Stress is...
What are you doing to manage it?

Midlife can be stressful due to getting older, the kids growing up, and hormonal changes.  If we want to live a fabulous, long life after 40, we must learn to manage our stress so we can build resilience. 
It's so important to adopt tools to manange your stress from the outside, like exercise, meditation, breathwork, and massage.  But, have you ever considered that it can be just as important to take steps to manage your stress on the inside.  This is where various supplements come into play.  CBD happens to be one of Dr. Brooke's favorites, and the ladies are talking all about CBD and its benefits in episode 42 of Life after Kids with Drs. Brooke and Lynne, The CBD Video.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is derived from the cannabis plant.  But, it's extracted in a way that no THC (the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana) is present.  So, you can use CBD safely and reap it's many benefits without the concern of getting high or addicted.  You can take CBD internally as an oil or in a gel cap.  CBD creams and salves can be applied directly to the skin for external use.  We've listed a few of CBD's many benefits below.

Believe it or not, your entire nervous system- brain, spinal cord, and nerves all have receptors for CBD, which are part of your body's endocannabinoid system. Think of the Endocannabinoid System as the body's master regulator. CBD helps modulate this system. Dr. Brooke notes that CBD not only calms her down, but it also centers and focuses her.
