CBD oil! You've probably heard about it and
seen it discussed everywhere from Joe Rogan to Forbes. Is it any good for anxiety? In
this video, we'll dive into the research. Also, if you're tired of looking for the next
great supplement for whatever it is you're dealing with, stick around for Bring the Heat
at the end. I've got a motivational speech brewing for you. This is The Dr. K Show. I'm Dr. Karthik Ramanan. I help ambitious
individuals end self criticism with tools and strategies to create optimal everyday
mental health. If you're new here and you need to silence that critical voice in your
head to get out of your own way and live a purposeful life, I’m here for you. I encourage
you to subscribe right now. It's Showtime. Before we address whether CBD oil is effective
for anxiety, I just need to say this. Supplements in general can be used very effectively especially
when working with a trained integrative physician. But taking CBD or another supplement, while
useful acutely, isn't going to address the underlying reason for why you're dealing with
anxiety. Get help, and work with a therapist or naturopathic physician to get to the root
cause. Doing so changed my life, and I know you'll thank yourself later as well. First, let me give you a quick explanation
for what CBD is and how it works in the body. Our bodies as well as those of other vertebrate
animals have a system called the endocannabinoid system. It's involved in a variety of processes
including cognitive function, appetite, pain sensation, memory, mood, metabolism, concentration,
sleep, inflammation. A lot. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that act on cannabinoid
receptors in the endocannabinoid system. They can be made by our bodies or found in plants. CBD stands for cannabidiol, and it is one
such cannabinoid compound. It comes from cannabis plants. There are actually a few cannabis
species that fall under the Cannabaceae family of flowering plants. In case you were curious.
The cannabinoid you've probably heard a lot about over the years is 9-tetrahydrocannabinol,
or THC. Do not get THC and CBD confused. They are completely different compounds and act
very differently in the body. THC produces psychoactive effects, or that high feeling,
and CBD has no psychoactive effects. A question I get asked a lot is if CBD is
safe. As of the making of this video, the FDA has not approved cannabis as a medical
treatment, but the National Institutes of Health has researched CBD. Their findings
indicate that CBD may have potential positive effects for mental health issues along with
inflammatory conditions and other. That said, this is one of those times where I have to
say, you ought to work with a naturopathic or integrative physician to determine if these
compounds are right for you. Please be smart. Alright, CBD for anxiety. A paper was published
in the journal Neurotherapeutics entitled Cannabidiol as a Potential Treatment for Anxiety
Disorders. The authors studied 49 preclinical, clinical, epidemiological, and neuroimaging
studies to determine whether CBD had a role as a potential treatment option for anxiety-related
disorders. They concluded that CBD was effective in reducing anxiety behaviors relevant to
multiple disorders including PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder. They also found the lack of anxiogenic effects,
meaning CBD did not add to anxiety symptoms. Are you getting value out of this? Hit that
like button. A three month study of 103 adults found that
nearly 80% of the participants who were given CBD reported improved anxiety symptoms which
remained improved for the duration of the study. A study examined patients with social anxiety
disorder and found that CBD treatment was associated with reduced anxiety as measured
through neuroimaging. If you're interested in reading more, my friend
and colleague Dr. Nicole Cain wrote an excellent article on CBD for anxiety which I'll link
in the video description below. So does this mean you should go out and get
a CBD supplement for your anxiety? Here are some things to consider. First, the recommended
dose of CBD is still yet to be thoroughly studied. Some studies indicate that increased
dosages work better to a certain point, then as you go even higher, becomes less and less
effective. That bell shaped curve very well may vary from person to person. Also, and this applies to all nutritional
supplements, you need to know where your product is coming from. There are a LOT of poor quality
supplements out there from major retailers that don't have enough active ingredient or
just aren't effective. I don't trust or recommend supplements found at traditional retailers
both for my patients and my family. If you want the highest quality medical-grade supplements
that integrative physicians recommend and prescribe, you want to go through a service
like FullScript. This video isn't sponsored, but my patients and I love their service.
At the time this video is published, they currently don't carry CBD supplements, but
I do have a select few herbal supplements for anxiety that I've added to my Anxiety
Support category on FullScript that you can check out. When they do carry high quality
CBD supplements, I will certainly add them. You can get 10% off with my link below. Question of the Day: Have you tried any supplements
for anxiety? If you feel like being awesome, let me know in the comments below. Today’s Progress Success is brought to you
by my friend Bobby. He's got a channel on YouTube called Bobby K Designs. Progress Success
is all about celebrating incremental progress as well as the ah-ha moments, and he had one
recently that's allowing him to better serve his audience. He realized that, like all of
us content creators, we're always talking to two people: the people who already know
us, and those who don't know us yet. It's the little things that allow us to serve others
better, and I'm glad he had that ah-ha moment. Are you sick of trying to find the supplement
that's going to address whatever ailment you're dealing with? Whether it's a mental health
concern or a physical condition, I totally get it. First, we get excited that maybe this,
this supplement is the one we've been looking for. We spend our hard earned money, try it
for a while, and maybe it doesn't produce the desired result. We get frustrated and
go right back to looking for the next one. We get excited all over again, and the cycle
continues. What if there was another way? There is. Get help. Look, I know it can be
terrifying going to a therapist for a mental health concern or a naturopathic or integrative
physician for a comprehensive look at your physical and mental health. I put off getting
help myself for years because I didn’t want to feel weak. I thought I was smart enough
to figure it out and tough enough to endure it. No. What would it mean to you if you had the physical
energy and the mental joy to do the things you care about in your life? What would it
mean to you if you had the vitality of health that allowed you to be resilient to stress,
change your career, ask that someone out, spend quality time with your kids, or just
be proud of yourself? You CAN have it. You DESERVE to have it. I get that it's scary
to reach out for help, but is it worth the pain you're enduring? It isn't going to change
unless YOU fundamentally take action to change. Let today be the day you reach out to a therapist.
Let today be the day you call a naturopathic physician. Let today be the day you start
your journey to becoming the greatest version of yourself. I believe in your greatness.
