CBD’s benefits on mood and sleep are well-known. But not many people are familiar with CBD’s incredible brain-boosting properties. Find out how our co-founders Kevin Moran and Matt Lombardi use CBD to activate productivity mode.
Nootropics are compounds used to enhance cognitive function, and believe it or not, CBD is considered a nootropic. Its brain-boosting powers mainly come from its ability to help mitigate problems in the brain:
Executive Functioning
CBD interacts with the brain’s prefrontal cortex: the logic, reasoning, and executive function center. This means it may support calm, centered, logical thinking.
Kevin says:
“CBD is a game-changer for me as far as mental performance. I can feel my brain working more efficiently. It’s super useful for meetings where we’re having to dive into complex numbers, or when planning an upcoming quarter.”
Not-so-Nervous System
CBD interacts with adenosine, a chemical that plays a role in the body’s fight or flight response. It can also help to regulate GABA, a neurotransmitter associated with calm.
Matt says:
“Personally, I can feel the difference when I don’t take beam’s CBD. If I’m feeling stressed about the 10,000 things I need to accomplish that day, I can feel the CBD working to put me into a calmer and more centered state. From that place, I’m able to make good decisions and find solutions to problems I may have overlooked.”
Drop and Gimme 5(HTP)
5HTP is a receptor that regulates serotonin production. It interacts with CBD, helping maintain mood and wellbeing.
Kevin says:
“The workday goes by a lot more smoothly when I have my CBD, because it also tends to positively impact my mood. When my state of mind is good, my productivity goes through the roof.”
