  1. He doesn't say you should stop drinking coffee but instead reduce your intake of caffeine somewehre around 400mg. I see a lot of comments that say they completely cut coffee intake. I mean, that is probably good but it would be also good if consumption is reduced.

  2. OTOH Andrew Huberman is actually recommending caffeine – in low-moderate doses as a neuro-enhancer, just not first thing in the morning, or later in the day.

  3. Caffeine puts your cortisol up. I avoid caffeine for a couple of hours in the morning when cortisol is at its highest. This is important especially for menopausal/peri menopausal women.

  4. I couldnt tell you what was my high-range day on coffee/caffeine, but it was easily over a gallon of coffee a day. When i was working from my friend's house where we had to use poland spring gallons to drink, i went through over a gallon on just coffee โ€“ then i also drink yerba mate.

  5. ๐ŸŽฏ Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

    00:00 โ˜• Overconsumption of caffeine can lead to elevated liver enzymes, mimicking the effects of alcoholism.
    00:14 ๐Ÿ’ก Caffeine stimulates the release of adrenaline, activating the sympathetic nervous system, which can increase alertness.
    00:29 ๐Ÿง  Caffeine enhances dopamine receptor sensitivity, intensifying the effects of existing dopamine in the system.
    01:11 โฐ Caffeine inhibits adenosine, a molecule indicating fatigue. Over time, this can interfere with sleep patterns.
    01:39 ๐ŸŒž Consuming caffeine 90-120 minutes after waking up can help prevent afternoon energy crashes.
    02:36 ๐Ÿ’ง Caffeine is dehydrating; thus, it's crucial to hydrate early in the day. Dehydration affects neuron firing and cognitive functions.
    03:32 ๐Ÿ“‰ "Adrenal burnout" is a myth, but excessive caffeine intake can lead to feelings of being "wired and tired."
    05:08 ๐Ÿฅค It's possible to overconsume caffeine. Moderate intake is essential to maintain balance.
    06:05 โš–๏ธ Excessive caffeine/stimulant use can disrupt the balance of neurotransmitters, influencing mood, and focus.
    07:13 ๐Ÿ˜ด After a night of poor sleep, one should consume less caffeine to avoid overstimulating an already dysregulated system.
    07:40 ๐Ÿคน Sleep quality affects the balance of the autonomic nervous system, impacting how one responds to caffeine.

  6. I drink too much coffee because I like the taste,but Iโ€™ve been crashing on it in the afternoon. Iโ€™m thinking of switching to green tea matcha.

  7. Right, right, right!
    ๐Ÿ“ŒI do intermittent eating 16 to 8
    ๐Ÿ“ŒI eat one meal a day before 7:30 PM
    ๐Ÿ“ŒI walk 1 hour and fifteen minutes a day in three sets w/one set using size 3-5 pound dumbbells

    …so I require bullet proof coffee…strangely, I don't put MCT oil in mine and I still get wicked good energy all day and my appetite is suppressed 16 hours; I lost 7 pounds in less than two weeks…I have always had trouble losing plateau weight.

  8. My philosophy has always been to intake less caffeine when I havenโ€™t slept well and more when I have. People always said I was crazy for this but huberman just said thatโ€™s how you should do it

  9. I'm certain coffee is the main cause of my depression. Doctors seem reluctant to agree with me (because I only had one a day), but if I stop drinking it, the depression lifts. I seem to be able to get away with one decaf every nine days.

  10. Caffeine is addictive. A lot of people can't stop drinking because of addiction. Besides, they seem to live until 90 years old
    with no problems in my house. I like to see a study published on the claim that coffee is detrimental. My grandfather drank
    coffee and also lived to be 102 yrs.

  11. I am not addicted to caffeine at all and have no problems with quitting drinking coffee at any time. I usually only drink coffee through the fall and winter. However, I discovered that it is anti-inflammatory for me, so I continued through the summer this year. I would rather be drunk my herbal teas I usually drink, but coffee really helps my inflammation.

  12. I am calling bullshit on this video I am pretty sure this guy is only looking for views he's literally got a video on everything he's an expert on everything….get outa here
