How to have a healthier relationship with caffeine
When Tillie Uribe feels that first twinge of a migraine coming on, she reaches for caffeine. Some of her headaches are doozies.
Her doctor suggested that caffeine’s an easy way to at least try to head off the ache before it really digs in. She’s found it often works pretty well, narrowing blood vessels in the brain and short-circuiting the misery. So when the lights appear to flicker or she sees an aura — sure signs a migraine is imminent — she says she’ll reach for coffee, tea, soda, whatever caffeine is handy.
On the other hand, Uribe, a kindergarten teacher from West Jordan, normally can’t tolerate caffeine after about 4 p.m. True for many people, caffeine late in the day keeps her awake. She also has had peripartum cardiomyopathy for decades. That’s a rare form of heart failure that can occur late in a pregnancy, so she has to be careful how much caffeine she consumes. The stimulant could be bad for her heart.
For Uribe, caffeine is both a potential blessing and curse. For many other people, caffeine is something of a mystery.

Former President Donald Trump touted his record on foreign policy at a fundraiser Saturday in Utah to an audience that the organizers said exceeded their expectations. Trump was introduced by former critic Gov. Spencer Cox, who one source said spoke about the need for unity in the Republican Party.
Cox, who endorsed Trump recently after not voting for him in 2016 or 2020, introduced the former president to Utah donors. Organizers said they raised around $5 million for the Trump campaign. The Trump campaign is also looking to organize a Latter-day Saints for Trump group, one of Trump’s supporters said.
“It was packed,” Doug Quezada, one of the hosts, said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it was up close to 1,000.”
The fundraiser took place at a private hangar at the Salt Lake City airport. Two Utahns — Marlon Bateman, a State Department official during the Trump administration, and George Glass, former U.S. ambassador to Portugal, organized the event.
