Him saying he stays within 400-500mgs is definitely not super crazy amounts, with the FDA recommended healthy limit being 400 a day. However I will say, I have been running more and more into people who don't mess with any caffeine at all or only drink 1 energy drink every couple days so me saying I'm on my second one of the day blows some away. Addiction for sure on a case by case basis, but tolerance definitely seems to always play a factor. These substances always seem to be a slightly unique experience by the users that partake in them, depending on what they already got goin on in themselves

Caffeine seems to have a dramatic effect on my energy levels and my dopamine two or three years ago. I decided to give it up because we went on a cruise and since then I’ve also attempted to give it up multiple times with varying levels of success, but the one thing I noticed, every time is three or four days afterwards, my energy levels go through the roof higher to no caffeine in my system. My dopamine and overall enjoyment of life is much higher noticeably higher. It’s just so freaking hard to give up if I could do it all over again 15 years ago, I would never, start drinking energy drinks

I gotta clap back a little to Andrew's Point on Zyns. I used to be a vape fiend. Was going though the largest disposables in less than a week. Taking a hit probably at least every hour while at work or every couple minutes while at home. Thank God for good friends that incessantly bullied me to get off of the vape and just try Zyns. That was less than 6 months ago and now I'm at just around 2-3x 3mg a day. Recently had a super busy day at work and only had a single one after work. Now I'm at such a low amount I hardly feel any physically discomfort if I go long periods without nicotine. Before After a few hours I would start to feel uncomfortable. Hard to accurately describe nicotine withdrawal, just a general discomfort, uneasy feeling or mild anxiety, and occasional ache.

[@drewmorrison]

Yeah the hardest part of nicotine withdrawal is the lack of productivity. Especially if you need to perform at work, it’s hard. I’d recommend quitting on vacation or something.

I will say that caffeine is a stimulant that I tend to rely on but I have also found a balance when using it because I try to manage my tolerance. Moderating the amount I take helps the caffeine to work better without having to use such a large amount.

[@FitzCity]

This is the problem with pre workout supplements with me. Every since I started taking a pre workout or some kind of caffeine back in 2012, I can now almost exclusively never workout without it. It's 100% an kind of addiction/habit. What's weird is I had the motivation to go workout everytime, but I still needed the hit to crush the workout. It's gotta be some kind of mental acuity for me.

[@OnlyThroughConflictDoWeEvolve]

Bro same. I used to get upset when I’d drink the recommended serving scoop and didn’t feel the effects kick in because of tolerance. Then taking more than the standard scoop became the only way to feel satisfied. Then that came with stomach aches and feeling jittery and dehydration and not being able to sleep properly and recover. Eventually I stopped going to the gym and now im realizing pre work out played a factor in my loss of interest in exercise for a while. I drink a small redbull before I work out and it’s more for a placebo effect for me. Pre workout made me go up and down and crave more caffeine

[@marshalldaviesofficial]

For the example that he gave for nicotine pouches where people titrate up to like half a can a day, it isn’t even necessarily addiction but increasing tolerance very quickly like in two weeks someone who is completely nicotine naive will no longer get a buzz from a 6mg dose of nicotine regardless of the state of addiction

[@Astromadeit]

As a recent Zyn user I disagree about not getting a buzz after a month if they’re completely new to nicotine. Personally, I’m pretty sensitive to Nic, and started w/ 3 mg and that stopped having a significant effect, but with a 6mg I’ll still get dizzy/overstimulated if I keep it in too long

[@Novous]

I respect Joe Rogan's philosophy. He won't play music during workouts because listening to music gets you pumped up, and then your motivation isn't internal--it's external--so in his eyes its cheating. While I don't do it myself, I respect the heck out of being able to work out and do these intense, excruciating things, with nothing but internal self-motivation. It's very monk-like, applied to the modern world.

The cool thing is that your body will give you the requisite dopamine to start and finish a good workout all on its own, without the music. That's the magic of the brain.

