Hi, it's Dr Sam Robbins
Most of you aren’t going to like today’s topic, because most people consume daily,
the most abused drug on the planet and that’s caffeine.
And YES, caffeine is a drug.
So powerful that Coca Cola’s original ingredient contained cocaine and they needed a replacement
for it and the substitute was and still is, caffeine!
Whether it’s your morning or daily coffee and tea, the usual “energy drinks”, sodas,
pre-workout products or dozens of other “energy” stimulatory products that contain caffeine.
In fact, most people can’t seem to start the day without getting their “caffeine
hit”.
The problem with caffeine is that it “burns out” your Central Nervous System and causes
numerous, negative changes in your hormones, which ultimately accelerates aging.
The negative changes in hormones are: Increase in stress hormones, such as cortisol
-- this means more belly fat.
Decrease in testosterone -- this means less muscle and lower libido.
Decrease in growth hormone & IGF -- more fat, accelerated aging.
Decrease in thyroid hormones (T3) -- slower metabolism and fat gain.
Decrease in adrenal hormones -- DHEA, pregnenolone, etc.
Decrease in melatonin -- sleep and anti-aging hormone.
Increase in estrogen -- breast cancer, gynecomastia (“Man Boobs”), irregular menstruation
Higher blood sugar and insulin insensitivity -- more fat, less muscle, diabetes, etc.
Another major issue is neurological in that it causes issues by decreasing dopamine release
and dopamine receptor sensitivity -- both are bad because it decreases happiness and
can cause parkinson's.
It also causes a decrease in another neurotransmitter, serotonin.
This means again, less happiness, more worry, stress, anxiety and panic.
Other health problems that are non-hormonal Oxidative stress and inflammation -- related
to numerous health problems, aches and pains PH imbalance (more acidic) -- acid reflux,
osteoporosis, gut bacterium imbalances Insomnia & poor sleep (shallow REM sleep)
-- cause of too many health problems and hormonal imbalances.
High blood pressure
Honestly, I can go on and on.
And trust me when I tell you that when I take a little bit of caffeine, I feel AMAZING.
I honestly do.
I’m happy, very productive and just more focused.
But I’ve done so many tests with it and no matter what I do, within a few days my
body adapts, I need to increase the dose, my hormones start to change for the worst
-- as does my sleep.
And people who I’ve tested who habitually consume caffeine daily, for years and years
(like most of us) -- trust me, they have a lot of health issues.
BUT NOT ONCE, will a doctor say “get off the caffeine, it’s killing you”.
This is because nobody even thinks of caffeine as a drug.
And “every does it”.
Remember, it’s a very potent drug and works in many ways, the same as Cocaine.
And both are “natural” and found in “nature”.
But they are not to be consumed in highly concentrated sources, like we do in modern
society.
Anyway, like I said -- I really like how I feel on caffeine, I just don’t like to deal
with the negatives - especially the hormonal imbalances.
So, what does this mean?
Because I know right now most people are thinking “umm…
no way am I gonna stop my caffeine, I love my coffee, etc., etc.”
Yeah, I get it.
However, the good news is that there are much safer, healthier and even better solutions
-- natural herbs, plant extracts and amino acids that will give you all the energy and
focus you need, but without any of the negative side-effects that I’ve mentioned today.
No crash.
No negative hormonal changes.
Plus, they are actually GOOD for your health -- body AND especially mind.
Better for memory, cognition and mood.
They actually help improve your hormones and neurotransmitters.
They have anti-aging benefits, especially for your mind.
Anyway, I’ve listed the ingredients and formula below, in the description area.
And don’t worry, you don’t have to go out and buy a dozen different products or
ingredients.
If you still want to have your caffeine products, go ahead… but consider lowering the dose
and use much healthier and better solutions that I’ve listed below.
