 The 9K Experience Episode 6 Title: How CBD Works in the Human Body Pre-Intro: So, we’ve been talking about the benefits of CBD, how it’s helped me and many others get off of thousands of prescription pills a year, the symptoms it helps alleviate. Today I want to talk about how CBD works in the human body. Stick around and we’ll jump into that here shortly. Intro: Sponsor: The 9K Experience is brought to you by DeVega CBD Relief, founded in 2018 by Scott Van and Chris Bentler. These two guys have created an amazing company and they really care about people. Check them out at devegacbd.com for all your CBD needs. From social media: Funny Quotes about CBD and Weed. Main Topic: Endocannabinoid Systems (ECS) Our bodies have an Endocannabinoid System. It does not have an Ibuprofen system. History of the Endocannabinoid SystemThe first cannabinoid discovered was cannabinol (CBN) in 1895.This led to the identification of cannabidiol (CBD) in 1940. 1964 Israeli Professor Raphael Mechoulam – identified tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). These studies led to research on cannabinoids and scientists discovered they possessed therapeutic benefits. 1988 cannabinoid receptors were discovered in the brains of animals. The presence of cannabinoid receptors meant organisms were naturally designed to interact with cannabinoids. Led to theories that humans and animals produced their own cannabinoids. 1992- Lumir Hanus confirmed this hypothesis by discovering and identifying the first endocannabinoid: anandamide. This was the official discovery of the Endocannabinoid System. Since this discovery scientists have conducted numerous studies to further the understanding of the Endocannabinoid System. More (somehow) studies are needed, but scientists believe they have found the purpose of the ECS, its components, and how it may be influenced to treat a host of illnesses. Purpose of the ECSResponsible for balance in the body, or homeostasis. Bodies tendency to reach equilibrium, like body temperature, blood sugar levels and much more. This is why it’s so hard to lose weight if you have been overweight for years. The reason the body doesn’t like “Change”. Help the body stay stable. What does the ECS consist of?Cannabinoid ReceptorsCB1 and CB2 EnzymesThese break down the cannabinoids in the body. Two FAAH and MAGL CBD and Cannabinoid Receptors CBD does not bind directly with CB1 or CB2 but interact with these receptors indirectly. Influences how the receptor interacts with endocannabinoids and other phytocannabinoids – plant cannabinoids. Interacts directly with the TRPV1 receptor a non-cannabinoid receptor. These receptors are responsible for pain perception. Also interacts with serotonin receptors. When activated, the receptors help reduce stress and anxiety levels. Making CBD helpful for people who struggle with anxiety and depression. CBD interacting with the EnzymesCBD allows the endocannabinoids to last longer in the body by inhibiting their enzymes from breaking down endocannabinoids as quickly as they would otherwise.Helps when treating illnesses that benefit from an increase in endocannabinoids. Subtopic 1: Cannabinoids Naturally produced in the bodyImportant for homeostasisHomeostasis keeps the at a regular level Helps to strengthen the function of the Endocannabinoid systemCannabinoid receptor 1 CB1 is found in abundance in the Central nervous systemCB2 is found in the gastrointestinal tract, immune cells, and peripheral nervous system. Responsible for managing functions in the bodyImmune function, pain, sleep, mood, memory, digestion, fertility, and motor control. CBD activates the serotonin receptors in the bodyThere is a lot of ongoing research that supports how CBD influences a wide variety of all the systems in the body. CBD should be taken daily; you cannot overdose on CBD and because it’s lipophilic (Fat-Soluble) it compounds in your body over time. This adds to the potential health benefits Managing PainCertain chemicals in CBD attach to the pain receptors in the body and will cause their inhibition. Has been found that most people with chronic pain find relief after using CBD. Can protect you from any painful conditions Subtopic 2: The Future of the ECS and CBD As the understanding of the ECS grows so does the ability to manipulate it for therapeutic benefits. CBD is quickly getting scientific support as one such way to safely and effectively influence the ECS for the treatment of illness. A lot of research supports it as treatments for conditions including epilepsy, migraine, immune disorders, MS, asthma, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and possibly many more that are currently unknown at this time. Research is crucial for these illnesses because many people cannot find relief with the current treatments and medications available. There are high quality studies being done as public ...
