Description
We're challenging the status quo of health and safety in the US Fire Service. Listen in as we interview guests from the fields of mental health, fitness, sports medicine, chiropractic and of course, the Fire Service.We're interested in leaving the Fire Service better than we found it by letting firefighters have a more common-sense based standard for physical and mental wellness. There's a better way to do it and we're getting the message out! Thanks for listening brothers and sisters!

In this episode I decided to take a deep dive into the peer-reviewed research behind CBD and sleep. I originally wanted to title it, "We're running out of excuses." It doesn't cause a failed drug test, it doesn't cause intoxication, and it has an excellent safety profile. Let's get this stuff into the fire service. We're here to build confidence in this product and let the fire service know that CBD can be made safe for the job! So, if you have someone that needs to listen to ...

I've heard all the lines: "CBD is a fad""The government will out-regulate the product""No major organizations will adopt CBD policies"To dispel each of these: CBD research is hitting an all-time high.The last holdout states restricting hemp have all allowed hemp production and CBD salesMajor organizations that allow CBD use:National Hockey League (NHL)Major League Baseball (MLB)World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for Olympic AthletesThe World Health Organization states CBD is safe for use and has...
Well first: WHY are you taking it?Keep in mind CBD lasts about 6 hours on average and takes about one hour to kick in.CBD for chronic anxiety throughout the day means you should take it in the morning and maybe once more in the afternoon.If you wanted to take CBD for sleep you should take it 1 hour before bed.A lot of the dosing and timing of CBD is all about how you feel. Start with 1 dropper and see how you feel! We're here to build confidence in this product and let the fire ser...
How much CBD should you be taking at a time? Is there an overdose limit? Research is very clear on one thing: taking very high doses of CBD at once is very safe. No overdose limit has been found in humans.The reasons why you’re taking CBD matter when it comes to the dose you choose. Sleep, for example is only improved with doses more than 25mgWhile everyone needs to adjust CBD to their effective level, it’s a good idea to start of at 1 single serving (33mg) for #Rescue1CBD and then incre...
Policy is everything in this caseStraight to the point: CBD doesn't cause intoxication, a "buzz", high or inability to operate machinery or vehicles. THC does.Since it's federally legal and it's non-intoxicating there's nothing wrong with consuming CBD during the daytime or driving after doing so. But, at the firehouse depends on your department's policy.I wanted to take a minute to expand on that. Check out our video or podcast episode below and share with someone you know needs to hear this...

Anxiety is associated with multiple hormonesWe know that CBD affects two of them: Cortisol and SerotoninWe've talked about cortisol before, it being tied to inflammation and stress. While it has its place, when it gets out of control it causes physiological changes that sometimes cause some pretty crappy symptoms. Serotonin is your happy hormone and is targeted by anti-depression and anti-anxiety medication.So, this episode is about exactly that. ____________________________________...
When we think of inflammation, we think of swelling and pain after we're injured.But, the truth is we have a level of inflammation in our bodies at all times. It's natural and healthy to have a balance of inflammatory hormones throughout your organs and tissues. When there is an imbalance and levels of inflammatory hormones are elevated for too long, you're in a state of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.This basically means your body has an increased level of stress being put on...
