Caffeine, We Need to Talk (Again)

I didn’t quit caffeine because I’m superhuman. I quit because it stopped working for me. I was tired, wired, and wondering why my sleep was trash. As a perimenopausal woman, my body isn’t bouncing back the way it used to. So I decided to experiment. What happened when I stopped relying on caffeine to function? Spoiler alert: the withdrawal was real, but so were the benefits. Now, I use it intentionally—for performance, not survival.
