5 BENEFITS OF USING BEAM CBD

This post was written in partnership with Beam. As always, all opinions and expressed thoughts are my own. I am not a doctor, certified nutritionist, or a medical professional – these expressed opinions are my own personal experience and findings with using CBD.

Let’s jump right into it. Here are the 5 Benefits of  using Beam CBD:

1.Manage Stress and Anxiety

Incorporating CBD into your daily regimen may reduce stress hormones and your body’s natural stress response according to growing evidentiary support. According to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America, 18% of adults suffer from an anxiety disorder. – where compounding feelings of despair, failure, and even impending danger can impact overall mental wellbeing. If left unchecked, anxiety sometimes can cause a physical reaction in the body to ensue — and the largest culprit of anxiety is oftentimes stress. Stress can wreak serious havoc on the body and ultimately lead to serious consequences like depression, headaches, and a weakened immune system. I’ve struggled with anxiety for my entire adult life and have tried to remedy it through a variety of different practices. Some measures contributed to improving my anxiety slightly while others had zero impact. I only felt a noticeably large difference when I started taking the beam CBD oil called ‘The One’ every day. The tincture is chock full of phytocannabinoid-rich CBD oil and it’s third-party tested to ensure quality and purity. I also think it’s worth mentioning that they ensure the oil is free of THC. I like to have a serving (under my tongue for maximum potency) first thing in the morning. Over the last few months, I’ve realized that this one small ritual has made a HUGE difference in how I handle stressful scenarios over the course of the day. My stress feels way more manageable and as a result, I no longer feel totally derailed by my anxiety.

2.Reduction in Pain & Inflammation 

Research suggests that both topical and sublingual (under the tongue) application can help alleviate pain and inflammation. I’ve struggled with joint pain & arthritis for nearly 16 years (wild I know, considering I’m only 30) and I become increasingly more symptomatic during the change of seasons. Using Beam’s ‘The Fixer’ Salve has helped alleviate my joint discomfort + inflammation tremendously. Considering that this is something I’ve battled with for more than a decade and a half, I’m thrilled to have finally found something natural that works well for me. It’s made with pharmaceutical-grade full spectrum CBD Oil (500 MG) – combined with the soothing aroma of lavender essential oil & eucalyptus essential oil. Moments after using it, I feel almost instant relief.  I also love using the salve to help combat post-workout soreness. I believe that recovery is one of the more important aspects of a healthy workout regimen. I love to throw some of the Beam salve on any sore muscles (or my knee when I’m experiencing the occasional joint pain) – and voilà! I feel like I’m ready to conquer another challenging workout the following day. I also love to have the beam protein bar if I’m feeling like I want a boost of protein with my CBD intake.

3.Improved Gut Health

Since I’ve been taking Beam CBD daily, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my overall digestion and gut health. Many believe that the gut microbiome is the root of all wellness and some have even referred to the gut as being our “second brain”. Research has suggested that full-spectrum CBD oil can have a positive effect on the microbial bacteria in our gut. CBD has been shown to not only improve inflammation in the gut but it also helps restore balance in our endocannabinoid system.

4.Improved Quality of Sleep 

Sleeping is a necessity to replenish all that our bodies endure during the day — but that doesn’t mean that we always sleep soundly. There is mounting evidence that suggests CBD attacks the root cause of insomnia and also improves stress reduction, having a positive effect on sleep. I’ve personally noticed that I can sleep through the night more soundly since incorporating CBD into my daily regimen. I love to have the CBD oil about 30 minutes before bed — & as of recently,  I’ve also been putting the Beam ‘Dream Blend’ into an evening adaptogenic brew. The blend contains relaxing components like melatonin, magnesium, L-Theanine and their nano CBD powder. I find it so soothing – and a huge bonus that it tastes AMAZING. My bliss mode seriously goes up to 100 when I know that I’m about to drink this before bed!

5.Boost Your Brain Health

According to some studies,  CBD can help with Neuroinflammation and promote healthy brain cells. Inflammation in the brain can be linked to a variety of issues like depression, anxiety, and trouble with memory. There are also some studies that suggest that CBD helps improve our neuroplasticity and the ability to make new brain cells. I’ve always had a great long-term memory but as I get older, I’ve noticed that my short-term memory has worsened. I’ve seen a large difference in my memory and clarity throughout the day when I have CBD in the morning shortly after waking up. Now, this could be for a multitude of reasons as I also believe that finding a moment in my morning to be intentional and slow down helps set the tone for me to focus more assiduously on my tasks. Regardless of the exact reasons, I’m happy to have an improved short-term memory throughout the day and I recognize that CBD plays a role in that for me.
