Caffeine is everywhere — but how much is too much?

From morning coffee and pre-workouts to chocolate and energy drinks, caffeine is a daily habit for millions. But how does it really affect your body? And when should you think about cutting back?

In this episode, we break down the science behind caffeine: how it works, where it hides, and what the research says about safe limits, side effects, and long-term use.

You’ll learn:

  • How much caffeine is safe for adults and kids
  • The most common (and surprising) sources of caffeine
  • When caffeine helps — and when it harms
  • How caffeine affects your sleep, heart, and mental clarity
  • Signs of dependency and withdrawal
  • Whether you need a caffeine reset or just a smarter plan

Whether you're curious about quitting or just want to keep your caffeine habit in check, this episode gives you doctor-approved guidance you can trust.
