About the episodeIn this week’s episode of The Wellness Breakdown, Rose sets Eve the CBD challenge. In the past decade, the CBD industry has exploded. Now, anyone can find CBD oils, teas, sweets, bars, even soaps. According to industry analysts, the CBD market was worth £300 million in 2020.* That figure is expected to more than triple in the next five years. But CBD remains a contentious topic. Advocates of CBD claim it has near miraculous stress and anxiety reducing benefits, while skeptics are still unsure if CBD has any effect at all. So, can CBD really reduce stress and anxiety, or is it all just a load of smoke? Let’s find out. The Challenge: Eve must take three drops of organic 25% CBD oil in the morning, and three drops in the evening, for four weeks. Paying close attention to her sleep, stress, and anxiety levels.
