Wanna Try CBD, But You're Not Sure Where To Start?

Unfortunately, lots of us feel overwhelmed when it comes to both buying CBD and how to use it; is it safe? I know I sure did. That's why I went back to school and hit the research with my team of medical doctors to learn everything I could about CBD, as I’m seeing more and more clients each day who have, or have had cancer, and suffered greatly from not only cancer itself, but also its harsh treatments. 

Through that education, I've learned simple ways that adding CBD to your daily self-care routine can improve sleep and increase relaxation to help manage stress and anxiety, or other chronic health conditions like aches and pains that prevent you from feeling good. My goal is to help change the world’s perception of CBD and provide the safest, purest, premium, homegrown, natural botanicals in the U.S., that every family member can take when needed as a way to take care of their health.  

I prefer to refer to self-care as “well care” because it's a critical part of any happy and healthy holistic, leaner lifestyle, which is why it is one of my top recommendations. I’m a firm believer that prevention is always the best solution when it comes to taking care of our bodies, minds, and spirits.

Most people aren't aware of what CBD can do for them. If stress and anxiety are getting the best of you, it's time for some nature-made intervention, and CBD is one of the best when it comes to our daily wellness. 

Adding CBD to your daily wellness health habits will no doubt improve the quality of your life. Not only is it better for your body, but it's a lot less expensive compared to the drugs we all reach for. It doesn’t have the side effects, like slowing weight loss, blocking fat burning, or damaging your liver. In fact, CBD is one of the BEST ways to take your vitamins.

In my private practice, I use a combination of metabolic nutritional supplements that almost always includes CBD. Due to today's stress levels, it not only helps my clients manage the anxiety that can cause them to smoke or overeat, but it also helps with autoimmune conditions and the all too common physical symptoms of pain and inflammation, whether it be from old sports injuries or arthritis that comes with aging and overuse.

I love to help teach the women (and men) that I work with how to use CBD with their own self-care routine to improve their symptoms and enhance the overall quality of their lives, starting with improving their sleep, which is what I feel CBD does best. This is connected directly to alleviating brain fog and aches and pains, just to name a few.

But first, how do you know if you need it? I personally think everyone should have at least one bottle in their medicine cabinet (we have at least one bottle per person and keep it next to our bed... no judging... lol).

I suggest starting by doing an hourly check-in with yourself (no time... avoid cell phones, texting, and social media throughout the day; you'll be surprised at how much time you have).

There are many ways to do this, and there are no right or wrong ways. You need to create a habit of checking-in with yourself by taking a physical inventory of how you feel each day, throughout the day. That way, you'll know what you need. For example, I gauge my energy, mood, and also my body aches when I wake up, after I've walked on my treadmill, read my daily devotional, and watched Joyce Meyer (I do this on the treadmill every day before I do anything else). This allows my body enough time to wake up. If I don't allow my body to wake up, my response can be... 'nuff said, right?

If I’m feeling super-stressed (TV and cameras do that to me), I don't over-stimulate myself; instead, I take CBD to ease stress and anxiety. If I’m exhausted, I know it’s always because I didn't get a good night's sleep, and that's when I take my CBD.

Checking in with yourself every hour is one of the best ways to prevent bad habits from occurring (if you're still smoking, drinking, or overeating, this is gonna be a game-changer for you). Knowing what you are feeling helps you address the issue with the right solutions versus guessing. Answer honestly to yourself about how you're feeling. For instance, a level 2 ache or pain is okay, but a level 3 is unacceptable, and it's time for a little nature intervention, and that's exactly where CBD comes in.

Tired? If it's morning, a shot of LynFit Daily Power Shot can help you navigate through your day. Craving? LynFit Accelerator Advanced or LynFit Keto Carb Edge with your Complete Protein Shake (I’d personally have a LynFit Lean Bar too) can help you avoid backsliding into the overeating cycle. And, I’d be willing to guess without knowing your story, that you may want to add (1-2 dropper-fulls) LynFit Daily Wellness Liquid Drops before bed to improve your sleep, which is almost always the problem underneath that drives mood, health, poor food choices, and unhealthy habits like drinking daily or continuing to smoke.

I’m sure you're beginning to see how critical a good night's sleep is when it comes to rebooting your body, mind, and spirit. And no, taking “drugs” isn't the same! 

To recap: Make time throughout the day to check-in with yourself, and make sure that you are feeling your best, and if not, decide to do something about it. You have more control than you think.

