Caffeine is often used to push through fatigue, stress, and busy days, especially for on-the-go women. But when the nervous system, digestion, and hormones are already under pressure, caffeine can quietly make symptoms worse.

In this episode, I explore how caffeine affects the nervous system, gut health, blood sugar regulation, and sleep quality, and why it can leave you feeling wired, bloated, anxious, or exhausted.

You’ll learn:

• How caffeine blocks adenosine and stimulates the stress response

• The impact of caffeine on digestion and gut health

• Why caffeine can disrupt blood sugar and increase cortisol

• How caffeine affects sleep and nervous system recovery

• Practical ways to reduce caffeine’s impact without giving it up completely

If coffee has started to feel more like a necessity than a pleasure, this episode will help you understand what your body is signalling and how to support it more sustainably.

If you are ready to truly skyrocket your energy, ready for digestion that feels easy and a nervous system that feels rested, you can apply to work with me here: https://the-root-cause.co.uk/health-coaching/

I look forward to talking to you.
