I didn't set out to quit caffeine. I set out to understand why three coffees a day had stopped being enough. By 2pm I was hitting an energy drink just to get through the afternoon. By 5pm I was wired but exhausted. By 10pm I couldn't wind down. It was a loop I'd been in for two years without naming it.
A contact in the tech space mentioned he'd broken the same loop using a functional mushroom supplement. I was sceptical. I tried it anyway. Thirty days later I hadn't touched an energy drink. Here's what changed and what didn't.
Before and After - The Honest Comparison
I tracked my energy, focus and sleep across the full period. The difference wasn't dramatic or instant. It was quieter than that - and more durable.
The thing that surprised me most was what was missing rather than what was added. No crash waiting at 2pm. No reaching for something sweet at 3pm. No heart rate spike when I needed to concentrate. Just a quieter, more consistent version of being awake.
The first 15 days I felt almost nothing and nearly gave up. That's normal, this isn't a stimulant and it doesn't pretend to be. By day 17 something had shifted. By day 30 it was just the new baseline.

Glitchberry flavour. The taste was genuinely good - which matters more than it sounds for consistency over 30 days.
Sceptic turned convert. The mechanism is real, the product is honest, and the 30-day framing is accurate - not a marketing choice. If you try it for a week and feel nothing, that's expected. Give it the full protocol.
