What if your body had a master regulatory system you never knew existed? In this eye-opening episode, hemp lifestyle entrepreneur Valerie Aloisio reveals the science behind the endocannabinoid system—a critical biological network only discovered in the 1990s that maintains balance throughout your body.
After losing her mother to cancer and facing her own health struggles, Valerie embarked on a journey that led her to become a pioneering voice in the hemp wellness movement. She breaks down the crucial difference between hemp and marijuana, explaining how hemp-derived cannabinoids support our bodies without intoxicating effects.
The conversation dives deep into why this matters: our ancestors consumed these plant compounds through diet, but modern lifestyles have created what scientists now call "clinical endocannabinoid deficiency syndrome." Learn how this deficiency might explain why so many struggle with chronic conditions like inflammation, sleep disruption, anxiety, and pain.
Valerie shares practical wisdom about different cannabinoids—from CBD's anti-inflammatory properties to CBN's sleep benefits and CBG's mood support—while offering clear guidance on quality, dosage, and what to look for in products. Whether you're new to plant medicine or experienced with hemp, you'll gain invaluable insights into how these compounds work with your body's natural systems.

(02:32):
Oh my gosh, I'm so, so, superexcited to have our next guest
with us, valerie.
Valerie, thank you so much fortaking the time to join us today
to share all of your expertise.
Those of you who have beenlistening, you've heard her bio.
It's you know we've started outtalking preemptive talking.
(02:54):
As you all know, I do a lot ofpreemptive talking before I hit
record and sometimes I think Ishould just record right from
the beginning, get all thosesnippets and maybe I'll do that
next time.
And I keep saying it and Idon't do it, and maybe next time
I'll just let it record.
But you know, valerie, thequestion that I ask all of our
guests before we get into thenitty gritty of who you are and
(03:17):
what you do and how you came tobe who you are right now?
What is your definition ofhealing?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Wow, Thank you so much for having me and I love
our conversation so far.
So it's going to be a pleasureto be with you in the audience
today.
So, you know, the first wordthat comes to mind is balance,
you know, because if we're notin balance, how well can we be?
So, you know, I guess we can.
(03:45):
That's the first thing thatcomes to mind, because there's
just so much when it comes tohealing oneself right,
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
There is so much.
I think healing is such a smallword, but a huge impact and a
lot behind it, and you know youhad a very interesting journey
into the space that you're incurrently.
And, of course, you knowinquiring minds want to know
about how you stepped into thisjourney, teach us your expertise
(04:19):
.
We're here to learn from youand then be able to walk away
and use some of the informationthat you've given us to help us
on our journeys.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah Well, thank you, yes, and we all come
to our place, I think, as aresult, if we're guided and we
move into that step.
Sometimes it's scary, but mywhole journey started I don't
know 25,.
You know, over 30 years ago Ilost my mother to breast cancer.
She was only 59 years old and Ihad a three-year-old and was
pregnant with my daughter.
(04:48):
So, as a young mom going,losing your best friend and your
mom at such a young age, youknow, you start to think and you
know why.
Why, why is this happening?
And now we've looked 30 years.
Since that time, everyone thatwe know is dealing with cancer
or some kind of disease.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Right, so how did that all?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
happen and as a new mom, I was like I'm going to do
everything possible to make surethat my kids are raised in as
healthy a way as possible,because this should never happen
.
I have two wonderful sistersand we're all so close, and so
it really the driving force wastrying to learn.
When my mom got initially sickwith cancer 10 years prior, you
(05:30):
know what kind of things can wedo to keep ourselves fit,
healthy and young and dealnaturally with this because
obviously the chemicals andstuff, although helpful, you
know, isn't the be-all end-all.
And so that's where theinquiring mind at me started
going.
And it was all because of thatpersonal experience.
And then you know, fast forwarda few years after losing her, I
(05:53):
went through a divorce and andmy own personal you know story
of depression and anxiety andall that stuff that goes along
with, okay, as a single momraising two kids and losing your
best friend, like all thatstuff is turned into it, and I
think that's what led me downthat path of understanding.
(06:14):
You know about mental health,having gone through depression
and anxiety, and you know havingto be there for my kids when
you don't want to.
I mean, how many people havethese kinds of things that they
face, and you know I don't knowwhat I mean.
How many people have thesekinds of things that they face
and you know I don't know whatpulls you out of things.
I know.
For me it was a faithfulsituation, you know, and saying,
you know my kids deserve moreand I got to get myself well.
(06:35):
And that led then on to, youknow, a friend sharing wellness
products with me.
That really helped.
And that was just the beginning.
Then I couldn't get enough ofit, studying nutrition and and
kinesiology and just so manythings and being in a space with
other health and wellnesspractitioners and healers and
(06:59):
all those things that just ledme to where I am today, which
you know we'll get into.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But it is talking about the cannabis industry,
which lots of talk about thatand I think it's a very
interesting conversation becauseit can be so polarized, and I
think that's because we don'thave enough information or we're
fed an imbalance of information.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So the imbalance of information that's out there
then can tend to overshadow thebenefits that are that are there
with the, with the products andwith this particular plant.
And then there's also confusionright there's, there's the whole
confusion.
So I'm so glad that we have thisopportunity to clear the
(07:44):
confusion, to get a little bitof a better understanding of how
we can use this, because Ithink it is a wonderful plant
when it's used for healingpurposes.
And, and my opinion, which Iwill state, is that I will state
(08:09):
is that many, many, many moonsago, before we had chemical
processes for healing purposes,we used things from the earth,
Whatever was available that ourancient people found wisdom
through.
You know, all over the world,not just you know in one side of
the world, where we say, oh,there's a Western and Eastern,
it's all over the world.
All the peoples all over theworld, not just you know, in one
side of the world, where we say, oh, there's a Western and
Eastern, it's all over the world.
All the peoples all over theworld were finding and using
(08:30):
things that would help them healor elevate in their spiritual
experience.
However, you wanted to use that.
So I am going to let you tellthe peoples and kind of clear
the confusion about this plant.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yes, yeah, okay, great Well let's get into it a
little bit, because it all.
First we'll start off with.
We're talking about hemp andcannabinoids, cbd derived from
hemp.
We're not talking aboutmarijuana on this conversation.
We've got great experts thatcan actually I can introduce you
that have the understandingabout medical marijuana and how
(09:12):
marijuana is used.
Marijuana is grown short andbushy.
It's grown for a highconcentration of THC, so that's
most people think.
When I, you know, when I wasasked to, you know, launch a
company to bring CBD to theworld.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
people think I'm going to be a drug dealer.
You know, I know what's goingon and I'm like no, no, no,
that's what I thought, because Isaid, no, I'm not going to
teach.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I told my kids not to do drugs.
What are you talking about?
You know like no, no, you don'tunderstand.
And our foremost authority wasmy initial and is my mentor
today and the founder of thecompany I represent that away.
So we'll talk about that as wego forward.
But the difference is twodifferent trees in the cannabis
forest.
(09:53):
You've got marijuana, as I justdescribed, and then you have
hemp.
Hemp grows tall and lengthy,you know, like bamboo.
Okay, a very low concentrationof THC, but very high
concentration of CBD kind of adial and other cannabinoids that
this beautiful plant produces.
(10:13):
So most people think about hemp.
Back in the early days, 1600s,our founding fathers came over.
They brought hemp, they grewhemp.
There was hemp rope and salesand clothing and feed.
We fed our livestock hemp notgenetically modified, born, you
know um.
So we ingested that livestock.
(10:36):
We got the benefits of hemp,all those cannabinoids that
support our body, and we'll talkabout that in a second.
So, but then it was back in2737 BC when the Chinese emperor
Shenyang first used cannabis,for medical reasons, you know.
And so we think, like you said,many, many moons ago, you know,
(10:58):
people from all over the worldhave incorporated this plant
holy, anointing oils, all kindsof things.
And so when our foundingfathers brought hemp over and we
started to grow it in the 1800s, it was part of the American
pharmacopeia.
You know our base oil, for allour, the majority of our
pharmaceuticals had the base oilof cannabis, and this is so
(11:22):
fascinating.
So you know we were part of theAmerican pharmacopeia.
Cannabis use was everythingfrom cramps to seizures and you
name it, and it was part of oursociety, it was part of our
well-being, it was part of ourdiets.
You know what happened back inthe 1930s, you know, was the
(11:43):
marijuana tax act, because youknow, of course, the cotton
trade and other trades did notlike that.
You know this was encroachingon their kind of territory, and
so be it.
But then in 37 they passed themarijuana tax act which made
hemp and all cannabis illegal.
Not just marijuana, but thisbeautiful hemp plant that didn't
(12:04):
have any intoxicating effects,that we use for industrial
purposes.
I mean there's over 20,000,40,000 uses for hemp.
I mean everything from now hemp, batteries, hemp, biofuel, hemp
building materials, hempcrete.
You know, industrialapplications are here, well, are
(12:26):
here today, because now youknow, the passage of the Farm
Bill said OK back a few yearsago saying, you know, no, hemp
is not a Schedule 1 drug and wecan start to bring it back
actually had a big hand inlobbying for the laws to change
(12:47):
and everything, because thisbeautiful plant had more than
just well being, you knowwellness for our bodies, but
also those industrialapplications.
So you know that we've come along way, a long, long way, but
in a very short period of time.
So so at least we know now thedifferences in hemp and
marijuana.
Today we're talking about hempplant cannabinoids.
(13:08):
Oh, they affect our well-being,which I'll get into shortly.
But any questions about thatkind of history of hemp and how
it was so important to um, ourwell-being being in part of the
american pharmacopeia I thinkwhat is interesting to me is the
full circle.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
So now we're back to, you know, having to fight for
something that was already there, that was taken away.