Drinking coffee with 3mg zyn watching this . I didn’t find much side effects to justify stopping zyn . Very habit forming , but helps a lot with depression and does help me stay motivated and alert throughout the day . I do take two while at the gym (about 2 hrs) , helps a lot with anxiety .

Nicotine pouches messed up my teeth/gums BAD. They caused me to have excruciating tooth sensitivity for about 8 months after I stopped using them. During the 1.5 years I used them the dentist recorded some bone loss around the teeth in the area where the pouches would rest in my mouth.

I drink 750Ml of water with pink salt in it first thing in the am. I'll put away dishes, walk the dog and do some tidying. So 60-90 minutes after waking I will consume caffeine. Then I will do 90 to 120 minutes of mental stimulation or deep work. Either video games or my school work. Then I will do my mid day exercise which depending on the day is MMA, Strength or cardio or a combination of those. Then in the afternoon I will do my physical work around the house. Lawncare, painting, repairs or building something. Then its supper time. Another walk right after supper with my dog to help with keeping glucose levels down. The wind down for the night. Bed by 9/10 at latest. wake up 530 to 630 and repeat. Caffeine is the only stimulant i consume and never after 2pm. Stimulant free pre workout. Caffeine is a pre workout so counter productive. Restricts blood flow. better to get something that increases blood flow. I realize this doesn't work for many with different schedules as I work 2 weeks away and then off for two weeks at home so i have the freedom for this. However as someone who worked construction for 14 years the best advise I can give is stay away from stimulants. Get sleep, hydrate, eat well and exercise.

[@kylequatmann2125]

The moral of the story is stop relying on man made things to enhance the body and eat a well balanced diet of mostly whole foods, and rely on what God gave us to use as motivation. The body will self regulate and be at its best if you eat right, exercise, get sunlight everyday and get enough sleep. All other man made things take us away from God's power to help our bodies. Just my opinion like all things people say. Anything anyone says is just their own opinion. Have a great day, and God bless.

[@kengineer12]

I’m going to be honest. I am taking Phentermine (for weight loss) and it has been amazing it has helped me clear my mind of ‘food noise’ I am more calm and way more motivated to get things done and not be so depressed. If you’re chemically off balance, sometimes stimulants can be extremely beneficial.

[@seanfrancis7101]

What worked for me for weight loss & control of food cravings was fasting. I saw there was a guy who went over a year. Went from morbidly obesity to being a normal guy. The craziest part is the weight never came back, and the skin snapped back. Most band procedures & drugs cause the skin to sag and hang after losing so much weight. The skin seemed to snap back easy & he never got fat again I heard this, and went over a week of just water, no food. There’s no cravings because you are literally making it a point to not eat. You will be blown away with how much time you save when doing this. I have been doing at least 5 days a month of fasting a month. Screw these drug companies & their addictive poison. You can do this yourself Just thought o would share

[@kengineer12]

@@seanfrancis7101 hey! I did the same I fasted 4-5 days for around 3 months. I lost a bunch of weight; however, it didn’t help with my binge eating issues and as a female it has a wrecked havoc on my hormones. I have low bone density and by doing fasting I’ve realized I’m really screwing myself over, especially since I had a femoral neck stress fracture this past December. I am so young (18 years old) that it’s just not worth to decline my health even more!! If it works for you, that’s great!! I ended up having long term insomnia from high cortisol due to fasting. I think the biggest difference is sugars. The fasting was nice at the beginning but just led to binging the more time went on. The less sugar I have the less I crave. The medication I’m on just helps with food noise, and suppresses my appetite. But yeah if it works for you totally keep sticking with it!

[@bobbyfreeman8345]

Ya I work nights and am really caffeine dependent….can’t really sleep past like maybe 5-6 hours if I’m lucky most of the time it’s 4 or less….. will say switching to non stimulants pre workout at the end of my shift has been helpful….find something with some nootropics and I can still guy thru some HIT and go to sleep after

[@VegardLa]

I don't like coffee so I've replaced that with a 0.5L monster energy ultra fiesta mango ( blue one without sugar, yes i know it still has lots of other unhealthy stuff in it but i prefer sugarfree drinks whenever i drink something) that's my go-to daily caffeine drink.

