Happy June, Father’s Day, and Men’s Health Month!

How CBD Helps with Men’s Health & Psychological Wellness

An increasing number of men are proactively addressing their overall well-being, acknowledging the importance of emotional health in conjunction with physical wellness. Lifestyle medicine via Dean Ornish MD has been taught for decades, but emerging evidence highlights the growing interest in using CBD as a new facilitator of health management. This blog delves into men’s unique health-related challenges and the potential therapeutic benefits of CBD (cannabidiol). CBD is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce psychoactive effects, making it an appealing option for those seeking the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the “high.”

Cardiovascular Health
Heart disease remains a dominant cause of mortality for men, with poor diet, lack of physical activity, and high stress levels as the key contributors. Although traditional methods like lifestyle changes and medication have proven effective, preclinical data shows CBD may hold additional benefits by reducing vascular pressure, lowering blood glucose levels, and providing antioxidant properties. Coupled with exercise and whole food nutrition, CBD may lend additive benefits for heart health. THC is tricky, and may cause tachycardia and heart issues in high doses, so use sparingly and with caution.

Prostate Health
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer are familiar health complications faced by men as they grow older. CBD has demonstrated potential in maintaining prostate health as it can alleviate inflammation and possibly hinder the growth of cancerous cells with its diverse pharmacological activities such as cell growth inhibition, anti-inflammatory effects and tumor regression in preclinical studies. Caring for the prostate also promotes better sexual functioning, and CBD may improve blood flow to the area due to its vasorelaxant properties.

Managing Stress & Sleep
Chronic stress plays a significant role in the development of both mental and physical health problems. CBD may contribute to stress management due to its relaxing effects through modulating serotonin receptors. Stress (#2) follows pain (#1) in bringing people to CBD & cannabis as an alternative option, and avoidance of pharmaceuticals is a motivating factor. Men frequently deal with sleep disorders typically influenced by stress and anxiety. CBD could improve sleep patterns by interacting with the endocannabinoid system and aiding homeostasis in circadian rhythms and reducing anxiety.

The Potential Impact of CBD on Physical Health and Mental Wellness
CBD is renowned for its anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and muscle recovery benefits, and may help maintain exercise and performance day and night. Coupled with stretching, meditation and yoga, men are combating signs of aging, and bolstering sexual health due to enhanced overall well-being.

Work pressures, family responsibilities, and societal expectations can all contribute to high stress levels in men. CBD’s calming effects offer a natural way to achieve a more balanced state of mind. Natural methods to reduce anxiety and depression are always worth a try, especially in our difficult modern world.

Other cannabinoids, such as CBG (cannabigerol) and CBN (cannabinol), could play a part in establishing a comprehensive approach to health and wellness. CBG, according to early research, demonstrates anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and neuroprotective effects, especially in the brain and the gut. CBN is an oxidized form of THC and has sedating properties which helps unwind the mind, and is potentially beneficial in dealing with sleep disorders.

Conclusion
The pursuit of better health and wellness involves a combination of innovative and traditional approaches. Given its potential benefits, CBD, CBG, CBN and other plant compounds are emerging as a promising development in addressing both physical and mental health challenges among men. Observational reports have shown efficacy and soon deeper clinical research might uncover more therapeutic applications.
