In this episode, Zach and Jeremy talk openly about how they trimmed their daily caffeine intake – and how you can benefit from doing the same. By reducing their coffee intake, they were able to decrease anxiety, sleep better, and improve focus throughout the day.

You’ll hear their tips for slowly weaning yourself off caffeine to avoid headaches and withdrawal symptoms. Even if you’re a die-hard coffee lover, you’ll be inspired to re-evaluate your own habits. Minor tweaks like mixing in decaf or timing your last cup can make a major difference in your mood, energy, and wellbeing.

Topics include:

Caffeine as an addictive, psychoactive drug
Jitteriness and anxiety caused by excessive caffeine

Strategies to gradually reduce intake like mixing regular and decaf
The 12-hour cutoff before bed to avoid sleep disruption