[@joel0990]

Careful with sugar free. They usually raise your glycemic index levels, aka glucose levels higher than regular sugar. Yes its no calories but your glycemic levels increases a high amount.

you have to force yourself to do a habit like making your bed every morning, where as you have to force yourself to NOT be an alcohol addict.

[@isaiahtonge6955]

200mg of caffeine is my max. During gym or some kind of activity.

[@franckiewicz0831]

I had a serious caffeine addiction for about 8 years. I quit this year in February- cold turkey. First 3 days was awful. About a week or so after I just felt better and better each day. Less tired. No yawning. For 8 years I was having a dangerous amount of caffeine- litres of black coffee, energy drinks, pre work out, etc. every day. For years. Try a 30 day caffeine break and see how your body responds/feels. 🙏. Also: The Democrats have left us and are increasingly unrecognizable, having inverted on all the classical stances that once made them great: They’ve exchanged free speech for censorship, peace for endless wars, abandoned the ‘live and let live’ spirit in exchange for canceling people for ‘wrong think;’ instead of a welcoming but sophisticated vetting immigration system, they’ve had a completely open border where anyone from anywhere can come in and get better benefits than actual tax paying American citizens; a once “colour blind” society to now seeing race, sex and gender in everything, causing further hatred and division, and lastly, not including people who have different opinions into the party, all under the guise of being the “party of tolerance”. Many centrists and centre leftist have left or is barely hanging on to the party. Conversely, the right has absorbed and continues to absorb a lot of these classical values and is now the party of free speech, live and let live libertarian spirit, meritcratic and color blind ideals, a secure border, inclusiveness, and anti war policies. Vote Trump 🙏🔥

I drink six Red Bull sometime more a day. I do not know why I feel like they don’t do nothing for me, but if I don’t take them, drink them I get headaches. I have a really bad down feeling it’s crazy. I don’t know what to do.

[@alexpearson2920]

You should taper down. You can do 6 Red Bulls today, 5 tomorrow, 4 the next, until you’re down to 1 a day. That way, your body/brain can adjust/adapt slowly & you won’t feel so miserable. Even if you just stick to one a day, that’s much much better than six. You’re risking a heart attack and/or diabetes. I know it’s hard & that the side effects are rough, but you’ll be surprised how good you feel after your body isn’t dependent on Red Bull (caffeine, sugar, etc). I knew someone that had a 2 liter of Coke with all his meals.. he kicked the habit by switching to green tea. He lost 45 pounds QUICK & never felt better

I love how steroid abusers tell people how bad coffee or other stimulants are. Lmao.

Lol. "Abuser" is where you're off the deep end. TRT properly dosed in response to specific levels with goals to reach reasonable specific levels within normal parameters is FAR from abuse. Natty btw. Try not to go after a PhD who has been promoting science backed healthy approaches to fitness his entire career. Your ignorance is showing.

[@TheTkrum]

@@slackerr the proof is in the pudding. Believe what you want. Andrew Huberman has abused steroids in his career, and that’s a fact. He is likely stuck on the stick 💉 for the rest of his life bc of it. His skin sucks, as his body wreaks of chemical abuse. PhD lmao. He’s got a paid for education that has been filtered and watered down to fit in a ‘one size fits all’ bs package so everyone can pass. He doesn’t know anything beyond what the rest of us know, but he sure likes to make you think he does. Listening to Andrew Huberman about health and wellness is like trying to learn the Bible from Joel Osteen or learn about marriages from Jordan Peterson, or about God from Joe Rogaine.

Have you ever actually seen someone that abuses steroids? Probably not because if you had then you’d know that Andrew is far from a steroid abuser.

@@patrickdoherty5527 actually I’ve been around plenty of steroid junkies to know when I see one. The body doesn’t lie nor do the side effects. You know how a bank teller can tell a fake bank note so easily? It’s not like they all sit on break combing over numerous fake notes they’ve collected to brush up on it. Instead, by working with the real thing so often, it’s actually pretty easy to spot a fake 😉
