Dr. Alex Capano Highlights CBD’s Potential for Better Sleep in USA Today Feature
CYNTHIANA, Ky., March 18, 2019 (Newswire.com)
–
Dr. Alex Capano, chief science officer of Ananda Hemp, was the sole CBD expert quoted in the March 15, 2019 Sleep and Wellness segment of USA Today. The piece focuses on raising awareness about health problems linked to insufficient sleep and showcases habits that can improve rest and overall well‑being.
In the article, Dr. Capano joins voices such as Dr. Oz, model Miranda Kerr, and wellness advocate Deepak Chopra to discuss practical strategies for better sleep. Recommendations range from optimizing the bedroom environment and incorporating yoga or meditation to ease stress, to considering supplements like CBD as part of a holistic approach.
How CBD Interacts with the Body’s Endocannabinoid System
According to Capano, cannabidiol can alleviate stress and anxiety without the addiction or withdrawal risks associated with many pharmaceutical options. She explains that CBD supports the body’s endocannabinoid system—a network of receptors that helps regulate the sleep‑wake cycle, immune response, mood, and more. By supplementing with CBD, users may help replenish naturally produced endocannabinoids, promoting internal balance.
“CBD is kind of just helping us harness the power of our own bodies better through plants,” Capano says. She notes that these mechanisms suggest CBD could serve as a safer alternative to habit‑forming pain relievers and might hold promise for addressing neurodegenerative conditions.
Choosing Quality CBD Products
Capano also stresses the importance of product transparency. She cites a November 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that found roughly 70 percent of CBD labels sold online contain inaccurate information. “Learn where your product is coming from,” she advises, urging consumers to become informed and demand higher standards from manufacturers. “I think that’s on us as consumers to demand it because I think the market will respond if we demand it,” she adds.