You know I could definitely goon a tangent about
industrialization and capitalismand some of the things that it
has impacted, and now we see theway that that's impacted our
health and our well-being, andnot just our physical health but
(13:49):
also our mental health, and Ithink that, you know, I'm glad
that we've incorporated backinto the system and into well,
into I don't know if it's allover North America or just in
the United States.
I'm in Canada, so I don't knowwhat's going on over here.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
To be frank, yeah, no , no, I mean Canada right now.
I mean they legalize marijuana,so they won't allow any
importation of any of thesetypes of products to Canada
because they're growing theirown, you know, and they want to.
You know, and there are somecountries like that, but for the
most part, like our company,products are in over 47
(14:29):
countries.
Now, you know.
But we'll get into why that isand everything.
But you're right, it's comingfull circle where something that
we always had was taken awayfrom us.
And then when we think about,okay, 1930s to where we are
today, and then we think about,okay, spike in all the cancers
and autism and ADD and seizuresand all those things, could it
(14:55):
be that that had something to dowith it?
And I will tell you yes, it is,and that's been scientifically
proven.
Because it was only in the early1900s, 1990s, that Dr Raphael
Mishulam discovered theendocannabinoid system, which
every mammal has.
(15:16):
So we have an age, old plant,new health science.
It was only discovered.
Dr Raphael Mishulam was, was,was looking at, okay, what's
going on with the runner's highand the endorphins and all that,
and that led him to thediscovery of the endogenous
cannabinoid system.
It's, it's a 12 system withinour bodies, we all.
We have a muscular system, arespiratory system.
(15:39):
You know all our systems well.
The endocannabinoid system is asystem and it was just recently
discovered.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
When we think about timeline, you know wow, tell us
a little bit more about that now.
I know we're not going to havea huge scientific conversation,
but I think a little bit ofunderstanding of the system will
help us then see how beneficialthe use is.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yes, absolutely Well.
First of all, thisendocannabinoid system is the
body's largest self-regulatorysystem.
In our bodies it's responsiblefor balance, or homeostasis
between all bodily functions.
This is not me saying this,this is now science.
So we have CBD, cb1 receptorsin our brain and our nervous
(16:28):
system and CB2 receptors in ourgut, in our visceral area that
supports the immune system.
Now we have oxidative stressEveryone knows about that, the
free radicals that are out thereand all the stressors on our
body.
And then we have, you know well, we have antioxidants right In
our body that we produce.
(16:48):
Well, the whole point is to getboth of those in balance.
And when we're out of balancewith too much oxidative stress,
which causes all kinds ofdisease in the body, our bodies
are in trouble.
And so what?
This?
Why this industry now exists isbecause the discovery of this
endocannabinoid system is hereand it's now, and it's not like
(17:11):
you can feed it vitamin C orother vitamins to support it.
The only thing that can supportit are cannabinoids.
So we produce cannabinoidswithin our bodies.
We do it naturally.
They're called endocannabinoidswithin our bodies.
We do it naturally, they'recalled endocannabinoids within,
and they're most predominantlyfound in mother's breast milk,
which we can get into anotherconversation of why that is just
(17:32):
so important.
But but then they degradebecause we're not those
cannabinoids that are producedwithin our bodies.
2ag and anandamide are thedisintegrator.
They deteriorate very, veryquickly because we're not being
fed from external sources phytocannabinoids found in plants,
(17:54):
primarily in hemp and thecannabis plant.
That's what feeds thisendogenous cannabinoid system.
So since we're not feeding ourpigs, our cattle, our sheep hemp
and we're getting thosenutrients that way, the only way
to deal with the problem of nothaving enough is to ingest
(18:15):
phytocannabinoids found fromplants, and that's where we get
CBD, cbg and other cannabinoids.
We'll talk a little bit aboutsome of the major ones in a bit.
Other cannabinoids We'll talk alittle bit about some of the
major ones in a bit.
But what's interesting is DrEthan Russo, back in 2004,
basically postulated clinicalendocannabinoid deficiency
syndrome.
(18:35):
This is a medical term and hebasically felt that our bodies
are so out of balance by nothaving this important nutrient,
things like lupus andfibromyalgia and things that we
didn't know well what causedthis and why is this happening.
He's now he has coined thisterm, which is now in medical
journals and everything clinicalendocannabinoid deficiency
(18:57):
syndrome.
So if we have this deficiency,how do we support it?
How do we supplement?
And the only way that we can atthis point is by taking
plant-based phytocannabinoidsfound from hemp and a good
quality source, and we'll talkabout what people should look
for.
Okay, but hopefully people nowunderstand why we need it.
(19:18):
We produce cannabinoids and joecannabinoids, we'reids.
We're not feeding that system.
The only way to feed it is withphytocannabinoids, and you know
who knows now, like remember Isaid that timeline in the 30s to
where we are today, yeah, andjust in 2004, dr Russo, you know
, said hey, this is why there'sso many things happening.
(19:39):
We're not feeding thisimportant system that was newly
discovered.
And so that's why this industryis here.
It's here to stay.
Yes, it's only been, you know,10, 12, 15 years.
You know that the first evercannabinoids were brought to
market by our company and I'mvery, very proud of that.
That's why I'm here, because ofthe innovation and fighting the
(20:02):
fight and changing the laws andlobbying and all that that went
in 10 years prior to bringing in2012, the first ever election
commercially CBD product to theworld was our company, and now
everyone is kind of gettinginvolved in it, and rightfully
so.
However, unlike Canada, youknow, we're starting to get some
(20:24):
good regulatory laws and thingslike that, cause it's not a
regulated industry.
It's becoming that way and nowpeople are starting to
understand well, I can't justbuy something at the gas station
.
I need.
This is a serious supplement,you know, and anybody like you
are in wellness know that it'simportant to have quality, you
(20:45):
know, and so that's where we'reat today.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Going on in my head right Right now it's like wait a
minute, wait a minute, hold on,hold on, hold on.
So how do we then get thisinformation to our everyday
general physician who is likeyou're going there saying I have
this and you discover you havethese things.
It's not.
Their first line of defense isnot to go and look at you know,
cbd or, most of the time, notsome natural resource or source
(21:16):
that can help with that.
So how are you, as anorganization, being able to
lobby for the doc, like to thedoctors and say, hey, hey, hello
, hello, it is that knock on thedoor.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
You know that's so important that you said that,
because, okay, so first the lawshad to be changed.
Now we are here.
It's it's actually being myniece just graduated.
She lives um in ottawa and sheis a doctor.
And you know she was saying,wow, we're just starting to
learn about this because,remember, the doctors like my
age and you know our ages orwhatever, they weren't trained
(21:53):
in this, they weren't trained intrained, they weren't trained
in homeopathy and all that.
That's why we have naturopathsand we have so many people that
have come to us on the holisticor alternative side of medicine.
But we know now that people,doctors now, are starting to
want to learn because, remember,they weren't trained in this.
(22:15):
The younger generation nowcoming in are okay, because this
is science now.
So, but again, most of us allthink about, oh, getting high
thc, what's that going to do foryour body?
But now that there's over Idon't know, 30 000 clinical
studies, I mean there you cangoogle cbd and anything and
you're going to see studies, Idon't no matter what it is, you
(22:38):
know.
And then there's a lot of greatinformation out there and
there's a lot of somemisinformation out there because
people are thinking the old way.
And so how are these doctorsfinding out about this?
It's by having an open mind andit's about having you know.
You know, and it's about havingyou know.
You know, tens of thousands offans around the world going and
(22:59):
knocking on, like I have.
You know, doctors that I knowthat have said hey, my patients
are coming in asking I don'tknow where to, I don't know
where to point them because I'mnot trained in this, and that's
where we come into play.
You know to do that and then topoint them into the right
direction or educate them onwhere to start looking at this
information, because you know,let's face it, if we are using a
(23:21):
natural botanical product, youknow it's not like you have to
worry about.
Well, I guess no, I shouldn'tsay that.
You know overdosing andeverything else.
You know, like opioids and allthis other thing.
But yes, of course, somenatural um, you know products
can have a toxicity, but that'snot what we're talking about
here.
So they need to go to peoplethey know and trust, or people
(23:44):
that are educated in this topic,like I am and many others, so
that they can get theinformation so that they can
feel comfortable recommending itto their patients, at least
know why they need it, why theyshould try it.
It's an antioxidant, it's aneuroprotectant, it's
anti-inflammatory the list goeson Antispasmodic you know
(24:05):
there's a patent in the USpatent claiming cannabinoids as
antioxidants andneuroprotectants.
You know, it's US patent6630507.
You know.
So this is again.
We're not just talking aboutfluff here, we're talking about
science.
So an open-minded doctor willshould say, okay, somebody needs
(24:27):
to learn.
And now you know there's a lotout there people like myself
that could educate them and thenthey can confidently go to
their patients Um and with arecommended source.
Because now that you've said,oh well, why don't you try CBD?
Well, what you want, you know,and that's the problem.
I think that is now where we'rehoping to change as a result of
(24:47):
getting in front of and showingwhat they need to look for
purity, and we'll get into somethings that people need to look
for.
I mean, our product is listed umin um, the physician's desk
reference, the pdr, you know,which is a journal, a medical
journal, where doctors go to howto treat certain things.
(25:08):
You know our cbd is the onlyproduct listed in that, the only
cannabis product listed in thatprestigious journal.
So you know they have to lookfor quality, they have to look
for someone that can guide themand how they can start utilizing
the products, and it's almostlike, oh, at this point.
(25:28):
There's plenty of symposiums.
I know what we've done withsome of my colleagues around the
world is held some medicalsymposiums.
I've spoken to Lynn about that.
I mean, because you're going toalign with a company, you want
to make sure that you canprovide the information, provide
quality products and then howto use them right, and so we've
done some medical symposiums indifferent cities around the
(25:49):
country.
This was right before COVID hitand we're starting them up
again because that's how peoplewill come to learn.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, I have a question based on what you were
sharing earlier, which is what,what different?
