If you know me, you know I spend literally all of my free time at Deans. It’s an honor to collaborate and contribute educational to my favorite health food store on the east coast! @briannadiorio is a Clinical Nutritionist, Holistic Lifestyle Coach & a regular shopper at Dean's Natural Food Market! Here's her take on The Calm Smoothie Calm Smoothie > Chill Pill Did you know CBD is one of over a hundred active compounds (or cannabinoids) found exclusively in the cannabis plant! We have various Cannabinoid receptors throughout the body, which can influence immune, brain, adrenal and central nervous system health. Ashwagandha is a mood and stress adaptor, which means it works to support and mitigate secondary effects of stress, which we might experience as poor mood, low energy and anxiety. Ashwagandha can increase one’s resistance to physical, mental and environmental stressors and helps restore overall homeostasis in the body. It works through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis), to reduce stress hormones, such as cortisol. Lavender contains terpenes such as Linalool, which has been shown to support the central nervous system and support healthy inflammatory pathways in the body. As an added bonus, Lavender has been shown to have neuroprotective and anxiolytic properties, meaning it can support feelings of relaxation. #Repost @deansmarket #Deansnaturalfoodmartket #deanslist #dnfm #calmsmoothie #calm #relaxation #deansjuicebar #anxiety #monmouthcountynj #monmouthcounty #CBD #lavender #westlongbranch #longbanch #oakhurst #botanicalBri #PhDBri #briannaapproved #recoveringsuperspaz (at Dean's Natural Food Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRoz3iWD4O-/?utm_medium=tumblr
