FAQ chi tiết

For some yes, others no. Test for 3 weeks. Pay attention:

• Energy levels
• Mood
• Productivity
• Sleep quality

If declining, return later wake. Genetics chronotype matter.

Coffee before water OK?

Drink water first. Coffee dehydrates. After 30 phút water, coffee OK. Cortisol peaks 8-9 AM, coffee best 9-10 AM (avoid spike with cortisol).

Exercise empty stomach?

OK 30-45 phút cardio. Strength: light snack 30 phút before better performance. Listen body.