The first step is always the hardest, so here goes—let's walk together. Here are my favorite ways to use CBD (we refer to as Daily Wellness) to your healthy lifestyle. It should be in everyone’s medicine cabinet because the whole family can and should use it, including your dog or cat!

ADD LYNFIT DAILY WELLNESS TO YOUR DAILY SUPPLEMENT ROUTINE

The smart use of safe supplementation can play an important role in any daily self-care routine and improve your health tenfold. Most of my regular clients that use Daily Wellness take it at the same time every day when they typically take their nutritional supplements and drink their delicious Complete Protein Shake.

Taking Daily Wellness (sublingual is best - capsules are also good if you travel a lot) should be taken daily for the best results.

Sublingual simply means holding the Daily Wellness drops under your tongue for absorption (typically for 60-90 seconds, or as long as you can). Sublingual absorption is best because it has a 30 percent or more bioavailability rate, which is higher than oral (taking capsules) consumption. However, before you go and discard those Daily Wellness capsules, it’s important to know that capsules make it easy to travel with CBD, and most people feel that they last longer. 

There are no standard dosing recommendations because you can't really overdose on CBD. It's always best to start low and increase your dosage slowly over time, or on an as-needed basis. A small dose placed under the tongue before bed is a good place to start, and what I love most is that if I’m having one of those menopausal nights where I can't sleep, despite my best efforts, I get up and take more. When we moved across the country, I needed to take three full dropper-fulls due to the physical stress and its effects on my body.

For daily use, I recommend my 1000mg Full Spectrum Daily Wellness Liquid Drops for any beginner looking to start using CBD.

ADD LYNFIT DAILY WELLNESS TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

A simple daily skincare ritual should be a part of your daily WellCare habits. Not only does it improve your skin so you look your best, but also because your skin is the largest organ in our body, which is why it's so important to take time to care for it.

If you haven't tried adding Daily Wellness Drops to your skin, you’ll quickly discover how amazing it can be for your skin and its health. Don't be lured into expensive skincare products; add some CBD to your LynFit Daily Hydration with SPF to nourish and protect your skin with natural botanicals and other important nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

Adding Daily Wellness Drops to your daily facial hydration moisturizer or body lotion incorporates numerous benefits (like pain relief) more effectively than purchasing the expensive CBD creams because you can control the amount needed. You can do this each day by adding (2 dropper-fulls) to your ounce of cream/lotion before applying it to your aches and pains, which is helpful because your body can absorb CBD through your skin.

I've rubbed CBD directly onto my forehead when I've felt a migraine coming on. I have my 77-year-old mom rub CBD right onto her hands when they ache. Don't be fooled by thinking those menthol-like creams are helping you heal when you can add your own CBD with a product like Vapor Rub for a lot less dinero, and you get more control over the dose.

Using Daily Wellness Drops this way topically (where you add it to your creams and lotions) has almost a 30 percent bioavailability rate because your dosing is more accurate and the freshness of the product makes it even more potent.

The topical use of CBD requires no ingestion, which is desirable for many clients. This provides topical targeted relief for common issues like pain and inflammation, but what's better about it is that it addresses the underlying issues that cause aches and pain, to begin with, versus providing a quick deceiving fix that menthol can deliver, but is just a band-aid. It doesn't hurt, but you can buy your own menthol and mix it yourself and save a fortune!

Mix it ahead, so it's convenient, and you can take it with you when you travel. I leave mine in my purse for a quick fix.

ADD LYNFIT DAILY WELLNESS DROPS TO YOUR PROTEIN SHAKES, BLISS BALLS, LEAN BARS, HOT COCOA, OR ANY FOOD OR DRINK, FOR THAT MATTER

I don't know about you, but sometimes, adding one more thing to my mile-long to-do list can overwhelm me to the point that it prevents me from doing anything.

Eating Daily Wellness (I love how that sounds), also known as oral consumption, has an approximately six percent bioavailability rate, meaning you typically need to use more to see the same results. For most people, that's just fine because it makes it so easy. That's exactly why I add my 1000mg Daily Wellness to my favorite recipes. You can add more milligrams of CBD in a smaller volume because of its potency, and it doesn't take hours.