Because you talked about itbeing an anti-inflammatory we
talked a little bit aboutearlier and fibromyalgia, but
what other diseases or othermedical issues can be helped by
(26:24):
the CBD?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh yeah, and when I mentioned lupus and fibromyalgia
, that was.
That was how Dr Russo finallycame to the understanding that,
hey, we don't know why certainthings happen, but it possibly
be.
And that's where you know hesays, yes, the system is so
everything you know.
I've been at this now I'mstudying this for over 11 years
(26:46):
now.
I am a founding member ofCanaway and the company that
brought these cannabinoids tothe marketplace to begin with,
and it is.
I just want to.
I don't want to digress.
Your question was just go back,of course, the question is you
know what?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
what issues?
I guess I'm going to say thatthat's where we were.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, so everything like you know, from A to Z, if
you're thinking about if thisputs the body into balance, you
know I mean well, what can be,you know what can be addressed
and that's where you know, withall the studies there's studies
on cancer, on seizure disorder,there's all like I don't claim,
we don't claim that this isgoing to treat or cure anything.
(27:32):
But if you give the body whatit needs and you put the body in
balance also hydrate, eating,good foods, the whole thing but
in this particular case, withsupplementing the
endocannabinoid system, if it'sresponsible for homeostasis and
all bodily functions andeverything is working in harmony
together, then, just like withsome of the studies around
cancer, you know they wereshowing that cbd helps stop the
(27:55):
growth of cancer and causesapoptosis, cellular death within
the cancer cell.
These are parts of these areresearch that's going on.
But then you have your own.
You know we use word of mouth,you know our company uses direct
sales out there and everything.
When I say a to a to z, frominfants, infants to seniors, our
fluffy friends also, cats, dogs, horses, every mammal has this
(28:20):
endocannabinoid system, and whatmy colleagues me personally
have seen through these lastalmost 11 years now, it's just
been crazy, you know, and tohear from athletes Olympic
athletes with you know chronictraumatic encephalopathy, cte,
concussion, trauma, and how theywere hooked on opioids and
(28:41):
drugs and that was spiralingthem into a different place
where they didn't want to be,and finding more natural
solutions and how, again,studies are out there about CTE
and other things.
So you know, when we talk aboutthis and like, yes, I'm
recommending, you know we'retalking about a certain product.
I want the audience tounderstand we don't claim to
(29:02):
treat or cure anything.
When you give the body what itneeds, the body does what it
needs to do, you know.
So it's not just one magicbullet.
You know, every, we have to eatright, we have to hydrate, we
have to um, keep our, our mentalhealth sharp and get enough
rest and, with this discovery ofthe endocannabinoid system,
(29:22):
this is why we're having thisconversation.
It is now that I've learned whatI've learned.
This will always be a part ofme and my family's diet, because
it's not like anything cansupplement can replace it.
Anything can supplement canreplace it.
You know.
I mean, you know it's thateducation and that knowledge and
(29:42):
giving people oh, hey, try this, yes, in conjunction with
whatever it is that you'recurrently doing, and we have a
lot of people that we work withthat we see, okay, they're on
certain meds that maybe theywant to reduce or get off and
they start to now do morenatural approaches to healthcare
.
And and they start to now domore natural approaches to
health care and now they startto see that reduction, some
people staying on lower doses oftheir meds and coming off.
(30:03):
You know, you just never know.
If you put the body in balance,the body can do amazing things,
and I always come back to that.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I love what you're saying and you're exactly right.
You're coming back to thebalance.
That's what holistic treatmentis about.
It's holistic, it's all of thethings, it's mind, body, spirit,
soul, all of it connected andunderstanding.
I think what maybe is a missingout there is ourselves
(30:33):
understanding our own bodies andour own systems, and maybe
there's that's where you know wecan do a better job, meaning
society, I guess, and in schools, is actually each of us
understanding oh, we have thesesystems.
Okay, I took.
The last science class I tookwas in grade nine.
I know, okay, you know, andeverything else, because I'm an
(30:57):
avid learner, I began to learnon my own.
As I go down a rabbit hole orfor most people, it happens when
something's happened to youyeah, right, you were saying
that earlier there's some sortof impetus that starts and
ignites this, this search forhow do I get better, right, you?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
know, and you know we are preachers of comfort.
We go to people we know, likeand trust for information, right
, I mean, that's what the wholepoint is is to really get this
message out there.
That's why our founders of ourcompany, instead of like, doing
like billboards and going atraditional route something
sitting on a shelf this had tobe educated, had to be talked
(31:37):
about, and so that's why theychose marketing or direct sales
to get the product to the marketwe think about, from nobody
hearing it about it, to hundredsof thousands of people in 47,
48 countries and other countries, even like laws or like that
all started just about 11, 12years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
And let's just talk about the company.
We keep saying the company, butthis company now sounds very
interesting and I want to knowmore about it.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, thank you.
Well, you know I'm very, veryproud of it.
You know, our parent company acompany Conaway was launched to
be the direct sales arm ofgetting this product to market.
Traditional forms ofadvertising would not do.
Stories had to be told,people's personal stories of
perseverance over things.
I mean, whether it be anonverbal, autistic child is now
(32:25):
mainstream school.
You know, I mean things likethat that just change your life.
After some of the things I'veseen, there's no other place I
can be than here speaking topeople like you, because that's
how the message is going to getout there.
That's how, you know, by usdeveloping teams of people that
go out and and educate, the waywe are doing here, whether it's
(32:49):
one-on-one conversation on apodcast in front of tens of
thousands of people, which I'vebeen a part of over the years I
mean it's, it's just mindblowing and it's going to
continue to be that way.
That's why we're always lookingfor people to say hey, yes, I
want to know more, I want to addthis to my practice.
Hey, I'm a single mom and I'mlooking for a job that can be
(33:11):
around with my kids.
You know, show me how I canreplace my income and and help
other people.
You know, show me how I canreplace my income and help other
people, you know.
So we have that component to it.
But the most important thing iscircling back to yes, we need
CBD, yes, we need to incorporatethese cannabinoids into our
daily diets.
What do we need to look for?
(33:31):
And you know, canaway set thestandards.
We were the first.
We were the first company everto bring products to market.
Many have followed suit, butwe've set the standards.
There was no regulation when itcame to testing.
We set the standard of triplelab testing, having certificates
of analysis available with abarcode.
You know, don't get any product,you guys, unless you know where
(33:52):
the product is sourced andthere's COAs of what's in it,
what's not in it, how safe is it?
Like all that stuff?
You must have that.
Of course, our company, canaway, we do have that.
That's why, you know, lynn,we're having this conversation
and why she thought that thiswas so important for her people
to choose the right product.
So you need to make sure it'spure, organic.
(34:13):
We grow our crops in organic,biodynamic farms, you know, that
are free from pesticides andchemicals and herbicides, and
all that so certified organicunder FDA guidelines, so that
the product is pure, and then atthe end of the day, it's okay.
You've got all thosecertificates of analysis.
Now you know you have a goodproduct.
(34:35):
How much do I need to take, youknow?
Speaker 1 (34:37):
what is the recommended?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
daily allowance.
Well, guess what?
There isn't one, but there is ayou know school of thought
right now, because again, such anew industry is you know if
you're under 50 pounds, you knowyou start small.
You know 10, 20 milligrams, youknow you're, you're over 50
pounds and you're healthy.
50, 50 milligrams a day of cbdyou know if you're dealing with
(35:02):
issues as we start to age little, or you know, swelling of the
joints and maybe lack of sleepand low energy.
Well then, you increase it.
You know some people take 100,200 milligrams a know, but again
, this is of the naturalbotanical form.
Watch out for the syntheticsout there and for those kinds of
things, because you know youdon't want to go there, yeah of
(35:27):
course you don't want to gothere.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Let's talk about that for a minute, because I think
it's important that now weunderstand the benefits and we
understand it's important for itto be pure and organic.
Well, I think it should beorganic.
Of course, it's better for thebody.
You don't want to ingest allthose chemicals.
What should we watch out for?
Like you know, for vitamins,you want to watch out for
fillers and different things andhow the capitals are made and
(35:51):
all of that you want to do andwe've been told and taught about
that.
So, yes, for the people theaudience that's listening what
do we really want to watch outfor?
What do we want to look for?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, you want to make sure that the product is
what it what it?
is like I was saying first ofall, make sure it has some what
we call COAs so that you can seethat there's no arson.
You know no impurities in thereand what's in the bottle is
actually in the bottle becauseyou know, with nutritional, like
vitamins and stuff, there's alot of stuff out there.
There aren't even you knowvitamins in it.
You know it's all those fillershere you want to just look for.
(36:24):
You know cbd oil, cbd derivedfrom hemp, and that should be
the ingredient, you know, andand maybe organic mct oil as a
carrier oil.
But there should not be anyother fillers or binders or
anything like that in product.
You know same, when you start tothink about a cbd, it's an
(36:44):
antioxidant to your protection.
It helps with inflammation,energy.
You know cognitive function,those things reduction of
discomfort or pain in the bodythat's's what cannabidiol is
known for.
So you want to see what that is.
Then, if you're dealing with areputable source like our
(37:05):
company, we also have all otherphytocannabinoids that are
within the plant and plant waxes, and chlorophyll and flavonoids
and terpenes.
You know all the goodness ofthe plant.
You know you want to make surethat that's in there.
You know that's part of it.
So you're not just gettingfragmented amounts, you're not
(37:25):
getting any synthetic amounts ofCBD derived from synthetic
sources or whatever.
You have to really look forthat purity and then that's just
what it is CBD, or if it's kindof a gyral CBG that helps with
mood and depression.
You want to see that.
That's the only thing that's inthere other than potentially
like a, a carry all hemp seedoil or we use mc, organic mct
(37:49):
oil.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
You know you'll find it, but other than that, that's
it that is so important for usto know and I think it's you
know, it's the the statement ofwhen you're looking for whole
products.
