It starts with a rush – your heart jumps and your breath tightens. All from a drink you’ve had a hundred times before.

It’s easy to blame the coffee. The timeline checks out. You sip, you spiral. But the intensity of that reaction is rarely just about what’s in the cup.

This episode breaks down why your body might be reacting so strongly to something so ordinary – and why simply cutting it out doesn’t always bring the relief you’re hoping for.

There’s a deeper pattern behind the alarm bells – one that has more to do with how your system has been wired to respond than the coffee itself.

Tune in to make better sense of the signals your body’s been sending – and learn what you can do when they show up.
