- Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman reveals truth about caffeine and drinking coffee. Andrew Huberman tells about negative effects of caffeine and coffee on brain and body. Well-known neuroscientist explains how caffeine affects our thinking, sleep, health and well being.
As we know, coffee is one of the MOST consumed beverages in today's world. Caffeine is used by EVERYBODY, but people often forget about how it can impact your life negatively. It affects your ability to think, sleep and makes you far less likely to succeed at life in every aspect - especially health wise.
Andrew Huberman is an American neuroscientist and associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine who has made many contributions to the brain development, brain plasticity, and neural regeneration and repair fields.

I feel like everytime I'm scrolling through TH-cam there is a new huberman video telling me to stop doing yet another thing that I love 😅
He doesn't say stop drinking coffee, just drink 1 or 2 cups in the morning. If I drank coffee in the afternoon I would be up until the rooster crows
Exactly. He should do a collab with Dr. Berg
If you start watching any of the nutrition pseudo science on TH-cam, the algorithm will tell you to never eat again.
If pleasure is your only scope in life, then...you still have a long path to wisdom.

I guess that I’m ahead of my time. Caffeine free for 16 years. Best decision that I ever made. My anxiety melted away, and I’ve felt so much better overall since then. No alcohol for 17 years either. People look at me like an alien, but my life success speaks for itself. Both are crutches. Upper on the morning, downer in the evening. It’s total insanity. Throw those crutches out, and tackle life on your own power!
I’m into both, daily and love it.
I find both to be really enjoyable and smoke some pot every now and then too.
100% healthy and have run my own super successful business for decades.
Good on you. I was a 10/15 year heavy daily drinker of energy drinks like monster, rockstar and relentless, like up to 7 cans a day. Stopped fully 6 weeks ago and my life has taken a 180. I have been drinking them since I was 13 and I am now 28 so have never experienced life without some form of stimulant presence in my life. It's taken a long time to hit rock bottom and currently feeling incredible and motivated with where I am going in my future.
Congrats to you for what you achieved.
That’s inspiring! I’m 8 months alcohol free and 8 days caffeine free. So I’m you 16 years ago lol.
your success has nothing to do with being sober because I too have not drank coffee or alcohol and am in fact a very unsuccessful gentleman
Free for 7 weeks and still feel improvements. 👌
Last year in the summer I had quit caffeine cold turkey. I thought i was only going to withdraw for a week, some migraines the most. No, it was painful migraines I never experienced in my life before. My memory was terrible as I would forget the simplest thing which was scary, I had no appetite, could not stay awake throughout the day which felt like torture having to work, and as a woman had the worst menstrual cycles that I prayed just went back to normal. But as the weeks and months passed, i regained my memory, the migraines finally disappeared, i was actually able to sleep throughout the night and I could wake up and not feel groggy at all. My menstrual cycle are back to normal, and I could stay up all day without needing any coffee at all, not even tea. But take your vitamins!
I have the same experience. I can't believe the damage caffeine has done.
I was on 4-5 cups a day then quit cold turkey 12 months ago, headaches for a week while my blood vessels opened back up. Now I feel much more coherent and have better situational awareness (not fixated on single things). It's helped me scope out larger goals and get realistic about what my current trajectory is as well. Feels like a clear-head soberness. I highly recommend 6 months at least to anyone who feels like they are addicted.
Your blood vessels opened back up, huh? 🤔 🙄
@@jessekelly8132 Yes. "When caffeine is consumed regularly, the body becomes dependent on its effects. And because caffeine narrows the blood vessels that surround the brain, when consumption is stopped, the blood vessels enlarge. This causes an increase in blood flow around the brain and pressures surrounding nerves." ~ May Clinic
@@jessekelly8132yes he’s correct, consuming caffeine cause vasoconstriction in the blood vessels which restricts blood flow, when you stop.. you have what is called vasodilation (the opening of blood vessels)
The brain functions best and optimally with optimal blood flow, hence why he has better situational awareness and more scope.
Caffeine gives a spotlight focus
Caffeine is used and abused today in the western world, everyone is rushing round, caffeinated, motivated and jacked up to their eyeballs
Majority of people can’t even go a day without, it’s an addictive psychoactive drug that has negative neurological effects.
There are some positives, it’s not all bad. But my belief it should be used every so often and not everyday
Yeah you were just dehydrated buddy, some electrolytes and you’d of had no symptoms.
@@jackwaite4035 haha no way dude I was drinking plenty of water trust me, look into the side effects of going off cold turkey its a real, well-documented thing
I've been listening to him for awhile and here is what I've gotten.
Intermittent fast until the afternoon.
Work out in the morning if you can.
Drink lots of water and get good sleep.
Dont drink caffeine until you've been awake at least 2 hours.
Also: Don’t turn to screen time upon waking or near bed time…
yet here I am at 9pm .. must wake at 3:30am… watching a video about caffeine even though I quit coffee a year ago. Bright side: thanks to Huberman I’ve given up alcohol as of last week.
You forgot the sunlight first thing in the morning
What is with working out in the morning? Im doing it in the afternoon so I am curious.
You can also drink coffe without caffeïne. A perfect one for me.
Except if you want get ripped, you should eat carbs as early as possible...
I didn't believe it, until I cut caffeine out.
A lot, (not all,) but a lot of my depression has lifted. My anxiety from being around people is cut down. My anger/rage is down.
I'm not exactly mellow, of course, but I'm nowhere near the angry and frightened person I was. And I don't beat myself up in my head as much, too.
Thanks, for this video!
Nope in moderation it's great for you cleanses the liver , stimulates the bowels , fights diabetes , improves thinking . Two small cups a day , not black .
Well I've stopped for like a month or 2 and I'm exactly the same person unfortunately lol.
what i needed to hear.
He’s not even saying to cut caffeine out he’s just saying to wait 90 minutes and don’t break your fast in the morning with it and to eat and hydrate first
same, I rage a lot before. Now I am more chill.
I quit caffeine on the 12th of April. Second best decision next to quitting alcohol in 2012.
Both of those decisions would pale in comparison if you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior. I pray you have! God bless. :)
Happy one year!
Explain
How ?
Me too.
Andrew Huberman's ability to communicate to the general viewers level in unreal. We could listen to this dude talk about the brain for days because he isn't trying to talk over our heads. Great video!
