This evolved into me craving coffee when I felt that afternoon slump hit and I would actually at times find myself smelling it, even when it wasn’t around because my brain was lusting after it so deeply to give me that boost. Suddenly my life included the occasional afternoon coffee. Then my one 8 ounce cup of coffee in the morning turned into 12 ounces. It became part of my morning routine and the ritual of it became as much a part of the craving (or more) as the caffeine itself. But, some time last year my occasional cup of coffee, only when it sounded good, turned into an every single morning thing. I learned to make my own cold brew at home and I even fell in love with a Mint Mojito Iced Coffee number and found myself adding it to keto granola. Overtime I created my own Healthier French Vanilla Coffee Creamer for those folks in my life that wouldn’t give up the sketchy store-bought stuff. Generally it was Boosted, as I found this lessened any jitters straight up black coffee might cause. We would connect occasionally when I was craving it. Even a single cup would cause extreme jitters and serious feelings of anxiousness.Īfter I healed my gut, went through an extensive liver detox and rectified my adrenal fatigue, among many other things, I did a little experimenting and low and behold, me and coffee were friends once again. There was a very long time, during the middle of my healing journey that I wasn’t able to handle any coffee at all. I am not one of those die-hard, ride or die coffee drinkers who’s been at it every morning for many, many years.
