Welcome and thank you for joining us today I'm joined with Rick Anson, founder of CBD wellness and CBD brain IQ Rick How you doing?

Rick Anson: 00:00:57

Good Michelle, so glad to be here with you. I'm glad you're here

Michelle Abraham: 00:01:00

too. So we are talking about why CBD will change your life so I'm really excited to dive in because CBD is something I've been super interested in for the last few years but haven't learned a lot and you are the experts. Glad you're here today. Rick tell us a little bit about CBD like they you know maybe some people are some of our listeners maybe have heard a little bit about CBD or maybe THC or they've heard these acronyms. What it means what is CBD mean? Yeah, so

Rick Anson: 00:01:28

you know it's really important for people understand that there is some really good quality CBD out there in the world, right? That really has true health and wellness benefits and can really change your life. And like everything else out in the world, right? There's some really poor CBD and I call it gas station CBD right? You can't go to the gas station, fill up your car with gas, go in and buy a carton of milk and buy quality CBD that you think is going to change your life.

Michelle Abraham: 00:01:56

Right I see how that happens. It happens

Rick Anson: 00:01:59

a lot and you know that's one of the things that people you know, I'm you know, I'm from the US right I'm from Sun Valley Idaho, in the US about for about the last six years CBD has been legalized and the very beginning like say the first couple of years there was this you know, rush because it was promised to be like this holy grail, right? Like it cures everything. And of course that's not true. But over the last couple of years, they found you know, through studies now clinical studies and university studies that CBD if it's pure and it's quality, right has amazing health and wellness benefits for say anti stress it's an anti anxiety for depression and for pain and inflammation relief. Now you add just just those five things together it's an amazing product a CBD is amazing daily product you know it's safe because it contains most contains zero THC that's absolutely what you have to look for right safety first zero THC products products that have been tested through a third party laboratory so that you know you can and then those products that you're purchasing and using for you and your family and even your pets right you can see and you can we can prove to them that there's zero THC that there's no you know, herbicides or pesticides or metals found so it's safety first with zero THC with third party clinical testing and then you know, testimonials and just using the product on a daily basis to feel all those different benefits

Michelle Abraham: 00:03:38

that's amazing. So how do we know like so why don't we not deal with the dot one THC in there I thought THC was like a thing?

Rick Anson: 00:03:46

Well, depends on what part of the country world you're in. I guess

Michelle Abraham: 00:03:49

Canada face has been around for a while THC

Rick Anson: 00:03:51

is a thing in Canada. But you know, there's at the very beginning again, going back you know, the first couple of years right of CBD marketing out there by a few companies were making mass producing CBD, that it was much easier and less expensive to just keep some THC into the product. You know, because there's there's so important for me to understand that CBD comes from two different sources is derived from either hemp CBD, which is a hemp plant that contain CBD with zero THC. And then there's a cannabis CBD that's derived from a cannabis plant which is a THC plant. Obviously it has CBD but also has THC.

Michelle Abraham: 00:04:37

Okay, so only that plant has the THC

Rick Anson: 00:04:40

cannabis. CBD from a cannabis plant will have both CBD and THC and probably a bunch of other cannabinoids as well. CBD comes from a hemp plant is much more beneficial. And it contains, you know, only CBD or maybe some other cannabinoids but with zero th See?

Michelle Abraham: 00:05:00

Okay, so the health benefits are far greater in the hemp one versus the cannabis one. Okay. And so you use the word Canada, Canada, Canada. And so what exactly are the?

Rick Anson: 00:05:14

Well, it's so important, right? I spent over 10 years over a decade studying different cannabinoids and understanding, you know, really, I firmly believe, and millions of Americans, and I know millions of Canadians take CBD and every single day now for health and wellness, right? Like I said, for stress, anxiety, depression, mood support in a lot of really big one that's, you know, for pain and inflammation relief. If you can find a product that's natural, you know, I say, mother's metric, mother nature's gift to us, you know, because it comes from a plant is botanical, without any addiction to it or any toxicity to it, then you can you find the right product to help you with your pain on a daily basis, or your your just general wellness, it, that's a win. I mean, that's a huge life changing.

Michelle Abraham: 00:06:06

And so do people take the products on a daily basis? If they have symptoms already, or is it something they can take as a preventative measure?

