Rescue 1 Podcast

Well first: WHY are you taking it? Keep in mind CBD lasts about 6 hours on average and takes about one hour to kick in. CBD for chronic anxiety throughout the day means you should take it in the morning and maybe once more in the afternoon. If you wanted to take CBD for sleep you should take it 1 hour before bed. A lot of the dosing and timing of CBD is all about how you feel. Start with 1 dropper...

How much CBD should you be taking at a time? Is there an overdose limit? Research is very clear on one thing: taking very high doses of CBD at once is very safe.  No overdose limit has been found in humans. The reasons why you’re taking CBD matter when it comes to the dose you choose. Sleep, for example is only improved with doses more than 25mg While everyone needs to adjust CBD to their effectiv...

Policy is everything in this case Straight to the point : CBD doesn't cause intoxication, a "buzz", high or inability to operate machinery or vehicles. THC does. Since it's federally legal and it's non-intoxicating there's nothing wrong with consuming CBD during the daytime or driving after doing so. But, at the firehouse depends on your department's policy. I wa...

Anxiety is associated with multiple hormones We know that CBD affects two of them: Cortisol and Serotonin We've talked about cortisol before, it being tied to inflammation and stress. While it has its place, when it gets out of control it causes physiological changes that sometimes cause some pretty crappy symptoms.  Serotonin is your happy hormone and is targeted by anti-depression and anti-...

When we think of inflammation, we think of swelling and pain after we're injured. But, the truth is we have a level of inflammation in our bodies at all times. It's natural and healthy to have a balance of inflammatory hormones throughout your organs and tissues.  When there is an imbalance and levels of inflammatory hormones are elevated for too long, you're in a state of oxidative...

 If you're reading this your sleep probably sucks. You're not alone, nearly 40% of firefighters have some kind of diagnosed sleep issue. Disclaimer: I'm not a doc, I don't even play one on TV! I also didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night (if you remember either of those commercials). This isn't medical advice, I'm simply sharing my knowledge and experie...

Learn a bit about how we grow and extract Understand the lab testing process and why we do it the way we do it Learn about drug testing,...

Well, it's not SUPPOSED to contain THC I wanted to go over the differences between the two including: The benefits of both full and broad spectrum CBD products How we make our broad spectrum CBD safe for the job The process of creating Bro...

Hemp, Marijuana and Cannabis are all defined And the language in your policy can mean the difference between allowing and prohibiting CBD use There are a few recurring scenarios that I've been witnessing in policies across the U.S. and they use the same four words to define the rules of using CBD It's not nearly as confusing as it would seem. But because the federal government is involve...

I was interviewed by Chris from The Rogue Tailboard podcast and he had a TON of great questions.  Besides it being just a great conversation, I felt that it could be very helpful and I wanted to share it on the Rescue 1 Podcast as well. In this episode, you guys get a peek behind the curtain of Rescue 1 as Chris asks me about my origins in the fire service and some personal questions. But, we also...

First responders need to know the basics about CBD. Not just because you're legally entitled to use it, but also because I believe it will be a game-changer for the US Fire Service and it will be a staple in every firehouse in America. Before that happens, we have to understand it and that starts with the basics: What is it and how is it made? If you got something useful out of this video, pl...

This was a live Q&A I did to answer some great questions and to talk about the brand Rescue 1 CBD.  I'm sure you've heard many of these questions before: Are we allowed to use it? Will I fail a drug test? Does the IAFF/union have a rule on this? Is it legal? I go into all of these questions plus a few more. If there are any other questions you have please comment below or email suppo...

Since the CBD molecule was isolated in 1963, research has been consistently done to assess the benefits and effectiveness of CBD. While tests haven't been done on firefighters (yet), we have information on what CBD does to the brain and body. Why should you care? Because here's what CBD was researched to effect: Sleep Pain Anxiety/Depression Inflammation Sound familiar?  Look, I'm n...

We’re told we have to train and practice for our “peak performance” but we’re never performing like athletes.  How many times have you caught a structure fire or bad accident when you were tired or hungry or sore? Performing at a “peak level” is what athletes do. They train for optimal conditions for years to perform a task for a set amount of time on a set date.  We don’t even have the luxury of...
