Nothing on this site is medical advice. I am not a doctor, a registered dietitian, or a licensed healthcare professional of any kind. This blog is a personal record of my experience with matcha and caffeine intake and the research I have read. It is educational content only.

What This Means in Practice

When I write that something "worked for me" or "seemed to help," I mean exactly that — my personal experience, under my specific conditions. These observations do not automatically generalise to other people.

Matcha contains caffeine and L-theanine. If you are sensitive to caffeine, pregnant, or nursing, please consult a healthcare professional before making changes to your daily intake.

Please Consult a Healthcare Professional

Before making significant changes to your diet, eating patterns, or daily routine — especially if you have a medical condition or take prescription medications — consult a qualified physician or registered dietitian.

Accuracy and Updates

I cite primary sources (PubMed, NIH, Cochrane Library) for factual claims. If something I have written turns out to be wrong, I update it when I find out. If you spot an error, please contact me.
