What a gem of a channel mate. This should be a program on national television. Whenever I'm feeling down I watch one of your vids. It's like having a father I never had. You're an amazing guy, keep it up.
Ps. I quit caffeine couple years ago and I feel way more grounded in my mind.
Great to hear it mate, really appreciate the comment. Good effort on figuring out caffeine isn’t for you! Welcome aboard 🫱🏻🫲🏼
I had a large caffeine addiction a few years ago and it was helping to accelerate me toward physical and mental burnout. I was even beginning to exhibit physical symptoms as you said with digestive issues, plus shakes and pins and needles" as well as high blood pressure. I switched to decaff and after a few months these symptoms disappeared and I started to feel more energised. I have now noticed, however, I have allowed caffeine back into my life again and it has now gone from just a cup in the morning to a few cups in the morning and now I am drinking it in the afternoon again. So great timing with the video Simon as it made me take a step back and realise where I am heading once again (I was actually drinking a cup watching the video...). Time for a reset again I think.
Glad you were able to figure a lot of that out Anthony, a short circuit breaker from caffeine is a good idea, especially to get full restorative sleep etc. thanks for watching and commenting
Im definitely guilty of too much Pre Workout too often. Very interesting video, super informative. Keep up the great content.
Finally, an honest review of the detrimental effects of coffee / caffeine in general! I was sick and tired of the 'energy rollercoaster ' and quit coffee a week ago, now on day 7 I feel better but am still hurting. So I try to focus in the endresult and sitting it out. One additional note, I have found that coffee hinders my aerobic fatburning, most likely because the stress response shifts energy production from aerobic beta oxidation of fatty acids to anaerobic glycolysis, aka sugerburning. I have quit coffee before and always found thst my stemina skyrocketed. Atb, Gerlach Sven.
Coffee makes me feel good , both for work and sport. Makes me sharper.
1-2 cups a day.
This is probably one of the best videos I have seen in a while. I stopped caffeine about 3 weeks ago and just lately I’m struggling with low energy/always tired. Also with the amount of coffee shops popping up it makes you think.
Thanks for watching Darren, appreciate the comment 🤙
6:50 that's adorable!!
🤣🫱🏻🫲🏼
A really well put together video Simon! (I’m subscribed 😊). I just have one coffee, mid morning; I look forward to it and enjoy it 😊
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, more videos drop every two weeks so keep an eye out! Enjoy your coffee 😎
This is one of the best health-related videos that I have seen, and I even posted the link to my Facebook lead. One interesting fact about caffeine is that Congress, in the 1912, came close to banning caffeine along with cocaine and heroin. That did not come to pass, but the FDA did ban some high concentration powders in 2018.
I am phasing caffeine out of my life, and expect to have eliminated by the first week of April. I am now prepping for the 75 Hard, and I want to be caffeine-free on Day 1. I do enjoy tea, and am selecting herbal teas that are caffeine-free. I have friends who amp up on energy drinks that are very high in caffeine and sugar, and the result is that they have very poor focus and concentration, and are as high as a kite at time.
That’s an amazing fact and just shows the power of caffeine! 🤯
I think you might be referring to the ban on some pre workout powders etc? Some of those have insane amounts of caffeine. Thanks for posting the link Charles, it means a lot that your so invested in the content. Good luck with the phasing out of caffeine, let us know how you get on. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I found your channel about a week ago when you were at 3.8k. You are now at more than 4k. Well done. All the best with growing your channel.
Welcome back! Thanks for returning for the latest video, we really appreciate it.
Great video as always thank you!
My pleasure!
As much as I love my „cup of stress”, I have became more aware of consuming it. Lately, I try to have one cup a day, good 2 hours after waking up (after cortisol ⬇️ ). Ideally every other day. I don’t think I will cut it out completely because I like it and it also has good properties. My personal approach is; the dose makes the poison. Everyone has to figure out what works for them or not. Good episode!
Nearly two weeks after giving up. Feeling more energy. Less anxious. Cheers.
That is a solid effort! Well done for putting it into practice. New video out tomorrow 👌🏼
This is straight facts!! 💯🎯🎯🎯
You’re welcome 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Great vid. Thanks for the info 👌🏻🙏🏻
No problem 👍
This is a great channel. I look forward to watching your astronomical growth on TH-cam. Thanks for outstanding content.
