How CBD Can Become a Part of Your Daily Wellness Routine

If you had told me years ago that CBD would be part of my daily wellness routine, I would have laughed it off. In the SEAL Teams, we were conditioned to embrace the suck, push through pain, and never show weakness. We ran on pure grit, adrenaline, and, let’s be honest—more caffeine than a human body should consume. But what they don’t tell you is that running at redline 24/7 comes at a cost.

After 26 years of service, I was left with chronic pain, stress, and sleep issues that no amount of “toughing it out” could fix. Like many veterans and high performers, I struggled with the transition to civilian life, and my body was paying the price for decades of abuse. That’s when I discovered CBD—not as a trend, but as a tool for true recovery and performance optimization.

Now, CBD is a non-negotiable part of my daily wellness routine. It helps me show up as the best version of myself—mentally sharp, physically strong, and ready for whatever the day throws at me. And if you’re someone who wants to perform at a high level—whether you’re a first responder, business leader, athlete, or just trying to feel better—CBD can help you do the same.

Here’s how you can make CBD a part of your daily wellness routine and start optimizing your recovery, focus, and overall performance.

1. Start Your Day with CBD for Mental Clarity & Focus

Mornings are mission prep for the day ahead. The way you start your day dictates how you’ll perform throughout it.

For me, CBD first thing in the morning helps me kick off the day with clarity instead of chaos. It supports the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a role in mood regulation, stress response, and cognitive function. Instead of reaching for a second (or third) cup of coffee, CBD helps keep my mind sharp without the caffeine crash.

How to use it: Add CBD oil under your tongue or mix it with your morning coffee for a sustained, calm-but-alert focus.

💡 Pro tip: Try pairing CBD with breathwork or meditation to supercharge mental clarity. SEALs use breath control techniques to regulate stress in high-pressure environments—you can do the same to take charge of your day.


2. Use CBD to Manage Stress & Stay in the Fight

We all experience stress, pressure, and overwhelm—whether it’s on the battlefield, in the boardroom, or at home. The problem isn’t stress itself. The problem is how we manage it.

CBD interacts with the body’s stress response system, helping to balance cortisol levels and support emotional resilience. This means you can stay calm, focused, and in control, rather than reactive and drained.

How to use it: When you feel stress building, take a CBD capsule or oil to stay level-headed. CBD gummies are another great option for on-the-go stress relief.

💡 Pro tip: Combine CBD with movement. A quick workout, a walk, or even stretching can help your body process stress more effectively.


3. Recover Faster with CBD Post-Workout

Recovery is where growth happens. But if you’re constantly inflamed, in pain, and running on empty, you’re just breaking your body down instead of building it up.

CBD has natural anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery after workouts. It helps the body repair itself faster, so you can get back in the fight without feeling wrecked.

How to use it: Apply a CBD muscle rub or lotion to sore areas, or take CBD oil post-workout to support joint and muscle recovery.

💡 Pro tip: Pair CBD with hydration, stretching, and mobility work for maximum recovery benefits.


4. CBD for Better Sleep = Better Performance

Most people don’t realize that poor sleep is destroying their performance. Sleep is not a luxury—it’s a weapon. It affects everything from mental clarity and decision-making to recovery and stress resilience.

CBD helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep—without the grogginess of traditional sleep aids. When you get quality sleep, you wake up recharged, ready to dominate the day.

How to use it: Take CBD oil or softgels about 30–60 minutes before bed to help calm the nervous system and promote deep, restorative sleep.

💡 Pro tip: Create a nighttime routine—dim the lights, avoid screens, and pair CBD with deep breathing or journaling to wind down.
