Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Matthew Kelly discussing genetic predisposition to caffeine sensitivity. The speaker gives a personal anecdote — describing physical shaking and inability to tolerate caffeine — and attributes this intolerance to genetics, noting a family pattern (mother also cannot have coffee).

I can't really have too much rainbow dust, but I can definitely have a cup of rainbow dust. Like, now, if that was what we just did, the tasting, and I was just pure coffee, I'd be like, you know, it's genetics, people. Sometimes it's genetics if you can have coffee or not. Like, it's in your genetics. My mom can't have coffee. I can't have coffee either. Caffeine, I mean.
