CAFFEINE & YOUR HORMONES | What You Need To Know!

[@daniwanicki]

Took me a while to realize it was coffee messing up my digestion and sleep. 2 weeks off of it and already feeling better. Thanks for the coffee alternative suggestions, Dandy Blend looks good!

[@glendaanderson4969]

DANDY BLEND IS THE BEST!!!! I drink it in the afternoon and evening when I want a coffee. So good with plant milk & ice. I get the organic bag. It taste like coffee but better somehow. Seriously can't say enough about it.

thank you for this video Crystal

[@CrystalKennings]

That's amazing! I am so glad you made the connection.

[@bonezbaaaby]

Same much better but still trying to eliminate it

[@itsagoodday2165]

It’s my worst enemy as i have endo. I avoid it during my cycle

[@LollysGarden]

Thanks Crystal. Caffeine, especially from tea make my breasts fill with fibroid cyst’s. It is very painful. Thankfully many years ago I had a doctor suggest I stop drinking tea and within a week the pain and hard cyst’s were gone. Now I know if I have caffeinated tea to expect pain for a few days.

[@CrystalKennings]

Thanks for your comment Cindy! That is great to know and I am glad you are feeling better now. I am sure others have the same issue and can relate too.

[@marianasilovska5903]

so informtive!! I love that you list your resources in your description box

[@peachysquirrely]

I needed to hear this today. Thank you so much! ❤

[@Tangerinka410]

Thank you for this video, you are amazing! 💙 However, there is one more important thing that actually most people don't know. There are two types of coffee (actually species of a coffee plant), "arabica" and "robusta". What is typically served as Italian coffee or "American style" black coffee is mostly robusta, which has 2-3x more caffeine than 100% arabica! Arabica is also more expensive and generally considered "superior" to robusta because of its mild taste. For me, switching from bitter dark-roast robusta to 100% arabica made a HUGE difference. No side effects, I feel just mildly energized and unless I drink more than 2 cups late in the day, I sleep like a baby. So if you are a coffee lover - like me - it might be good to know and try ☺️.

My relationship with coffee is like a bad marriage. I love it but it hates me and makes me feel like crap. I want a divorce but I don’t have it in me to leave...

[@الوردالجوري-غ6و]

😂😂😂😂Same love

[@pinKiwishimmerz]

Try matcha !

[@friendship8539]

I used to feel the same way. I used to feel like trash entire day. Till two months back, I left it for good and I got my life back.. I feel ten years younger now. Wonder how was an innocent mug of coffee doing that to me!

[@KornyKornball]

Dammit!! Yea after watching this and reading the comments I realize I gotta let coffee go. 😭😭😭

[@tanyas.9688]

Omg Crystal!!! I didn't know you had your own channel!!! Loved your video!!!!!

[@melrox8809]

I've been trying to break up with coffee for a long time. I've been tapering off this week bc I am off from work & I rely on a morning coffee & an afternoon coffee when I work. Great video Crystal.

[@CrystalKennings]

Thanks Mel! Slowly tapering is a great way to decrease intake, but can be hard. I am happy to hear you are trying it this week while off work. That's a great time to do it! I've mixed decaf in with regular coffee (called a half caff) and it can help a lot as you slowly add more decaf and less regular too :)

[@melrox8809]

@@CrystalKennings thanks for the tip. That's a great idea

[@melaniebeltran7204]

Where can I find more information about your tips for iron-anemic prone individuals? I'm curious as to why it's better to have caffeine with a small snack rather than with a meal? By the way, your channel is SO INFORMATIVE. I'm very very happy to have found it!

[@user33housecats]

decaf still has some caffeine, I am switching to Teeccinno herbal coffee for a no-caf drink, I'm already sleeping much better

[@williambreeze2659]

Thanks for the information!

[@ravuthsim]

Thanks Amosuir for sharing. I am on day 30 without coffee. Feel better, but still has muscle pain on the should and neck.

[@KornyKornball]

My god. I've been dealing with shoulder and neck pains for several months but I've also been drinking the most coffee ever in life. 😐

[@ShortieShortyShortStuff]

I see what you did there😂 I literally just got into my room with a cup, went into KZbin app, and seen your video. I am trying for dear life to quit the coffee. Go to the gym, and balance out my hormones. I get down to two cups a day, and then relapse back to four to five😭and I know my brain is hooked on the antioxidants, too.

[@nickmontaldo]

Great video ! Caffeine makes me break out so I cut it out for clearer skin

[@RebeccaWife1Mom4]

Dandy Blend has been the key for me to breakup with coffee, and my daughters love it as well.

[@CrystalKennings]

It's amazing there is something so good like that out there!

[@birgit.sowhat]

I'm in a committed relationship with coffee.... but I should end it... it's not good for me 😂 thanks for the video Crystal ❤️

[@uaebifvideo5472]

Thank you for the information!!.

[@rocilanda]

I loved this video, so mindfully explained!

[@bridgetvest7645]

Good video Crystal!

[@brittanysonderby111]

Hey Crystal, thanks for the video. I thought you might mention the connection between caffeine and monthly or cyclic breast pain. It affects a lot of women and some are completely unaware that the coffee could be causing it.

[@CrystalKennings]

Good catch! I did mention it in the video but it was typed out! As I was talking about other symptoms I (somehow??) forgot to say it causes cyclical breast pain while I was filming!!! so I had to type it out and add it on screen while editing lol thank you for highlighting it here in the comments though! It is such a common issue so many people experience.

[@brittanysonderby111]

@@CrystalKennings ooooh! Makes sense. Yes, def good you typed it out. Thank you❤️

[@annaschmidt8577]

Very good video- once again!🤩 I used to drink way too many energy drinks during a certain period of my teenage years🤦🏼‍♀️ Now I think they‘re gross🤢 I do enjoy my daily cup of black coffee for breakfast☕️ Also I sometimes treat myself with a nice almond milk cappucchino when I‘m out in a nice cafe 😊 Anyway, I drink it for taste primarily🤗 Also, I keep daytime in mind and do Not drink caffeinated things after 4pm, to make sure I can sleep well😴

[@abdelhadivandam6258]

This grade is bad

[@Rinaa11214]

So informative, thank you :)

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

Is drinking decaf coffee ok?

[@sarahlowder]

This was sooo great!! Thank you!!! Do you think adding things to coffee like a full fat unsweetened coconut milk or oat milk (or even cream) would help the blood sugar thing? As long as there is no added sugar of course...

[@CrystalKennings]

That is a great question! I would say it might help a little bit but think of how little milk most people add to coffee. It's not much! That is why I suggest drinking it with a balanced meal or snack. But try it and see how you feel!

[@gisellehyfr6044]

Why am I always tired ? What can I do them

[@anastasija3210]

❤❤❤

[@MyCoachLorraine]

A lot of solid points but can be very misleading when trying to highlight so many variables related caffeine in one video.

[@shak6234]

Oh be quiet. It was good