Bloody good to hear that Rich. Thanks for being a part of it 💪🐸
Anyone with anxiety or insomnia should cut caffeine ASAP.
Super hard though, some mornings don't feel right without coffee.
@@linksgranny64I quit cold Turkey three months ago and I still don’t feel great, but I generally feel way better than I did geeked out on caffeine.
I could never stop at one or two cups of Joe though. I was all in 😬
Used to take pre workout religiously then realized the negative impact. Personally I only have a cup of tea now in the morning and that’s my whole caffeine intake for the whole day. Sometimes I don’t even have that morning tea. Great video as usual Simon thank you.
People underestimate the power of the pre work out drinks, seriously crazy amounts of caffeine. Thanks for coming back and watching another episode mate, it really helps us make more. 💪
I’m a 58 year old male who is in excellent physical condition. I’m also a coffee connoisseur; fresh ground select beans for my pour-overs. My coffee consumption is around 4 cups per day. I can honestly say that I do not experience ups and downs with regard to my energy levels throughout my day. As a patrol Staff Sergeant I work an average of 13 hour shifts in a city with a violent crime rate that is 88% higher than the national average, so I know something about stress. Perhaps, as you mention in your video, I don’t know how much better I’d feel without the caffeine. You’ve got me thinking about experimenting to find out.
Hey Raymond, this is a great comment and exactly what the video is for. It’s not about saying no to caffeine but reframing the importance we place on it. I’d be interested to hear how you feel if you do decide to drink less of it.
Great video. Very informative while being calm and relaxing at the same time. Can I ask you what the brand is of the shirt that you are wearing in this video? It looks really confortable.
Great video as always, bud 👊
Really great video. As a result I’ve dramatically reduced my intake, I’ll continue to enjoy my quality coffee occasionally, but less caffeine has improved my sleep quality. Thanks
Nice one James, thanks for watching. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Excellent balanced video! I’ll try a reduction / partial shift to decaf and see what happens. Thanks!
Great to hear you liked it, let us know how you get on pal. 😎
Coffee enabled troops to endure fighting fatigue. To combat drowsiness in the field, military cooks judiciously added coca leaves to the urns of brewed coffee. A doctor in the Pacific War recalled the scents of portable coffee pots drifting through the jungle. Hot coffee acted as a therapeutic in the fields.
I didn’t know that, great insight. Thanks for sharing buddy. 🤙
Thanks fella.
I’ve been having two cups of coffee ☕️ a day of late. And I’ve been feeling tired of late. And now will switch it up and see the difference.
No worries, the difference will be huge, you’ll have a clearer mind and hold concentration. Good luck 🤝
Great video - I'd switched to decaf tea and coffee a while ago and I am sleeping so much better.
That’s good to hear, I don’t think people realise the power of caffeine 🫱🏻🫲🏼
I'm sacking off caffeine after seeing this! Nobody holding me hostage :) Cheers royal
👀 give it a look for sure. Let us know how you get on mate
Great video! keep'em coming
Thanks! Will do!
Funnily enough I decided to switch to decaff a few days ago after feeling that I was drinking too much and tend to just have the one preworkout. Luckily no side effects really, but I do have very unsettled sleep but really put it down to the rigours of shift work? Perhaps the caffeine is playing a part as alot of the time I have it later in the day depending on my workout time. After watching your video I shall be going decaff totally and see hoe it goes. Many thanks for another great video Simon, an good choice of topic and am looking forward to your next one! 👍
Cheers Sean, alway great to see a positive comment like this. Good luck with the no caffeine policy, you should start to feel more rested after a sleep than you may have been. Thanks for watching 💪
That’s good info. Thanks again. Water, water, water.
Fantastic video, well done 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
I’ve always loved coffee so much, I used to have 3-4 coffee’s a day which had a massive affect on my sleep (or lack of) and if your not sleeping right you can’t train right, work is affected and so on…I’ve now massively reduced my coffee intake and feel the benefits from it. I now only have one coffee a day and that’s the moment I wake up. I feel that’s enough caffeine for me, and later on when I’m tired I don’t feel like I’m ‘crashing’
Nice one Peter griffin… 🤔
Great video
Great video 🎉
such a good video also joined the 32k subscribers interesting facts about americano drink
Welcome aboard! And thanks for joining, it means a lot that you get value from our videos Andrew. There will be more in the future. 💪
Gave up alcohol cigarettes meat absolutely effortlessly..buit coffee, borderline impossible 😢
.
