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!
