Adding Equilibria CBD to My Daily Routine
In the last few months, I’ve seen a huge increase in the number of CBD companies and products hitting the market. Multiple brands have reached out to me to work with them and I’ll be honest, I was very hesitant at first and declined. After seeing a few people talk about a local, women-owned CBD company called Equilibria, I started gaining more interest and ultimately shifted my mindset about CBD. So I want to share why I chose to add Equilibria’s CBD to my daily routine.
Why Equilibria?
Well first of all, the fact that they are a women owned and Chicago based company didn’t hurt. But more importantly, the team at Equilibria takes the time to truly get to know you and what your body needs. After ordering your first shipment, you will have the opportunity to schedule a 1:1 dosage consultation. During my consultation, I was able to ask any questions I have about CBD and learn more about Equilibria’s products as well as the company as a whole.
My consultant asked me several questions about my daily life – like stress and anxiety levels, how well I sleep, how often I workout, among others. With this information, she was able to provide me with a suggested dosage. I started out with one soft gel tablet in the morning and one full dropper of oil at night. So far, it seems to be working really well for me! But she also informed me that it takes about 30 days for your body to adjust to the CBD – so you won’t feel the results immediately. After 30 days, we will evaluate how I’ve been doing and decide whether or not we need to change my dosage levels.
Common Misconceptions about CBD
There are a lot of rumors around CBD and mostly some confusion since it is a newer product. People tend to think that CBD makes you sleepy and lethargic. While in actuality, it can help you wake up in the morning or sleep better at night. There is no one size fits all when it comes to CBD. Some people need more and some people need less – but no one can become addicted to it.
Another misconception, and probably the most common, is that you get high from CBD – like marijuana. Here’s the thing: hemp and marijuana are both cannabis plants, hemp is just bred to have less than 0.3% of THC. Anything over 0.3% of THC is considered marijuana. CBD from hemp is 100% legal in all 50 states because it only has 0.3% or less THC.
What Does CBD Help With?
CBD can help with so much – and much more than I ever knew! Like I said above, it can help you sleep better at night and feel more awake in the morning – but that’s just the beginning. CBD has been shown to positively impact mental and physical well-being.
I am fortunate enough to not struggle with high anxiety levels, but I do feel stressed quite often. CBD can help ease those levels and relax you. Our bodies aren’t built to deal with the constant stress of our daily lives. CBD oil and the chemical compounds found within it help balance stress and anxiety.
How Equilibria has Helped Me
For me personally, I have seen a huge difference in my sleep pattern. I used to wake up in the middle of the night almost every night (ok, sometimes it’s just to go pee). Often times, I wake up and go back to sleep, but other times, I lay restless, my mind racing with tomorrow’s tasks, and not able to fall back asleep for hours.
With the addition of Equilibria to my daily routine, I sleep much better than before. I take a full dropper of the CBD oil shortly after dinner. By the time I’m ready to go to sleep, I feel relaxed and my mind is at ease. I fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Even if I do wake up to go to the bathroom, I fall right back to sleep when I get back in bed.
Another thing I’ve noticed is my mood in the mornings. I commute to work on the “L” train in Chicago, which can be delayed and crammed with way too many people. I used to stress myself out about the train not arriving on time, therefore making me late to work, or the amount of people I would have to squeeze in with to make it on the train. Now I still don’t love those things, but they don’t bother me as much as before.
Try it Out!
Although I’ve only been using Equilibria for just about a month, I can genuinely say that it has made a positive impact on my life. I feel less stressed, better rested, and more focused. I encourage you to try it out if you relate to any of my struggles or feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or just need more/better sleep.