Rick Anson: 00:06:14

Yeah, no, that's a great question. So we firmly believe that people should take you know, high quality pure, safe CBD on a daily basis. And then because we have through research now we found that we have every single human and every single animal has an endocannabinoid system. It's like our respiratory system, our skeletal muscle system, skeleton system. We have an endocannabinoid system and ECS. endocannabinoid system. And they've found now that the only way to nourish this endocannabinoid system is through plant cannabinoids. Like CBD. Oh, wow. And so you in that in our this ECS system regulates helps reg regulates our pain, or inflammation, or just it's a homeless homeostasis our general well being. And it's a proven system and our body animals have it we know all animals have it right. And so to take CBD on a daily basis, helps nourish that system. It also helps relieve daily pain and inflammation, stress anxiety, but also then helps you recover much quicker from everything.

Michelle Abraham: 00:07:28

So is if you have pain or anxiety or depression and or you're using his preventatively Is it the same amount of dosage that you use the same amount of product that you use on a daily basis?

Rick Anson: 00:07:39

Well, that's a great question, Michelle. And the answer is likely not likely no. Right. So on a daily basis as as like a multivitamin, right, I like to say that CBD is a plant vitamin, you know, because because it has the same, a lot of same properties as vitamins, and it comes from so if you want to take your plant vitamins, which everyone wants organic plant vitamins now, you should take approximately 30 to 50 milligrams a day for optimal health and wellness benefits, again, in maintaining a good overall wellness. If you have acute pain and inflammation, you should be taking approximately 100 to 150 milligrams a day, to help with that pain in the US. One out of three Americans take an aspirin every day. Oh my gosh, that's crazy. You're talking like 135 240 million people a day, take at least one aspirin to take a Tylenol, if you can, you know, which we know is not good for you has has issues with your liver. And you know, and you build up a toxicity to you know, those types of drugs

Michelle Abraham: 00:08:45

right? Over the counter virus or you know, can cause other things, you know, starting to use those.

Rick Anson: 00:08:50

Absolutely. So when you can take something like a quality CBD like we offer, right, that we produce we studied for over 10 years, and we prove as safe without any THC with all the other benefits. And you can take that daily, and but you can take that to help reduce that pain or inflammation, it makes you obviously feel much better, but also helps you recover quicker so you can get back in the game. Maybe you can work longer, maybe you know for me, you know and like you I have two children. I have a boy and a girl like you do. My daughter is a second year in college. Second year in college already. And my son is going into a senior in high school. I want to be as active as I possibly can be

Michelle Abraham: 00:09:34

right? Yeah, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And like our friend, Rob Floyd, he used it to get himself back running again when he had a knee injury. So it's interesting. There's all sorts of case studies showing up about the use of this and how it's how it's been really beneficial for people. So how do we know we're not getting the gas station? A brandy mentioned a few things to look for the safety and the quality of a third party validation and the testimonials is there somewhere written on the label somewhere so that we can be aware and make sure that we're not getting the gas station when yeah

Rick Anson: 00:10:03

so you know and this you know forced us and our pets right of course we give our pets the best quality food we can possibly give and nutrition and you know the same with the CBD for the pets because they have the same system as humans do. So it's really important to do some research, you know, like anything that you're going to be putting into your body that you're going to base health and wellness around for you your family and your opinion your your pets, is look, do some research, go to the website, make sure the products contain zero THC,

Michelle Abraham: 00:10:38

THC, okay, it's

Rick Anson: 00:10:39

not just, you know, most CBD products Well, there is a study that was conducted less than a month ago this is we're in July of 2020 to the 67% of all CBD label claims in the United States were misrepresented and had between five and 10% more THC than they then then the label claims 67%

Michelle Abraham: 00:11:06

Now why do we not want to teach the in our in our product?

Rick Anson: 00:11:10

Well really because if you if you or someone wants a full blown THC product right then they just want THC for helps them you know check out and you know wherever psychoactive they want to use it for that exactly I mean and that's you know that's that's that's their choice of medicine if you will, with CBD you do not need some people say oh this is synergistic and anything you not need any THC in a good quality CBD product because you're getting you're taking it for pain. You're taking it for inflammation you're taking it for stress or anxiety or a host of other wellness benefits you'll need a THC first of all second you don't want any THC in there for testing purposes. Yeah and for testing right like right Mike a lot

Michelle Abraham: 00:11:58

of jobs I will test for drugs and alcohol. I guess that would be an or driving I guess to you like when you're driving a car.

Rick Anson: 00:12:05

Yeah, I mean, my wife works for United Airlines, right. There's no way she could ever have any product that would have a THC for testing. We're working around airplanes. My dad was a long haul truck driver for 30 years. So proud of him for that's a hard life out there on the road. You know, obviously a truck driver can never have a THC type of

Michelle Abraham: 00:12:24

ads a school bus driver, that's why he's been afraid of like CBD products. Yeah. Because he doesn't know if what's it?

