A little update on my coffee-free journey…
(featuring this dreamy matcha latte)
It’s been a couple of weeks since I cut out coffee—and I didn’t expect to feel such a shift so quickly. This started as an experiment, but the changes have been really encouraging.
The biggest difference?
😴My sleep
I’ve been tracking it on my Garmin and noticing deeper, better-quality sleep. I’m falling asleep faster, waking up less, and starting the day feeling more refreshed.
Matcha has been such a helpful bridge.
It still gives me a gentle lift (thank you, L-theanine), but without the anxious buzz or the crash. Plus, it’s packed with antioxidants and is much gentler on my gut.
Here are a few other things I’ve noticed since stepping away from coffee:
⚡️Fewer energy crashes – my energy feels more stable throughout the day.
😃Reduced anxiety – I just feel more level, less wired!
🚽Fewer toilet trips – coffee was definitely contributing more than I realised, it's a diuretic! I'm feeling more hydrated and less bloated.
Feeling more in tune with my body – especially around energy and sleep rhythms have you ever tried taking a break from coffee? Or found a swap that works for you?
