·24 min

1. THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST episode 296 is about caffeine-free drinks for people trying to heal adrenal fatigue. 2. Allison Jordan hosts the show, identifies herself as a functional medicine practitioner, and says she has supported over 150 clients. 3. The episode asks what to drink when coffee, black tea, matcha tea, and green tea are off the table. 4. Allison says clients often hear that they need a break from caffeine and then ask, "okay, but how am I supposed to have energy?" 5. She explains that the supplement used with clients is meant to increase the half-life of cortisol. 6. Allison says decaf coffee still has about 30% of the caffeine of coffee on average. 7. She defines adrenal fatigue as a continuum rather than a yes-or-no condition. 8. Allison says the more severe end is called the "exhaustive phase of HPA access dysfunction." 9. She says her clients often have inflammation, H. pylori, food issues, heavy metals, mineral deficiencies, poor detoxification, and liver congestion. 10. The first drink category is herbal tea, including Rooibos tea, lemon and ginger, strawberry tea, raspberry tea, and dandelion tea. 11. The second category is fake coffee, with examples including mud water, Fake Coffee by Big Heart Tea, and Teeccino. 12. Allison warns that many mushroom coffees still contain coffee, even when they are marketed around mushrooms like lion's mane and cordyceps. 13. The third option is hot lemon water, which she says some clients use for digestion and a possible stomach-acid boost. 14. The fourth drink is a chocolate peanut butter drink made with peanut butter powder, cacao powder, salt, milk, and sometimes collagen, pea protein, or hemp protein. 15. The fifth choice is golden milk, which she describes with turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, cayenne, ginger, sweetener, and a milk base. 16. Allison says golden milk can support inflammation, blood sugar, circulation, and digestion, while still being caffeine free. 17. The sixth category is bubbly water, and she says some clients get more burping, gas, or acid reflux from it. 18. She gives a SodaStream and CO2 tank setup as a cheaper home hack and says a 20-pound tank refill costs about $30 and can last about a year. 19. The episode is conversational and practical, with Allison moving from disclaimer, to client-reported options, to a personal family hack. 20. People cutting caffeine for gut or hormone work may like this episode, while listeners wanting only coffee reviews may skip it.