It won't have a lot of stufflisted, it won't have things
that you can understand, thatare clear for you, that don't
say this, this and this and thenyou get lost in the label.
(38:13):
Is this long?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
And that's true In this situation you'll have, okay
, yes, maybe at a fair you'llsee somebody selling CBD oil,
all right, and they'll say, ohyeah, it's just CBD.
Okay, great, where is thecertificate of analysis?
Do you provide one?
Because a lot of people doinghomegrown things and different
things, you know, and they can'tprove that that product is
(38:35):
organic, because, again, this issomething when you start to
incorporate and feed thisendocannabinoid system.
What's very important is thisis not something you take when
you have a headache.
This is a daily.
This is not something you takewhen you have a headache.
This is a daily supplement,just like I drink water and you
drink water every day.
This is not something you takewhen you feel like it.
Most people have come to cb,learn about cbd and cannabinoids
(38:57):
and everything, because there'san issue.
Right, there's an issue goingon.
They want to feel better.
They've too much they heardabout it.
You know, through the all theseyears, I guess we did a really
good job of getting the messageout there, because now there's a
lot of companies food companiestoo in this space, obviously,
um and and the more the merrier,because our goal is hemp in
every home.
That's, that's what our, ourcompany's.
(39:19):
You know, philosophy is is weneed to have hemp in every home
and from industrial eventuallyto now eating this
endocannabinoid system.
But even though it may say that, make sure I want everyone here
this, if you take nothing elseaway, yes, we need this and we
need to take it every day.
Okay, and you find you'll findthe right amount of milligrams.
(39:40):
Like, we may have aconversation and you may say, oh
, you know, I'm trying to targetthis, that and the other thing,
and then, based on that, I'mgoing to say, all right, let's
start with 50 milligrams a dayand the different cannabinoids,
oh, you have sleep issues?
Great.
Then we're going to look at CBDcannabidiol and that is CBN
cannabinol.
(40:01):
That's going to help you withsleep.
It works on the sleep receptors.
I didn't say that.
There's science that says that,because now, as you know, the
industry is growing and, asthere's more and more research
and more science, people arestarting.
What we're finding is, oh, thiscannabinoid will deal with this
.
Cbg will help with stress,depression, anxiety, focus.
(40:24):
I mean, I have seen countless,countless kids and adults that
suffer with you know, they're alittle scattered, you know, and
you have that kind of going onfocusing issues.
Um no, it's like night and day.
It's like a switch just went onfor many people and it's not
like it's this miracle thing inone dose.
(40:46):
This is starting to supplementthat system and people find,
within a couple of days or acouple of weeks, sometimes maybe
longer, depending on what it is, but with daily use, just like
we drink water every day you'regoing to start that
endocannabinoid system that'sresponsible for balance is going
to start to function better,and when that happens, people
(41:07):
start to see things happening.
Too many times, though, we havepeople oh, I bought this at the
gas station.
They told me to go get CBD.
I saw it at the gas station, Isaw it at the fair or something,
and it did nothing.
Well, guess what?
Nobody educated them on howmuch they should be taking, what
they should be looking for,that they needed to take it, you
(41:28):
know, at least every day, maybetwice a day, depending.
There was nobody to teach themhow to utilize it, and or it
really it wasn't there.
It was hemp seed oil in there,it was olive oil in there, it
was anything but, or it was 10milligrams in the entire bottle,
and you need 50 milligrams aday.
So a bottle should last you amonth, if that's the case for
(41:52):
most people not, you know so howmuch is in there?
the quality of it, you know thequantity, how to use it.
That's where that's what youget when you now come to your
directory.
You're going to get someonewho's going to help your, your
clientele, be guided along howthey should be utilizing and
(42:13):
what they should be looking for.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
And I was just going to say that.
You said it for me.
You know.
What I was going to say is youknow we need to have someone
that we can speak to and talk to.
We can speak to and talk to andyou know a lot of us get on
Google, chat, gpt, you knowwherever and become our own
(42:36):
doctors and our own naturopathsand our own.
And, yes, we need to understandour bodies and we need to know
what's going to work for ourbodies.
So it's important to know that.
But then to also go to theexperts that can help and assist
you in that journey to havethat holistic health approach.
And I'm so glad that you arepart of our organization and
that we do have the Canawayproducts listed on our products
(43:01):
directory.
So if you're looking for youjust want to peruse the products
, you can go to that part of ourwebsite.
But you know, I think it's alsoimportant not just to do that,
but then to have a conversationwith someone like you, and your
information is going to beavailable on the site as well.
So it's just a wonderfulrelationship that's being
(43:21):
created here and I learned somuch today that I had no idea I
knew.
Okay, you honestly, I I'm justgonna say it straight like, okay
, you take, you know, take weedif you want to sleep, if you're
anxious, if you have depression,if you want to get high.
You know, those are the thingsthat I knew.
I know hemp hearts have hemphearts put them in your protein
(43:42):
shake and have hemp hearts.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Add this, add this, add this but I didn't make us
great for omegas three and six.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
That's it.
I didn't understand that youneed something every day and I'm
a woman in perimenopause, soyou know I'm like ha focus sleep
anxiety.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
I don't have hot flashes, I have some.
I have cold flashes.
Ah I'm on the opposite and Ihad to look it up because I had
never heard of anyone havingcold flashes.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Interesting.
I've never heard of that.
Yeah, I looked it up.
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, yeah, that's when thatwas my first experience.
It's so funny because they say,um, and I was asked you, you
know, 11 years ago, to come sitdown with dr titus and talk
about the, the launching of thiscompany that was going to be
doing this.
I was like and at that time Iwas in your- situation.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
I think I'm a little bit older than you, so that was
11 years ago.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I sat there in that boardroom and having one of
those situations and dr titusturned around and said another
couple weeks or something, thoseare going to be gone.
And I'm like, oh and I, andsure enough, you know, within
the next month or two those wentdown from 100% down to 10%.
Wow.
Then it just said that was myfirst, my own personal
(45:03):
experience, never mind whathappened with my husband, my
children and my family, friends,and then, of course, hundreds
of thousands of people in 47countries.
It's just incredible, but itall started with that.
So it's funny that youmentioned Well, I was gonna
cause.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
you know, we got like these podcasts are for me too,
okay.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
I'll make sure I'll be able to recommend And'm so
glad I just before I want tomake sure I just you guys for
being so open minded, so forhaving maybe a part of your
directory and and a member ofyour trusted group to be able to
educate people, because that'sreally the foremost important
(45:47):
thing that we we can do is ishelp people with the knowledge
so they can make the rightdecision for themselves and then
have a human that they can talkto, not just chat.
Gbt, it's working into thatspace where, um, you have
somebody say, oh you know, threedays nothing's really happened.
Hey, stay the course, you know,I mean because you're not going
to get that you know any otherway than through this beautiful,
(46:11):
um, beautiful directory andwhat you're, what you're
providing to people.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
I really want to thank you guys for that well, I
would say you're welcome, butalso thank you for all of all of
the wonderful people that wehave on the directory, like
yourself, who are out theretrying to make a difference for
people from a holisticstandpoint.
It's so important.
I was, maybe 10, 15 years ago,corporate girl in the corporate
(46:39):
world.
Nothing in where I am now today, and it all came through my own
journey, like like each one ofus have, and then educating
myself into what can I dodifferently.
And I think that's so importantis that when you're looking for
something different, I don'twant to always say alternative.
(47:00):
Because of this, we call thisalternative medicine, but this
is no Complimentary.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
It's complimentary, right it it's not alternative.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
It is something that came holistic, centuries and
centuries and centuries ago,yeah, and so we're just getting
back to what works the best forour bodies and learning that
there's a system that you knowmost of us don't even know about
that was just recentlydiscovered, yeah, yeah, like you
know, 2005, you said right,that's, that's so recent.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
It's crazy, right.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
You know so well it's .
It's, yeah, we've come a verylong way in this short amount of
time, but with that, you know,industry like a regular
regulatory agencies have to be,you know, know, get on board and
they have to be more involved.
And everything right now, likeright now as we're speaking,
we're part of the european hempassociation that helps to govern
(47:57):
things.
And also also in the unitedstates and, you know, in italy
right now, there's a, there's a,there's something going on.
There's a big hearing going onbecause they want to, like,
outlaw it again.
You know the government,because of, you know, pressure
maybe from pharmaceuticalscompanies or whatever, they're
looking to go back and nowthey're like, oh no, that's not
(48:19):
going to happen.
And so the more of us that arehere that understand that we
have to fight the fight aboutholistic and complementary
approaches to health care Ourmedical community wants to know
this.
You're starting to seeacceptance with many, many
medical professionals and theones that say, well, gosh, I
(48:41):
just can't sell it out of mypractice because, you know, I
wasn't schooled in licensing andall that kind of bureaucratic
stuff.
That's where we come in, right?
So we have these kind ofconversations and give people
the confidence that we're notjust trying to sell them
something.
I mean, there's so manywonderful products out there.
I know it can get veryoverwhelming.
Well, how much you know peptideshould I take and vitamins do I
(49:05):
take?
And GLP-1 and coffee with youknow mushrooms, and how great is
that I'm really enjoying?
Um, no, but I'm just sayinglike there's so much.
But what I want people tounderstand with this
conversation is we do have anendocannabinoid system and the
only thing that can support thatare phytocannabinoids that come
(49:28):
from plants like hemp andechinacea and flax and a few
other.
But we need to supplement on adaily basis and then people are
gonna see the benefits.
And now, with CBN for night andCBG for stress who's not
sleeping well and under stressand CBD as an antioxidant, those
are the.
(49:49):
That's a trio.
That's that's the magic thing.
So we're going to be speakingand I'm going to make sure
you're all set up with what youneed so that in a month or so
you can come back and say, wow,you know, this is really
something we can do a follow-up.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Of course, of course, why not?
Why not?