I do a “big cook” on Sundays, where I make my own homemade edibles for the week (I freeze them ) by mixing CBD into my unbaked version of Protein Bliss Balls. I also make my own salad dressings for the week. This not only helps to stay on track, but it also reduces the stress immensely, thanks to the calming benefits of Daily Wellness.

It doesn't matter whether you take a few hours on meal prep Sunday, or sip a Skinny Hot Chocolate Latte with CBD drops added. Adding CBD to your food or drinks is one of the easiest ways to incorporate CBD into your daily health habits.

NOTE: Most of the women I work with prefer to add CBD to their smoothies because they are already in the habit of doing this.

CBD treats are nice, but you won't get the measured amount, and the calories can add up if you're not careful. Stay tuned for more delicious tips for baking and cooking with CBD in my soon-to-be-released Metabolic Mega Salad Recipe book.

ADD LYNFIT DAILY WELLNESS TO YOUR BEDTIME ROUTINE... SCRATCH THAT... MAKE IT YOUR BEDTIME ROUTINE

This is my personal favorite now that I've crossed the 50’s mark (ladies, you know what that means). Good sleep is not just for menopausal women (and men), its a critical component for every person walking the planet who desires to live a healthier, happier, and holistic lifestyle. But for most people today, good sleep is hard to come by.

Research now proves that cannabinoids like CBD help to improve the quality of sleep, helping us to reach deep sleep, which is where our body’s mind can be restored, and healing occurs. It also decreases sleep disturbances and helps us fall asleep faster. Don't take my word for it; try it and do your own research. You'll soon see what all the buzz is about when it comes to CBD and a good night's sleep.

If you're struggling to get a good night's sleep, you're going to want to attack this problem by addressing the issue head-on and take CBD multiple times throughout the day, and again at bedtime. This helps saturate your body with the nutrients needed for a deeper, more healing sleep that boosts brain power and memory (poor memory is a sign your sleep needs work).

If your sleep issues are severe (you don't sleep 3-4 nights out of 7), the best sleep combo for the job is (1-2 dropper-fulls) of LynFit's Daily Wellness Drops and (1) LynFit Lean Sleep because you can take it sublingually (under the tongue) and also apply it topically. I rub it onto my forehead to help ease the tension that causes headaches. It also helps to erase wrinkles (I need all the help I can get) :)

You can also add LynFit's Daily Wellness Drops to your bath/bedtime routine by helping to relax your body, soothe tired muscles, and help you wind down with a relaxing CBD massage by applying it to your head, neck, and/or shoulders to release tension buildup.

LYNFIT DAILY WELLNESS FOR A STRESS MANAGEMENT TOOL

If you're living in today's world, the odds are you've got stress. As one of my favorite pastors says, "No matter how faithful you are, you're still flesh and can be affected by daily stress." That's why most of us need to add CBD to our daily self-care routine, along with a good stress management plan, of course (prayer works).

Having a bottle of LynFit Daily Wellness Drops is like having a secret weapon. It's quick-acting (faster than capsules) and only takes one minute to administer the healing CBD oils and experience the immediate anxiety-calming effect. It will help balance mood swings and regulate your emotions that can get out of sorts like the road rage many men experience, which is a sign your body has been affected by stress and needs soothing.

If you're a smoker, and you're still smoking due to stress, Daily Wellness use is one of the most effective ways to help you stop. Simply swap your smokes for a smokeless way to ease stress by dropping a few drops under your tongue instead, several times a day. You'll love knowing it won't cause the weight gain that's usually associated with quitting because it addresses the underlying issues affecting your body, removing the urges to smoke or overeat. The benefits are endless and depend on your individual health goals.

That's why LynFit decided to carry a medical-grade, pure CBD. It's the best quality, safest, and purest you can buy without a prescription.

I always tell my clients that just like anything else, there is no magic pill or cure-all that will magically erase stress and anxiety. We still have work to do (like learning to let go and let God and turn our fears into power praise, especially in those dark moments when everything seems so hopeless).

Treat CBD as a tool to use in conjunction with a variety of other stress and anxiety-relieving modalities, for maximum effectiveness. The #1 place to start? Think H.A.L.T.

  • H: Hungry? Eat on schedule to avoid excessive hunger and nourish your body.
  • A: Angry? Let it go! You can, you know!
  • L: Lonely? Call a friend, and remember, you're never alone. God's got you!
  • T: Tired? Prevention is a powerful tool. Take your CBD and Lean Sleep to improve your sleep hygiene.
