This is how I started to believe in the woo-woo.

With the ache of new teeth, ice cream, and a beaded crystal necklace were her medicine.

From the age of 9 months to 3 years old, her baltic amber necklace never came off. I spoke with my pediatrician about the risks of sleeping with it because she refused to LET US TAKE IT OFF!! With the proper closure, the MD agreed it was safe enough to keep on around the clock.

Constantly giving toddlers acetaminophen or ibuprofen can wreak havoc on their little bodies.

Words, I thought I’d never say a few years ago… I believe in the power of crystals; it’s not woo woo 💫

I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most influential voices in the medical industry, and I can say with confidence that Ted Reynolds belongs among them.

Ted and I met in 2019 at the 2nd Annual Cannabinoid Summit in Boston. Over the past 6 years, he has become my go-to expert for pharmaceutical-grade evaluations of plant-based medicines.

Is this safe?
How does it work?
What’s the right dosage?
Does this make sense?
I’m notorious for saying, “Wait, I have just one more question,” and Ted has patiently answered them all, providing thoughtful, unbiased, TRUSTED science-based responses every time.

I started my business to sell plant medicine products RESPONSIBLY to physicians, and Ted's knowledge has given me the ability to do that with confidence.

He’s compiled his expertise into a new book: “33 Reasons to Deschedule Cannabis.” This isn’t just a book about cannabis—it’s a call to end outdated laws that continue to harm real people.

I can’t recommend it highly enough; you can check it out here.

This is why we have been so passionate about the benefits of cannabinoid medicine.
Pharmaceutical products have been in development for years, but many need solutions now.

Looking forward to “disruption of the medical establishment. At stake is public faith in not just vaccines but also the system of clinical trials and FDA reviews that are considered a gold standard for the efficacy and safety of new drugs and medical devices.”

Happy Monday ❤️

Anxious and bewildered, some drugmakers are reaching out to their lobbyists about how Robert Kennedy’s pending nomination will affect the Food and Drug Administration.

Speaking words like this out loud can be as effective as taking a dose of medicine.

Happy and healthy new year ❤️

Based on significant clinical need, there is a resurgence of research exploring the potential of psychedelics for hard-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction, PTSD, and anxiety.
M**A (also known as ecstasy or molly) is known as an entactogen and the first in a series of psychedelics under review by the FDA.

On Tuesday, a federal advisory committee voted 9-2 against the use of M**A citing concerns about the integrity of the particular trials up for review.
The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review commented that patients and providers in the trial treated psychedelics “more like a religious movement than like pharmaceutical products.”
With limited information on patient recruitment, panel members raised legitimate some concerns :
-Many patients (40%) had prior experience with M**A.
-It has been reported that therapists may have influenced positive reporting.
-Following allegations of sexual misconduct during an earlier trial there is concern for patient safety.

Anything with the potential to heal has the potential to harm.

The conversations around alternative medicine must start with potential side effects and warnings of adverse events.

Rather than hide this information, let's learn from it and do better.

A federal advisory committee on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly against of the use of M**A, commonly known as ecstasy, as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. The novel treatment has the potential to transform a field with significant need, but the committee had concerns about the integrity....
