We have all been told to eat right and exercise for maximum health. But suffering from back pain, fatigue or depression can all prevent you from wanting to go for a run or lift weights. While exercise is one of the primary pillars of health, along with eating right, it may not an obtainable goal for many. If you’re one of those people, rather than doing nothing, think about approaching it a bit different—movement rather than exercise.
Key Elements of Wellness – Sleep
Sleep has long been one of the most important but least understood aspects of the wellness journey. It is vital to health; it enhances memory, increases ability to learn, boost immune system, regulates appetite, lowers to risk of cardiovascular disease and recalibrates mood. With so many benefits to our overall health and wellbeing, why don’t get enough of it? [Read more…]
CBD for Dogs: It’s 4th of July!
It’s that time of year again when we clean off the barbecue, load up on hotdogs and celebrate our nation’s independence. While we might also look forward to the local fireworks display, the four-legged family members might not feel like celebrating. Dogs are often extremely frightened from the loud noise made by the fireworks.
Unlike humans, our pets cannot understand the concept of fireworks and shrug them off like we do. They become more frightened as the noise continues especially from rouge-not-so-legal -displays. Some dogs may be more startled due to their genetic predisposition, past experiences, and the fact that their hearing is more sensitive.

Key Elements of Wellness – Nutrition
Whether you take CBD to be pain free or to assist with sleep, you can support its efficacy with healthy eating. A proper diet supports the therapeutic use of CBD and other cannabinoids. Like CBD, the right food can alleviate the principle causes of many health issues – inflammation. Your diet can either help you boost your ability to fight disease or fuel illness.
The word diet conjures up thoughts of yet another weight loss plan. While you may like to shed a few pounds, we’re talking more about what to eat and the quality. The food we eat can be the solution or part of the problem. A key element of any wellness plan is diet. You are the decision maker regarding what you eat! [Read more…]
Key Elements of Wellness
We all seek improved health and enhanced quality of life. Who doesn’t want to be pain free, wake up rested or at feel continuously at peace? These are just a few of the restorative properties of CBD and other therapeutic blends. But what if we could find other ways to support the use of CBD to improve our daily wellbeing?

Is there THC in my CBD?
We have had a few customers surprised to find out that, for some there is THC in their hemp derived CBD product. This has prompted us to answer the question, is there THC in my CBD?
The short answer is, quite possibly.
Let’s take a step back and define these two very commonly used acronyms, CBD and THC.
Yoga for stress relief, better sleep and less discomfort
At the CBD Garage we are always looking for ways to help our customers enhance the use of our products. Many of the top uses of CBD include stress relief, better sleep and less aches and muscle discomfort. And you guessed it, practicing yoga each day can help with each of these health issues and much more. Hopefully we can convince you to add a yoga practice as part of your New Year’s resolutions!
Is yoga on your New Year’s resolution list?
Commitment, Habits and CBD
At the CBD Garage, our mission is to provide products that support our customers’ vitality and pursuit of health. But the quest for living your best life extends beyond just supplements.
If you are reading this, you probably take CBD and other supplements to address a health need such as better sleep, less aches and pains or stress management. Our choices and behaviors, or habits, can either support or sabotage the very reason we take CBD in the first place!
Breathing techniques for Stress Relief
In our first post on the Wim Hof Method, we introduced the concept of gradual cold exposure to reduce pain and inflammation. Cold exposure along with breathing exercises and mindfulness and the three pillars of the Wim Hof Method. By practicing all three components, you can regulate your stress levels and hopefully return your body to a normal, relaxed state.
Cold Showers for Inflammation and Discomfort
Did you know that taking a cold shower each day can provide a number of health benefits? The benefits include reducing inflammation and discomfort, improving cardiovascular health, recharging the immune system and everybody’s favorite, aiding in weight loss. Just to be clear, we’re not taking about the entire time you’re in the shower, just the last few minutes or so. Read on and we’re sure you’ll be hooked! [Read more…]
Stress, Constipation and CBD
With the holidays right around the corner, a recent article in the Well Being Journal, A Functional Approach to Managing Constipation, got my attention. Along with the holidays comes travel, yummy cakes and cookies, extra alcohol, and not to mention a bit of stress (who said that?). All these combined, at any time of the year, can add up to a nasty bout of constipation.
Approximately 40 percent of people suffer from constipation when on vacation!
Swimming Gives Your Brain a Boost
Did you know a growing body of research suggests that swimming, in addition to all the other benefits, might provide a unique boost to brain health?
Regular swimming has been shown to improve memory, cognitive function, immune response and mood. Does this list of neurological activities sound familiar? If you have been reading about CBD it sure does, since it’s just a few of the functions controlled by our own Endocannabinoid System (ESC).
Dehydration: Discomfort, stress and sleeplessness
Did you know that many of the reasons that people use CBD might be aggravated by dehydration?
As the hot days of summer approach, its more it important than ever to stay hydrated.
The root cause of many health issues may be caused by chronic inflammation. Unlike the discomfort of acute inflammation like the swelling and redness which may be the result of a strain or cut, chronic inflammation occurs when the body’s response is stuck in overdrive.
Should I try CBG?
It’s not surprising that more and more hemp derived cannabinoid products are becoming available as the hemp industry matures. While the marijuana industry focuses on producing plants and products high in THC (the psycho intoxicating component in cannabis), the hemp industry is producing products featuring the healing properties of non-intoxicating cannabinoids.
Exercise your Endocannabinoids to Beat Depression
It’s no surprise to learn that physically active people have much lower risks of developing depression and anxiety than people who rarely move. Even those who participate in small amounts of exercise tend to be more cheerful than those who never exercise. The question is, “Are happy people are more likely to take up exercise or did the exercise actually cause changes in happiness?” [Read more…]
Can THCV help me lose weight?
Can THCV help me lose weight?
It’s that time of year again. Hopes of achieving our New Year’s resolutions to lose weight begin to fade. We start the year out with the best of intentions, only to fall off the wagon as life happens. Diets can seem overly restrictive, leaving you hungry and unsatisfied.
But what if there was a supplement that helped reduce hunger associated with calorie reduction?
Stretching for Muscle Discomfort
CBD has been identified to help balance the Endocannabinoid System which influences muscle discomfort. Did you know there was something else that could help and is a bit cheaper, maybe even free – stretching!
Whether you are a weekend warrior or at a desk all day, we can all benefit from a daily stretching routine to relieve chronic aches and muscle discomfort. Stretching improves blood flow to the muscles and helps relieve the muscular tension that causes discomfort. Stretching can also provide increased flexibility and strengthening to prevent repeat injuries. [Read more…]
