Having an unhealthy relationship with coffee generally means suggests primarily hypothyroidism, and secondarily adrenal fatigue. 💡

Gonna have to search this one. No idea what's written lol 😅
Define "unhealthy".
And I ask because I'm truly interested in your response.
Follows this pattern:
1. Loves coffee energy.
2. Ends up consuming first thing AM.
3. Ends up having more cups per day.
4. "I really need to quit coffee."
The feeling of being trapped in dependence is what I mean by having an unhealthy relationship with coffee.
I can have 1/2 a cup, zero cups, or 1-2 cups a day and more or less feel the same.
The difference is thyroid.
Thanks! I drink an espresso every day, mainly out of habit, for over 40 years. I don't really get an energy boost (that I can feel) any more. I've cut back on all other coffee intake, just the espresso every morning. I've also gone without for a week or so at a time but not felt 'ill' for it. I have thought about giving up entirely, but not just yet.
Thanks again for the detail. Helps me think more clearly about what I want/need to do.
Sounds like no problems in the thyroid/adrenal arena.
Are you usually warm or do you ever get chills?
I'm usually warm, much to the gratitude of my wife.
And a good appetite while staying relatively lean without killing yourself?
Sounds like a solid thyroid/hormones/metabolism to me.
Sorry, got busy working in the yard.
Well, tbh, I can attest to the "good appetite" part but not the "staying relatively lean" part.
I've managed to drop about 30 pounds since November. I switched to a keto-ish diet, and now I'm down to about 193, with a goal of 180, and 170 if I can manage it.
