All right, thanks for joining us today. Hey Rick, how you doing?

Michelle? Thanks.

So glad you're here today. And we want to talk about stress, anxiety and depression and why millions and millions of people are now using CBD products to help them handle the stress anxiety and depression and actually get back to a normal stasis so homeostasis in their bodies and have a more fulfilling life in my gosh, this is what a huge impact as making on millions of people's lives.

Yeah, yeah, it is. And, you know, is now the, you know, for many people in you know, around the world, right? Because CBD is in like, so many countries, now they go, the go to as a as, as natural, plant based, safe way to help with that stress, that anxiety in a lot of depression that's going on right now in the world with all the different topics that's happening, you know, and they're going on AM, I really think Michelle in the last year, actually, I really think the last six months right began in 2022 and all the things are happening, that people are understanding that you know, good quality, right? It has to be safe, has to be has to have some purity, and it has to be consistent. And you have those three pillars of CBD, you have an amazing foundation of daily health and wellness. And people now understanding that safe pure CBD is is from a plant, right a lot of people take I take, I used to take whey protein, for example. Am and then I realized, well, that comes from cheese, right? And it's dairy based, right? And that, well, I don't like to put dairy based products in my body and a lot of people don't look chemicals and you know, just dairy just exactly, you know, so I went to organic plant based protein. And you basically that's what CBD is it's organic, plant based nutrition. I mean, that's how I look at as a plant vitamin. And people are understand that more and more now. And that it's a great safe alternative. It's it's less expensive, obviously, on a daily even on a daily basis, even like 100 milligrams a day. It's much less expensive than taking a drug for that CBD and the history of mankind, right? And the whole history in Vimeo, today's social media, Michelle and your your social media queen, it would be on social media in a heartbeat, right? Never has there been a case of CBD being an overdose of CBD being tossed, you know, having a toxic toxicity level in your body. Right? It's safe. I mean, people have been taking take 1000 to 2000 milligrams a day of CBD, and it's been safe for them. So they know they can take the 100 milligrams 10 milligrams a day. It's safe is very inexpensive compared to the drugs. There's no harmful at all side effects been shown from CBD, you know, quality CBD and that people are understanding that to cope with the stress to cope with anxiety to cope with daily degrees of depression, that this is something that we used every single day. Now I think the biggest thing is shown I love I love this topic. I love this, that they're like well, okay, so you I was told it works. But why is it work? Right? I was told CBD does all these other things too. And sometimes it does and sometimes it has and sometimes it hasn't. Well, I explained to you. We have an endocannabinoid system. This like we have like 11 other systems within our body to help regulate, you know, our respiratory system for breathing, muscle mass Kotori system, right different things. We have an endocannabinoid system. Now that ECS system has receptors are called CB one CBT receptors. Now it's very simple science that when you nourish your body with a CBD, which is a cannabinoid with a cannabinoid, whether it's CBD is an isolate or more Multiple cannabinoids, that it goes into your body and those CB one CB two receptors open up, you know, they open up and receive intake the CBD. And that's what helped nourishes and Rec. Our, our endocannabinoid system is set to regulate our mood, our home homeostasis, right? Overarching mood, overarching health and wellness, your mood, but also that also and we have different receptors found mainly in our in different organs in our, in our mental part of the body and in our brain. So that that's why the science works. That's why CBD is absolutely beneficial for stress, anxiety, mood support depression, because it's shown to to work with the endocannabinoid system that's within certain organs of our body, liver and stomach and in our brain, right. And that's why it works so well. And people now are understanding it, and they're trusting it. They're trusting it, because knowledge is there now. And there's been three or four years worth of usage of quality CBD products, like we have, right there that are safe, that are pure, and they're consistent. And when you understand that, it is a no brainer, why would you why would anyone ever use a drug again, if you can replace it with something that's all natural?

Absolutely, I mean, it's kind of a side effects of things that you would use to help with anxiety or depression or so, or stress even are, you know, over the or prescription based drugs that are expensive, and also, you know, have also horrible side effects. So this seems like a really great alternative. And obviously, like you want to do this in, you know, in collaboration with like a good diet and walking and exercise and things to you. Is that correct? Yeah,

absolutely. Like yeah, like, there's no there's not, there's not one thing that cures everything, right. Life doesn't work that way, you have to work hard, you have to put time and energy in anything that's worth anything. But taking CBD, you know, 50 to 100 milligrams a day, with a good you routine, exercise routine, a good diet, you know, it's not just physical health, right? It's mental health, it's, it's spiritual health you need you have to have all three, you have to have mental, physical and spiritual health to have, you know, optimal quality of life, you know, quality of life is everything for you and your pet. So 100% in some sort of regimen with everything else. And it is I'm just excited that we are living in a time that you know, CBD and other cannabinoids are being discovered as really, truly future health and wellness.

Yeah, absolutely. And it's so available now. So it'll be interesting to see what happens in like, another 10 years from now, with this being available for people to just purchase, over the counter and, you know, in stores and online and everything, the effects that it's going to have on are just, you know, effects people are going to have in like their everyday life being able to do this and it'd be so accessible. Now our kids and kids are having a huge problem with stress and anxiety, especially post pandemic, something we've been talking a lot about, I guess. And you know, I think this is amazing, because this is great for kids too, is is really beneficial for

100% for kids, you know, from, you know, there's all kinds of studies all kinds of, you know, just true stories from people, right?