I mean, this is just the startof the conversation, of course.
I think for every, every personI speak with, everything I I'm
so blessed that I get to havethese conversations because I
get, like the firsthand, I getto ask stuff about myself all
the time and hopefully thosequestions will, will help our
(50:23):
audience.
So I just want to say onceagain, valerie, thank you so
much for sharing your knowledge,your expertise.
We will probably have you onagain.
You know when, when, when thetime comes to ask more deeper
questions and understanding of,of, of, of, of this, this, not
just this product, this, thisscience behind it.
(50:45):
Yeah, we can.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
we can do a little, we can do, a little symposium
for 30 minutes or so on some ofthe science, we'll come up with
some.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
It's so good, but thank you, thank you so much.

As you all know, I do a lot ofpreemptive talking before I hit
record and sometimes I think Ishould just record right from
the beginning, get all thosesnippets and maybe I'll do that
next time.
And I keep saying it and Idon't do it, and maybe next time
I'll just let it record.
But you know, valerie, thequestion that I ask all of our
guests before we get into thenitty gritty of who you are and
(03:17):
what you do and how you came tobe who you are right now?
What is your definition ofhealing?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Wow, Thank you so much for having me and I love
our conversation so far.
So it's going to be a pleasureto be with you in the audience
today.
So, you know, the first wordthat comes to mind is balance,
you know, because if we're notin balance, how well can we be?
So, you know, I guess we can.
(03:45):
That's the first thing thatcomes to mind, because there's
just so much when it comes tohealing oneself right,
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
There is so much.
I think healing is such a smallword, but a huge impact and a
lot behind it, and you know youhad a very interesting journey
into the space that you're incurrently.
And, of course, you knowinquiring minds want to know
about how you stepped into thisjourney, teach us your expertise
(04:19):
.
We're here to learn from youand then be able to walk away
and use some of the informationthat you've given us to help us
on our journeys.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah Well, thank you, yes, and we all come
to our place, I think, as aresult, if we're guided and we
move into that step.
Sometimes it's scary, but mywhole journey started I don't
know 25,.
You know, over 30 years ago Ilost my mother to breast cancer.
She was only 59 years old and Ihad a three-year-old and was
pregnant with my daughter.
(04:48):
So, as a young mom going,losing your best friend and your
mom at such a young age, youknow, you start to think and you
know why.
Why, why is this happening?
And now we've looked 30 years.
Since that time, everyone thatwe know is dealing with cancer
or some kind of disease.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Right, so how did that all?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
happen and as a new mom, I was like I'm going to do
everything possible to make surethat my kids are raised in as
healthy a way as possible,because this should never happen
.
I have two wonderful sistersand we're all so close, and so
it really the driving force wastrying to learn.
When my mom got initially sickwith cancer 10 years prior, you
(05:30):
know what kind of things can wedo to keep ourselves fit,
healthy and young and dealnaturally with this because
obviously the chemicals andstuff, although helpful, you
know, isn't the be-all end-all.
And so that's where theinquiring mind at me started
going.
And it was all because of thatpersonal experience.
And then you know, fast forwarda few years after losing her, I
(05:53):
went through a divorce and andmy own personal you know story
of depression and anxiety andall that stuff that goes along
with, okay, as a single momraising two kids and losing your
best friend, like all thatstuff is turned into it, and I
think that's what led me downthat path of understanding.
(06:14):
You know about mental health,having gone through depression
and anxiety, and you know havingto be there for my kids when
you don't want to.
I mean, how many people havethese kinds of things that they
face, and you know I don't knowwhat I mean.
How many people have thesekinds of things that they face
and you know I don't know whatpulls you out of things.
I know.
For me it was a faithfulsituation, you know, and saying,
you know my kids deserve moreand I got to get myself well.
(06:35):
And that led then on to, youknow, a friend sharing wellness
products with me.
That really helped.
And that was just the beginning.
Then I couldn't get enough ofit, studying nutrition and and
kinesiology and just so manythings and being in a space with
other health and wellnesspractitioners and healers and
(06:59):
all those things that just ledme to where I am today, which
you know we'll get into.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But it is talking about the cannabis industry,
which lots of talk about thatand I think it's a very
interesting conversation becauseit can be so polarized, and I
think that's because we don'thave enough information or we're
fed an imbalance of information.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So the imbalance of information that's out there
then can tend to overshadow thebenefits that are that are there
with the, with the products andwith this particular plant.
And then there's also confusionright there's, there's the whole
confusion.
So I'm so glad that we have thisopportunity to clear the
(07:44):
confusion, to get a little bitof a better understanding of how
we can use this, because Ithink it is a wonderful plant
when it's used for healingpurposes.
And, and my opinion, which Iwill state, is that I will state
(08:09):
is that many, many, many moonsago, before we had chemical
processes for healing purposes,we used things from the earth,
Whatever was available that ourancient people found wisdom
through.
You know, all over the world,not just you know in one side of
the world, where we say, oh,there's a Western and Eastern,
it's all over the world.
All the peoples all over theworld, not just you know, in one
side of the world, where we say, oh, there's a Western and
Eastern, it's all over the world.
All the peoples all over theworld were finding and using
(08:30):
things that would help them healor elevate in their spiritual
experience.
However, you wanted to use that.
So I am going to let you tellthe peoples and kind of clear
the confusion about this plant.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yes, yeah, okay, great Well let's get into it a
little bit, because it all.
First we'll start off with.
We're talking about hemp andcannabinoids, cbd derived from
hemp.
We're not talking aboutmarijuana on this conversation.
We've got great experts thatcan actually I can introduce you
that have the understandingabout medical marijuana and how
(09:12):
marijuana is used.
Marijuana is grown short andbushy.
It's grown for a highconcentration of THC, so that's
most people think.
When I, you know, when I wasasked to, you know, launch a
company to bring CBD to theworld.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
people think I'm going to be a drug dealer.
You know, I know what's goingon and I'm like no, no, no,
that's what I thought, because Isaid, no, I'm not going to
teach.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I told my kids not to do drugs.
What are you talking about?
You know like no, no, you don'tunderstand.
And our foremost authority wasmy initial and is my mentor
today and the founder of thecompany I represent that away.
So we'll talk about that as wego forward.
But the difference is twodifferent trees in the cannabis
forest.
(09:53):
You've got marijuana, as I justdescribed, and then you have
hemp.
Hemp grows tall and lengthy,you know, like bamboo.
Okay, a very low concentrationof THC, but very high
concentration of CBD kind of adial and other cannabinoids that
this beautiful plant produces.
(10:13):
So most people think about hemp.
Back in the early days, 1600s,our founding fathers came over.
They brought hemp, they grewhemp.
There was hemp rope and salesand clothing and feed.
We fed our livestock hemp notgenetically modified, born, you
know um.
So we ingested that livestock.
(10:36):
We got the benefits of hemp,all those cannabinoids that
support our body, and we'll talkabout that in a second.
So, but then it was back in2737 BC when the Chinese emperor
Shenyang first used cannabis,for medical reasons, you know.
And so we think, like you said,many, many moons ago, you know,
(10:58):
people from all over the worldhave incorporated this plant
holy, anointing oils, all kindsof things.
And so when our foundingfathers brought hemp over and we
started to grow it in the 1800s, it was part of the American
pharmacopeia.
You know our base oil, for allour, the majority of our
pharmaceuticals had the base oilof cannabis, and this is so
(11:22):
fascinating.
So you know we were part of theAmerican pharmacopeia.
Cannabis use was everythingfrom cramps to seizures and you
name it, and it was part of oursociety, it was part of our
well-being, it was part of ourdiets.
You know what happened back inthe 1930s, you know, was the
(11:43):
marijuana tax act, because youknow, of course, the cotton
trade and other trades did notlike that.
You know this was encroachingon their kind of territory, and
so be it.
But then in 37 they passed themarijuana tax act which made
hemp and all cannabis illegal.
Not just marijuana, but thisbeautiful hemp plant that didn't
(12:04):
have any intoxicating effects,that we use for industrial
purposes.
I mean there's over 20,000,40,000 uses for hemp.
I mean everything from now hemp, batteries, hemp, biofuel, hemp
building materials, hempcrete.
You know, industrialapplications are here, well, are
(12:26):
here today, because now youknow, the passage of the Farm
Bill said OK back a few yearsago saying, you know, no, hemp
is not a Schedule 1 drug and wecan start to bring it back
actually had a big hand inlobbying for the laws to change
(12:47):
and everything, because thisbeautiful plant had more than
just well being, you knowwellness for our bodies, but
also those industrialapplications.
So you know that we've come along way, a long, long way, but
in a very short period of time.
So so at least we know now thedifferences in hemp and
marijuana.
Today we're talking about hempplant cannabinoids.
(13:08):
Oh, they affect our well-being,which I'll get into shortly.
But any questions about thatkind of history of hemp and how
it was so important to um, ourwell-being being in part of the
american pharmacopeia I thinkwhat is interesting to me is the
full circle.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
So now we're back to, you know, having to fight for
something that was already there, that was taken away.
You know I could definitely goon a tangent about
industrialization and capitalismand some of the things that it
has impacted, and now we see theway that that's impacted our
health and our well-being, andnot just our physical health but
(13:49):
also our mental health, and Ithink that, you know, I'm glad
that we've incorporated backinto the system and into well,
into I don't know if it's allover North America or just in
the United States.
I'm in Canada, so I don't knowwhat's going on over here.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
To be frank, yeah, no , no, I mean Canada right now.
I mean they legalize marijuana,so they won't allow any
importation of any of thesetypes of products to Canada
because they're growing theirown, you know, and they want to.
You know, and there are somecountries like that, but for the
most part, like our company,products are in over 47
(14:29):
countries.
Now, you know.
But we'll get into why that isand everything.
But you're right, it's comingfull circle where something that
we always had was taken awayfrom us.
