More Energy with Less Caffeine

#019 - Caffeine makes an addictive energy promise, but when the scale starts tipping from feeling awake to feeling anxious, the benefit may become less than the cost. I was terrified when I cut back on caffeine that I was going to feel like a zombie staggering through my day, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that my energy levels felt a lot more stable than when I was winding way up on caffeine and then crashing back down every couple hours.

To that end, here's what I have for you in today's episode:

• A few reasons we might want to consider adjusting our caffeine routine
• How much caffeine is too much
• A clarity question to help you decide what adjustment you might want to make that won't leave you feeling deprived and exhausted
• A couple energizing techniques for a boost without the jitters
• And last but not least, a comparison between going cold turkey and an incremental upgrade and how to make it work for you

This episode is designed to give you practical strategies and quick wins when it comes to feeling more energy with less caffeine, and I truly hope you find them as helpful as I have!
