CBD and the ketogenic (keto) diet may go hand in hand and complement one another when it comes to lifestyle and wellness enhancement, as well as symptom management.

Even more, CBD and the ketogenic diet have displayed a multitude of similar outcomes in scientific studies regarding topics such as inflammation and sleep, suggesting a potential positive outcome between the two. Let’s dive into what exactly CBD and keto diet are, and then take a look at how to incorporate CBD into your keto diet.

What is Keto Diet?

The Keto diet, or the ketogenic diet, is a way of eating that highlights high levels of fat, medium to moderate levels of protein, and little to no carbohydrates. But wait, isn’t fat supposed to be the bad guy? Well, that’s according to older and possibly false scientific studies. Fat is thought of to be actually essential to the human body, and some forms of the macronutrient can help with weight loss, minimize the risk of heart disease, and ward off inflammation.

Most of us realize that glucose, or simply sugar, is the body's primary source of fuel. This molecule is stored as glycogen within the muscles and the liver and is mandatory to produce energy at the cellular level in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The body does this via both the anaerobic and aerobic energy pathways. However, when an individual is eating a ketogenic diet and maintains their body to little-to-no levels of glucose, the body turns to a different source of fuel.

The keto diet due to its fat burning properties may help its followers to lose weight and lower blood sugar levels. Symptoms of certain diseases, such as type 2 diabetes may be improved when following a ketogenic diet.

Ketosis

The little levels of glucose within the bloodstream and lack of glycogen supply puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. This state means the body has become very efficient at burning stored body fat as fuel. Fat is taken from the cells and taken to the liver where it is turned into ketones, which helps fuel the body.

Signs that a person has entered a ketogenic state include but not limited to weight loss, increased levels of ketones in the blood, decreased appetite, increased energy, short-term fatigue, and temporarily decreased physical performance. Many people report more balanced energy throughout the day, as opposed to the peaks and troughs of energy when blood sugar rises and falls.

What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a phytocannabinoid produced by the trichomes of the cannabis plant. It serves the purpose of a secondary metabolite within the plant and has an important function. CBD oil has gained serious hype as a health and wellness supplement due to its wide spectrum of beneficial effects and its lack of psychoactive properties.

CBD products are formulated from the hemp plant. The CBD oil extracted from these plants is used to make tinctures, capsules, and all sorts of topical CBD products. High quality CBD products will use hemp that is sustainably farmed and extracted using the CO2 extraction method. Most CBD oils are mixed with a carrier oil,  coconut oil is a great carrier oil due to there fatty acids.

How CBD Works

CBD is attracted to the 5-HT1A receptors (also known as serotonin receptors) and vanilloid receptors within the human body. The chemical compound also indirectly affects the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system as an antagonist. Although CBD is not FDA approved to treat cure or diagnose any condition, some preliminary medical studies surrounding CBD point toward improved overall health.

Benefits of CBD

People are using CBD these days for a variety of health and wellness goals. CBD may help with supporting a balanced mood, as well as CBD could promote a tranquil night's rest. Many in the older community use CBD to improve joint and mobility issues. There are many ways to use CBD, some decide to consume it using tinctures or capsules, others prefer to use a topical CBD to target a particular area or part of the body.

While CBD is not a supplement designed for weight loss, or pain relief, it is showing promise for keeping the mood stable and improving overall health. Additionally, there are very few negative side effects of CBD.