And then when we think about,okay, 1930s to where we are
today, and then we think about,okay, spike in all the cancers
and autism and ADD and seizuresand all those things, could it
(14:55):
be that that had something to dowith it?
And I will tell you yes, it is,and that's been scientifically
proven.
Because it was only in the early1900s, 1990s, that Dr Raphael
Mishulam discovered theendocannabinoid system, which
every mammal has.
(15:16):
So we have an age, old plant,new health science.
It was only discovered.
Dr Raphael Mishulam was, was,was looking at, okay, what's
going on with the runner's highand the endorphins and all that,
and that led him to thediscovery of the endogenous
cannabinoid system.
It's, it's a 12 system withinour bodies, we all.
We have a muscular system, arespiratory system.
(15:39):
You know all our systems well.
The endocannabinoid system is asystem and it was just recently
discovered.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
When we think about timeline, you know wow, tell us
a little bit more about that now.
I know we're not going to havea huge scientific conversation,
but I think a little bit ofunderstanding of the system will
help us then see how beneficialthe use is.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yes, absolutely Well.
First of all, thisendocannabinoid system is the
body's largest self-regulatorysystem.
In our bodies it's responsiblefor balance, or homeostasis
between all bodily functions.
This is not me saying this,this is now science.
So we have CBD, cb1 receptorsin our brain and our nervous
(16:28):
system and CB2 receptors in ourgut, in our visceral area that
supports the immune system.
Now we have oxidative stressEveryone knows about that, the
free radicals that are out thereand all the stressors on our
body.
And then we have, you know well, we have antioxidants right In
our body that we produce.
(16:48):
Well, the whole point is to getboth of those in balance.
And when we're out of balancewith too much oxidative stress,
which causes all kinds ofdisease in the body, our bodies
are in trouble.
And so what?
This?
Why this industry now exists isbecause the discovery of this
endocannabinoid system is hereand it's now, and it's not like
(17:11):
you can feed it vitamin C orother vitamins to support it.
The only thing that can supportit are cannabinoids.
So we produce cannabinoidswithin our bodies.
We do it naturally.
They're called endocannabinoidswithin our bodies.
We do it naturally, they'recalled endocannabinoids within,
and they're most predominantlyfound in mother's breast milk,
which we can get into anotherconversation of why that is just
(17:32):
so important.
But but then they degradebecause we're not those
cannabinoids that are producedwithin our bodies.
2ag and anandamide are thedisintegrator.
They deteriorate very, veryquickly because we're not being
fed from external sources phytocannabinoids found in plants,
(17:54):
primarily in hemp and thecannabis plant.
That's what feeds thisendogenous cannabinoid system.
So since we're not feeding ourpigs, our cattle, our sheep hemp
and we're getting thosenutrients that way, the only way
to deal with the problem of nothaving enough is to ingest
(18:15):
phytocannabinoids found fromplants, and that's where we get
CBD, cbg and other cannabinoids.
We'll talk a little bit aboutsome of the major ones in a bit.
Other cannabinoids We'll talk alittle bit about some of the
major ones in a bit.
But what's interesting is DrEthan Russo, back in 2004,
basically postulated clinicalendocannabinoid deficiency
syndrome.
(18:35):
This is a medical term and hebasically felt that our bodies
are so out of balance by nothaving this important nutrient,
things like lupus andfibromyalgia and things that we
didn't know well what causedthis and why is this happening.
He's now he has coined thisterm, which is now in medical
journals and everything clinicalendocannabinoid deficiency
(18:57):
syndrome.
So if we have this deficiency,how do we support it?
How do we supplement?
And the only way that we can atthis point is by taking
plant-based phytocannabinoidsfound from hemp and a good
quality source, and we'll talkabout what people should look
for.
Okay, but hopefully people nowunderstand why we need it.
(19:18):
We produce cannabinoids and joecannabinoids, we'reids.
We're not feeding that system.
The only way to feed it is withphytocannabinoids, and you know
who knows now, like remember Isaid that timeline in the 30s to
where we are today, yeah, andjust in 2004, dr Russo, you know
, said hey, this is why there'sso many things happening.
(19:39):
We're not feeding thisimportant system that was newly
discovered.
And so that's why this industryis here.
It's here to stay.
Yes, it's only been, you know,10, 12, 15 years.
You know that the first evercannabinoids were brought to
market by our company and I'mvery, very proud of that.
That's why I'm here, because ofthe innovation and fighting the
(20:02):
fight and changing the laws andlobbying and all that that went
in 10 years prior to bringing in2012, the first ever election
commercially CBD product to theworld was our company, and now
everyone is kind of gettinginvolved in it, and rightfully
so.
However, unlike Canada, youknow, we're starting to get some
(20:24):
good regulatory laws and thingslike that, cause it's not a
regulated industry.
It's becoming that way and nowpeople are starting to
understand well, I can't justbuy something at the gas station
.
I need.
This is a serious supplement,you know, and anybody like you
are in wellness know that it'simportant to have quality, you
(20:45):
know, and so that's where we'reat today.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Going on in my head right Right now it's like wait a
minute, wait a minute, hold on,hold on, hold on.
So how do we then get thisinformation to our everyday
general physician who is likeyou're going there saying I have
this and you discover you havethese things.
It's not.
Their first line of defense isnot to go and look at you know,
cbd or, most of the time, notsome natural resource or source
(21:16):
that can help with that.
So how are you, as anorganization, being able to
lobby for the doc, like to thedoctors and say, hey, hey, hello
, hello, it is that knock on thedoor.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
You know that's so important that you said that,
because, okay, so first the lawshad to be changed.
Now we are here.
It's it's actually being myniece just graduated.
She lives um in ottawa and sheis a doctor.
And you know she was saying,wow, we're just starting to
learn about this because,remember, the doctors like my
age and you know our ages orwhatever, they weren't trained
(21:53):
in this, they weren't trained intrained, they weren't trained
in homeopathy and all that.
That's why we have naturopathsand we have so many people that
have come to us on the holisticor alternative side of medicine.
But we know now that people,doctors now, are starting to
want to learn because, remember,they weren't trained in this.
(22:15):
The younger generation nowcoming in are okay, because this
is science now.
So, but again, most of us allthink about, oh, getting high
thc, what's that going to do foryour body?
But now that there's over Idon't know, 30 000 clinical
studies, I mean there you cangoogle cbd and anything and
you're going to see studies, Idon't no matter what it is, you
(22:38):
know.
And then there's a lot of greatinformation out there and
there's a lot of somemisinformation out there because
people are thinking the old way.
And so how are these doctorsfinding out about this?
It's by having an open mind andit's about having you know.
You know, and it's about havingyou know.
You know, tens of thousands offans around the world going and
(22:59):
knocking on, like I have.
You know, doctors that I knowthat have said hey, my patients
are coming in asking I don'tknow where to, I don't know
where to point them because I'mnot trained in this, and that's
where we come into play.
You know to do that and then topoint them into the right
direction or educate them onwhere to start looking at this
information, because you know,let's face it, if we are using a
(23:21):
natural botanical product, youknow it's not like you have to
worry about.
Well, I guess no, I shouldn'tsay that.
You know overdosing andeverything else.
You know, like opioids and allthis other thing.
But yes, of course, somenatural um, you know products
can have a toxicity, but that'snot what we're talking about
here.
So they need to go to peoplethey know and trust, or people
(23:44):
that are educated in this topic,like I am and many others, so
that they can get theinformation so that they can
feel comfortable recommending itto their patients, at least
know why they need it, why theyshould try it.
It's an antioxidant, it's aneuroprotectant, it's
anti-inflammatory the list goeson Antispasmodic you know
(24:05):
there's a patent in the USpatent claiming cannabinoids as
antioxidants andneuroprotectants.
You know, it's US patent6630507.
You know.
So this is again.
We're not just talking aboutfluff here, we're talking about
science.
So an open-minded doctor willshould say, okay, somebody needs
(24:27):
to learn.
And now you know there's a lotout there people like myself
that could educate them and thenthey can confidently go to
their patients Um and with arecommended source.
Because now that you've said,oh well, why don't you try CBD?
Well, what you want, you know,and that's the problem.
I think that is now where we'rehoping to change as a result of
(24:47):
getting in front of and showingwhat they need to look for
purity, and we'll get into somethings that people need to look
for.
I mean, our product is listed umin um, the physician's desk
reference, the pdr, you know,which is a journal, a medical
journal, where doctors go to howto treat certain things.
(25:08):
You know our cbd is the onlyproduct listed in that, the only
cannabis product listed in thatprestigious journal.
So you know they have to lookfor quality, they have to look
for someone that can guide themand how they can start utilizing
the products, and it's almostlike, oh, at this point.
(25:28):
There's plenty of symposiums.
I know what we've done withsome of my colleagues around the
world is held some medicalsymposiums.
I've spoken to Lynn about that.
I mean, because you're going toalign with a company, you want
to make sure that you canprovide the information, provide
quality products and then howto use them right, and so we've
done some medical symposiums indifferent cities around the
(25:49):
country.
This was right before COVID hitand we're starting them up
again because that's how peoplewill come to learn.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, I have a question based on what you were
sharing earlier, which is what,what different?
Because you talked about itbeing an anti-inflammatory we
talked a little bit aboutearlier and fibromyalgia, but
what other diseases or othermedical issues can be helped by
(26:24):
the CBD?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh yeah, and when I mentioned lupus and fibromyalgia
, that was.
That was how Dr Russo finallycame to the understanding that,
hey, we don't know why certainthings happen, but it possibly
be.
And that's where you know hesays, yes, the system is so
everything you know.
I've been at this now I'mstudying this for over 11 years
(26:46):
now.
I am a founding member ofCanaway and the company that
brought these cannabinoids tothe marketplace to begin with,
and it is.
I just want to.
I don't want to digress.
Your question was just go back,of course, the question is you
know what?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
what issues?
