1Bs will tolerate caffeine very well. For 1As it would be a problem. 1Bs have a fast adrenaline and dopamine clearance, making them less at first of nervous burnout from too much cortisol/adrenaline.
Im a 1B, and love me some coffee. Up until 6 months ago, I was not drinking it, but now I drink it with my learning/reading time in the day so I anchored the taste of coffee with the excitement of learning new stuff that interest me.
What about sugar/sweeteners/honey in the coffee, is that somewhat of a downer for type 1’s??
@Christian_Thibaudeau I will re-do your test, want to know this new things like metabolism and enzymes that you put in the new version of the test. Is the new version on for purchase?
First time I was high 1A/1B score, but because I wanted to be a 1A, so my answers polluted the results. From all of the information I gathered about neurotyping, now I know that I am 1B (and the test originally said so).
I have found this to be true in my own training. I am a 1A and coffee is a problem. It amps me up into pure beast mode for about 30-45 minutes and then the crash is devastating and lasts for hours.
Being a 1b myself, I used to love a large dose of caffeine before my workout and I noticed little in the way of side effects, however I can’t feel my cortisol level. After a while, the caffeine stopped having much effect and I have mostly ditched it for pre-workout. I still love my morning espresso… or 4… or 5… and sometimes one after work.
