Caffeine Gene: Growing Up Addicted Before Anyone Noticed
About this episode
This episode explores a woman's childhood caffeine addiction stemming from her parents' choices and its long-term effects on her life.
They say addiction runs in families — but what happens when the addiction is caffeine, and it starts before kindergarten? In this revealing episode of Live Unwired , a woman looks back on a childhood where her alcoholic parents replaced her milk and juice with coffee to save money, leaving her hooked on caffeine before she even started school. What began as a survival habit became a lifelong dependency — one that took decades to recognize and name. This is a story about generational patterns, the caffeine we overlook, and what it means to finally break the cycle. Mentioned in this episode: Trailer
