What stimulates (legal 😉) does everyone rely on to get through the day? I'm exhausted and struggle to focus and caffeine doesn't seem to make a dent anymore. I see ads and stories about this vitamin or that tea, what actually works?

None.

You've messed up your natural sleep-wake cycle by using Caffeine to block adenosine to the point that your body keeps upregulating it. Adenosine is how your body measures exhaustion and it thinks you need more of it because it's not working.

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Obesity is a chronic disease not a choice and it should be treated as such.
By both “body positivity” challengers who too often say obesity comes from laziness and lack of strong will and by obese people who also too often shield themselves stating “this is how I am, it is impossible to change it” when in fact they do not want to accept that fat is literally killing them.
Thoughts?
