For most caffeine lovers in this country, daily coffee in the morning will be a foreign concept.
But one CEO claimed that quitting coffee was contrary to her expectations.
Nadya Movchan, CEO of London-based communications company Movchan Agency, told Fox News Digital that she has been more energetic than ever since she kicked out of her coffee habit.

As an adult, her addiction quickly formed.
“I love coffee. I love the taste. I love the energy it gives you in the moment,” she said.
“I usually start my day, usually [with] If I’m totally honest, two cups of coffee and more throughout the day. I just like it. ”
Drinking certain types of coffee can bring some health benefits, but additional features are important
Movchan only realized that her coffee habits were even a “being a problem” moment until she signed a three-week detox course in December 2020.
Detox requires no wine, no alcohol, no greasy food, and of course no coffee – Movchan reports that it is “so painful”.

“It shouldn’t be a big deal, but it was hard for me at the beginning,” she said. “I had the worst withdrawal symptoms in the first three days.”
She said she “had a headache from the moment I woke up to the moment I fell asleep. I had no energy.”
“I feel brain fog so crazy.”
The program recommends exercise to help detoxify – Movchan said she “can’t even consider it.”
“I don’t have the energy. I have to work,” she said. “It’s very difficult because I feel like my brain fog is so crazy.”

Movchan said she was psychologically challenged because the day she woke up in the morning and began to have a cup of coffee disappeared.

Then, on the fourth day, a big change happened.

“I woke up and I realized I had more energy than ever before,” she said. “No brain fog, no fatigue, no headaches. It’s really great.”
Movchan realizes that she maintains the same energy levels throughout the day, not the moment of collapse while drinking coffee.
“I removed caffeine in the morning and I realized that my energy levels were stable,” she said. “I don’t need caffeine.”

“Especially in winter, my hands will be very dry,” she said. “I had to put a lot of cream on them. And, my lips – I’ll never go out [lip balm]. ”
“But when I stopped drinking coffee, I realized that this might have dehydrated me a lot, and I guess it’s no surprise – but I didn’t think of it until then.”
As CEO, Movchan recognizes that business professionals have been looking for ways to improve productivity—but she suggests that caffeine can be a “symptom of masking fatigue.”

“I think for many people, coffee is an addiction to me,” she said. “If you can’t function all day without anything, it’s an addiction.”
She added: “Now, when I wake up in the morning, I can have a glass of water, and I’m so happy. Before, I couldn’t do it.”
So Movchan said quitting is “worth trying”, although it’s not everyone’s choice.
