CBD is a hot topic these days. Is it actually helpful? Is it harmful? How does it work? Is it just another version of snake oil? One of the biggest misconceptions I see surrounding CBD is that people want it to be THC free. However, a truly full-spectrum CBD product does have a very small amount of THC in it which you actually want because all the compounds need to be present to work synergistically.  I discuss all this and more in this episode as well as talk about what to look for in a quality CBD product.  Music: ＭＩＬＬＥＮＮＩＡＬＳ by Analog By Nature (c) copyright 2018 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yourhealthyourway/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yourhealthyourway/support
