Something Worth Sharing
Unique CBD
CBD stands for Cannabidiol, a non-psychotropic compound found in the hemp plant, meaning it cannot get you high. When administered, CBD interacts with something in our bodies called the Endocannabinoid System involved in regulating mood, appetite, pain, memory and supporting daily wellbeing.
I have primarily used CBD to support my sleep and to reduce anxiety. I typically take it before a big presentation, when I want to get over jet lag and adapt to the new time zone when getting used to sleeping in a new environment and most recently, to help me overcome insomnia, which caused a lot of anxiety.
I’ve tried several brands over the years, but Unique CBD is now my favourite. I love the fact that they only have two oils (day and night), making it a very simple decision-making process. Their oils have added peppermint to make the taste more pleasant, they’re made from the highest quality ingredients and the packaging is gorgeous too!
Both the day and night oils hugely helped me get my sleep back on track when struggling with insomnia. If you need to improve your sleep and/or want something to reduce stress and anxiety, I highly recommend trying their oils.
If you want to find out more information on CBD, their site also has a page dedicated to CBD education.

Are you struggling to sleep well or perhaps you’ve been dealing with insomnia? I now know first-hand how frustrating and stressful it can be – you feel completely trapped!
Sleep is so important for our overall health and once it becomes a chronic problem it can keep us locked in a vicious cycle of stress and physical health issues like weight gain and other immune related problems. You simply can’t be at your best when you’re surviving on less sleep than you need!
I’m here to say, don’t struggle on your own or accept that poor sleep is your fate as so many people do!
Having fully resolved my insomnia through lots of research, trial and error, I am even more well equipped now to help clients improve their sleep. I offer complimentary 30-minute consultations, email info@katehorwood.com or click here if you’d like to book one and we can find out if working together to get your sleep back on track would be a good fit.
