#193: Coffee, Cortisol & Your Morning Routine: Is It Okay to Drink Coffee on an Empty Stomach?

One of the most common questions I get is: "Is it okay to drink coffee first thing in the morning on an empty stomach?"

In this episode, I'm breaking down the science behind coffee, cortisol, and your energy levels – without the fear or confusion you may have seen on social media.

You'll learn:

• What cortisol actually does in your body (and why it's not the villain it's made out to be)

• How your natural cortisol cycle works and what can throw it off

• Whether coffee really spikes your cortisol levels in the morning

• The signs and symptoms to look out for to know if your cortisol is out of whack

• The tests that I recommend to get your cortisol tested

• Simple coffee timing tweaks and other lifestyle tweaks to naturally balance your cortisol

• The powerful benefits of coffee that often get overlooked

So, if you're a coffee lover who wants more energy, better sleep, and less confusion around cortisol… this one's for you!