Good morning, I started following you a little while ago and I'm enjoying your videos, I'm addicted to coffee in the morning, but it seems that I go to bed and wake up more tired than I went to bed, could it be from coffee 😊
Really enjoyed thus video, super explanation
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
Very interesting. Thank you, great video. I didn't want to hear any of that 😂😅😂👏👏👏
Thanks for this video buddy. I'm not an athlete or anything like that, just a regular guy. I feel that when I have more caffeine throughout the day I'm a lot more stressed and take it out on people around me. I don't want to be like that so bye bye caffeine.
I used it regularly for pre-workouts... only occasionally now.
I've cut down hugely!
It's just not good at all for your prostate.
Mostly decaf and red bush tea, although there are still small amounts...very small in decaf.
Thanks for this video, I was thinking of quitting coffee. I'm drinking a bit too much of it the past month. Thanks for the scientific input, it's well received.
Cheers mark, good luck with the break from caffeine. Let me know how it goes 💪
@@thenaturaledge ok cheers I will let you know how it goes 👍
I always used coffee as a pre work out but got all coffeed out a couple of years ago. Then started with pre workout which I didn’t like the effects of. I try now to just get on with the workout with just water.
Great content as usual mate 👍
Thanks for sharing, we don’t need all the options and potions were marketed. Just a steadfast commitment to gradual improvement and a positive moving average. Thanks for watching and commenting on our content mate.
I like that you don't tell people not to drink it 👍
It’s always up to you to figure out what’s best 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Great video. I have to confess I did watch it whilst drinking the first of my morning coffees, some how it didn’t taste the same and I skipped my usual second cup. Thanks for the tips on how to filter it out of your life (apologies pun not intended) 😊
Glad you enjoyed it and I’m all for the puns. It can be a real grind getting through the barriers habitual practices present but there real power in it. Catch you latte. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
@@thenaturaledgethese have got to have *bean* the worst puns I ever read..
Hard to filter them out…
How long does it take for the body to return to normal repair & digest mode? Ive heard some say 30 days
You are awesome mate
🫱🏻🫲🏼
excellent channel brother. New sub here. Keep up the good work & I agree... the tradeoff of caffeine isn't worth it for high performance. I always just say "look at what the SOF community (Delta, Rangers, SBS, SAS, etc) or Olympian athletes are doing and do that."... aka, they're NOT abusing caffeine.
Exactly. Everything in moderation (even though the seals say moderation is for cowards 🤣)
@@thenaturaledge indeed. I also like to say “everything in moderation, including moderation.”
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks.
I use to drink 20 to 30 cups of coffee daily,,got to stage I was sucking on fresh roasted coffee beans. That was in mid 20's. Now late 40's I drink at most 2 a day. Literally wake up for first cup😢
I literally smash caffeine, newborn, train 5 days a week without fail, 50 hours of work and I'm constantly shattered. Mentally telling myself to get a grip, do the run, push harder, do that overtime. Energy drink, black coffee.
When i finally stop i can fall asleep anywhere, making me think the caffeine isnt the problem because i can sleep no drama, its the workload tiring me out.
Going to try 30 days withthout it. I'll leave a reply for anyone interested.
I’d be interested to hear how you go mate. It’s the quality of sleep you’ll get I think.
I was drinking five or six coffee’s throughout the day but now I allow myself one caffeinated drink first thing in the morning and that’s it,it has helped.
have you looked into having an electrolyte drink first thing, and then caffeine? sposed to be more effective.
@@TheKlink No I never thought of that.
@@andyg6967 there's a christening Williamson/ modern wisdom short that explains the science. Sposedly there's more point drinking caffeine within 90 minutes of waking up. "Average " rem cycle is 90 minutes, but rem cycle duration is based on chronotype, so you might want to figure yours up to fine tune it.
i work and have started gym alway known caffeine is no good but font no how to kick it
well that's me screwed then all i drink is coffee and have done for years
I was off of caffeine for 20 months. Now I’m back to a cup of black coffee in the morning or a green tea. I like the taste and the ritual so I’ll take the good with the bad for now.
