Coffee guidelines:

1. Less caffeine IS better and I do think it’s important for everyone to know how their body feels off of caffeine

-> Once weaned off (go slow), you can see how much caffeine is a crutch for you energy levels and when low energy isn’t being masked, your body may actually be telling you there’s something that needs support

-> Once weaned, you can now use caffeine more strategically! You’ll feel the energy boost a lot more potently

2. Consider starting with half caf: Mix a decaf and full caf blend or find a 1/3 caf blend like I drink by

3. Organic is a must

4. Low acid is a really good step, maybe not necessary for everyone

5. 3rd party tested for mold and contaminants is a must

6. Smaller biz > megacorps that don’t care about anything but $$

7. Bitter = better! Your digestive system, namely your bile/gallbladder love bitter. So chill on the sweet and creamy

8. Hot > cold (sorry girliesssssss) for your digestive system overall

9. Don’t drink it riiiighr away: Delay a bit! 30+ minutes into your day

10. Don’t drink it late: Don’t consumer caffeine after noon, lest you contribute to that issue the internet is trying so hard to get you to fix with the trends lately 😅

What has bee your experience with lab costs, accessibility, and insurance?

In many cases, you’re better off asking for cash pay …or finding a practitioner who doesn’t profit big on your access to finding answers

🤦‍♀️

Sorry but there’s no excuses by now

With concepts and answers easily at the patients fingertips, there’s no reason your practitioner shouldn’t be up on emerging health topics as well

If you’re still being told your IBS, brain fog, “feeling not like myself” and infertility is anxiety …

It’s high time you build a better team ❤️
