3512: The Truth About Caffeine: Why Coffee Doesn’t Really Give You Energy

WW: The Truth About Caffeine: Why Coffee Doesn’t Really Give You Energy

Does caffeine really give you energy or does it just make you feel like it does through some other mechanism?

On today’s show I want to break down the surprising truth about caffeine and how it actually works in the body.

I’ll detail how coffee, tea, or energy drinks don’t create new energy, but instead block the signals telling your body it’s tired.

So if you’ve ever wondered why your daily coffee habit isn’t fixing your fatigue, or may even be making it worse, tune into today’s Cabral Concept 3512.

Enjoy the show and let me know what you think!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Caffeine Doesn’t Create Energy
Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors which tricks your brain into feeling less tired while underlying exhaustion continues to build. Over time, this can lead to nutrient depletion, hormone imbalances, and deeper fatigue.

2. Overuse Leads to Depletion
Relying on caffeine while exhausted depletes nutrients (like magnesium and B vitamins), disrupts cortisol, slows thyroid function, and increases long-term disease risk.

3. Strategic Use & Recovery is Key
Limit caffeine to after breakfast (not first thing in the morning), reduce afternoon intake, and focus on sleep, recovery, and balanced nutrition to truly restore natural energy.
