How does CBD help individuals manage chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and support overall health and wellbeing?

In this conversation, CBD expert Ali Stoddard shares her insights into the transformative power of this highly potent and impactful compound. She explains how CBD activates the body’s endocannabinoid system to foster healing and improve well-being, providing an alternative to symptom-focused allopathic medicine.

The discussion covers the historical context of hemp, the differences between CBD and THC, and the potential of adaptogens like CBD in treating conditions ranging from anxiety to autoimmune disorders. Ali also highlights the importance of personalized care, the role of nutrition, and the critical connection between our bodies and the earth’s natural energies.