I guess I'm going to say thatthat's where we were.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, so everything like you know, from A to Z, if
you're thinking about if thisputs the body into balance, you
know I mean well, what can be,you know what can be addressed
and that's where you know, withall the studies there's studies
on cancer, on seizure disorder,there's all like I don't claim,
we don't claim that this isgoing to treat or cure anything.
(27:32):
But if you give the body whatit needs and you put the body in
balance also hydrate, eating,good foods, the whole thing but
in this particular case, withsupplementing the
endocannabinoid system, if it'sresponsible for homeostasis and
all bodily functions andeverything is working in harmony
together, then, just like withsome of the studies around
cancer, you know they wereshowing that cbd helps stop the
(27:55):
growth of cancer and causesapoptosis, cellular death within
the cancer cell.
These are parts of these areresearch that's going on.
But then you have your own.
You know we use word of mouth,you know our company uses direct
sales out there and everything.
When I say a to a to z, frominfants, infants to seniors, our
fluffy friends also, cats, dogs, horses, every mammal has this
(28:20):
endocannabinoid system, and whatmy colleagues me personally
have seen through these lastalmost 11 years now, it's just
been crazy, you know, and tohear from athletes Olympic
athletes with you know chronictraumatic encephalopathy, cte,
concussion, trauma, and how theywere hooked on opioids and
(28:41):
drugs and that was spiralingthem into a different place
where they didn't want to be,and finding more natural
solutions and how, again,studies are out there about CTE
and other things.
So you know, when we talk aboutthis and like, yes, I'm
recommending, you know we'retalking about a certain product.
I want the audience tounderstand we don't claim to
(29:02):
treat or cure anything.
When you give the body what itneeds, the body does what it
needs to do, you know.
So it's not just one magicbullet.
You know, every, we have to eatright, we have to hydrate, we
have to um, keep our, our mentalhealth sharp and get enough
rest and, with this discovery ofthe endocannabinoid system,
(29:22):
this is why we're having thisconversation.
It is now that I've learned whatI've learned.
This will always be a part ofme and my family's diet, because
it's not like anything cansupplement can replace it.
Anything can supplement canreplace it.
You know.
I mean, you know it's thateducation and that knowledge and
(29:42):
giving people oh, hey, try this, yes, in conjunction with
whatever it is that you'recurrently doing, and we have a
lot of people that we work withthat we see, okay, they're on
certain meds that maybe theywant to reduce or get off and
they start to now do morenatural approaches to healthcare
.
And and they start to now domore natural approaches to
health care and now they startto see that reduction, some
people staying on lower doses oftheir meds and coming off.
(30:03):
You know, you just never know.
If you put the body in balance,the body can do amazing things,
and I always come back to that.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I love what you're saying and you're exactly right.
You're coming back to thebalance.
That's what holistic treatmentis about.
It's holistic, it's all of thethings, it's mind, body, spirit,
soul, all of it connected andunderstanding.
I think what maybe is a missingout there is ourselves
(30:33):
understanding our own bodies andour own systems, and maybe
there's that's where you know wecan do a better job, meaning
society, I guess, and in schools, is actually each of us
understanding oh, we have thesesystems.
Okay, I took.
The last science class I tookwas in grade nine.
I know, okay, you know, andeverything else, because I'm an
(30:57):
avid learner, I began to learnon my own.
As I go down a rabbit hole orfor most people, it happens when
something's happened to youyeah, right, you were saying
that earlier there's some sortof impetus that starts and
ignites this, this search forhow do I get better, right, you?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
know, and you know we are preachers of comfort.
We go to people we know, likeand trust for information, right
, I mean, that's what the wholepoint is is to really get this
message out there.
That's why our founders of ourcompany, instead of like, doing
like billboards and going atraditional route something
sitting on a shelf this had tobe educated, had to be talked
(31:37):
about, and so that's why theychose marketing or direct sales
to get the product to the marketwe think about, from nobody
hearing it about it, to hundredsof thousands of people in 47,
48 countries and other countries, even like laws or like that
all started just about 11, 12years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
And let's just talk about the company.
We keep saying the company, butthis company now sounds very
interesting and I want to knowmore about it.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, thank you.
Well, you know I'm very, veryproud of it.
You know, our parent company acompany Conaway was launched to
be the direct sales arm ofgetting this product to market.
Traditional forms ofadvertising would not do.
Stories had to be told,people's personal stories of
perseverance over things.
I mean, whether it be anonverbal, autistic child is now
(32:25):
mainstream school.
You know, I mean things likethat that just change your life.
After some of the things I'veseen, there's no other place I
can be than here speaking topeople like you, because that's
how the message is going to getout there.
That's how, you know, by usdeveloping teams of people that
go out and and educate, the waywe are doing here, whether it's
(32:49):
one-on-one conversation on apodcast in front of tens of
thousands of people, which I'vebeen a part of over the years I
mean it's, it's just mindblowing and it's going to
continue to be that way.
That's why we're always lookingfor people to say hey, yes, I
want to know more, I want to addthis to my practice.
Hey, I'm a single mom and I'mlooking for a job that can be
(33:11):
around with my kids.
You know, show me how I canreplace my income and and help
other people.
You know, show me how I canreplace my income and help other
people, you know.
So we have that component to it.
But the most important thing iscircling back to yes, we need
CBD, yes, we need to incorporatethese cannabinoids into our
daily diets.
What do we need to look for?
(33:31):
And you know, canaway set thestandards.
We were the first.
We were the first company everto bring products to market.
Many have followed suit, butwe've set the standards.
There was no regulation when itcame to testing.
We set the standard of triplelab testing, having certificates
of analysis available with abarcode.
You know, don't get any product,you guys, unless you know where
(33:52):
the product is sourced andthere's COAs of what's in it,
what's not in it, how safe is it?
Like all that stuff?
You must have that.
Of course, our company, canaway, we do have that.
That's why, you know, lynn,we're having this conversation
and why she thought that thiswas so important for her people
to choose the right product.
So you need to make sure it'spure, organic.
(34:13):
We grow our crops in organic,biodynamic farms, you know, that
are free from pesticides andchemicals and herbicides, and
all that so certified organicunder FDA guidelines, so that
the product is pure, and then atthe end of the day, it's okay.
You've got all thosecertificates of analysis.
Now you know you have a goodproduct.
(34:35):
How much do I need to take, youknow?
Speaker 1 (34:37):
what is the recommended?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
daily allowance.
Well, guess what?
There isn't one, but there is ayou know school of thought
right now, because again, such anew industry is you know if
you're under 50 pounds, you knowyou start small.
You know 10, 20 milligrams, youknow you're, you're over 50
pounds and you're healthy.
50, 50 milligrams a day of cbdyou know if you're dealing with
(35:02):
issues as we start to age little, or you know, swelling of the
joints and maybe lack of sleepand low energy.
Well then, you increase it.
You know some people take 100,200 milligrams a know, but again
, this is of the naturalbotanical form.
Watch out for the syntheticsout there and for those kinds of
things, because you know youdon't want to go there, yeah of
(35:27):
course you don't want to gothere.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Let's talk about that for a minute, because I think
it's important that now weunderstand the benefits and we
understand it's important for itto be pure and organic.
Well, I think it should beorganic.
Of course, it's better for thebody.
You don't want to ingest allthose chemicals.
What should we watch out for?
Like you know, for vitamins,you want to watch out for
fillers and different things andhow the capitals are made and
(35:51):
all of that you want to do andwe've been told and taught about
that.
So, yes, for the people theaudience that's listening what
do we really want to watch outfor?
What do we want to look for?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, you want to make sure that the product is
what it what it?
is like I was saying first ofall, make sure it has some what
we call COAs so that you can seethat there's no arson.
You know no impurities in thereand what's in the bottle is
actually in the bottle becauseyou know, with nutritional, like
vitamins and stuff, there's alot of stuff out there.
There aren't even you knowvitamins in it.
You know it's all those fillershere you want to just look for.
(36:24):
You know cbd oil, cbd derivedfrom hemp, and that should be
the ingredient, you know, andand maybe organic mct oil as a
carrier oil.
But there should not be anyother fillers or binders or
anything like that in product.
You know same, when you start tothink about a cbd, it's an
(36:44):
antioxidant to your protection.
It helps with inflammation,energy.
You know cognitive function,those things reduction of
discomfort or pain in the bodythat's's what cannabidiol is
known for.
So you want to see what that is.
Then, if you're dealing with areputable source like our
(37:05):
company, we also have all otherphytocannabinoids that are
within the plant and plant waxes, and chlorophyll and flavonoids
and terpenes.
You know all the goodness ofthe plant.
You know you want to make surethat that's in there.
You know that's part of it.
So you're not just gettingfragmented amounts, you're not
(37:25):
getting any synthetic amounts ofCBD derived from synthetic
sources or whatever.
You have to really look forthat purity and then that's just
what it is CBD, or if it's kindof a gyral CBG that helps with
mood and depression.
You want to see that.
That's the only thing that's inthere other than potentially
like a, a carry all hemp seedoil or we use mc, organic mct
(37:49):
oil.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
You know you'll find it, but other than that, that's
it that is so important for usto know and I think it's you
know, it's the the statement ofwhen you're looking for whole
products.
It won't have a lot of stufflisted, it won't have things
that you can understand, thatare clear for you, that don't
say this, this and this and thenyou get lost in the label.
(38:13):
Is this long?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
And that's true In this situation you'll have, okay
, yes, maybe at a fair you'llsee somebody selling CBD oil,
all right, and they'll say, ohyeah, it's just CBD.
Okay, great, where is thecertificate of analysis?
Do you provide one?
Because a lot of people doinghomegrown things and different
things, you know, and they can'tprove that that product is
(38:35):
organic, because, again, this issomething when you start to
incorporate and feed thisendocannabinoid system.
What's very important is thisis not something you take when
you have a headache.
This is a daily.
This is not something you takewhen you have a headache.
