Your ability to tolerate coffee is a great indicator of metabolic health.
If coffee makes you feel awful, it’s a sign that:
Your liver isn’t storing glycogen well, poor blood sugar regulation
You’re not eating enough, or you’re missing key nutrients.
You’ve been under too much stress for too long.
Over time, you can improve your coffee tolerance by:
✔ Eating more metabolically supportive foods like I teach (animal proteins, fruits, dairy, eggs, shellfish, beef liver)
✔ Pairing coffee with meals instead of drinking it alone.
✔ Starting slow—adding a splash of coffee to milk, then increasing as your body adapts.
✔ Sipping coffee throughout the day rather than downing a huge mug all at once.
As your metabolism strengthens, your tolerance to coffee will improve. You’ll be able to handle more without the crashes, anxiety, or cravings.
This is a good thing and a sign of good health.
When coffee is done right, it’s a powerful metabolic tool.
But if coffee isn’t tolerated well, it’s a sign that something deeper is going on.
Start by fixing your foundation—eat more, balance your meals, and choose high-quality coffee that’s mold-free and free from heavy metals.
And remember, if someone tries to hand you coffee first thing in the morning, you now know better.
Just smile and say:
“But first… breakfast.”

My favorite organic coffee, third party tested for mold, mycotoxins and heavy metals would be my own - shopwildwellfed.
I am a huge advocate for clean coffee and believe anything we consume daily needs to be of the highest quality. That’s why I created @shopwildwellfed!
