Consistency is key for CBD

1 Comment

Read Now
 
Are you able to stay consistent with taking your Hempworx CBD oil each day? 

In order for a CBD oil to be effective – consistency is key! Without it, CBD just isn’t as effective.

I would venture to say the number one reason people don’t see the results they are looking for is the lack of consistency.  Taking your CBD needs to become a habit!  The results of good habits also compound over time.
Picture
Why are you taking CBD?
The pursuit of living a healthier lifestyle is a common reason people choose CBD.  Whether it's a general feeling of blah or a down feeling in the morning, let your CBD help you find balance.  When we start to take Hempworx CBD, we need to build up the receptors in our body so it starts accepting the oil to work.  

Humans, all mammals in fact, have an endogenous (inert) cannabinoid system. This system produces cannabinoid compounds that bind to receptors in the brain and throughout the body. 
 
For example, Anandamide and 2AG compounds occur naturally in humans.  Since discovery in 1992, our endocannabinoid system was named after the discovery that cannabinoids from the cannabis plant interact in the human body to complement the work of our endogenous cannabinoids. 
I’m not pulling your leg!   
We have a vast cannabinoid signaling network that regulates many of the physiological systems in our body as important as
  • digestive system,
  • how we make hormones,
  • and our immune system.  

We have a vast cannabinoid signaling network that regulates many of the physiological systems in our body.
SUPER important!  We produce endocannabinoids effectively when fed proper nutrition (think 1:1 omega 6’s to omega 3’s) and cannabis-derived cannabinoids.  Dozens of plants – not just cannabis – contain compounds that interact with the endocannabinoid system.
Try Habit Stacking
So back to my main point, if you are struggling to remember to take your CBD daily, try something called habit stacking.  Pair taking CBD with something else you already do daily.

For example:
  • Take your CBD after brushing your teeth
  • Put it next to your night stand and take a serving before turning out the lights
  • etc.
Over time, doing that other habit will become the cue to take your serving of CBD.

Also, to ensure you never run out, make sure you order at least one full week before you expect to run out. Or take advantage of the bundle of four products for the price of three.  (Director's Pack)

CBD Smile
Picture
There is no identifiable point that things happen with CBD.  In my experience, there is just the “absence of” after you take it.
 
My customers agree that you realize at some point you slept better, weren’t stressed and didn’t panic in a crowd.  You realize you didn’t fidget, toss or turn, and all your thoughts came out more clear and focused.  

​Many people experience the CBD Smile and describe it as:
the absence of anxiousness, stress, nerves, irritability, sleeplessness, restlessness, fogginess, pain, blah.
Read about 8 Ways CBD Does a Body Good in my previous post.

"Tight Home" Sickness

1 Comment

Read Now
 
Have you ever thought about the quality of the air your family breathes at home?
According to the EPA, the air quality in the average home can be 4 to 40 times dirtier than the air outside. This can be due to issues that range from dander, detergents, moisture and mold to radon, EMF radiation, carbon monoxide poisoning and asthma. The source of these issues, include toxic cleaning products, chemicals in the water, electronics, poor filtration, bad ventilation, homeowner behavior, and off-gassing from household products and finishes.

Considering how much time your family spends indoors, you really owe it to yourself to learn more about "tight home" sickness and ways to improve the health in your home.

Whole Home Detox

* indicates required
The "Tight Home" epidemic started in the early 70's upon the tightening of homes to make them less drafty and thereby improving the energy efficiency of the home. We also started seeing substantial increase in products made with toxic compounds such as synthetics, polymers, phosphates, acids, etc..

When the criteria was set for Energy Star Homes, it sealed the deal against Mother Nature. You see a tight home seals in...Dirty, Sick and Toxic Air. The average home contains over 60 toxic chemicals. Ironically, the majority of those lurk in the very items we use to clean our home.

Are you dealing with "seasonal" allergies? Consider this: our bodies need fresh air to aid the body in excreting hazardous compounds. Your body will detox pretty much the same rate each day. However, if your home is adding daily to the body's toxic burden, then the amount of hazardous compounds it needs to excrete will surpass its capacity to detox them.

Dirty Tap Water in Des Moines, IA and How to Clean It

0 Comments

Read Now
 
EWG's NEW tap water database is here.  I originally wrote this article in July 2019, and have just updated it to reflect the new data from Des Moines Water Works. 

