Health Powered Nutrition

Turns out it's never really been about the sourdough. 🍞

Lately, it's been about the process.

The measuring, mixing, waiting, learning, adjusting and trying again when things don't quite go to plan.

The same goes for welcoming my newest nutrition client. 🌱

Getting to know their story, helping them build skills, finding what works for them and creating habits that actually fit their life 💯

A fresh loaf on the bench...
.& the opportunity to support someone at the beginning of their nutrition journey?

That's my version of peace these days. 🤍

Caffeine works by blocking adenosine.

This is the chemical that builds up in your brain throughout the day making you feel sleepy 🧠💤

So technically… caffeine doesn’t create energy for you, it temporarily stops you feeling how tired you actually are 👀

A few other things people don’t realise 👇

▪ Adenosine still builds in the background while caffeine is active
▪ When caffeine wears off, the “crash” can feel intense because all that built-up sleep pressure hits at once
▪ More caffeine ≠ more energy regulation
▪ Poor sleep + high caffeine intake can become a cycle very quickly

This doesn’t mean caffeine is “bad” by any means!

I will defend my morning coffee with my life ☕️😂

But relying on caffeine to replace:

• food
• sleep
• recovery
• balanced meals
• hydration

…is where things start to become an issue.

More often than not its not a caffeine issue but an energy regulation issue 😬

General Australian guidance recommendations are:
👇🏼

Adults should aim to keep caffeine intake around or below 400mg per day (roughly 3 coffees depending on the strength) ☕️

Trust me, your body probanly isn’t asking for another double shot espresso at 3pm & knowing your personal caffeine threshold matters 💯

Lemme know your thoughts
