This episode strips away the influencer trends to reveal the biological reality of caffeine. Oli Patrick and Spencer Matthews challenge the popular \"90-minute delay\" rule and explain the surprising science behind why your immediate post-espresso \"buzz\" might be an illusion. From its history as a substance once banned in professional sports to a counter-intuitive productivity hack, they explore how to transform a daily ritual into a legitimate performance tool. This isn’t just a talk on the benefits; it’s a guide to understanding what your caffeine intake might be masking and how to optimise it for focus without sabotaging your long-term health.