​Many people drink tap water straight from their faucet, but did you know there are several contaminants in our tap water?  Specifically, for Des Moines, Iowa, I did a quick check on the EWG’s (Environmental Working Group) 
website which has systematically run water tests and checks throughout Greater Des Moines and the rest of the United States, and it was found that there are approximately seven (7) contaminants within our Des Moines Water Works water supply which, while don't meet EWG (Environmental Working Group)  guidelines, are still present in our water, and there are around 10 other detected contaminants in our tap water!

Out of these seven (7) contaminants that exceed standards in our tap water, ALL of them are known to increase the risk of cancer.  Again, this is all stated in the EWG website.  I find this to be a unique tool:  all you have to do is click 
here, punch in your zip code, and it will bring up the results of the water quality tests completed in that area. While Des Moines, IA is in compliance with legally mandated federal standards, there is still one obvious fact:  we still have contaminants in our tap water!
Picture
What kind of contaminants are in our tap water?
According to the EWG website, these are the following contaminants in Des Moines, Iowa's water supply which include the eleven ones that exceed health guidelines at the top of the list and the rest that are simply detected in our water supply:
  • Bromodichloromethane 175x, cancer
  • Chloroform, 53x, cancer
  • Chromium (hexavalent), 36x, cancer
  • Dibromochloromethane, 62x cancer
  • Dichloroacetic acid, 8.6x, cancer
  • Nitrate, 42x, cancer 
  • Radiological contaminants, cancer
  • Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs), 263x, cancer 

Other contaminants detected:
  • Hormones (Hormones in drinking water come from human and animal wastewater discharged into drinking water sources. Conventional drinking water treatment does not remove hormones.)
  • Atrazine (pesticide known to change male frogs into female frogs)
  • Trichloroacetic acid
  • Chlorate
  • Chromium (total)
  • cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene
  • Dibromoacetic acid
  • Haloacetic acids (HAA5)
  • Metolachlor
  • Molybdenum
  • Strontium
  • Vanadium

It's difficult to prioritize the damage and health threat among these contaminants because they are all detrimental to our health, and when combined together day-after-day, the toxin burden to our bodies can cause real damage.


The research is profound. Let's look at nitrates alone.  According to the Iowa Environmental Council, Iowa nitrate levels are killing us. The top health effects of nitrates in drinking water include:
  • blue baby syndrome - a fatal condition when red blood cells become unable to bind with oxygen.
  • increased risks of bladder, ovarian, thyroid cancers in women and birth defects with prenatal exposure.
  • blue green algae blooms caused by excess nutrients release toxin that pass through standard water treatment facilities. The toxins affect the nervous system, liver, digestive system, and form tumors. They also make the water taste bad.

In June 2019, a EWG peer-reviewed research study estimated cancer cases in each state in America.  In Iowa, 300 cancer cases per year are estimated to be directly-related to nitrates in our drinking water.  Study here.

Beyond nitrates, disinfectants like chlorine used to treat drinking water can react with algae to form byproducts, such as trihalomethanes. These are linked to rectal, bladder, and colon cancers; reproductive health, liver, kidney, and central nervous system problems. 
IN-HOME ANALYSIS OF YOUR H20
How to Clean Dirty Tap Water in Des Moines, IA
Luckily for us residing in Greater Des Moines, and the United States, there are many ways we can clean dirty tap water and rid our homes of gross bacteria and other contaminants which could be harboring in your water.
  1. REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM Using a membrane to purify water, an RO system removes all bacteria and viruses from the drinking water at a specific spigot in the home, and  also removes chemical contaminants at a molecular level such as nitrates, fluoride, arsenic, chromium, lead, pesticides, herbicides, etc. (to name a few).
  2. WHOLE HOUSE CARBON FILTER  Incoming water is polished and clarified by the whole-house taste & odor filter that removes chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemicals that are often found in tap water. Typically, the QRS filter is placed ahead of a RainSoft water conditioner (softener) and feeds it very clean water, allowing the two pieces of technology to work together, and helping the conditioner to last longer.
  3. WATER SOFTENER SYSTEM Hard water is known to clog pipes, shower heads, and can eventually ruin your home appliances such as washers, dryers, dishwashers, etc (not to mention carry all kinds of bacteria and contaminants).  It also sticks to skin and hair allowing chemicals in our soap products to bind to the calcium and clog pores.  This leads to skin allergies and hormone disruption.  By purchasing a Rainsoft water softener system from The Detox Artist, our water softener systems remove positively charged ions typically from magnesium and calcium.  You no longer need to use harmful soap products in your home that are laden with chemicals intended to soften your water because you've got the softest, cleanest water on the block.
