When our body starts to feel stress, tension or pain it turns on inflammation to protect itself.  During the holidays we tend to overindulge when it comes to eating and drinking. And under-indulge for exercising.

Four simple tips for a painless holiday season:

#1 Staying in the holiday spirit, while fighting off inflammation in the body, try adding these anti-inflammatory seasonal foods such as tomatoes, garlic, turmeric, olive oil, salmon, ginger, onions, oranges, walnuts, dark green, broccoli and green tea.

Also, finish eating 2 hours before bedtime will tell your body it’s time to slow down for a restful night sleep.

#2 Rubbing on a topical CBD cream before and after excising helps stop the soreness from inflammation. No time in the day to exercise? Try, bundling up after dinner and go out for a brisk walk. Taking in all the seasonal smells and sights does wonders for your mind and spirit too.

#3 CBD Oil drops make you feel less agitated and more calm and focused. Also, CBD Oil Drops can provide extra help with inflammation throughout your whole body. Another stress buster, anti-inflammatory solution are CBD capsules. Capsules can be taken any time of the day to reduce joint and muscle pain.

#4 An added benefit to reducing your pain is having a better deeper night sleep. But sometimes we need a little extra help with sleep. That is where our Sleep Support Formula comes into play. CBD calms anxiety and melatonin and chamomile encourages sleep. Together they can be helpful on those nights that you a little bit of extra support to get enough sleep to wake up refreshed and feeling good.

By being on the look out for stress inducing triggers and what you are eating will lead to a happier you and less hectic holiday season.

Before ProPlayers, Dawn never tried CBD. Dawn was suffering from back pain. She had horrible lower back pain up to her neck. It was affecting her sleep and everyday movement. She had MRIs and body scans, and still her  doctors couldn’t figure out what was going on in her body.

Dawn first used our CBD intensive cream on her back and instantly felt relief. “I couldn’t believe how quickly the pain went away. I was able to move again and not feel the shooting pain up and down my back.”

Since Dawn’s back pain was so bad she reapplied the cream whenever she felt the pain coming back.

The next day she took a dropper of the 1000mg of CBD Oil Drops in the morning along with rubbing the CBD cream on her neck and back. Everyday she felt better and better.

Fast forward a week. Not only is her back pain gone, she started sleeping again by adding the CBD Oil Drops to her bed time routine.

Congrats Dawn on starting to live pain-free again! Everybody experiences pain differently and everyone’s body is different making everyone’s wellness journey different. Just remember not to be discouraged if your journey takes longer, just remember you are healing your body from the many years of damage.

Owen found out back in 1994 he had been playing volleyball with a broken back while he was at USC and on the Pro Beach AVP Tour. He has had two major back surgeries, 4 knee reconstructive surgeries and right shoulder reconstructed. He has stayed in top shape through proper nutrition and consistent work ethic., but still suffers the aches and pains from being a top athletic.

So when his SC buddy Brad Leggett told him about ProPlayers CBD cream. Owen hesitantly tried ProPlayers cream, knowing that he had tried about every single pain cream on the planet. Owen was blown away on the instant results and had never felt instant pain relief from a topical cream. Owen uses the cream everyday before running the famous Santa Monica stairs.

What Owen loves about the cream is it has allowed him to continue to push the envelope of physical performance and live his best, most active life.

We all know CBD has great anti-inflammatory properties. As we see more cases of Covid-19 on the rise, there has been recent information if CBD could be the answer to help with Covid-19. Researchers at the University of Nebraska and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute are recommending more research into the cannabis-derived CBD for the potential of reducing the harmful lung inflammation cause by Covid-19. A recent article in a Peer reviewed article in this month’s issue of the Brain, Behavior and Immunity, detail some findings on how CBD’s ant-inflammatory properties may help.

In the battle against Covid-19, scientists are looking into how to reduce the inflammation. In the article, researchers explain that the “recent reports have suggested that acute infection is associated with a cytokine superstorm, which contributes to the symptoms of fever, cough, muscle pain,” stated the researchers. These extreme instances lead to inflammation turning into severe cases of pneumonia and difficulty to breathe.

