(Ai Assist:) Steve Frazier is a 68-year-old serial entrepreneur and self-sabotage coach, who shares his 40-year journey through business, addiction, and natural health. Triggered by his wife’s Lyme disease diagnosis and his own caffeine-induced heart scare, Steve dove into hundreds of studies and now advocates for caffeine awareness—not abolition, but informed choice. He debunks myths (e.g., longevity studies mixing caffeinated/decaf coffee), explains caffeine’s disruption of cortisol, adenosine, sleep stages, hormones, and fetal development, and stresses free will, planning, and social pressure when quitting. I add personal anecdotes on alcohol, meditation, and green tea. The conversation blends science, psychology, culture, and practical tips (Swiss-water decaf, lemon water, under 200 mg/day, trackers).
