kind of bad too especially when driving or dealing with annoying people. So no clear cut win or loss unfortunately.

Facts

Yep . Stopping Wdd , but there are I’m going to buy more , smoking again . I’m enjoying this fucked up realization, because I’m ok , I’m fictional , but not good what it does to your brain body action in life . For now I’m enjoying till I don’t want more

Soooooo true.

Facts. Craving that Dew

7 days caffeine free for me today. I'm managing the cravings well. Now fighting cravings for sweets in general.

Thank you for sharing your story. I can absolutely relate to what you're expressing. To be quite honest, it's inspiring.

Yes like above comment thank you I needed this

@@zo2246 and what are the chances he just posted that one day ago on a video that was posted over a year ago.... stay up, we got this

@@nogoogle1935 yessir! No coincidences in this universe 👌

Lowering my coffeine intake helped me with my anxiety big time. It kinda feels like I'm more at peace.

Side affects may include: rearranging motorcycles

Legit, I mean.

Have you ever seen a crystal meth tweaker take apart their laptop and put it back together? Strange indeed...

@@marklewen9384 did it still work tho?

@@zaydapsychonaut6051 yes...

Cap

Its ritualistic in the West for many.

In the USA... we got this stuff called beer... we serve it out of a can (the rich people use bottles) and we drink it in places called man caves. That's our culture.

Jebena in Serbian and other Ex-Yu languages means fucked. lol

I mean yeah we have coffee mugs and coffee cups specifically for coffee only lol People buy customized tumblr coffee mugs

I love Ethiopian culture. ❣️ My friend Elsabet makes the STRONGEST coffee. I love it

So are you addicted to caffeine again?

@@blinkers88 guilty

Hopefully you plucked some yellow borneo kratom and made the switch.

@@Tertia_Optio I am 40 days clean from Kratom. The 4th day without kratom was one of the worst days of my life and I could not sleep, could not just lay down because of restleg leg syndrome, sweating, crying. Caffeine withdrawal has nothing on kratom, it was terrible. i am addicted to energy drinks now and coffee and still I dont feel happy anymore.

@@blinkers88 😂

Fuck night work , always tired

I “loved” night work too, but… I couldn’t find a rhythm to spend time with friends and family, didn’t interact with people at night at work either. It’s depressing. Fuck that shit. All the coffee in the world couldn’t get me through the sleepless sunrise.

Nuvigil amd Provigil REALLY free you from the sun....hell they free you from the reality of adrenal fatigue...

@Go Surf that’s cute because I use caffeine to fuel my song writing and guitar playing…creative dreams and ambitions. I guess you really do create your own prison with your own ideas. Also I’m not tired. I hear a lot of people give advice about sky diving that have never jumped too.

lol, sounds like a slave

Unless it’s de Grasse Tyson lol

@@Trp009 gold

Because Joe's high as hell in this interview lol! 😂

Or the weed is next level shit 😂

This is complete horse manure. This caffeine addict is trying to extol the benefits of a drug that he's dependent on, and basically attributing all of modern development to one cause. Any external food that provides no nourishment but is required for you to function effectively can never be a good thing. The ideal way is to get off caffeine entirely and drink it only for the taste rather than for the hit.

You have to drink in moderation, a cup here and then

I weaned over three months. Mixed half regular, half decaf until that was gone, then decaf and then quit.

Lol

Joe Rogan has become what Bill Hicks made fun of

@@kelleymcbride4633 yup one of the "legends" joe quotes all the time

perfectly stated 😂

What's the code Bill, stop the BS "Alex Jones" we know you're Bill.

I heard it helps with anxiety and panic attacks too. Amazing what no coffee can do

@@kateliven2084 How is that amazing lol. It's been a long fact coffee is horribly bad for your body especially in the amount most coffee drinkers consume it.

Yeah i felt no difference if anything just worse without coffee

How is your gut without it? Did you quit caffeine or just coffee?

@@rebex7907 I quit all caffeine. I’m way better now. Less body inflammation too. I didn’t realize how it was affecting me.

This comment is the equivalent of you going up to Jeff Basos and giving him a nickel.

@@shotbyfabi😂😂😂😂😂😂

And maybe a great mistake.

It got worse

@@twt3716 Yup :)

More like it fooled us into thinking we'd been freed from the rhythms of the sun.

A HUGE MISTAKE

What else changed? Do you sleep better?

Same here man, I feel like all these people try and justify being addicted to something. Once you get back to baseline, you have all the energy you need for the day without the peaks and valleys of being dependent on caffeine. Most of these people that say they need caffeine to function have never really functioned without it, or it was so long ago there is no way to remember.

@@danijelb.3384 you sleep better, no peaks and valleys, less anxious, less cortisol realized in your body, no more needing something to feel normal

@@danijelb.3384 I quit 2.5 years ago, instantly started sleeping way better. Blood pressure down.

There are no magic pills. Caffeine, no Caffeine -- it doesn't really matter. Touting any lifestyle change as this amazing thing that can help people sooooo much is probably disingenuous.

I drank a cup of coffee while watching it then got another one and finished the episode lmao

My Mountain Dew looked at me and said “f you buddy you ain’t strong enough”

Milk is not that healthy tho

Good on you, but ditch the milk as well. Human's digestive systems aren't made to digest cow's milk. Cow's milk is for baby cows, not humans.

You can live on just water but that would get boring quick

Same here, no coffee in 5 months, anxiety attacks went away.

Same here, whole milk is a superfood, im just using coffeine tablets sometimes for pre workout

Define good man? Are you talking about morals?

Same spot here,off coffee and smoke for 5 days i use to drink 6 cups .Had years to feel alive , better sleep ,its my revenge in my 30s .Stay strong fellow chesseballs i believe in you !

I like the point you made about not just substances.

but have you tried DMT?

I'm really screwed if all you had was 200mg a day. That's like not even one energy drink that I drink and I'll drink multiple ones a day sometimes.

Search: Elon Musk meets Post Malone It’s hilarious! 😂 😆

Ride on brother, I agree with you
