same thing with me. for some people, caffeine seems to also increase glutamate signalling. read a study on it a while back. this would make sense as glutamate increases the general level of nerve excitability, directly increasing anxiety

[@paeade]

Your body, because of caffeine, is purging minerals. As you loose magnesium especially, it will cause stress and anxiety. So get plenty of magnesium daily, 5 times your body weight in mg.. like Dr. Berg says you need to increase all minerals and if you can, cut back or stop caffeine. Alcohol does same thing in causing loss of minerals. So does having gut absorption issues.

I used to drink a pot a day. Switched quite some time ago to no more than 16 ounces a day. I began to have higher anxiety, arythmia, mild panic attacks and excessive jitters. I gave up coffee about 6 months ago. Those symptoms went away completely. I had about 6 ounces of coffee a couple weeks ago to see how I'd react and the symptoms came right back. The jitters made it feel like I had been drinking pot after pot of coffee. I absolutely love coffee and miss it but I do not miss those ailments.

[@silverlining5796]

Yes Eric, a few years ago I have learnt this while working on a research piece it came out caffeine stays in the body for (48/)72hours.. and so in the morning I have learnt to avoid the ritualistic coffee (it did cost me efforts withdrawing from this powerful ritual that was a charming relaxing centre-stage of the breakfast theatre,) in the morning all together because it will mimic the wake hormones to the receptors making the body producing less of it in returns and so making tiredness crippling in much faster and up cycling dependence to caffeine intake. During the day , the wake hormone is produced every 3/4 hours (7-8am/10-11/14-15pm/17-18) depending on metabolism and daylight between 7am & 6pm and these early times 7/8am coffee should be avoided all together to allow the receptors in the brain to read the real levels of hormone and regulate wake throughout the day. Caffeine is not so benevolent at 360° since it flushes the liver of trace minerals and important vitamins creating vicious cycles, of dangerous when protracted, health deficiencies; which then in return can activate dormant illnesses. 1 or 2 nice coffees are much more useful passed mid morning or in mid afternoon (3pm >>> 5) but not later than that if it's needed preserving early-ish sleep (as for 10pm)

[@dennisgarber]

It is a weird chemical. I tried to use it to lower my caffeine intake in 2019. As I recall, it kind of worked to replace the adenosine attached to brain. It didn't give the same creative and productive drive that caffeine gives. It seemed to work for only 4 hours, as I recall. But, I think it still screwed with my sleep at night, which is why I stopped using it. Cost was an issue too. I kind of recall that it seriously hurt my ability to fall asleep at night, 12 hours after. But caffeine still seriously messes with my sleep after 1 cup, 37 years after starting to drink coffee. I try to keep my coffee intake 200 mg caffeine or less, before 6 am. If I need 3 cups or 300 mg to wake up fully, I know that I won't be able to fall asleep, no matter how tired and sleep deprived.... I believe in taking 1 to 2 days off caffeine per week to keep the body sensitive to caffeine. But I have not practiced this since I got married, since this would mean sleeping in on Sunday until 2 pm (bed by 10 pm on Saturday), then going back to sleep by 7:30 pm Sunday night. Of course, my younger body and brain was trying to catch up after a week of averaging 7 hours of sleep per night with genes that require my brain to get 9 hours and 45 minutes of sleep per night to clear out all of the brain's metabolic waste products from a day of thinking. During dreaming is the only time that the blood brain barrier opens to let the glympatic fluid to clear out the neural metabolic waste away. This is why we cannot store up sleep, but our brain can rack up a sleep deficit that must be paid off. As the brain ages and thinks less, it might need less sleep to clear out the waste. Also, the lack of sleep will lead to fewer deep thoughts and less brain metabolic waste. I initially was puzzled by the tiny bag in which it came. I was going to send it back, but after a few days I realized that it was so powerful, I only needed a tiny amount.

What type of tea can I drink besides coffee in the morning please?

