  • Ep43 | Caffeine

    This week on Positive Reaction Dr. Edwin Serrano and Dr. Danielle Aguila speak on one of the world’s most commonly used substances, caffeine. Caffeine dependency and caffeine withdrawal are the most familiar symptoms and can only be remedied when moderating your dosages. Whether it’s in your espresso or your pre-workout, the impact of caffeine can be subtle but the results may cost your body more than what it's worth.
