You may have seen Brett when he was just a handsome young man staring alongside his older brother Woody in The People VS. Larry Flynt. Well now Brett is a wise soul who is very in touch with his mind, body and vibe. Check out what he has to say about CBD and what it has done for him.
“Let me break it down for you real simple: It’s just the best you’ve felt in your natural state. I used to have a sense of anxiousness going on in my head for half the day. I just figured that is the way I was wired.
I have a handful of best friends that started taking CBD way before me. They swore by it for one reason or another.
For example, Jackie, who is a mom of a three- and seven-year-old, told me that it helps her have patience, relax and just be present with her kids; even when the little monsters are running around wrecking up the house.
My buddy Caleb swears that CBD keeps him focused and in the zone all day at work. He thinks he’s a ‘Mental Ninja’ on the stuff.
Look, for me things don’t feel as tedious or overwhelming anymore. I feel calm, confident and like whatever comes at me…I got this. But don’t take that for meaning that I am just mellowed-out. Not at all. I am focused and motivated just the same.
There is so much more I love about CBD than just how it has changed my vibe. For example, in the middle of the night when I wake up because my brain is racing, I take some and within 10 minutes I fall back into a lovely deep sleep. It takes the edge off in my workouts and the weights just feel a little lighter. When I get a headache, CBD will knock it out in a couple of minutes. And after a long day of racing and my body is tense and aching, the CBD just relaxes those muscles and makes me feel like I just got done doing yoga.
Now if you are interested in adding CBD into your life, and you should be, let me give you a few pointers to help you find a good product because there is a lot of junk out there…
- Water-soluble CBD works so much faster than oil-based CBD. It starts to work in a few minutes. Oil-based CBD has to be digested and can take up to an hour. I don’t know about you, but I do not have time to wait an hour to get that feeling I’m looking for right now. You know what I mean?
- If you are going to put something in your body every day don’t do it combined with chemicals and preservatives. Twinkies have a shelf life of 20 years because of the ingredients. Some of these cheap CBD companies add the same preservatives into their product. Do I want to add something that can last 20 years into my body every day – NO!
- Terpenes are an important part of the hemp plant and they really enhance the effects of CBD. So look for a formula that adds Terpenes into their CBD.
- And lastly, make sure the CBD has third party testing to validate the potency and efficacy. Most companies do NOT have that testing and it is just scary what you could be taking.
I’m a picky person and I expect a lot from a CBD product: organic ingredients, no preservatives, water-soluble technology, extra terpenes, and I don’t want it to taste like I’m eating straight olive oil. Sounds hard to find, but trust me there are products out there like this that do exist…”
