Are you tired, stressed out, impatient, or lacking focus? As a mom of 3, some days it seems like I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since before I had kids. Six months ago, I was exhausted and looking for a way to feel better. What began as an answer to sleep deprivation turned into an improved way of living.
This “way” included:
- building on a positive state-of-mind,
- a daily practice of mindful choices,
- and supplementation with my cannabidiol oil.
About five weeks in, I looked back at things and realized how these choices, plus CBD, made an impact.
- My threshold for patience was at an all-time high
- I improved my mood
- CBD regulated my appetite, and therefore I lost pounds and inches
- I was keeping my immune system in peak performance while my kids caught their normal colds
- I was sleeping like my babies
- Most noticeably, I found focus and clarity
So I harnessed this new-found-energy into a community group for my business I named, The Detox Artist. My mission is to inform and share values related to the simple steps we all take toward health and personal happiness.
One topic we discuss frequently at The Detox Artist is CBD. Also known as hemp-derived Cannabidiol, CBD is drug-free and legal.
More than 100 beneficial cannabinoids derive from the cannabis plant. Two of the most recognized cannabinoids are
- CBD – Non-psychoactive
- THC – Psychoactive
You will NOT get “high” with hemp-derived CBD. Here’s why:
There are different varieties of cannabis species, much like a Wolf and a Chihuahua are different breeds of Canis Lupus. Two main varieties of the species cannabis sativa are
- HEMP which naturally contains CBD and less than 0.3% THC
- MARIJUANA which contains CBD and is bred for higher concentrations of THC in the range of 15-20%
I believe adding CBD into your diet can make a profound impact on your health like it did for me.
Humans, all mammals in fact, have an endogenous (inert) cannabinoid system. This system produces cannabinoid compounds that bind to receptors in the brain. So when we consume hemp-derived cannabinoids, they aide our bodies in self-correcting a slew of seemingly unrelated conditions.
Here are 8 common ways hemp-derived CBD oil does a body good:
- Sleep
- Digestion
- Hormone stability
- Immunity
- Mental clarity
- Creativity
- Calm
- Muscle and joint relief
There is no identifiable point that things happen with CBD. In my experience, there is just the “absence of” after you take it. The experience is unique for each of us.
Be informed before you buy CBD oil
Many brands are coming on the market like the Wild West. Here are some absolute MUSTS to know about your product. 
- Certification – U.S. Hemp Industry certified

This was helpful information. I had a hunch not all CBD oil was created equallly and this helped explain why it’s not and what to look for when purchasing.
This was interesting! I had a hunch not all Cbd was created equally and this blog helped identify why they’re not and what to look for when purchasing.
I didn’t realize that CBD oil could help asisst with weight loss. Thank you for your post.
Thank you for the information shared here. It is interesting to know that our body is designed to receive CBD and how it creates balance in our body when we do. I also appreciate knowing the product you offer is certified by the US Hemp Roundtable and lab tested by a 3rd party.
I’ve been noticing and enjoying the benefits of Hempworx CBD oil for two months now in many of the ways stated in The Detox Artist’s article above. So grateful! My husband has most noticeably had great reduction in his tinnitus he has lived with since his young years with the US Marine Corps as flight captain on the ship deck. His joint discomfort has also been greatly lessened. Thank you for introducing us to a great natural product. Oh, we have both given up our sleep aid!
I have always wondered about the benefits of CBD! Very interesting information. I would love to hear more.
Erica, you are a wealth of information and I am very thankful for that and for you!
The top results for myself have been improved sleep and mental clarity.
Thank you!
So informative! Great place to get information that is reliable.
I’m so amazed at all the possible ways that CBD oil can be used. I had no idea! I’ve been wondering about my own insomnia issues for quite some time and I’m happy to see many of my questions answered here. Thank you for spreading this knowledge.
Wow, I love this information! Very helpful!
This is a topic I know very little about. Thanks for the education! Very interesting info!
I don’t know much about CBD, but this information has me eager to try it. The article itself is written so clearly that it’s easy to follow what could be a complicated explanation. I’m looking forward to adding so calm to a hectic life, and of course for any possibility of weight loss. Great article!

Aelisa,
It activates our full health potential in many people. CBD interacts with CB receptors all across our bodies to trigger into action the necessary physiological system responsible. It works best given consistency and given our other daily choices on food, exercise, stress, and sleep.
