#20 CBD and Diabetes with Stacy Bull from Your CBD Store
You've probably heard about Hemp and CBD. There's a lot of buzz about how good and effective CBD is for treating multiple ailments and conditions, such as: anxiety, depression, inflammatory issues, pain relief, sleeping disorders and many more, but there's also quite some confusion about CBD and Marijuana: "Are they the same thing? Would I get high if I consume CBD products? Is CBD legal? Would it help me if I'm a diabetic? What's the link between CBD and Diabetes?
So, to learn about CBD and clear all of these doubts (and more), we brought Stacy Bull from Your CBD Store to the podcast, who's an expert on the matter.
Stacy is the General Manager for 3 Your CBD Store locations in Collier County, 2 currently in Naples and 1 on Marco Island. She has a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration from UW Milwaukee and has worked in ophthalmology, oncology and cardiology. Stacy says: "I always knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field and help others but if you would have told me I would be in the cannabis industry one day, I would have laughed (...) I absolutely love what I do, educating others on hemp derived cannabinoid products and promoting cannabinoid therapy as an alternative medicine."
GOLD MEDAL QUOTES
- “Right now the FDA does not regulate CBD products (...) Only 42% of CBD brands tested all their products for potency (...) Many of those 58% brands didn’t test for heavy metals or pesticides”.
- "It is extremely important that when you buy CBD products to check for independent third party lab tests and certificate for analysis"
