Using CBD in a Clinical Practice
There is a lot more for us to learn about the endocannabinoid system’s role in health. However, thousands of studies have now explored the many ways in which this system benefits us.
In this episode, Chris Meletis, ND, will focus primarily on the clinical use of CBD based on his own experience and the growing body of supporting research. Chris will share his favorite uses of CBD and terpenes and the supporting research.