Coffee makes me so nervous and shaky, I don't drink it.Also messed up tummy. I still love it though.
Yeah, another rant about quitting things somehow 99% of the population ingest and are completely fine. Oh hur dur, "drinking 10 coffees a day is bad for you" no shit, it's not like it hasn't been a known fact for almost 100 years now.
Guess what, anything in excess is bad for you. You don't need this guy to tell you that. Have some common sense for Christ sake.
Not really lol.
Not me, dude uses WAY to many words, likes to hear himself bump his gums.
@@lindadavis5668 look up for low acidity coffee beans. Also practice a friendly conversation with yourself about how feel about any topic that pop up in your mind. you will overcome tons of things and feel calmer and also busier with relevant you. God bless you.
I used to drink 5-6 double shot coffees everyday and just could not keep myself awake. I cut it out cold turkey and was REALLY tired and felt like shit for a whole week. after that I was sleeping perfectly. was totally awake and anytime I felt like I needed a coffee I would get a glass of water and walk around outside for 5 mins. I felt so much better after just one week i've stayed away from it other than a coffee with someone to enjoy as a treat and not a tool. biggest change i've ever made and it was so simple.
Same
I'm a friend, need to cut back.
@@jameshill6653 try cutting it out completely for a bit. Can always go back to it. You will be amazed by the results.
Dang, that's a lot of caffeine intake to cut cold 🦃. Good for you though. My head would have exploded since I get a horrible headache if I only have 1 of 2 cups of my daily coffee.
@@jctbay yeah I got bad headaches but if I chugged water it would go away fairly quickly but everyone is different
I quit caffeine cold turkey 3 months ago. I am 53 and had been drinking coffee daily for over 30 years. For the first month it was hard to get going but now I feel better than I have in decades. I am totally awake first thing in the morning and have steady energy all day. I sleep so much better also...
Well that is some inspiration. I really love coffee.
Same! I cut caffeine basically cold turkey and cut back on processed sugar. I feel like a completely different person and my sleep improved as well. Keep up the good work!
That's interesting to hear.. Sounds silly but my coffee addiction makes my life hell... Really wanna quit.
*Sausage 🌭Face*
100% same experience. I had steady energy all day instead of a few hours of productivity followed by a crash. I’m back on coffee but I need to get off again. I feel like garbage until I get coffee in the morning. I am addicted for sure, complete with headaches if I don’t drink coffee within 24hrs.
@Sausage Face Not silly at all. Just try and cut back if you can. You can even ween your self off of it. Doesn't need to be cold turkey. Start Mixing in decaffeinated coffee Until you get to an entire cup of decaffeinated coffee. That's what I am drinking. I still love coffee and I still love the taste. But I don't have the effects of the caffeine. No afternoon crashes, My anxiety in upset stomach is gone also. I quit energy drinks as well. But if you really want to do it you gotta check the labels on sodas Because there's a lot of sodas you wouldn't think we'll have caffeine in it but it really does. And if you're a tea drinker make sure you look at that.
I got an auto immune disease at age 25. Interstitial cystitis or Chronic Badder Pain Syndrome. I had been drinking coffee since I was 10. I had to get off all caffeine. Almost was fired after nodding off at a client meeting . lol. Anyway I can’t imagine being on that roller coaster now, 43 years later. I genuinely have steady energy and rest when tired. My skin looks young for my age. All I’ve drank for 43 years is spring water.
10?! That’s crazy, I didn’t have caffeine until 16 and I thought that was early
I quit caffeine about two months ago. It is by far the best decision I have made in a long time. I finally feel like I'm actually rested from sleep. It feels so good to sleep hard. I also started taking gaba. Mostly to see if it would help ease my tinnitus. It hasn't, but dang it makes me dream like crazy. Never could remember dreaming at all. I love dreaming now. It's actually entertaining, and I remember them all.
You mention tinnitus, it is such a " work in progress " isn't it, gotta try things in a consistent and calm, low expectation approach because we know how worse it makes it when there's pressure.
Good luck man, we can reduce it and I'm positive that we can get rid of it or make it so minimal it becomes nothing.
These weeks I'm trying some high frequency sounds found here on youtube. I'm sure without tinnitus it sounds like torture lol, amazingly it stops my tinnitus for 20 minutes or so after a session, and reduces it for hours, I'm gonna check with professionnals if it's harmless on the long run though.
Try Mind Lab Pro 4.0 or you can get same ingredient separately. This is what I do. However I know people who got loads of benefits from it.
I gave up all caffeine two weeks ago and I feel more regulated and happier.
I quit, I feel and sleep better. Caffeine barrows energy from the future and gives it to you now. It's like a form of credit. I went bankrupt.
Well put.
Exactly
Perfect turn of phrase, you've spelled it out to a T.
same
Yes thank you me too, do you drink tea instead?
I just dropped coffe last week, and found this today. My anxiety is down and my sleep is much better. And shocker I am more awake when I wake up.
I got sick and didn’t have caffeine for a few days so decided to cut it out completely and feel better. The quality of my sleep has improved and I feel less anxious. I never thought I would cut out caffiene.
Even you women suffer from caffeine
First panic attack during my 50s horrible feeling. I was a coffeeholic so I went cold turkey because I was motivated by reading that caffeine can trigger anxiety attacks. After a month, zero anxiety but no more coffee.
that’s cool
exactly the reason why I switched over to tea. Its a much more enjoyable energy source and get zero anxiety from it. Its also gotten a bit expensive though since I have experimented a lot with different oolongs and green teas and they can get quite pricey. Lately been drinking a nice cup of matcha every morning. Most peaceful morning ritual I could adapt to
I have the same issue. You can try coffe without cafine. Perfect solution for me. There is some very small percentage of cafine in it. But it wont trigger anxiety or agitation.
So you drank coffee all your youth and then suddenly at 50 you get this symptom? Sounds oretty far fetched it was caused by coffee
@@jeffrey5602 most of tea has cafeine. Some more than coffee and some less
I stopped drinking coffee as caffeine made me feel anxious all the time.5 months caffeine free and I feel so much better for stopping.
I stopped caffeine years ago. What I discovered is you only need caffeine because you started using caffeine in the first place. With good diet and exercise, my energy comes on its own. I also regularly fast 20 hours which is great for consistent energy and no crashes of constantly eating / blood sugar all over the place
This guy is a genius. This channel showed up on my youtube homepage. I have learned so much from Andrews podcasts, a wealth of information. Everything is so well explained .
