CBD is everywhere these days, from specialty markets to your local grocery store.
Research shows it may be an effective treatment for inflammation, pain, anxiety, insomnia, depression, post-traumatic stress, and even autoimmune disease. But, not all CBD is created equal. Due to a lack of regulations, many CBD products on the market contain an undisclosed amount of THC, pesticides, metals, and other toxic additives.
Matt Lombardi and Kevin Moran, two professional athletes, join Dr. Friedman to share their stories on how CBD changed their lives and how getting the right quality product can change yours in this encore episode from October 2019.
Matt and Kevin break through all the confusion on CBD and answer your questions about the difference between CBD & cannabis, the legality of CBD, and the most effective ways to use it (tincture, cream, pills, infusers), and more.
