Description

Welcome back to the Whole View, wait for it - 420. (0:27)
And this week we are talking about CBD, for episode 420.
All jokes aside, we did have a CBD episode at the beginning of March for episode 393.
CBD was something that Stacy had to avoid while working full-time, which is crazy because if you are using a high-quality brand there is 0% THC.
However, Stacy has a security clearance that she didn't want to jeopardize.
She had read about it being good for pain management and reducing inflammation, but as of the last episode hadn't tried using CBD for that.
Recently, Stacy had a flair when they were camping and was able to avoid muscle relaxers, heavy-hitting medications, and being completely down for a week, which is what typically happens.
Once Stacy got the initial inflammation down through a few key strategies, the CBD was able to quickly regulate it.
She was able to get her physical therapy in the pool to continue the healing process and had no other issues.
It was crazy!
So today we are going to talk more about Stacy's pain management, and how she got to know what she needed to do to manage it.
Also, how she has been able to add in more strenuous exercise more recently, which she does attribute to adding CBD into her routine.
Sarah has science on the mechanisms for that, which she will explain more.
If you have pain, keep an open mind and find a way to at least try it.
 
Our Favorite Source
We are partnering with One Farm, the brand that we love for tested, organic, and US-made hemp extract. (3:55)
Because if you are going to try it, we want you to use a brand that will be effective and that is giving you the benefits of CBD that Sarah is going to talk about.
You want to make sure that you use a brand that is tested and safe for you.
This is why we asked One Farm to partner with us, and they are sharing a 15% off code with our listeners.
Stacy recommends a topical CBD treatment as well as consumed, in addition to applying a topical lotion that has the benefits of CBD.
One Farm has an awesome Tumeric lotion, with CBD as the main active ingredient, that Stacy really loves - and it has no orange color to it, don't worry.

If you want to know more about the basics of CBD and more about this brand, be sure to also reference our podcast episode 393.
Sarah has been using One Farm for a long time and they check all the boxes for her.
What inspired her to try CBD was a bunch of questions she received in a session regarding pain management.
At the time she hadn't dug into the science in-depth, but the interest in this topic sparked Sarah to dig deep into the research.
The research essentially talked Sarah into trying it, and she chose One Farm because they are US based, USDA organic, and they do all the right things to ensure the highest quality.
Sarah briefly explained the difference between THC and CBD.
Fibromyalgia pain is really what brought Sarah to incorporate CBD, but she found that it was also so beneficial for her sleep and anxiety.
 
Stacy's Experience
Very similarily to Sarah, Stacy started with just using it occasionally for when she felt like she needed it. (12:12)
She focused on using it for anxiety, as Stacy didn't think it would help with pain management.
Truthfully, in the beginning, Stacy felt very skeptical of using CBD.
However, after recording episode 393, Stacy realized that it might be more beneficial to begin using it on a regular basis.
Stacy is going to share her personal experience and share the specifics of her regimen.
But please remember, we are not medical professionals.
CBD is a supplement and is not tested or approved as a drug by the FDA, while One Farm is unique in it's USDA organic farming certification.
For a bit of background, Stacy was a competitive lifter and she was Northern Virginia's Strongest Woman.
She competed in the sport of Strongman.
Stacy was working in the garden and took on an in-the-moment physical challenge,
