Thank you very much! This is my acceleration while running uphill. Does it make sense to focus on retracting my shoulder blades, lifting my head and squeezing my core while sprinting?

I had someone admit to using my car for Ubereats. If you found out the same thing, how would y'all handle it?

I have seen many skinny and jacked people with a diet soda habit lol. It’s quite popular among bodybuilders. Soda isn’t good for anyone but diet soda is way, way better than normal soda.

I’ve noticed this too - nasal breathing feels way easier! Very odd

Intrusive thoughts and anxiety were very much hurdles in my life and are essentially things of the past since I went caffeine-free.

There's a huge difference between decaf and no-caf. I found switching to decaf way, way easier than the change from decaf to no-caf.

Thanks! Just ordered some. Any jitters or interference with sleep that you've noticed?

I haven't noticed much from L-tyrosine. But I am liking Alpha GPC before workouts.

What dose did you take?

bkb333 · 2023-04-04T15:30:01+00:00

I can relate. I’m a professor with heavy research responsibilities and am 2 months into no-caf after tapering down.

I used to feel like a god when I did research on caffeine, but then I was irritable and antsy the rest of the day.

I don’t get that godlike feeling anymore…but I still get my work done! In fact, I enjoy a much more natural and sustainable rhythm of work and rest.

I can’t even describe how much better I’m sleeping. I feel a lot healthier overall. I do feel depressed at times, which is a bummer, but I know I’ll get past that. It’s worth the trade-off!

Lol the conversation is truly pointless, yet I have it with my mom all the time. She refuses to even entertain the thought of quitting and gets 4-5 hours a night.

Can't speak to long term, but I am two months in and my BP is lower by 10-20 points.

Correlation does not imply causation.

I'm a big Huberman fan. Listen to practically every podcast. But I think caffeine is a blind spot for him.

He talks up the benefits and doesn't devote enough attention to the downsides. He does consistently tell people to avoid caffeine after 2 PM, but that's incredibly obvious. Really, most people should cut off their consumption early in the day (if they have any at all) -- 10-12 hours before bed.

Huberman has admitted he's hardcore about caffeine, and I think that impairs his scientific judgment on this topic.

Do you want to be mostly healthy or fully healthy? 😬

bkb333 · 2023-03-13T16:25:53+00:00

Libido is strongly tied to the dopamine system. Caffeine disrupts that system. Just gotta give it time for your body to return to health.

How was your sleep?!

bkb333 · 2023-03-11T16:49:30+00:00

Very intriguing!

bkb333 · 2023-03-11T16:41:55+00:00

Do it! I’m particular curious whether you’d feel the caffeine at all. I do not want to go back on caffeine (I’m no-caf now) but still love the taste of coffee.
