Caffeine Alternative: Hormone-Proof Coffee

Drinking coffee on an empty stomach in the morning is like starting your car without a full tank. You’re essentially giving the gas pedal a hard twist without the necessary fuel in the tank. While coffee is loved, it has some negative effects on hormones, including:

Increased stress hormones

Adrenal dysfunction

Sleep problems

Estrogen balance problems

Calcium loss

Decreased insulin sensitivity

Fertility problems in women

Increased blood pressure and heart rate

Of course, nobody wants this and we like to think in 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 first. This will ensure that your body is properly prepared and that 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 milk or organic raw cow’s milk. These contain healthy fats that give your coffee a delicious flavor.
