i want to talk about coffee and the  amount of coffee that we should drink 83%  

of US adults consume coffee now what’s in coffee  is caffeine and the way caffeine works is it  

blocks a certain chemical that makes you sleepy  so basically caffeine wakes you up it helps give  

you this sensation of well-being you feel more  creative and you’re less sleepy but if you have  

too much it can have some negative things it  can increase cortisol it can also increase  

adrenaline if you have too much so another name  for cortisol is glucocorticoid because one of the  

functions of cortisol is to help you regulate  your blood sugars if your blood sugars are too  

low but cortisol decreases insulin sensitivity  so what that means if you have too much it can  

actually take you out of ketosis and the problem  with a lot of people doing keto is they do a  

massive amount of coffee and especially at the  wrong times they do it through the entire day  

so cortisol spikes at 8:30 in the morning okay so  if you’re drinking coffee through the day you’re  

constantly jacking up cortisol and as you do that  you start stressing out the body and it has some  

side effects which we’ll get to now you’re also  stimulating adrenaline and that’s going to put  

you more in the flight or fight mode so how  much coffee should you drink well i recommend  

you drink eight ounces okay that would be the size  of this coffee cup it looks very large right it’s  

actually very small okay this is how much coffee  i drink every single day it’s very small eight  

ounces that’s all i drink that’s what i recommend  you drink as you drink more coffee it’s going to  

affect you in various ways it can give you  side effects it can actually make you tired  

it can actually prevent you from sleeping or  getting the quality of sleep that you really  

want it can inhibit ketosis and i recommend that  you check your ketones by just consuming a small  

cup and then the next day check your ketones after  drinking say three or four cups and and you’ll see  

that you’ll actually be less in the ketosis also  can give you more anxiety if you do too much so  

most people drink coffee to have more focus right  but the problem is it’ll give you less focus  

less concentration over time you’ll be more add  also it can decrease serotonin and serotonin is  

the hormone that helps you assist in making  you happier so you might kind of be grouchy  

during the second part of the day also it can  give you tension in the back part of your neck  

okay up in the top part right between where  your skull connects to your neck and it can  

also affect and give you less digestion so do  one of these okay you can do decaf make sure  

it’s organic or teeccino which is the great coffee  alternative or some herbal tea that’s naturally  

decaffeinated hey before you go real quick  i have a course entitled how to bulletproof