Researchers also looked into the therapeutic benefits of CBD for Covid-19 patients beyond anti-inflammatory treatment, specifically reducing anxiety in those patients who are suffering.  What is being termed the second wave of Covid-19, a mental health pandemic, CBD has shown a means to help manage anxiety. “The many uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic such as status of the economy, employment and loss of connection can fuel depression, fear and anxiety. CBD has shown promise as an alternative therapy for the clinical management of anxiety disorders,” stated the researchers. Also it was pointed out that the increased of inflammation by Covid-19 may trigger higher levels of anxiety and CBD may help reduce these higher levels of stress.

This study nor any other peer reviewed studies to date suggest CBD is a cure all–treatment for Covid-19 but the study does provide worthy evidence for more investigation into CBD and how it can be used to reduce inflammation and anxiety in Covid-19 cases as an aide to the antiviral medications.  This is just one supported theory and more studies need to be done to get us real concrete answers.

I have to say when I first heard about CBD back in 2014 I was a skeptic. I thought since it came from the same plant as MJ it must make you high. What I found from researching CBD, it is non-psychoactive. So, I definitely wanted to give it a try since it has so many medicinal benefits. Here is a glimpse of what I discovered on my CBD Journey.

First Week

I started slowly taking CBD daily beginning with 1000mg of CBD oil drops to help with my anxiety and sleepless nights. The first day, I put a 3 to 5 drops under my tongue and within 15 minutes I had an overall feeling of relaxation.  It was similar to a feeling of a huge weight lifted from me. I could think clearer and was focused when a thousand things came at me all at once.

A few hours later, I could tell the CBD was wearing off  because I was feeling anxiety creep back into my body, so I took a few more drops in the late afternoon. I heard it could help with sleep, which I definitely needed more of in my life. Before I went to bed, I took a few drops hoping it would help. I didn’t sleep all the way through the night but did get some restful ZZZs. What I really liked about it, was I felt awake in the morning, not groggy like over-the-counter medications make you feel.

After One Week

I continued this routine for 5 days and this is what I noticed. In the afternoon I started to feel tired so I changed up my routine. I still took about 5 drops in the morning but I wouldn’t take any more until around dinner time to help me have a relaxing evening.  At bedtime, I increased my intake to a full dropper. I definitely felt the CBD drops were helping my moods and helping me to remain calm and focused throughout my day. My sleepless nights started to change to nights of sleep.

A month later

A true believer in CBD is what I am now. I was actually sleeping through the night and feeling refreshed and rejuvenated in the mornings. It was a feeling I hadn’t felt for many years. I still continue to take CBD everyday to help with my anxiety, inflammation and sleep.  I have added the practice of mediation into my daily CBD routine. In addition, I now take one to two CBD capsules in the morning to help with my inflammation. And when my joints start hurting I will use a topical CBD cream on them. I have noticed my joints hurt me when I get careless on what I foods I eat, specially when I eat dairy or gluten. These two food groups really cause me to get a huge flair up of inflammation in my joints.

Everybody is different

This is my routine but everyone’s body and mind behaviors differently. I am the type of person who has energy in the morning even without caffeine. I usually begin my day thinking over what is on my to-do-list for the day followed by some type of exercising. CBD has helped me throughout my day to stay focus on the tasks I need to complete, stop the overwhelming feelings which leads to stress and reduce the pain I feel from overworked muscles and joint inflammation.

Good luck on your wellness journey! Would love to hear what your experiences have been with your CBD routines.

When you are free from the digital world you can start to dedicate your attention to your surroundings and find some peace in the moment.

Wellness today is no longer just about being physically fit and healthy but also mentally and spiritually healthy too. As we learn more abut mindfulness and living in the present, many people have added CBD Oil drops to their daily routine to ease their mind and stress to connect with the present. For example, taking CBD Oil when stress starts to take over and turns a small trigger into the sense of anxiety throughout the body, it can help stop the overwhelming stressful feeling. Some people have felt the stress leave them and move into a calmer mood where you start to have clearer focus again.

To discover mindfulness, it is good to kick off your day by mediating, which can be as simple as focusing on your breathing for just a few minutes to start. This can help set the mood for the day so when you feel the stress coming on during the day you can return your focus on breathing. And remember CBD can help too!
