Coffee, Energy, Hormones March 11, 2020

In this eye-opening interview, I talk to Dr. Stephen Cherniske about the dangers or stress and caffeine, especially when it comes to the childbearing years of your life. The effects on hormones, energy levels, and your baby are not to be ignored. If you’re like most people, you rely on coffee or caffeine to power you through your day. Listen as we find out why it doesn’t do that and ultimately leaves you more depleted in the long run.
