Caffeine is something that is integrated into most people's lives, but do you ever take a step back to really look at your relationship with caffeine? 

In this episode I discuss the effects of caffeine on the body and mind from both personal and Ayurvedic perspectives, comparing caffeine consumption to using an energy credit card. 

I explain how different Ayurvedic constitutions (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) react to caffeine, and I share my personal journey with and eventual break-up from caffeine. 

I explore the scientific and Ayurvedic views on caffeine's impact on the nervous system and emphasize the importance of self-awareness and moderation. 

I encourage listeners to track their caffeine consumption and its effects to better understand their relationship with the stimulant. My aim is to provide insight and guidance on maintaining a balanced and healthy approach to caffeine.
