It's just going to suck for a few days. But the best strategy I found was to cut your usage down by a quarter and then cut it by a quarter, cut it by a quarter, cut it by a quarter. Then you're off, stay off for a couple of days, then go back on at a lower dose. So if you're, you know, if it's 200 milligrams and it goes down to 150, 150, zero, you know, type of deal.

Um, the best way to use caffeine, don't take it later than let's say 1 PM of the day, you know, during the day and use it before your workout, use it before you're going to go do that thing. Uh, that is to improve your health and, uh, your fitness. Um, other times use creatine before creative endeavors. So I think why people like taking, excuse me, caffeine.

I think this is why people like using caffeine before meetings because it gives you that kind of motivation or whatever. But before your workouts, about 30 minutes before is probably the best time to use it.

Or is it I need it to feel normal? And this is how most people use caffeine. They use it so regularly and so consistently that it's a fix that they need to feel normal. This is how you know your tolerance is now so high that if you don't have it, you go through withdrawal that's so bad that you're grumpy, irritable, you have migraines, headaches, or whatever.

So definitely, you know, I've used this example before on my podcast. If caffeine were discovered today, it would be a controlled substance. It's definitely a drug, okay? Not necessarily a bad drug. If used improperly, it can definitely be a bad drug. It also has some pro-health benefits for the brain. It's pro-dopamine. It seems to be anti-Alzheimer's, anti-dementia.

There seems to be some insulin-sensitizing effects that come from caffeine as well. But it's addictive. The LD50 on it is pretty low. You can overdose on caffeine. I think it was one of the number one reasons why people go to emergency rooms is being over caffeinated. So it's definitely something to pay attention to. But I like going off.

I used to recommend all my clients to scale down and go off relatively regularly. Another way to do that is use rhodiola. Rhodiola, it's got its own mild stimulatory effects that can offset some of the withdrawal effects that you get from going off caffeine.