That’s a great way to go with it mate, find a new level rather than rely on. We all have vices and things we like to enjoy! Good work on the long break and figuring out how you feel about it. Cheers for watching and leaving a good comment, it really helps us and the channel a great deal! 🤙
You can stack it with l-theanine and taurine to mitigate most of these symptoms, but like any drug you should take a few months off every so often. I can do that 3 day thing just fine, same with nicotine...I feel bad for these people who practically mainline Starbucks 3x a day their entire lives.
one of the best pieces of advice on coffee
Glad you think so! 🫱🏻🫲🏼
I only drink one coffee a day at 6 am or wake up to go to work and the stress of everyday life 🤗
Coffee tastes like bin juice to me 😂 However I was drinking several cups of caffeinated tea during the day. Now I have a pint mug of Earl Grey tea in the morning just for the taste, then switch to decaf tea / water the rest of the day 🙌🏼
Could it be that coffee is an acquired taste like a lot of alcoholic drinks? More marketing than anything else?
If you listen to everything people say you be living your life by there rules and what they say at all times my advice be yourself and do what works for you
A channel created by an ultra special forces guy who gives science based performance advice?! F*uck yeah, I’m down. Instant subscription 😎👍🏻
Welcome aboard mate, glad you’re into it. More video to come 🫱🏻🫲🏼
decaf teas and coffee's still contain some caffeine. Could anyone tell me is the cafeien levels are negotiable or are they still high enough that you need to take note
I think decaff coffee has between 2-4mg of caffeine in it compared to usually 95 mg in a normal cup. Dont know about tea, or green tea.
Low motivation pig! Haha i feel personally attacked haha, going to try the no caffeine and see how i get on
I only drink one coffee in the morning, which is 1 teaspoon of Nescafe, that's it. However, my sleep is not continuous. I wake up 3 times on average in a 7 hour sleep, and sometimes struggle to get back to sleep as I don't feel that tired, but it will catch up with me during the day and I will be tired anyway. Could this single teaspoon of coffee in the morning be the culprit?
Yes. Especially if you’re sensitive to caffeine.
And what if I just like how coffe tastes and enojy having one or two a day for no particular reason?
Then you can fill your boots mate!
Coffee is my pre workout.
I've heard that you shouldn't drink coffee 90 minutes after waking up. Becuase if you don't let your body wake up properly it can cause you to Have a crash.
Is tea included in this? I usually have one, possible two,cups of coffee a month, tea on the other hand, I drink a lot of tea
Yes, it is! There is less in general but caffeine is caffeine.
The strange one with caffine it makes people with ADHD calm.
What is the alternative for caffeine ?
Decaf is a good option if you enjoy the taste of coffee👍
Cheese
I read that it takes up to 12 hours for coffee to completely leave your system but not that you still have 25% of coffee in your system after 12 hours..
Who here enjoys a coffee and who here _NEEDS_ a coffee?
Good call Simon I'm down to one coffee a day around 10am that's it for me the rest of the day is getting my 2.4ltrs of water your body wait in pounds half that which your oz in water example 12stone = 168lb half that 84lb =84oz water. Check out Dr Andrew Huberman podcast a wealth of knowledge
Good effort mate, thanks for watching. I’ve seen a bit of Hubermans stuff, it’s great!
@@thenaturaledge his podcasts are great ideal for long car drives haha
I’m trying to be serious 😂👏
Good stuff m8! also are you ex-military?
Hi mate yes, there’s a video on my background on this channel. Thanks for watching 💪
@@thenaturaledge Thank you for the great content Commando.
You forgot adrenal burnout matey and having to add more caffeine strength to get to the same levels
Good point Steve, thanks for watching 👍
@@thenaturaledge thanks matey your channel is very informative 👍
Me watching this while my double esoresso kicls in😅
🤣
Why reintroduce it after going caffeine free?
many reasons. caffeine can be useful in the short term but like the video says it is better if you can control you intake so you are not sleeping with caffeine in your system
Great video, for me I always wait for an hour in the morning and after a walk in natural light then have a I have a noon cut off. Also found caffeine + l-theanine to be beneficial at stopping some of the adverse anxiety affects. Also find raw Cacao in my morning porridge a great alternative to coffee, some caffeine and the benefits of Theobromine.