I quit caffeine, Adderall, and sugar a year ago after I retired from 20 years of military service. My workouts and energy have exploded. I'm PTing like I'm in my early 20s in my early 40s!
Be doing that beyond mid-50's, then you're golden.
So you've retired and your energy levels exploded?
Tremendous.
Coffee is my pre workout go to Maynard
Caffeine is so abundant in the military. It’s strange to not drink it
@@samwelltayrlor it's lifer's juice
Loved coffee so much that I had to Quit. The underlying problem was alcohol addiction, the trigger was coffee and the stabilizer was weed😅. Basically take coffee, get work sorted, no sleep and I am thinking a shot of whiskey ought to get me to sleep( before u know it, it's a couple and am out). Weed every time I feel like am panicky etc.
Two months sober now, loving it.
Gotta regulate y'all. Love from Uganda 🇺🇬
Caffeine is addictive. A lot of people can't stop drinking because of addiction. Besides, they seem to live until 90 years old
with no problems in my house. I like to see a study published on the claim that coffee is detrimental. My grandfather drank
coffee and also lived to be 102 yrs.
It’s not about drinking coffee, but about the amount of it
Im addicted to lovin training....
As addictions go, it's one of the better ones. You'll never plow your car into a family of five and spend the rest of life in prison because of coffee. The guy who sells you coffee will never pull a gun on you or send goons to collect on a debt. The cops will never search your car for coffee, find it and take you to jail. You'll never wake up in the same bed as the ugliest girl in the world with bruises you don't know how you got because of coffee.
@@JongaLife Same like anything else!

Quit coffee about 10 years ago. I didn’t actually think it was a problem for me, even though I was sipping it all day. I just didn’t like the idea of being dependent on a drink for energy. Tapered down to zero over 6 months. If I tried to go faster I got bad headaches. At the end I got a big, happy surprise - I realized the IBS I’d had for decades was gone! Changed my life.
what coffee did you drink?Coffee and real coffee are different subjects!Freshly roasted quality beans ,grinned just before brewing extracted with right amount of pressure and temperature,is not about energy!Coffee has so many different flavors ,notes ,Full of antioxidants!But instant,already grinned,not quality coffee is just packed with bad ''coffee '' with zero flavors,tastes and benefits.Same like processed foods and home cocked!
damn i should try
sounding like a real addict @@001jozef
I'm not saying you should do the same, but I simply quit caffeine. I wanted to see what would happen. At the beginning it was HELL. Now, 7 months in, I can have a cup of coffee at an event or something like that, but I don't want nor need it. And my life has improved massively. I am this chill and zen person I never knew I had in me.
That’s where I want to get. Be able to enjoy it as a treat once in a while but not crave it constantly. On day 5 no caffeine
"The Ugly Truth about Content Creators who use the words Ugly and Truth way too much..."
And yet here you are. Don't you have a Jake or Logan Paul video to be spewing this negativity. You're toxic
Bingo 👑
My philosophy has always been to intake less caffeine when I haven’t slept well and more when I have. People always said I was crazy for this but huberman just said that’s how you should do it
First cup of coffee in the morning is a spiritual experience.
If it’s good coffee ☕️ even more so.
Hippies
@jmcdaniel0809 no, not hippies, Americans. Coffee became the American drink of choice because we didn't want to drink tea like the redcoats. That's basically why coffee became popular in America from day one.
@@Tyler_W Yes. I also imagine since the caffeine content is much higher that’s why it also became more appealing! I never thought about it the way you said tho! So true history wise!
It wasn’t meant to be taken too seriously my friend
I avoid caffeine like a plague. I find a large glass of water first thing in the morning wakes my body up in a healthier way.
I quit coffee last December 2022, proud of myself.
chocolate? energy drinks? All have caffeine.
@@adam2178 I don't eat chocolates nor drink energy drinks anymore. I drink tea but the decaf variant, I steep it for 1 minute only and I put it a 1tsp of honey.
Push back caffiene intake 2 hours in the morning and the crash will happen 2 hours later in the day...wow...science! Glad we had him to explain this.
My 2023 New Year's resolution, quit all caffeine. Has been great after getting through the rough first few weeks. Withdrawal symptoms were there but bearable. I thought I could have 1 cup of coffee about 16 days in, but it gave me the most awful splitting headache for 3 days. Am well past that now and feeling better and better. I'll always understand why people love coffee, as I used to absolutely love it. But for me it's in the rear view mirror now and for the better.
You have to understand why plants produce caffeine in the first place. They produce it to act as a toxic pesticide. We know 1) it repels and harms insects and 2) it prevents seed germination of other plants. Caffeine in coffee plant seeds make the ground around them sterile and other plant seeds cannot compete. Then caffeine in the plants leaves and stems (in less concentration than the seeds) protect the plant from hungry insects.
Now it just so happens that we humans enjoy the stimulating effects and some of the other physiological changes that come from consuming caffeine. But it's a mild form of poisoning ourselves in order to obtain those effects. What Huberman describes, the dehydration, the sleep disturbance, even the elevated liver enzymes! etc... doesn't go into the long term problems that consuming caffeine can induce. I believe they are severe.
Now I'll go out on a limb and do what scientists hate but natural thinkers always do, which is to relate my personal experience (anecdotal evidence) on the subject. The list of items below are things I intuitively know were associated to my caffeine cessation. After about 3 days I felt a pulsation in the lower left abdomen (heart side, my left), it should be roughly where the high end of the pancreas is. Almost immediately after stopping caffeine my hair began to thin significantly faster than prior (I'm 52 and there's been a very small amount of hair thinning). I looked into this and there are other reports of people's hair thinning when quitting coffee. Now 29 days into the quit, the thinning is slowly reversing. The intense headache I experienced was just above the bridge of the nose, where the pineal gland would be. I suffer from chronic sinusitis which I am convinced is fungal in nature but few American ENTs are interestedin investigating or diagnosing this. My feeling about coffee relationship with fungal sinusitis is that it's a double edged sword. In addition to it's other toxic properties, caffeine is a fungicide and it may have had a prophylactic effect on my sinusitis at some times, but over the long term it is too inflammatory. I feel it's going to improve my sinusitis to eliminate caffeine. Going off base about fungal sinusitus... the only real cure is to move away from a locality with high earthborne and airborne mold spore volumes...
