CBD, mindset, decision making, manifesting your dreams? What’s the secret? The secret is the law of attraction. Creating your own reality through yourself and working towards your personal transformation. We are joined by Bob Doyle, transformation expert, guide and coach- best known for his contributions to the movie and book, “The Secret”. Bob explains the journey. We learn about neuroplasticity and rewiring the brain to create change. Rather than looking at transformation as a mystical process, Bob explains the practical approach- how our thoughts, words and actions impact our brains and our actions. We learn about self-awareness, presence and action. Bob digs into personal growth and what’s required to achieve it. Find your “why” and move forward with consistency to achieve all your goals and dreams is one of the messages Bob shares. Be sure to listen and learn. Dr. Ben Gonzales joins Max and Steven to discuss the endocannabinoid system and healing.

Anxiety, stress, insomnia, motherhood…and cbd? Moms can use a little help these days- the usual stressors have only been amplified during pandemic times. How’s a mom to cope? And how can one go from coping to thriving? We are joined by Dr. Aimée Gould Shunney, a naturopathic doctor who includes cbd in her holistic approach to healing. With 20 years of experience as a practitioner, Dr. Shunney is well versed in the health and wellness challenges that her patients experience. She shares her expertise, insights and solutions- including the role of cbd in her approach to managing various conditions in women, pregnant moms, children and people of every kind. Using cbd along with diet, exercise, lifestyle, meditation and grounding in nature, she has found that cbd feeds our endocannabinoid system which helps manage stress response. Cbd supports healthy sleep, regulates moods and improves general health. Dr. Shunney shares how her patients have benefited from cbd on their journeys to better health, calling it a “game changer” for her patients. After personally experimenting with cbd for insomnia and achieving results, she began to recommend it to her patients. Now, Dr. Shunney is considered an expert in cbd. She recommends cbd for conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain, inflammation, chronic illness and neurological disorders. With few downsides to cbd, she feels like it’s a safe and effective approach for most people. Mailsack is extra special today with updates from our chiropractor friends- news about topicals, cbd for pets and a preview of potential new products from Max and Steven.

CBD, women’s health and sharing her personal journey of natural healing are Suzy Ohannessian’s passions and mission. Suzy joins Max and Steven to talk about her experiences suffering from uterine fibroids which led to her discovery of CBD as an effective solution. Using CBD oil sublingually not only helped shrink her fibroids but also made some of them disappear (undetectable via ultrasound), much to the surprise of her doctors who were not exactly supportive of Suzy’s alternative approach. However, Suzy not only found relief, she found her voice as an advocate for women struggling with uterine fibroids and other health issues. Suzy, a lifelong dancer, also noticed that her consistent use of CBD alleviated the aches and pains that she had come to accept as “normal” wear and tear on her body. Suzy now gives talks about women’s health, cbd and cannabis all over the world, on Clubhouse and of course- on Understanding CBD with Max & Steven. We also get a special Maryland Legislative update from Luke Jones and talk about some special people during our Mail Sack segment.

Mechanical engineer Darwin Millard, AKA the “Spock of Cannabis” joins Max and Steven to dive deep into consumer safety in the cannabis industry. Darwin explains how cannabis is currently regulated from growth to finished product. We learn about the ASTM International standards committee for cannabis standards- known as D37. The committee was created to insure product quality for public health and safety. Darwin shares his deep knowledge and explains what consumers should look for when buying cbd products. He even breaks down common but confusing cbd terminology. If you’ve ever wanted to know the difference between full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate or wondered about cannabinoids, terpenes and phytochemicals or asked yourself if hemp seeds are the same as hemp cbd oil, this is the episode for you. In Doc G’s corner, Dr. Ben Gonzalez tackles the topic of functional medicine, how the body’s systems all work together and the concept of healing disease via the endocannabinoid system rather than continuously medicating one condition in isolation from other diseases concurrently existing in the body. The latter approach results in patients finding themselves on multiple prescriptions while still being sick. He explains the power of our endocannabinoid receptors for harnessing the healing benefits of cbd oil for holistic, multi-systemic healing and improving overall health by feeding the endocannabinoid system which for most people is deficient. And in the mail sack section, we hear from a customer in Colorado who was curious about cbd for pain. He asks about drug testing, topical and sublingual use of cbd oil and asks about how to assure product quality. Be sure to listen to learn more!
