CBD Fitness Treatments with Keoni Sport’s J.Cody Fletcher

Over the last two decades, the fitness industry has maneuvered its way back into the mainstream media after a dormant period during the 1990s. The shift in the industry’s popularity can be attributed to a number of things including the use of social media, accessibility to health clubs and gyms, different approaches to fitness regimens and a number of health problems affecting western culture day after day.

However, one treatment in the fitness industry is gaining substantial notoriety due to its versatility in use, acceptance among the fitness community and its many health benefits. CBD (Cannabidiol) has been on the rise in several sectors of industry and communities. Lately, it has caught the attention of professional and amateur athletes and fitness enthusiasts by storm. One CBD brand, Keoni Sport, provides a number of products for fitness enthusiasts and athletes to add into their regimens including pain sprays and roll ons and their sleep and energy gummies.

We recently sat down with Amateur athlete and Keoni Sport’s J. Cody Fletcher to ask him a couple questions about CBD treatments in fitness and what Keoni has provided and done for him for his fitness goals.

Q&A:

Cody, you’ve had quite a career in the fitness space. Why are CBD fitness treatments becoming popular?

Yes I have! It’s been a great 8 years, and something I’ve been truly passionate about.  CBD treatments have become so popular because they are “just what the doctor ordered” for the lion’s share of athletes and gym goers.  The biggest problem in not being able to perform better or improve capabilities is recovery. CBD hits each of the pain points related to recovery – pain, inflammation, sleep, anxiety, you name it. 

Are CBD fitness supplements only for one area focus or is it incredibly diverse?

It’s incredibly diverse and maybe one of the most diverse supplements of its time as it helps with muscle pain, joint inflammation, restless sleep, performance anxiety, and lack of focus.  It’s a beautiful piece of nature because it creates this snowball effect in helping alleviate all the pain points.  If you’re taking it for sleep, you recover better, your muscles recover, your inflammation reduces, your anxiety goes down.  If you take it for pain relief – you can move more frequently with less pain, you increase blood flow to problem areas of the body, your soreness starts to lessen, the pain is alleviated so you sleep better – it’s multiple circles of relief all tied in to one another and achieves this beautiful homeostasis within the body and endocannabinoid system.

What do most athletes use CBD for?

I’ve found that pain and inflammation are the strongest pain points attributed to my CBD users – which, by the way is probably 85-95% of my athletes.  It’s just a very common fact of movement and working out – at some point, something could start hurting or feel “tight.”  CBD is an excellent outlet to help relieve those feelings and keep rocking.

What do you use CBD supplements and products for?

So I originally got into CBD because I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed.  Mainly, sleep anxiety because I was coaching classes at 5 am and if I didn’t wake up to my alarm at 4:15, the class didn’t happen.  That led me to sleepless nights, popping out of a REM cycle, gasping for air, looking at my phone, and going back to sleep.  This led to a myriad of more problems but it all started with anxiety.  This is where I discovered first hand the snowball effect of CBD therapeutics – I was sleeping better, recovering more, less aches and pains, reduced inflammation in my knees and elbows, allowing me to train longer, harder, faster.  It was, and still is, the perfect addition to my regimen.

What makes Keoni Sport different when it comes to CBD fitness products?

Keoni Sport is, in my eyes, the best I’ve come across because it is truly tailored to active lifestyles.  Whether you’re out on the trail hiking, in the gym slinging barbells, or the mom that’s on her feet all day wrangling kids around.  They’ve done a great job with the Energy gummies – great dosage for getting the day started or getting a pre workout energy boost; and a great job with the Sleep gummies – winding down, exhaling the day, calming the mind and the body.  I’m an EVERYDAY user of the Sport Spray and Roll-On gel with myself and my clients.  If you went too hard on bench or deadlifts and a certain muscle group is really fired up,use the spray or roll-on for immediate relief that also lends itself to address long term soreness reduction.

What’s going in your gym bag when it comes to the Keoni Sport Line?

4 packs of Energy Gummies, Pain Relief Spray, Relief and Recover Roll On Gel, and probably some more Energy Gummies – they are the TRUTH.

How can I use these products effectively in my fitness regiment?

I pop an Energy Gummy right when I wake up to get me fueled for my 6 AM workout, if anything is bothering me before, I’ll apply the Relief Spray for the cool, icy immediate relief, and then post workout I’ll use the Roll On gel in areas that were targeted heavily.  I usually take another Energy Gummy after lunch and then I’ll take 2 Sleep Gummies an hour before bed to allow the CBD to really take charge in winding down my mind and body before hitting the sheets.