Lastly, my skin is getting softer (which you would expect from eliminating a dehydrating agent) and after 3 to 4 weeks of highly unstable energy levels (frequent lows or blah blah moods), my energy level is much higher and more consistent than it was when I was a coffee drinker.
Caffeine in small amounts is beneficial. Keep in mind at the beginning of the video he said he used to consume 4 grams!!! Remember, everything in moderation.
@@truthskr7127 Moderation means not every single day. I only drank one cup a day for 15 years and began having colon problems and had to stop.
May I ask, how many cups of coffee did you consume a day?
@@leemojo3606 , I drank 1 cup per day. It's not a lot, but enough that I would feel some negative effects over a long time (years).
@@tkmair6559 hmmm .. interesting I'm on one or two cups of day.... The same as me, I know it's not a lot of caffeine but I was wondering about the long term effects on my health as I've been drinking for about 30 years.... I think it's time for me to call it a day with the caffeine.
Having going through many darkest times in my life by myself, coffee are my friend. My only friend.
I've stumbled into this caffeine delay habit in the last few months by listening to my body after having a protein shake at breakfast. Suddenly I realised that I didn't feel like the coffee until around 11.00 am. Now I'm drinking one to two espressos a day. Feeling better, and sleeping better for it, too.
Get 7-8 hours of sleep and make drinking water your new favorite hobby. That’s the best way to fight back against feeling tired all the time. Caffeine just burns up your reserves and your only hurting yourself.
I was addicted to caffeine for years. I would consume anywhere from 500mg-1000mg/day depending on the day. I developed such a tolerance to it and it’s effects started to become significantly diminished. I’ve quit caffeine for a month and I feel 10x better than I did when I was compulsively consuming caffeine. The main thing I’ve noticed is sleep. I’m an insomniac (I was an insomniac way before my caffeine addiction) and I noticed that I’ve been getting the best sleep I’ve gotten in years. I fall asleep much quicker and the quality of my sleep has drastically improved. I think I’m officially done with caffeine. I’ve just realized that for someone like me, the cons outweigh the pros.
Do u go to the gym, ever do any cardio? Also, do u cook your food or eat out all the time. These may be causes of strife...
I quit for 2 years. Then a coworker started making coffee with beans they ground themselves and it smells so good that I went back and I am so sorry I did. I significantly feel different and much more anxious. I'm trying to quit now but I go two days without it and then relapse. It also appears to be a gateway drug to sugar for me.
Funny how they said anything over 400 mg would kill you and you obviously transcended that. Placebo effect at work here.
@@kunalkhanna985 would cardio be linked to not being able to sleep ? Every time I do cardio I’m unable to sleep
@@Jvvii don't do any exercise 4 hours before you sleep
May 25th of 2001 was the last caffeinated drink I had. Was diagnosed with epilepsy earlier in the year and I noticed caffeine triggered my seizures. Quit caffeine immediately.
This is interesting. I drink a cup of coffee after a small glass of water when I wake. I got in the habit of having another cup after lunch along with a couple of handfuls of m&m’s. I would already be full but still would feel the need for this. Later, I would feel sick. I am beginning to think I just had too much caffeine and on top of being full from lunch…I’m going to try going back to 1 cup a day in morning and that’s it. Sometimes if I decide on a 2nd cup in late morning, I can almost start feeling the sick feeling coming on me & I don’t drink anymore. I am so grateful to hear about this. Thank you Andrew! 😊
I like the philosophy and science he talks about acceptance and using caffeine and stimulants as a motivator that is actually exhausting because you are forcing yourself to go after things you think you need versus just accepting where you are and naturally doing things for yourself because you really want them and don’t need that external energy motivation.
Isn’t this just called life though?
My mom drank coffee every day for most of her life and she lived to be 93 years old.
She was supposed to live 50 years more! Jk
@@crissdarkk ~ She was ready to die. For the last ten years of her life she was miserable with allergies and heart problems and she had very little energy. During those last ten years she used to say: "They're making us live too long." I bet I heard her say that fifty times during that ten year period.
@@jimyost2585 sorry about that, reality can be ruthless, I was just joking, and yeah I agree with her if your quality of life is low you shouldn't be forced to live, dying is a natural and necessary process, dying is a good, but we are alive and no reason to worry about the dead we will all have time for that, so lets live and care about the living cheer up bro for life has a lot to offer
Fact;
Those who drink the most coffee have the longest life expectancy and the lowest chance of dying from all causes

I went to Puerto Rico with my Spanish club. We took a boat excursion but had to ride in a van for 1.5 to the dock to get there. The night before one lady said the tour company they would have coffee and pastries once we got to the dock. She mentioned it several times on the van ride. The tour company didn’t have any bud she finally found some, which made her the last person on the boat. Returning at 3pm the van had to wait until she found the place with coffee again. Her caffeine addiction runs her life. I only drink water, the best I can find.
When I was in basic training we all got one last cup of coffee on day one. We all watched each other as that stuff wore off and seen how dependent we can be on it. How irritable it can make you, to a point of almost violent.
Coffee is amazing, it's something that can keep you going a couple extra hours and stay alert. However, just like everything, it should be limited with intake
At ft Benning the last day we were allowed to have caffeine, or nicotine was the day before we shipped out
Yep, same here.
@@Legio1Italica Did most people take these substances again and how long was this period of abstinence?
@@jaysimpson6857 the first thing they did out of osut was the substances
@@Legio1Italica How long did you have to go without?
something I did which solved my problems with coffee is, I now put in half coffee, half cocoa into the cup. cutting much of the caffeine and replacing it with theobromine I've noticed is much better than having a straight cup of either coffee or cocoa, neither drug is in excess and both are stimulants. the coca helps mitigate some of the downsides of the coffee also like for lowering cholesterol, opening the blood vessels and etc.
thankyou for your insight!
Same! I got into cocoa powder for the blood flow benefits. And it makes the cup rich and flavorful, so you're not drinking weak nastiness. For those who want to try, we're talking about straight cocoa powder, not Swiss Miss!
I started drinking water first thing when I wake up. Then about an hour later I'll have coffee. I do tend to drink it in excess at work (diesel mechanic). I drink it black or with a dash of cream. Definitely makes me feel better waiting to drink the coffee.
