Ideal Mind-Body Balance

A regimen of hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) is said to encourage ideal mind-body balance, calm and an overall sense of wellness—as well as evening relaxation and restful sleep.

What should your cannabinoid regimen be?

Determining the “ideal” amount for an individual depends on several factors, including body chemistry, weight, health, prescription medications, sensitivity to CBD and desired effect. The number of servings that feels right for you might be totally different than what works for someone else.

Users are advised to startwith the smallest serving size and increasing the number of servings over time until the desired effect is attained.

It’s important to know how much you’re using (and how often) to pinpoint exactly what your regimen should be. Our CBD Usage Tracker is an easy way to keep track until you find your balance.

The Gut’s Role in Nutrition

We all understand the importance of a clean, healthy diet that’s rich in nutrients. But if the gut isn’t performing properly, the vital micronutrients our bodies rely on may not be optimally extracted from what we eat. Leaky gut syndrome can result in not only poor digestion, but also malabsorption of amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Also, those experiencing stomach issues may choose easily digestible but less nutritious foods over healthier options, giving the body even less to work with.

Gut Health Inside and Out

Poor digestive health increases our susceptibility to many conditions, including some that may affect the appearance of the skin. To be clear, there are many factors that contribute to skin health, but it’s interesting that researchers have demonstrated an intimate, bidirectional connection between the gut and skin. In fact, numerous studies link gastrointestinal wellness with skin homeostasis, its optimal state of balance. (It’s no coincidence that a good esthetician will ask you about your diet and maybe even your bathroom patterns.)