Rick Anson: 00:12:30

Well, there is absolutely top you know, the finest right? Pure safe CBD out there that will help change that no, it will change your life. And that's what we're talking about today right in the benefits and introduce me we you know, again, Michelle, I spent over a decade understanding the CBD and different cannabinoids, you mentioned her cannabinoids, CBD, THC are considered cannabinoids or plant compounds. Again, I refer to him as plant vitamins. And there's now been studied to be over 110 known, I'm sure it's gonna be more discovered cannabinoids found from either the hemp or the cannabis plant. And that's that's why it's so it's so amazing. We're living in an amazing time right now. It's like a revolution for us of understanding and of this, this booming of health and wellness around cannabinoids, whether it's CBD or CBG, or CBN, or CB V,

Michelle Abraham: 00:13:33

and understanding and heard about yet, it's

Rick Anson: 00:13:37

really going to be changing. I firmly believe in the future there'll be a cannabinoid that will cure like Ed or hair growth or will be, you know, there's several obviously being studied for cancers, for seizures. It's truly that's why people need to try it, and try it safe and pure product like like we have,

Michelle Abraham: 00:13:57

right and for our listeners, you know, you're not just someone that's been reading the studies and follow the studies. You're like the scientists with the white coat behind the scenes like actually creating the products which is fascinating. Yeah,

Rick Anson: 00:14:09

yeah, we've we've taken real science, real technology developed from the United States, FDA and in health, Canada's Health, you know, wellness and care providing systems and we've taken real research and clinicals. And we've combined that those studies and that research that technology with CBD, and created you know, really premium, the finest CBD products in the world with advanced absorption so you feel it quicker and you get more of the product. If you get a powerful and safe potent amount. It really changes your life. You can feel it within a few minutes. Also games zero THC, but it created these products for you know as a topical role on strike first ports in for pain and inflammation relief to premium triple filtered oil filters that have that you can see and taste the difference immediately right there sublingual absorption so they work fast in the body with a nano micelle technology to gourmet gummy bears to a product that I created and then over the last two years which is a clinical CBD brain IQ Wow. Which is 25 milligrams of CBD married with clinically proven nootropics for for focus for brain nutrition. For clarity, it helps with Alzheimer's you know, there's been states has shown help slow Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. By me it's really this creative flow of energy and cognitive function.

Michelle Abraham: 00:15:53

Yeah, so like way better than a cup of coffee. Or a cup of coffee. Yeah. I tried that last night and I had a bulging disc in my back from many years ago and injury and I had to say My back feels fantastic today. And so that's you know, that was just one dime rolling it on and so I can start to see like the power like using this over and over every day can be so beneficial.

Rick Anson: 00:16:16

Yeah, yeah, it really is. I mean, you know, if you have an acute pain or inflammation, you can try it right you know, relieve it, but really the benefits are long term on a daily basis at small amounts to to to keep yourself healthy to help, you know, feed that endocannabinoid system. You know, we've had 1000s and 1000s of people use 10s of 1000s of people use the royal lawns use of gummy bears. You know the gummy bears still are like 57% of the overall global sales of CBD or gummy bears Coors

Michelle Abraham: 00:16:51

they look so fun to eat they would say I would bet no, this is all safe for kids too by the way

Rick Anson: 00:17:00

when it's you know kids are like the gummy fish the finest CBD right it without the THC. 100% safe for kids? That's a great question people ask, well, how we've given I've known people have given giving their children their two years old, an oil tincture right underneath the tongue, because they know it's safe. They know it's good for them, it helps them you know with the endocannabinoid system, to you know, if you have, you know, my black lab, the Kona is four years old. The live people give their pets on a daily basis if they're older helps them with their joints. And and you know, the aches and pains and helps them recover and run a lot faster and quicker and help them jump and just more playful. After a really young puppy. It helps him relax the anxiety right and stop chewing all my wife shoes every single day.

Michelle Abraham: 00:17:55

Oh my gosh, yeah. And so did that also help kids with that same sort of calming of anxiety and see that such a big thing that the kids these days?

Rick Anson: 00:18:03

You know, initially right, there's a really good brand out there that was developed for kids around seizures, right and there's a story out there for a girl named Charlotte that they developed this for and that's the brand and this has been worldwide now for this these premium oil tinctures for children to help them with seizures and then the adults right and we've been we've taken those studies and that technology and just you know made our products better right with that technology in about six years with a field research now and technology for this advanced absorption this nano technology that works extremely quickly that safe and provides All these and more health benefits