I feel convicted! For long time I have been trying to quit Coffee since, sure it’s not helping my health or financial situation. I will succeed!
My cousin died from bladder cancer that spread throughout his vital organs. He drank 5g of caffeine from his coffee daily . He also held in his piss while commuting, sometimes for hours until he got home. He did this for a couple decades. 95% of all coffee on planet earth are sprayed w pesticides and some smuggled beans are sprayed w worse chemicals and are mixed into big companies beans. We all believe there is a correlation w his diagnosis and coffee consumption. He wasn’t a junk food eater, hardly drank, and never did drugs besides coffee.
Yeah...
I think the bigger issue here is holding in your piss for hours. If that was consistent, you are bound to damage your bladder. I held my piss in because I had to for like 3 minutes when I needed to pee BAD and that already was super uncomfortable for my bladder. Imagine doing that for hours consistently.
5 grams is INSANE. That's 5000mg. The strongest drinks you can buy only have 300mg. That's 16 of the strongest possible drinks you can buy (aside from some coffee shops that dish you 64oz coffees, these are 16oz cans). Who can afford to drink 5000mg a day.. Even if you go the cheapest route, making your own cups at home that's 55 cups of coffee. A standard bag of coffee would brew aprox 20 cups. Almost three bags of coffee a day!!??
@@vanjam412Must've been a typo. I rubbed my eyes when I saw 5g... even energy drinks are typically like 80-200mg a can
The reason I quit drinking coffee is, it was affecting my gums (receding) and other acidic drinks like sodas, orange juice, etc. My sleep was always f$#@ up too. It took three months to get my body back to normal, gums regrowing, and I sleep like a teen.
Yeeeesssss
gums can regrow?
nope! you can always get surgery by a gum specialist dentist. @@clintgroom8213
@@clintgroom8213 Yes, dudes that regrow their gums are known as Gumer Pyle. 🥴
I switched morning caffeine with an electrolyte drink in the morning and i feel so much energized and awesome throughout the day.
Which one?

i hve quit caffeine for something like 10 years ago. After i read an article that, caffeine increases energy but lowers creativity. In other words, it gives you lower quality energy. The article also says that caffeine cause you an energy debt, as the energy that the caffeine gives you is taken from your reserve energy, so you need to pay this energy back to your reserves.
I quit several times for about 3 month, but always started again, sadly. Sleep is so much better without any caffeine. I may at least reduce my dosage, when back from the trip.
I am so sure that one day they will say being alive is bad for your health.
Well it is! It involves so many aches and pains and then a slow death. It's very bad 😅
Lol true
Some studies say that being alive is a 100% risk factor for death.
Really think everything is about moderation even poison. Even moderating being too moderate at times gotta let loose! time and place for everything is how I see it.
It Is.... All depending upon your location at the time.
Ended up in ER with gastritis. Coffee had to go. Cold turkey. Day 3 head hurts but I'm way less anxious and starting to improve my gastritis
Star the day at 3:45am with 32oz of water with apple cider vinegar. Used to just have water. But, for some reason, I don't understand, since adding the vinegar in having very positive bms in the morning. Around 6-6:30 a.m., I'll have an espresso. That's been very good so far for me.
This is so good to know, we love coffee but moderation is key.
I don't love coffee
I think it also depends on your lifestyle, stress level and also your diet..my parents drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day and they’re in their 80’s very healthy, happy and so energetic, they still walk to the mall about 20mins, instead of driving.. They always tell us to not over stress, balance work and leisure times, eat natural and not processed food, mostly plant base and some fish and meat, and be active everyday, whether just going for brisk walks or play badminton etc..
I wonder how many of these people that have quit caffeine have felt so much better because they aren’t drinking as much added sugar and the chemicals in energy drinks. I drink my coffee black and avoid energy drinks. I have an active job so I fall asleep early
I agree. So many people don’t think about the sugar intake. I only drink maximum of 2 coffees a day and only in the morning, sometimes only one. I don’t feel stressed. I’m not dependent on it, and I don’t drink with sugar
@@april_Very true, we need to see the overall change.
Maybe they stopped something else and/or started something healthier. Could be a total change of breakfast for example, with no coffee but also no very sugary stuff associated with it by habit.
There's also the placebo effect. How many people do it convinced that they're doing themselves a favor which is what starts a positive cycle. As when you eat a very good healthy meal, you feel better though technically it takes weeks of intakes for vitamines etc to build up, but the feel good sensation is almost instaneous.
The cheer will of acting on something you think is controlling you, has a benefit.
Yet for people relaxed and balanced about it, there is no issue to begin with.
4 weeks caffeine clean
WOW! I used to drink up to 12 cups a day, don't know how many grams that is, don't know how to figure that out even. Now I drink about 3 cups a day, none later than 2 p.m. I always feel great. My biggest concern is that coffee fills me up and so I don't eat so much. I can't afford to lose weight but I have always slept without issue. Thanks for sharing.
I stopped drinking coffee for almost a year and it's the best thing I ever done . I felt like the coffee is something I must to have . And I couldnt pass a day without it , but now I feel way much better without it (it took me sometime to get use to it but it's totally worth it !)
You switched to energy drinks? Or are you talking about simply caffeine
@@censorshipleadstothenwo1237 i am talking about caffine:) well i guess switching to energy drink its like i havent done anything or even worst haha
I'm 30 years old and have never drunk a cup of coffee. I'm so glad I don't rely on it to have energy and go about my day. As long as I get a decent night's sleep I feel great the next day most of the time.
I bet your one of those who has never tried drugs either?
@@moorshound3243 everyone should try 5 dried grams in silent darkness. It’s life changing.
wow (unimaginable) good for you
🤯
Come back when you're 45 and let us know if you changed your mind.
I drink 2 cups of coffee with some honey every day and yes I do get the afternoon crash almost everyday. The second one is around 4-5 pm in the evening. I've noticed that my sleep at night is hugely disturbed. Sometimes I can't sleep until 4 and I'm up at 7:30. I'm gonna cut out my 2nd cup to see if it makes a difference.
How'd your coffee reduction go?? For me, I hit the wall on the negatives of caffeine a few days ago, and decided then and there to measure out the beans to less than 1/2 my normal, and to have only ONE of these (rather than that 'second cup'). I later found some high quality organic decaf beans at my local, and now have one 'cup' of coffee, which is less than half caffeinated.
