When I stopped drinking coffee over two years ago, it was just for an experiment. But I ended up feeling so much better that I haven't had another coffee since then. So why did I stop? Well, it has a lot to do with how my body metabolizes caffeine and the specific effect it has on the brain.

If you're feeling exhausted in the morning and your regular cup of coffee (or two, or three) is no longer cutting it, you may be fighting an uphill battle with these important brain chemicals.

On today's episode, I cover...

• Why I quit coffee and you should too
• What your delicious cup of joe might have to do with you feeling wired at night and exhausted in the morning
• How you can actually be more energized without coffee
• And what you can drink instead (so you don't miss your morning cup as much)
