Two England Rugby Players and a Bottle of CBD Oil....

England and Lion’s Rugby Superstar Jack Nowell was sat in my office recently telling me how good at sleeping he is (sorry for the namedrop but it’s a key part of my story).

I was intrigued. ??

Over the last few years I’ve come to learn that one of the most important things you can do for your wellbeing is to to get really good sleep. If I’m honest, I’ve become a little obsessed with it, tracking my circadian rhythms to find optimum working times etc!

So when Jack told me this, I had to know his secret.

“CBD Oil mate”

“Really?” I said.

One of Jack’s partners is a company called FourFive who do some of the best CBD products money can buy. It also happens to be co-founded by Ex-England rugby player George Kruis and Ex-Welsh International, Dominic Day .

I’ve known about CBD for a while but one of the main reasons I’ve not ventured into the world of it until now is due to a fear of how you ensure that whatever you buy is good quality and legit. I now have an answer to that.

FourFive’s strapline is ‘by athletes, for athletes’ - the oil comes with a message saying that its been fully tested against banned substance lists for sportspeople. They have become official wellbeing partners for Premiership Rugby team’s Saracens and Leicester , as well as being joined by ex-soldier and TV adventurer Jason Fox “Foxy”.

This, my friends, is the real deal.

I started slow with the 500mg and moved on up to the 1000mg - the benefits have been nothing short of transformational. I take it in the morning and the evening. The evening has the affect of giving you a fast, deep, reviving sleep. My head hits the pillow and I’m out. Not only that but I’m in REM sleep quicker and more deeply than ever before. REM is where your body really repairs itself.

In the morning I find that almost instantly I feel more chilled out, more mellow. Its hard to explain. You’re not high, you just feel like the edge has been taken off, like you can take on the world if you need to.

My wife Lizz has had an ongoing battle with Fibromyalgia over the last ten years. It’s not been really bad recently but it does affect the amount of exercise she can do and how exhausted she is when she does it. I asked her if she wanted to try some of the oil and within a week, I kid you not, she was up doing two excercise videos in front of the TV every day! It was like watching a different person. She’s put that completely down to the oil!

I’ve now moved onto the muscle rub (which is amazing after golf) and the Vitamin C and Omega Oil as well.

I loved the products and brand so much that I got in touch with George and teamed up with them to help promote the general business and life benefits of the products. All this means that I can give anyone reading this who likes the idea of trying the products a really healthy 15% off. Just use the code “banks15” at the checkout. As an ambassador I'll be sharing updates from the business ever now and again where I can link it back to business and wellbeing in a legitamate way.

If you do try anything then please let me know how you get on. I hope that it has the same positive affect on you as it has done for me.
