What’s So Chill about CBD?
After an incredibly informative interview with Jocelyn - founder and entrepreneurial powerhouse behind So Chill - we have a lot to share about CBD and its many benefits.
CBD is an acronym used for cannabidiol which is 1 out of 100 cannabinoids found in cannabis. These are compounds found in a cannabis plant that connects with our endocannabinoid system. Did you know that women produce cannabinoids when they are pregnant? Neither did we! Amazing!
Although CBD is not yet FDA-approved, there are many benefits that people have agreed on. Jocelyn said, “In short it helps keep our body at homeostasis or at balance.” CBD is known to help people with anxiety, inflammation, and insomnia.
When Jocelyn was 20 years old she was diagnosed with Crohn's and Colitis. Her prescribed medications had a negative effect causing her symptoms to worsen. After watching a documentary about how cannabis helps patients with severe Crohn's, she started using cannabis. Jocelyn was able to eat again and her pain went away. She switched to CBD when she learned that it didn’t impair people or make them "high". According to Jocelyn THC can actually make your anxiety worse. This is why CBD which is THC-free relaxed her and helped her socialize better.
So Chill as a business came to be after Jocelyn realized that others could benefit from plant medicine. Her goal is to improve the quality of life for others experiencing anxiety without taking to other harmful methods of self-medication.
We can all relate when we say, work can be stressful! Jocelyn uses CBD to help her during her workday when she has a big presentation coming up or needs to have a difficult take with her colleagues or boss. It relaxes her from the stage fright and keeps her focused.
How does CBD decrease your anxiety?
Through the use of cannabinoids that are naturally created in our own bodies! CBD mimics the endogenous cannabinoids which regulate your mood, immune response, blood pressure, pain, hunger, and more. The use of CBD helps the body boost all of these responses to regulate yourself.
CBD helps Jocelyn stay present and decreases her anxiety. As Jocelyn said, she feels
“healthy because I feel good!” Using CBD along with a nutritious diet and staying moving, is how she stays focused to get through her workday.