[@carlapogson7024]

I recently started to limit my coffee intake, I was drinking 5-6 cups a day, I am down to 3 cups now with fresh oat milk in it. It doesn’t seem to be doing anything to me. Thank you for this video, I guess I should get down to one cup.

[@1dayfree]

It's poison. Why risk it?

[@realitychick1826]

Oat milk is not fresh, it’s full of toxic ingredients.

Oat milk gave me sevier inflammation in the joints because of the omega 6 from sunflower seed oil...

Hi Dr Berg.When would you do a video on cannabis oil both thc and cbd?

[@SpamMouse]

Given the subject matter I would be surprised if this happened. I think the only weed that Dr Berg will promote are Stinging Nettles and Dandelion.

It's poison and you body is probably quite toxic already.

[@georgewashington3012]

Symptom of anxiety. That’s why excessive caffeine can create panic attacks, etc. you don’t perceive it as anxiety if you’re just chillin at home. It if you’re placed in a somewhat stressful situation, your response will be one driven by anxiety.

Thank you ... someone was claiming there was a difference between curcumin or turmeric as I understand - perhaps in its effects as to whether it's a pulver or powder or not as I recall ... what say you?

Dr you are reading my mind! 🤯 I was just wondering today how I can speed up to neutralize caffeine after I had a coffee which I know I shouldn’t have because it gives me sleeping problems (but I love the taste of coffee 🙈)

[@TranceGurl20]

I love the taste of coffee too I drink decaf I recommend presidents choice decaf it taste delicious and it's not toxic like the instant decaf ones nor does it have a weird taste tastes exactly like coffee

[@RoguePC4U]

1) don't drink coffee 2) eat celery, turmeric, broccoli and cauliflower. Pretty much just sums up what he said in the video though.

[@dermo10]

Scary. I have 99% of the listed negative effects when I drink coffee. One cup in the morning is the most I can can handle without severe anxiety and mood swings. Everything more than 1 cup a day pushes the symptoms way off the charts. I try to leave out the coffee completely. Another extreme symptome are skin problems such as psoriasis and itching.

[@Esperanza..]

Yea… it gives me a very stressed feeling. But i really do love the taste of my 1 bulletproof coffee in the morning 😢

[@eileendarling1093]

I believe you are right about the coffee psoriasis connection. I've had psoriasis for 39 years now. A lot of those years with severe psoriasis. I don't seem to have severe flare ups when I drink tea instead of coffee.

Hi Dr, I have heard coffee blocks nutrient absorption. What do you have to say about this? Can you Do a video about coffee effecting nutrient absorption and how many hours before or after a meal to drink it to avoid lack of nutrient absorption? Thank you

[@Drberg]

We'll add that to our video suggestion list. Dr. Berg's Support Team.

[@experimenthealthyketo83]

Yes, he made at least one video answering how coffee blocks specific nutrients. And that’s one of the reason he only suggests one tiny cup of organic coffee in the morning. And he also use a nutrients rich keto diet ❤

Thanks for the great videos. I don't drink coffee, but love teas. Years ago, when in high school, I had to stay up to finish a paper. Well, I had heard that coffee helps you stay awake. I drank a cup of cold coffee from my parents coffee pot that they had fixed that morning. It was the bottom part with grounds in it. Horrible. I did finish my paper, but never drank another cup of coffee again.

I get heart palpitations after drinking coffee (but not at all times) I noticed electrolyte powder balance this out. Maybe potassium magnesium issue ...

Dr. Berg, I only drink coffee at breakfast, I'm from Colombia and it's basically our favorite drink. I don't drink it as much as I would if I were there, I make a 5 cup pot and I have it with whole milk, it takes me about 3 days to finish it unless it's cold, I don't like it too strong, so how do I know if I'm consuming too much caffeine?

Probably the best way to neutralize caffeine is to not drink caffeine in the first place

Absolutely. But unfortunately most people are hopelessly addicted - to the point of "life is not worth living without my coffee/tea etc". Sad really - as life without caffeine is actually awesome, you just have to get past the withdrawal symptoms and stick with it.

Extreme. Caffeine, like anything else, is excellent when used properly.