This is a daily supplement,just like I drink water and you
drink water every day.
This is not something you takewhen you feel like it.
Most people have come to cb,learn about cbd and cannabinoids
(38:57):
and everything, because there'san issue.
Right, there's an issue goingon.
They want to feel better.
They've too much they heardabout it.
You know, through the all theseyears, I guess we did a really
good job of getting the messageout there, because now there's a
lot of companies food companiestoo in this space, obviously,
um and and the more the merrier,because our goal is hemp in
every home.
That's, that's what our, ourcompany's.
(39:19):
You know, philosophy is is weneed to have hemp in every home
and from industrial eventuallyto now eating this
endocannabinoid system.
But even though it may say that, make sure I want everyone here
this, if you take nothing elseaway, yes, we need this and we
need to take it every day.
Okay, and you find you'll findthe right amount of milligrams.
(39:40):
Like, we may have aconversation and you may say, oh
, you know, I'm trying to targetthis, that and the other thing,
and then, based on that, I'mgoing to say, all right, let's
start with 50 milligrams a dayand the different cannabinoids,
oh, you have sleep issues?
Great.
Then we're going to look at CBDcannabidiol and that is CBN
cannabinol.
(40:01):
That's going to help you withsleep.
It works on the sleep receptors.
I didn't say that.
There's science that says that,because now, as you know, the
industry is growing and, asthere's more and more research
and more science, people arestarting.
What we're finding is, oh, thiscannabinoid will deal with this
.
Cbg will help with stress,depression, anxiety, focus.
(40:24):
I mean, I have seen countless,countless kids and adults that
suffer with you know, they're alittle scattered, you know, and
you have that kind of going onfocusing issues.
Um no, it's like night and day.
It's like a switch just went onfor many people and it's not
like it's this miracle thing inone dose.
(40:46):
This is starting to supplementthat system and people find,
within a couple of days or acouple of weeks, sometimes maybe
longer, depending on what it is, but with daily use, just like
we drink water every day you'regoing to start that
endocannabinoid system that'sresponsible for balance is going
to start to function better,and when that happens, people
(41:07):
start to see things happening.
Too many times, though, we havepeople oh, I bought this at the
gas station.
They told me to go get CBD.
I saw it at the gas station, Isaw it at the fair or something,
and it did nothing.
Well, guess what?
Nobody educated them on howmuch they should be taking, what
they should be looking for,that they needed to take it, you
(41:28):
know, at least every day, maybetwice a day, depending.
There was nobody to teach themhow to utilize it, and or it
really it wasn't there.
It was hemp seed oil in there,it was olive oil in there, it
was anything but, or it was 10milligrams in the entire bottle,
and you need 50 milligrams aday.
So a bottle should last you amonth, if that's the case for
(41:52):
most people not, you know so howmuch is in there?
the quality of it, you know thequantity, how to use it.
That's where that's what youget when you now come to your
directory.
You're going to get someonewho's going to help your, your
clientele, be guided along howthey should be utilizing and
(42:13):
what they should be looking for.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
And I was just going to say that.
You said it for me.
You know.
What I was going to say is youknow we need to have someone
that we can speak to and talk to.
We can speak to and talk to andyou know a lot of us get on
Google, chat, gpt, you knowwherever and become our own
(42:36):
doctors and our own naturopathsand our own.
And, yes, we need to understandour bodies and we need to know
what's going to work for ourbodies.
So it's important to know that.
But then to also go to theexperts that can help and assist
you in that journey to havethat holistic health approach.
And I'm so glad that you arepart of our organization and
that we do have the Canawayproducts listed on our products
(43:01):
directory.
So if you're looking for youjust want to peruse the products
, you can go to that part of ourwebsite.
But you know, I think it's alsoimportant not just to do that,
but then to have a conversationwith someone like you, and your
information is going to beavailable on the site as well.
So it's just a wonderfulrelationship that's being
(43:21):
created here and I learned somuch today that I had no idea I
knew.
Okay, you honestly, I I'm justgonna say it straight like, okay
, you take, you know, take weedif you want to sleep, if you're
anxious, if you have depression,if you want to get high.
You know, those are the thingsthat I knew.
I know hemp hearts have hemphearts put them in your protein
(43:42):
shake and have hemp hearts.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Add this, add this, add this but I didn't make us
great for omegas three and six.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
That's it.
I didn't understand that youneed something every day and I'm
a woman in perimenopause, soyou know I'm like ha focus sleep
anxiety.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
I don't have hot flashes, I have some.
I have cold flashes.
Ah I'm on the opposite and Ihad to look it up because I had
never heard of anyone havingcold flashes.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Interesting.
I've never heard of that.
Yeah, I looked it up.
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, yeah, that's when thatwas my first experience.
It's so funny because they say,um, and I was asked you, you
know, 11 years ago, to come sitdown with dr titus and talk
about the, the launching of thiscompany that was going to be
doing this.
I was like and at that time Iwas in your- situation.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
I think I'm a little bit older than you, so that was
11 years ago.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I sat there in that boardroom and having one of
those situations and dr titusturned around and said another
couple weeks or something, thoseare going to be gone.
And I'm like, oh and I, andsure enough, you know, within
the next month or two those wentdown from 100% down to 10%.
Wow.
Then it just said that was myfirst, my own personal
(45:03):
experience, never mind whathappened with my husband, my
children and my family, friends,and then, of course, hundreds
of thousands of people in 47countries.
It's just incredible, but itall started with that.
So it's funny that youmentioned Well, I was gonna
cause.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
you know, we got like these podcasts are for me too,
okay.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
I'll make sure I'll be able to recommend And'm so
glad I just before I want tomake sure I just you guys for
being so open minded, so forhaving maybe a part of your
directory and and a member ofyour trusted group to be able to
educate people, because that'sreally the foremost important
(45:47):
thing that we we can do is ishelp people with the knowledge
so they can make the rightdecision for themselves and then
have a human that they can talkto, not just chat.
Gbt, it's working into thatspace where, um, you have
somebody say, oh you know, threedays nothing's really happened.
Hey, stay the course, you know,I mean because you're not going
to get that you know any otherway than through this beautiful,
(46:11):
um, beautiful directory andwhat you're, what you're
providing to people.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
I really want to thank you guys for that well, I
would say you're welcome, butalso thank you for all of all of
the wonderful people that wehave on the directory, like
yourself, who are out theretrying to make a difference for
people from a holisticstandpoint.
It's so important.
I was, maybe 10, 15 years ago,corporate girl in the corporate
(46:39):
world.
Nothing in where I am now today, and it all came through my own
journey, like like each one ofus have, and then educating
myself into what can I dodifferently.
And I think that's so importantis that when you're looking for
something different, I don'twant to always say alternative.
(47:00):
Because of this, we call thisalternative medicine, but this
is no Complimentary.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
It's complimentary, right it it's not alternative.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
It is something that came holistic, centuries and
centuries and centuries ago,yeah, and so we're just getting
back to what works the best forour bodies and learning that
there's a system that you knowmost of us don't even know about
that was just recentlydiscovered, yeah, yeah, like you
know, 2005, you said right,that's, that's so recent.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
It's crazy, right.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
You know so well it's .
It's, yeah, we've come a verylong way in this short amount of
time, but with that, you know,industry like a regular
regulatory agencies have to be,you know, know, get on board and
they have to be more involved.
And everything right now, likeright now as we're speaking,
we're part of the european hempassociation that helps to govern
(47:57):
things.
And also also in the unitedstates and, you know, in italy
right now, there's a, there's a,there's something going on.
There's a big hearing going onbecause they want to, like,
outlaw it again.
You know the government,because of, you know, pressure
maybe from pharmaceuticalscompanies or whatever, they're
looking to go back and nowthey're like, oh no, that's not
(48:19):
going to happen.
And so the more of us that arehere that understand that we
have to fight the fight aboutholistic and complementary
approaches to health care Ourmedical community wants to know
this.
You're starting to seeacceptance with many, many
medical professionals and theones that say, well, gosh, I
(48:41):
just can't sell it out of mypractice because, you know, I
wasn't schooled in licensing andall that kind of bureaucratic
stuff.
That's where we come in, right?
So we have these kind ofconversations and give people
the confidence that we're notjust trying to sell them
something.
I mean, there's so manywonderful products out there.
I know it can get veryoverwhelming.
Well, how much you know peptideshould I take and vitamins do I
(49:05):
take?
And GLP-1 and coffee with youknow mushrooms, and how great is
that I'm really enjoying?
Um, no, but I'm just sayinglike there's so much.
But what I want people tounderstand with this
conversation is we do have anendocannabinoid system and the
only thing that can support thatare phytocannabinoids that come
(49:28):
from plants like hemp andechinacea and flax and a few
other.
But we need to supplement on adaily basis and then people are
gonna see the benefits.
And now, with CBN for night andCBG for stress who's not
sleeping well and under stressand CBD as an antioxidant, those
are the.
(49:49):
That's a trio.
That's that's the magic thing.
So we're going to be speakingand I'm going to make sure
you're all set up with what youneed so that in a month or so
you can come back and say, wow,you know, this is really
something we can do a follow-up.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Of course, of course, why not?
Why not?
I mean, this is just the startof the conversation, of course.
I think for every, every personI speak with, everything I I'm
so blessed that I get to havethese conversations because I
get, like the firsthand, I getto ask stuff about myself all
the time and hopefully thosequestions will, will help our
(50:23):
audience.
So I just want to say onceagain, valerie, thank you so
much for sharing your knowledge,your expertise.
We will probably have you onagain.
You know when, when, when thetime comes to ask more deeper
questions and understanding of,of, of, of, of this, this, not
just this product, this, thisscience behind it.
(50:45):
Yeah, we can.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
we can do a little, we can do, a little symposium
for 30 minutes or so on some ofthe science, we'll come up with
some.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
It's so good, but thank you, thank you so much.