Sounds like you have it dialled mate. Good to have a routine that works for you which means you can still enjoy a coffee without NEEDING a coffee
@@thenaturaledge I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t the occasional day I NEED a coffee 😆but definitely feel I’m not dependant now.
Really enjoying the channel by the way mate, only found it a week or so ago and some really good refreshing content.
Bloody good to hear it mate, we are pushing through and always trying to improve. It’s a tough gig but really enjoying the feedback!
Weird that you just popped up was just talking about you 😂😂
What are the odds!
This is a problem for me. Coffee has my heart. I need to let go.
You can drink coffee, it has many benefits but perhaps reduce the caffeine if you feel like it’s become a necessity. Thanks for watching and commenting every week mate. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Oh Simon 🤷♂️on a Sunday morning 🫣 don’t be so cruel, I was supposed to be meeting the mighty Yoda (he has a small Americano) at 11am in Costa RIP ☕️ I see the dark side is strong in you 😂❤
Helps me function fine not like I’m doing crack where as coffee is perfectly naturally grown 😂
Whatever works for you Dom 💪
@@thenaturaledge thanks
I think your over thinking the whole thing here. I agree 100% that caffeine cannot boost your performance or energy. But like all things moderation is the key. I think people are actually doing themselves more harm with the supplements and energy drinks, right to the point of addiction. I can go without coffee or tea no problem I don't even take sugar so I don't miss that either. There are guys in my gym who can't go without their baby food for one day not to mention the sports drinks.
It’s more of a deep dive on caffeine rather than overthought. But you’re correct in that some people have become increasingly reliant on supplements and sugary drinks. Thanks for watching
Nah I don't agree one bit. I knocked coffee on the head, I only had one a day anyhow pre gym and my performance halved when I stopped drinking it. That one cup is back and I'm back to full strength again with 3 hour sessions each day. Plus it tastes good so a win-win
Nice one, glad you have a system that works for you. 👍
Interesting
👀
No disrespect, but , where is the empirical data to confirm such conclusion, thanks.
So i should get jacked in the morning to get all my stressful work done and cruse in the evening and go to sleep when get tired
Got it
🤣 if that works for you
Or get a good restful deep sleep and use the natural energy and vitality to cruise through from awakening to sleeping. Then repeat.
Decaffinated?aid that ok
Good video.
Actually having adhd caffeine in small doses is beneficial.
There has been some study on this, haven’t had a deep dive on it yet. Thanks for watching
What if your English and are a custom to 10 cups of tea a day ?
🤣
Please don’t ruin coffee for me
🤣 still have the coffee, just monitor the caffeine if it’s becoming a necessity!
No, caffeine is fine…..mind your own business….
I'll wind my neck in 👀
Wake up and smell the coffee John. Your getting defensive because your a caffeine addict. It's become your crutch. Gabor Mate worlds best addiction expert says - not why the addiction but why the pain? Crutches are hiding the pain deep within.
I have no idea why you made this video as it so vague. I don’t know what you’re trying to gain from it.
I gave up caffeine for a year and found it to be a piece of piss to give up but have now introduced it back in. I personally Didn’t notice any change at all with regards to dips in energy throughout the day.
I think a video you should have perhaps made if that was the angle you were coming with regards to energy regulation is about the timing of carbs throughout the day as perhaps it is definitely not the caffeine that’s causing someone’s dip in energy or crash if they are having a coffee in the morning but will be however caused by the 2 sugars and milk in their coffee accompanied by a sugary bowl of cereal that will be responsible for a crash.
Insulin spikes throughout the day will be much more likely to cause an energy crash rather than a cup of coffee in the morning and there are a lot of health benefits linked to coffee so I
Would have much preferred to have seen a video on carb timing as someone’s energy who only consume protein and fats during the day (carbs at night) and drinks two cups of coffee a day (one in the morning, one at noon) is going to be alot more stable than someone who drinks no coffee and eats cereal bread and other carbs. They are far more likely to crash.
You mentioned that you’ll only be able to figure out how you truly feel if you come off caffeine which I found mental! Alot of how shit people feel is because of the foods that they are eating and can be figured out whilst still drinking coffee.
Anyway. That’s my two scents!
Thanks for the food for thought 👍
Nothing wrong with a few cups of coffee a day
Nothing at all, thanks for watching
Hey simon what g shock is that?
It's the Rangeman Blackout mate.