Next stop is to cut back more . . . but have to say, I felt SO much better simply cutting back in half. And realize the negatives as to sleep and irritability, this coffee biz is a racket.
I wonder what there's left to sip on at a coffee shop on a Saturday, that can approximate the excuse for paying $3.50 for a tiny shot of something. What used to be a great reason to hang out/socialize/catch up on news . . .
@@eugeniebreida1583. I mostly drink instant coffee (mostly Nescafe) so as to not going through hassle of grinding my own beans. I checked the back label to see how much caffeine goes in a serving and it said it's 30-35 mg which I thought isn't much but apparently it was atleast for me. Maybe I'm just too caffeine sensitive? So yeah, cutting out the second cup was a huge improvement. Sleep comes in like 5-10 minutes now. I've been trying everything to improve my sleep including going to the gym in the evening to feel exhausted by night but cutting out something as small as a second cup did help. Cheers! ✌️
just cut all caffeine after couple of week you have the energy of drinking coffee all day long without caffeine@@crowbar3
Made the switch from coffee to matcha over a month ago. Never looking back. If I need my fix of coffee it’s decaffeinated. Worth the try if you haven’t already.
I’ve never felt as awake since I’ve quit drinking coffee regularly. Now I drink it only from time to time ,when I’m really tired and need a boost or just for the taste. I feel energetic throughout the day and a lot more awake generally speaking .
According to the Patty Mayonnaise clinic:
Up to 400 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults. That's roughly the amount of caffeine in four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola or two "energy shot" drinks.
And he said he was drinking 3 to 4 grams, which is up to 10 times that amount. It wasn't necessarily the caffeine that was the problem for him, it was the sheer abundance of it. Caffeine, in moderation, is fine, but the amount he was drinking was absolutely insane.
As someone who runs blood tests on fit males often, those “Liver enzymes” are found in muscle too. Men who workout rigorously will get micro tears in muscle fibers which releases those enzymes into blood. It’s not always liver.
Is rigorous workout bad?
Are those the same enzymes one might get from tissue destruction from an autoimmune disease which attacks similar tissue to muscle?
@@eugeniebreida1583 I’m referring to ALT AST. Which can go up with autoimmune destruction. But the enzymes tested for autoimmune are ones like creatine kinase or LDH. And these too can go up with hard workouts.
Interesting... thanks for the info
I have always been a heavy coffee drinker. I start by splitting a large pot with my husband and switch to iced partway through the day. I had elevated liver enzymes on my last blood work (which was over 3 years ago) and they didn’t know why. They assumed I drank alcohol regularly-which I never have. They were stumped as to why they would be so high.
Fast forward to now, carnivore for almost 4 months, still drinking a lot of coffee. I have noticed I get lightheaded and have a foggy brain some days, sometimes it gets so bad I feel like I’m going to faint. I started drinking at least 1/2-1 packet of LMNT daily and the days I forget to drink it are the days when I get those symptoms back. I am also pretty good about drinking water-nothing crazy, but I’m not dehydrated due to lack of water.
My husband, who is also carnivore for the same amount of time as me drinks coffee as well, but he doesn’t have the same issues as me.
Interesting!
The coffee is making you feel like crap for sure! That’s what it does to me
I love coffee, always have. But over the years, I have learned my body and years ago I learned to drink a couple glasses of water when I first wake up and waiting 2-3 hours to have a small cup of coffee. I feel better the less coffee I drink. And I have slowly been learning more and more that reinforces that I am making a much better choice.
I think most of the insomnia problems we have now are derived from coffee. Even one cup of morning coffee had caused me some sleep issues.
Yeah my 23 and me genetic test says it takes me 48 hours to full detox caffeine and I think it’s spot on
@@wread1982 I think I’m the same, are you caffeine sensitive too?
Me too. Which is why his advice to just avoid drinking it past 3PM and you won't have problems is bullshit. He's still a caffeine addict, he's just more of a functioning addict than when it was giving him elevated LFT's.
@@BookClubDisaster Coffee is not an addiction. It can get a bad habit. And the not after 3 - 4 pm rule is true for a lot of people. You might be more sensitive. Which means IF you ever have to drive during night, half a cup of coffee should do the trick for you.
I love being an adult and finding ALL learning fun. I can absorb anything these days. I don’t even care about the subject much, just learning. I’m glad my brain still likes me after all of the neglect lol. 🤟🏻🤟🏻 Anyone else feel like this?
I love being an adult and getting excited when getting socks, undies, shirts and shorts as presents...learning is fun too..
No, I stay away from the hard shit.
Cultivate your own wisdom through solitude, meditation and silence. ❤
There will come a day, but do what you need to, to sleep well. THAT MIGHT NOT BE EASY LATER ON.
Totally identify
7:15 I'm a big coffee and tea person, but I've developed over sensitivity to caffeine and this is exactly the same that I've noticed from my own experience as well. If I haven't slept well and drink coffee, it's like I just get the jitters, the rapid heart beat and the anxiety, but still feel tired; If I've slept well and have my coffee I'm not bothered by any of those and can achieve focus and be more productive.
How often would you say is good to have coffee a week? I have 1-2 (mainly 2 cups a week). I have one on Thursday morning and the other on Saturday morning and makes me feel great. Want you think? Could I do 3 days a week? I have coffee this much because I don’t want to make myself need it and get “withdrawal” or whatver it’s called (which is why I don’t drink one cup one day and then one the next morning, as I feel that would make me sleepy if I didn’t have it the next day.
@@Sabersect2022 I think you'll just have to test and figure it out for yourself. For me, I have coffee pretty much every day, but I've had times being a week or two without coffee with little to no withdrawal symptoms. I might get a slight headache second or third day, but it passes quickly and doesn't even last the whole day.
I think the only way to find out what works for your body is to experiment. One good tip, if you want to be thorough, is to write things down. How much coffee and how did that make you feel, maybe even how you felt before it. One's own memory can be quite fallible at these kinds of things.
@@Naegimaggu haha yeah I agree with what you said in the last part. And yeah thank you appreciate it I’ll of this
Coffee sucks and can be shit quality try green tea
Same !
I became a LADA diabetic 5 years ago. I have my blood sugars within normal range by giving up 'bad' foods. The only item that I have stuck with is my morning coffee and it spikes my blood sugar tremendously and I know I need to get off it. I need to switch to a good alternative like caffeine - free tea, yet I am having a horrible time going through it. I'm reading the comments below and it is giving my motivation.
