What happens when the very medications meant to heal end up doing more harm than good? Ethan Pompeo knows this struggle all too well. Diagnosed with PANDAS as a child, he spent years cycling through over 40 prescription medications—each one bringing more side effects than relief. Frustrated and desperate for real healing, he turned to alternative solutions, ultimately discovering the transformative power of CBD.
In this gripping episode, Ethan shares his deeply personal journey from feeling trapped by pharmaceuticals to reclaiming his health through natural wellness. Joined by Clare Waismann, Dr. Michael Lowenstein, and David Livingston, this discussion dives into the intersection of medicine, alternative therapies, and the psychology of recovery.
- Is there a better way to heal?
- Can CBD help with neurological disorders, addiction, and pain management?
- How do we break free from the cycle of overmedication and take back control?
Tune in as we explore the real science, the emotional toll, and the power of informed choices in finding true relief.
