#42: Coffee or breakfast first? What to start your day with?

It turns out that neither drinking caffeine beverages (not just coffee) nor intermittent fasting are safe for female hormones during reproductive years, especially for those who already suffer with hormonal imbalances.

Caffeine disrupts female hormones, including insulin, cortisol, estrogen and progesterone and can lead to many health issues.

#30: Why intermittent fasting doesn't work for new mums