I'm 34 years old. I understood at 21 years old that coffee and alcohol would affect my life negatively in different ways. Never drank either of those since then. 'My life my choice and happy to walk that road.
I like to listen to Andrew, the way he shares his knowledge through podcasts is just amazing.
Most complex description of the main and side effects of coffee/coffein so far. Short term, long term, bodily effects and effects on the psychology. Well done.
No mention of caffeine stimulating cortisol production or that it causes acid reflux to some
@@nonzenz Yes. Especially the acid reflux is often concealed. When horsewhisperer Monty Roberts had his very first coffee during a rodeo show he had to vomit. So he never again drank coffee. And when my mother gave my cancer suffering father only coffee for breakfast before driving to the doctor, my father vomited during the drive and during the examination. Some people will never learn.
Coffee consumption is overly praised. But here you see some deeper effects that are not mentioned in most discussions.
@@varelion I have personal experience myself I have never actually vomited but most of the time felt like I was about to and had to "keep it down" if you understand... At first I thought it was the cigarettes so I quit those but it persisted. I came across a youtube where It all finally made sense. And now I see it everywhere.
I thought its normal to feel so tired when waking up in the morning. Boy what a surprise it was when after abstaining from coffee I felt ok and no sleepiness during day at all.
To be honest, I have been drinking coffee for close to 60 years and got to the point that I see no difference in my life...2-3 cups a day, feels good at whatever time.
Yeah you probably have 150-225mg per day….meanwhile the know it all dork presenting the video said he was on 3000-4000mg per day….the guy is an idiot…
he said he was ingesting 3-4 grams of caffeine a day. thats basically 30-40 cups of coffee
Do you use sugar in your coffee?
I have a light cappuccino in the morning only. Initially, I was having them strong (for my body) and experiencing increased anxiety and heart arrythmia. Now I have it light alongside a glass of water. Hydration is essential. I should drink more lol.
If caffeines the worst drug you take you’re in good shape. Just don’t drink 12 cups a day.
VERY PROFOUND-ED SIR. What he's saying may not mean a lot to everyone but everything he said is valuable to those who are always scared/conscious/alert/war-inflicted/stressed/working in security dept./grieving/etc. THE HEART OR THE BLOOD PRESSURE will compensate for the activation of the PSNS( which constricts the blood vessels and blocks the lymphatic flow) YOU CAN WEAR OUT YOUR HEART OR VESSELS AND THEYRE IRREPAIRABLE. It will lead to sickness. Thank you sir
Right,maybe,but life can kill you even without coffee.
Caffeine helps me greatly with my adhd and autism symptoms. I try to keep my coffee intake at two cups a day. In the morning
Why don't you stop right away?
Agreed to what is said. I dropped my coffee intake down to 1 to 2 cups in the day before 10am and holy smokes the difference its made. I've been getting the best sleep ever, falling asleep without even trying and staying asleep
Mr Huberman is a brilliant man. He is someone everyone should listen to. I never had a cup of coffee until I turned 65yrs old.. just to see what it tasted like. I've seen so many people addicted to the stuff growing up, I chose not to drink it.. Seems like I made a good choice. I also chose not to drink alcohol when I turned 21...another good choice.
I never get sick and most people like I am 15-20 yrs younger than my age. Health is all about the choices you make.
Amazing given how ubiquitous coffee and alcohol are. Congratulations for making such choices while young and sticking to that for decades. That's kind of over the top.
He’s so “brilliant” he was oblivious to the fact he was taking 3000-4000mg per day?? That’s mental handicap stuff
@milesstover3724 He's also just lying. That's beyond the threshold for lethal dose, and there's quite literally no way he did that at all let alone only experienced heightened liver enzymes.
Fantastic choice if you also want to live a boring life.
i was drunk once in high school and felt horrible. Never drank after that and also my mother never let us drink coffee so I never started. To me the fragrance of coffee is wonderful but the taste is bitter. I do not ever drink coffee or alcohol and I have tons of energy and people usually think I am at least 15 years younger. I saved a lot of $$ too by not drinking alcohol. Also I do fine at parties and people rarely suspect that I am sober. I know how to have a good time without being drunk or stoned.
Fun fact drinking too much water can be toxic and kill you.
BTW I drink a cup of coffee every morning and last blood test I had done that checked all levels for a baseline was impeccable.
I get your point but you're talking a large amount like 4-6 water bottles in a short time period. Nobody sane will do that cause your stomach will feel like exploding
Thanks for your honesty no more energy drinks and prework out or Fat Burners for me. ❤
"My first impression was a very strong one," repeated the prince. "When they took me away from Russia, I remember I passed through many German towns and looked out of the windows, but I didn't trouble myself to ask questions about them. This was after a long series of fits. I would always fall into a sort of torpid condition after such a series, losing my memory almost entirely. Even though I wasn't entirely without reason during these times, I lacked the logical power of thought. This would continue for three or four days, and then I would recover myself again. I remember my melancholy was intolerable; I felt inclined to cry, sat and wondered uncomfortably. The consciousness that everything was strange weighed heavily upon me; I could understand that it was all foreign and unfamiliar. I recall waking up from this state for the first time in Basle one evening; the braying of coffee woke me up, coffee in the town market. I saw the coffee and was extremely pleased with it. From that moment on, my mind seemed to clear."
"Coffee? How strange! Yet, it's not so strange. Anyone of us might fall in love with coffee! It happened in mythological times," said Madame Epanchin, casting a wrathful glance at her daughters, who had started to laugh. "Please continue, prince."
"Since that evening, I've had a special fondness for coffee. I began to ask questions about it, as I had never seen one before. I immediately came to the conclusion that this must be one of the most useful things-strong, comforting, invigorating, and not too expensive. Thanks to this coffee, I started to appreciate the whole country I was traveling through, and my melancholy gradually faded away."
Caffeine had definitely added to my life, whether tea or coffee, but I couldn't handle it in my youth. I would get the jitters drinking any amount. I also couldn't sleep at night if I had any that day, even if I had it in the morning. Now in middle age, it doesn't give me jitters or keep me up at night, so long as I stop drinking it at least 6 hours before bedtime. I only drink one full caffeine beverage in a day. If I want a second, it has to be decaf. Even my first is usually a half caf. I appreciate the clarity that the less sleep you've had, the less caffeine you should consume. Definitely counter intuitive and important to realize. Also had no idea that drinking several cups of coffee a day could make the liver function the body of an alcoholic, but no danger that I will ever drink that much. I can't even get up to 2 full cups a day!
