Is the United States facing a mental health crisis? A look at the data points to yes. Americans are reporting more symptoms of anxiety, depression, or both than have ever been measured before. How is your mental health holding up?

CBD and Your Pursuit of Happiness

What do you do to maintain your mental well-being? Do you set aside time for low-stress exercise like walking, yoga, or tai chi? Do you practice meditation or prayer? Are you prioritizing healthy sleep, self-care, and quality time with family and friends? All of these behaviors are important to maintain your physical and mental health. If you’ve had trouble sustaining healthy habits lately, you are not alone. However, Americans can no longer afford to be ruled by the tyranny of anxiety and despair. 

Establishing a new state of mind when you have been governed by stress and uncertainty may seem like a heroic effort. This is where supplements like CBD (cannabidiol) can help you make a stand. CBD oil does not replace the healthy habits that you must now establish; however, its effects in the body can halt the snowballing effects of anxiety leading to poor sleep and impulse eating, leading to inflammation and oxidative stress, leading to fatigue and anxiety. A maker of high-quality CBD oil like Bluebird Botanicals can provide you with detailed information about CBD’s effects in the body.

First, take a candid look at the facts of our mental health crisis.

The National Mental Health Crisis

There is no doubt that more adults, especially teens and young adults, are experiencing signs of clinical anxiety and depression in the U.S. than at any time previously measured. In the 2020 census, one-third of adults surveyed reported symptoms of anxiety, depression, or both. For some questions, the proportion of people who reported negative affect nearly every day had doubled since the previous survey in 2013-2014.

Reasons given for stress and anxiety include financial worries, uncertainty about the future, anxiety about politics and current events, and concerns about the pandemic that began in 2020. While it’s understandable to point to unprecedented events as a source for unprecedented stress, one thing about anxiety has not changed since 1776 – anxiety is always centered around events outside of your control, including things which have not yet happened and may never happen.

Most people define “crisis” as a “problem,” and that’s fair – but “crisis” refers to a “crossroads.” When you reach the point of crisis, what you do next will determine your outcome – continue along the same path, or choose another.

Toward a New State of Mind

Quietly, in the background of this looming crisis, people are taking a stand to combat anxiety and its harmful effects on the body. In 2018, the Farm Bill legalized hemp and its non-psychoactive derivative, CBD. It is in this context that United We Chill CBD was created.

Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol,) which is derived from marijuana, CBD does not produce an intoxicating “high.” A growing body of research supports its use as a supplement that lowers inflammation, reduces stress and anxiety, and improves sleep. In addition to lowering anxiety, CBD has potential to reduce alcohol dependence and abuse of narcotics, two of the many grievances that the mental health crisis has brought to bear on this nation. 

The truth of how to improve your pursuit of happiness is self-evident; you must sleep well, eat healthy, avoid addictive habits that don’t serve your higher purpose, exercise your body and your mind, connect with your family and friends, and practice gratitude. CBD oil cannot make these changes for you, but it can help you break free from the tyranny of anxiety and despair, let go of that which you cannot control, get a good night’s sleep, and begin to choose another path.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
