CBD For Focus and Weight Loss

July 16, 2018 · By: Michele Ross, PhD · In: Cannabis, Fitness

In order to lose weight, you need to train your brain to focus. Unfortunately, distractions from our phones and children, stress, or medical conditions like attention deficit disorder (ADHD) make it hard for us to focus. You need to create new neural circuits for making positive habits that will stick.

Focus on one weight loss goal at a time

Permanent changes in diet, exercise, and sleep form only with practice. Try setting focus on a single goal rather than a broad one to help rewire each action one at a time.

For example, if you are working on losing 50 pounds, building your biceps, and getting washboard abs all at the same time, you’re bound to lose focus as you can’t possibly achieve all those goals at the same time while juggling family and work. Instead, break those goals into separate parts. Focus on muscle building exercises that tone and build arm muscle before worrying about massive weight loss.

Cannabis for focus

Cannabis can enhance focus in some people and worsen it in others. It depends on your genetics, what type of products you are using, the dosage, the terpenes in the strains, and the context you are taking the products in. Some people find THC-containing cannabis makes them able to both enjoy and focus on monotonous tasks like cleaning the house quickly, while others find themselves “couch-locked” and unable to move or think.

CBD for weight loss

For creating new neural pathways that involve diet changes and stopping sugar and junk food cravings, cannabidiol (CBD) may be a superior cannabinoid to THC. THC can increase the appetite and even cause compulsive eating or “the munchies.”

CBD is associated with a reduction in appetite and works in several ways. It may reduce stress eating and increase satiety by activating 5HT-1A serotonin receptors. CBD is also thought to reduce production of the hormone ghrelin that spikes hunger.

It's Neurodiversity Celebration Week & I wanted to provide awareness that different doesn't mean bad. It can mean more creative, more compassionate, and more thoughtful. ⁣

Having a diagnosis doesn't mean you're limited, in fact, many successful entrepreneurs, including @RichardBranson, CEO of @Virgin, and Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of @Ikea have ADHD.⁣

Working remotely to limit distractions and increase comfort, using plant medicines for focus and stress relief, finding online systems that keep you organized in a way that feels good for you, and allowing your authentic self to be expressed is important to helping you shine.⁣

Since I can’t eat sugar (I’m on the keto diet) Since I can’t eat sugar (I’m on the keto diet), I tried putting it on my face!
This Soul Addict C🐝D Honey Mama Manuka Face Mask rocks!
You can technically eat it. And it doubles as a sugar face scrub when you’re ready to rinse off!
It has ashwagandha, camu camu, peppermint oil, full-spectrum hemp, and coconut oil to help clear redness, boost collagen, prevent acne, brighten skin and more.
Loved the minty feeling, it perked me up for half an hour after washing it off, great for fatigue! 
My almost 40 year old skin was so soft and glowing afterwards. Will definitely use again ☀️
