Caffeine alternative: hormone-proof coffee
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach in the morning is like starting your car without a full tank. It's like giving your foot a hard rev without the necessary fuel in the tank. While coffee is popular, it has some negative effects on hormones, including:
- Increased stress hormones
- Adrenal dysfunction
- Sleep problems
- Estrogen balance problems
- Calcium loss
- Reduced insulin sensitivity
- Fertility problems in women
- Increased blood pressure and heart rate
Of course, nobody wants this and we like to think of solutions!
Hormone-proof coffee
Ingredients:
- Coffee (organic, possibly decaf, but you can also use one of the alternatives)
- Collagen powder
- Plant-based milk or organic raw cow's milk
- A pinch of Celtic sea salt
Preparation method: Ingredients:
Step 1: Start your day with a nutritious breakfast. Before you reach for your coffee, it's essential to fuel yourself with a nutritious breakfast. This will ensure your body is well-prepared and the caffeine doesn't have too much of an impact.
Step 2: Add collagen powder. Mix a scoop of collagen powder into your coffee. Collagen can help maintain a healthy hormonal balance.
Step 3: Add plant-based or organic raw cow's milk. For a creamy latte experience, add plant-based or organic raw cow's milk. These contain healthy fats that give your coffee a delicious flavor.
Step 4: A pinch of Celtic sea salt. If you're feeling stressed, add a tiny pinch of Celtic sea salt to your coffee. This will help replenish your minerals and help you relax.
