When Coffee Becomes Survival: A Nervous System Wake-Up Call

from The Food Freedom Rebellion for Nurturers and Healers · host Bonni Hise and Kerri Pagliarini

Coffee is not evil—but if caffeine has become the thing getting you through the day, it may be affecting more than you realize. In this episode, Bonni and Kerri unpack how caffeine influences sleep, cravings, anxiety, blood sugar, digestion, and nervous system regulation. They break down the difference between enjoying coffee and depending on it, explain why more caffeine does not create more energy, and talk through what withdrawal and recalibration can look like when you cut back. This week’s challenge is simple: one cup a day, preferably before noon, and notice what changes in your sleep, mood, and cravings.🔗 Links & Resources⁠RSVP for the Love Your Gut Workshop🔥 Join the 90-Day Mind & Body Reset→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🧠 Book a Free Mind & Body Consultation→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule your call here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💬 Join the Mind and Body Reset Hub (our free community)→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Come hang with us
