I tried CBD OIL for one year for my ANXIETY - This is what happened.
Summary
TLDRIn this video, Autumn, a certified clinical nutritionist, shares her personal experience with CBD/hemp oil in managing anxiety. She explains how CBD helps reduce anxiety by shifting the body from a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) state to a parasympathetic (rest and restore) state. Autumn emphasizes that while CBD is beneficial, it shouldn't be used as a sole solution for anxiety and must be complemented with lifestyle changes like better sleep, exercise, and diet. She also highlights the importance of using CBD consistently to experience its full effects.

Q & A
What are the two main responses in the body that CBD oil helps regulate?
-The two main responses are the parasympathetic (rest and restore mode) and sympathetic (fight-or-flight mode) responses. CBD oil helps reduce the sympathetic response, which can lower anxiety levels.
Why might someone be in a fight-or-flight mode without feeling emotionally stressed?
-You don't need to be emotionally stressed to be in fight-or-flight mode. Factors like too much exercise, lack of sleep, pollution, or toxins can also cause the body to remain in a stressed state.
How does being in a sympathetic state affect digestion and fertility?
-When the body is in a sympathetic state, blood flow is diverted away from the GI tract and fertility organs, causing potential issues like bloating and negatively affecting digestion and fertility.
What is the key effect of CBD oil on anxiety according to the speaker?
-CBD oil helps to lower anxiety by reducing the body’s heightened sympathetic response, making it easier to handle stress without dulling mental sharpness.
How should CBD oil be used for anxiety according to the speaker?
-CBD oil should be used regularly as a supplement for its long-term benefits rather than as an immediate fix for anxiety. Daily usage is important for seeing its full effects.
Does CBD oil make you high?
-No, CBD oil does not get you high unless it contains THC. The speaker emphasizes that hemp oil specifically does not cause a high and recommends using it from a reputable source.
How did the speaker's use of CBD oil evolve over time?
-Initially, the speaker used CBD oil heavily (up to four pumps in the morning and more at night) during periods of intense anxiety. Over time, after making lifestyle changes, the speaker reduced the dosage to just two pumps at night.
What other lifestyle changes did the speaker make alongside using CBD oil to reduce anxiety?
-The speaker made multiple changes, such as switching from running to walking, reducing over-exercising, and adjusting their diet. These changes helped lower their anxiety in combination with using CBD oil.
What is the speaker's advice about relying on CBD oil for anxiety relief?
-The speaker advises against using CBD oil as a crutch. While it helps, it won’t fully heal anxiety on its own. A holistic approach that includes other lifestyle changes is necessary for long-term improvement.
Can CBD oil potentially help with fertility issues?
-The speaker speculates that CBD oil could help with fertility because it redirects blood flow back to the GI tract and fertility organs, but there is no scientific evidence supporting this claim yet.
