As the first and only Whole30 Approved® CBD tincture and topical brand in the nation, lost range.® CBD meets the highest standards for quality and purity, making our products the perfect companion for your wellness journey. Let’s dig in…
With the rise of health-conscious lifestyles and holistic wellness trends, many people are turning to CBD (cannabidiol) for its potential benefits. At the same time, diet-based resets like the Whole30® program have gained popularity for helping people eliminate processed foods and reset their relationship with what they eat. If you're considering combining the two—using CBD during a Whole30® reset—you might be wondering: Is CBD Whole30 Approved®? The short answer is yes, with a few important caveats.
In this article, we’ll break down what Whole30® is, what it means for a product to be Whole30 Approved®, and how CBD can fit into the equation.
What Is Whole30®?
The Whole30® Program, founded by Melissa Urban, is a 30-day dietary reset designed to remove foods that may cause inflammation, digestive issues, or cravings. The idea is to eliminate these foods for 30 days, then slowly reintroduce them to see how your body responds.
Foods to Avoid on Whole30®:
- Added sugar (real or artificial)
- Alcohol (even for cooking)
- Grains (wheat, corn, rice, oats, etc.)
- Legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts, soy)
- Dairy
- MSG, sulfites, and carrageenan
- Processed or baked goods
Foods You Can Eat:
- Vegetables and fruits
- Unprocessed meats
- Eggs
- Seafood
- Healthy fats (avocado, coconut oil, olive oil)
- Nuts and seeds (except peanuts)
The goal is not weight loss (although that often happens), but rather identifying food sensitivities and improving your long-term relationship with food.
What Does "Whole30 Approved®" Mean?
Whole30 Approved® is an official endorsement granted to select products that meet Whole30®'s strict ingredient standards. These products are vetted and verified by the Whole30® team. It’s important to distinguish between:
- Whole30® Compliant Products: Products that follow the Whole30® rules but are not officially endorsed.
- Whole30 Approved® Products: Products that meet the rules and have undergone the approval process with the Whole30® team.
This seal of approval signals to consumers that they can trust the product to align with Whole30®’s nutritional standards and values.
Where Does CBD Fit In?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound derived from hemp. Many people incorporate CBD into their wellness routines to support:
- A sense of calm and relaxation
- Everyday aches and discomfort from an active lifestyle
- A more restful night’s sleep
- Post-workout wind-down and recovery
CBD itself is a plant extract, and on its own, it's naturally Whole30® compliant. However, the way CBD is prepared and delivered matters.
Let’s break down some key factors.
What Makes a CBD Product Whole30 Approved®?
To be Whole30 Approved®, a CBD product must not contain:
1. Added Sugar or Sweeteners
CBD gummies, syrups, or flavored tinctures often contain added sugars, stevia, or artificial sweeteners, which are all banned on Whole30®.
Tip: Look for unflavored tinctures with just CBD extract and a carrier oil like MCT oil, hemp seed oil, or olive oil.
2. Alcohol-Based Extracts
While many CBD tinctures use alcohol during the extraction process, some leave trace alcohol in the final product, which is not allowed on Whole30®. You’ll want to ensure the product is either alcohol-free or that the alcohol is completely removed.
3. Non-Compliant Additives
Watch out for:
- Artificial flavors
- Carrageenan (used in some topicals and capsules)
- Preservatives or binders
Reading the label is essential. Look for simple ingredient lists and steer clear of anything unrecognizable or overly processed.
4. Gummy or Candy Formats
Even if a CBD gummy is made with natural ingredients, the Whole30® program discourages recreating desserts or treats with approved ingredients, a concept called “SWYPO” (Sex With Your Pants On). Gummy formats often fall into this category, even if sugar-free, because they mimic candy and can trigger unhealthy eating patterns.
Best Option: Stick with oils, tinctures, or topicals.
Whole30 Approved® CBD Formats
1. CBD Oil Tinctures
The cleanest and most compliant option. Look for:
- No added flavoring
- No sweeteners
- Just CBD extract + carrier oil
Example: lost range.® Whole30 Approved® CBD Tinctures contain only Full-Spectrum CBD and MCT oil derived from coconut—simple, clean, and compliant.
2. CBD Topicals
Since you’re not ingesting them, topicals like:
- CBD salves
- Muscle and joint rubs
- Massage oils
- Bath soaks
…are allowed and don’t interfere with Whole30®’s dietary rules.
Bonus: Topicals are a great way to ease exercise-induced soreness during a Whole30® fitness journey.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I use CBD during Whole30® if I'm subject to drug testing?
Yes, but with caution. If you’re drug tested regularly, it’s best to choose a THC-free or CBD isolate product rather than a full-spectrum one, as trace amounts of THC (even within the legal 0.3% limit) may accumulate and show up on a drug test. While full-spectrum CBD from lost range.® is legal and compliant, always consult your employer’s policy and consider your personal situation.
2. Will CBD affect my digestion or appetite during Whole30®?
CBD itself doesn’t stimulate appetite the way THC does. In fact, many users report that CBD may help regulate digestion and calm an unsettled stomach, which can be useful during the detox-like phase of Whole30®. As your body adjusts to a new way of eating, CBD might help ease discomfort and promote balance.
3. Can I cook with CBD oil during Whole30®?
Yes, but be mindful of how you do it. While CBD oil can be added to recipes, high heat can degrade CBD’s effectiveness, reducing its potency. It’s best to stir CBD oil into low-heat recipes like salad dressings, smoothies, dips, or to drizzle it over cooked dishes just before serving. lost range.® tinctures make it easy to incorporate CBD into Whole30 Approved® meals while keeping both flavor and benefits intact.
4. Is there a recommended CBD dosage while doing Whole30®?
There’s no universal dose, as CBD affects everyone differently. Start low and slow, especially if you’re new to it. A common beginner dose is 10–25mg per day, and you can adjust based on how you feel. lost range.® tinctures are clearly labeled, making it easier to measure your dose throughout the 30 days.
5. Can I continue taking CBD after Whole30® ends?
Absolutely! Many people find that CBD becomes a valuable part of their ongoing wellness routine even after Whole30®. Whether it’s for stress support, sleep, or recovery, incorporating CBD can help you maintain the healthier habits and mindfulness you developed during the program.
