Have you ever had a practitioner casually tell you, “You need to cut out caffeine,” and your whole brain just went:
“I’m sorry… WHAT?” Yeah. That moment.
Because sure — your adrenal glands are fried. Your nervous system is tired. Your cortisol is tanking at all the wrong times of day.
But also… you’re a human. With routines. And feelings. And morning rituals you actually like.
So when I tell my clients they need a break from caffeine — coffee, black tea, matcha, even green tea — the very next question is always: “Okay… but how am I supposed to have any energy?”
Great news: we fix that.
I actually give every client a supplement that increases the half-life of their cortisol — so your natural energy lasts longer without the caffeine crash. (We love science.)
But then comes the second panic:
“Wait… what am I supposed to drink now?”
Because let’s be honest: the comfort of the drink matters just as much as the caffeine.
The warmth. The ritual. The cozy cup in your hands.
The “this is MY moment before the chaos starts” drink.
So today’s episode is my gift to you — a giant menu of delicious, client-approved, totally caffeine-free drinks that actually make this season fun, doable, and dare I say… enjoyable.
If you’re trying to go caffeine-free — or you’ve wanted to try but didn’t know what to replace your coffee with — this episode is going to give you ideas, options, and hope that you can still love your morning drink… even while giving your adrenals a well-deserved nap.