YES: " I appreciate the clarity that the less sleep you've had, the less caffeine you should consume". That notion is well worth remembering.
Weeks ago I started doing two things Mr. Huberman recommended for improving sleep. I wait 90 minutes before having caffeine (I have decaf in the morning) and I look towards the sun for some time after I get up. Also reduced my caffeine intake. Been sleeping soundly since then. Usually, I still wake up to urinate a couple of times at night but go back to sleep easily. That would change if I'd just remember not to have liquids too late. Love this channel.
Shot in the dark here...but I also wake up usually once to pee (57 yo). Just recently I heard that when we eat a bunch of carbs/sugar the body is forced to excrete that sugar to try to stabilize insulin levels. Just a thought, had never heard that before and may not even apply to your sleep.
@@starkeymorgan4142 It seems to have been the coffee in my case. I think I’ve quit having to go at night very much. Coffee was making me more anxious than I realized.
Ah. I might try removing that later. Only 7 days in full carnivore.@@TheronGBurrough
I have always been sensitive to caffeine. I am naturally hyper, and caffeine just makes me wired. I have always get gotten up in the morning, and never understood why people need coffee to wake up. I occasionally have a cup of tea (sometimes herbal) in the afternoon. My drug of choice is alcohol, but I keep it to two glasses of wine per day. I'm thinking of cutting back on this, as it makes me sleepy.
About two hours after drinking coffee I feel so sick like so weak and faint. I also think coffee has lowered my ferritin level which then caused sever hair loss. Also, I noticed when I started drinking coffee I started to develop cystic acne. I truly think coffee is the cause of all of this for me . Not to mention the anxiety
Yeah man, when I drink an energy drink and I go visit my mom or brother before hitting the gym I get very awkward and I feel extremely anxious and high in anxiety. I feel like I give off a weird vibe when I’m stimulated on caffeine, I start overthinking and I always forget about the present. When I’m not on caffeine I can definitely have a good conversation
You should make sure that it’s the caffeine. Those are serious symptoms.
You need to get checked for Addison's disease. This sounds like an adrenal insufficiency syndrome.
Not a doctor. ymmv..but go talk to a doc.
That is exactly how I feel from coffee. Yet I still drink it.
You ugh, might wanna get checked out for poisoning. Coffee wont cause hair loss. But certain poisons will...
Thallium being the most common. Using coffee is pretty common as it's bitter taste hides the flavor of poisons very well.
I quit drinking coffee 4 years ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made. 🙂
Me too 🙏
Hows your feelings now after quitting caffeine?
@@tomcarolino4831 Amazing. No more mood swings, fatigue or anxiety. 😊
@@ghdodo nice to hear that..i quit caffeine 10 days now i had a bad headache..mood swing..but my sleeping is really good..i hope i feel much better after a month of quitting caffeine..
You know you’re addicted as when you quit, you don’t want to get up in the morning! Like the world ended! It’s SCARY. That happened to me years ago. Now, my body literally won’t let me overdo any caffeine; I get very unwell, because they are high in histamine and I’m super histamine intolerant, I can’t breathe with too much caffeine!! My body knows!
@@jacquelinehorne6485 I hope you've succeeded in getting that caffeine monster off your back. For myself, am downsizing to half decaf, and only ONE of these. Next stop 3/4 decaf, etc. Until I'm just tired of drinking brown water that has no kick in it.
Will save much energy/time/focus . . . better to drink hot water in AM's. Clean out the pipes/hydrate.
@@jacquelinehorne6485 ♥️👏 you will do it! And there will be a natural point when you just no longer want it; I did it slowly and now I can sometimes revisit which feels like an enormous treat, but the most important thing is that I’m not addicted to it as before; I read somewhere that it changes the neural pathways and not for the better! And that it’s just like smoking etc. and that it speeds up ageing …my body literally won’t allow me to overdo it, I get totally slammed. 🦋🦋
I was noticing the caffeine, which was causing mineral depletion in my body, was causing my hair to turn prematurely grey. I was also noticing achy joints.
By God’s strength now, I discipline myself to drink far less. 🤲
Caffeine has gotten me to where I am today. Attribute it to success in life, not quitting anytime soon!
It’s okay to just give it up completely. Let it go and never look back. Coffee and alcohol are so heavily romanticized in Western culture, it can be hard not to be a bit of a slave to the advertising that surrounds us. The headaches won’t kill you, and are a good reminder that something nasty has its hooks in you. Pulling them out is going to hurt. Be free.
WESTERN?? spanish speaking countries (like, all of them) has entered the chat/.
Thankful for this video! And I actually have been enjoying being “sleepy” in the morning because I like lounging and relaxing and waking up gradually. Now I use caffeine as an optional treat.
I drink 6-8 cups a day with zero health issues and not on any prescription meds. I exercise and eat well. Plenty of water too.
Quiting caffeine right now because i was having so many issues from taking pre work out and red bull celsisus and monster even 200mg caffien pills i was going nuts with it stressed all the time drinking a gallon of water and still being told that im dehydrated won’t lie stopping i have a headache constantly and feel tired 24/7 but i know this wont last for ever
I am generally up for three or four hours before I have coffee-which I do for the benefits. I don't really feel I need it because I don't eat breakfast, so I get noradrenaline naturally until I eat, which I follow with coffee, and that timing is because the noradrenaline declines. My first significant drinks of the morning are actually hibiscus tea. I usually don't drink coffee after work, unless I have to return for work and want the caffeine, which is not altogether too common.
Interestingly enough, I've never really felt a huge boost from caffeine, and pretty much never felt a "buzz" from it. I did have withdrawal headaches when I went cold turkey, but I stopped drinking it all day and now it's not an issue.
Congratulations! I made some comments to your other coffee and caffeine videos about the warnings. But still, uric acid is a huge threat, and so is adrenal fatigue.
In my experiences with ruminating thought patterns and tendencies towards being OCD, caffeine helps me get out of dorsal vagal shut down that is the reason for my rumination and OCD.
Watching this first thing in the morning sipping on my coffee. 2 cups a day has lower my liver enzymes.
