Good morning and welcome to the 5 a.m. Miracle, episode number 611, 6 months of green tea,

how I cut coffee, extreme caffeine, and excess chaos. I am Jeff Sanders, and you have reached

the podcast that is dedicated to dominating your day before breakfast.

I am a keynote speaker and corporate trainer, and to learn more about that, head over to

jeffsanders.com slash speaking.

Now, in the episode this week, I'll break down how I broke free of my daily coffee addiction,

why green tea of all things has become my go-to daily

beverage, and how you two could find your ideal daily episode of this show called Hot Cup of Stress, 30 Lessons from My 30 Days Without

Caffeine. Now, to date, that is my most researched episode ever on this podcast, both in

terms of personal research, in terms of my own experiences, as well as the external research

that I did to dig into all the topics

related to coffee, caffeine, energy, and trying to reset my personal system, which fortunately,

the end of the story, at least six months later, is that that massive experiment that

I ran was wildly successful. That's the great news. And so today,

yes, I will break down where I am with my new caffeine regimen. But before we get there,

I do want to go back to that previous episode to talk about those 30 lessons in brief, just to

recap what those were. And also, let's before we even do

that, go back a little further and discuss briefly my history with caffeine. So essentially,

for my entire adult life, I have been a coffee drinker. I have loved it. I've consumed it like

crazy. And over the years, I've had some overconsumption and I tried to back myself down from

it. But last year specifically, I consumed coffee and caffeine overall at levels I have never done

before. We're talking at least multiple coffees per day, multiple shots of espresso per day.
