Many people start their day with coffee right after waking up but this can actually increase inflammation and stress on your body 💛
When you drink coffee before eating:
- Cortisol (your stress hormone) spikes right away 📈
- Blood sugar becomes unstable 🎢
- Stomach acid and digestion are disrupted
- Adrenals get overstimulated, leading to energy crashes later in the day
- Coffee can also contain mold (mycotoxins) that further stress your immune system and liver 😣
🌿Better coffee habits for thyroid and adrenal health
- Wait 1–2 hours after waking before having caffeine (supplement form is a better alternative)
- Always have coffee after breakfast or at least with some protein and fat like eggs, collagen or avocado (some even add butter to their coffee!)
- Choose organic, mold-free coffee if possible, your liver and thyroid will thank you.
- Stay hydrated with water or herbal tea first thing in the morning.
💬 Remember:
Balanced mornings = balanced hormones.
When you support your adrenals first, your thyroid, mood and energy naturally follow 🌸
