&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;First thing in the morning.&amp;rdquo; Most people do this. But from the perspective of precision nutrition and circadian rhythm, that first cup is likely consumed during &lt;strong&gt;the least effective window of the day&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="the-morning-cortisol-peak"&gt;The morning cortisol peak&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Immediately after waking, your body autonomously surges cortisol production. This is called the &lt;strong&gt;CAR (Cortisol Awakening Response)&lt;/strong&gt;. It peaks 30–45 minutes after waking and gradually declines over the next two hours.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
