Fibroids and CBD – Episode 62
CBD, women’s health and sharing her personal journey of natural healing are Suzy Ohannessian’s passions and mission. Suzy joins Max and Steven to talk about her experiences suffering from uterine fibroids which led to her discovery of CBD as an effective solution. Using CBD oil sublingually not only helped shrink her fibroids but also made some of them disappear (undetectable via ultrasound), much to the surprise of her doctors who were not exactly supportive of Suzy’s alternative approach. However, Suzy not only found relief, she found her voice as an advocate for women struggling with uterine fibroids and other health issues. Suzy, a lifelong dancer, also noticed that her consistent use of CBD alleviated the aches and pains that she had come to accept as “normal” wear and tear on her body. Suzy now gives talks about women’s health, cbd and cannabis all over the world, on Clubhouse and of course- on Understanding CBD with Max & Steven. We also get a special Maryland Legislative update from Luke Jones and talk about some special people during our Mail Sack segment.

He even breaks down common but confusing cbd terminology. If you’ve ever wanted to know the difference between full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate or wondered about cannabinoids, terpenes and phytochemicals or asked yourself if hemp seeds are the same as hemp cbd oil, this is the episode for you. In Doc G’s corner, Dr. Ben Gonzalez tackles the topic of functional medicine, how the body’s systems all work together and the concept of healing disease via the endocannabinoid system rather than continuously medicating one condition in isolation from other diseases concurrently existing in the body. The latter approach results in patients finding themselves on multiple prescriptions while still being sick. He explains the power of our endocannabinoid receptors for harnessing the healing benefits of cbd oil for holistic, multi-systemic healing and improving overall health by feeding the endocannabinoid system which for most people is deficient. And in the mail sack section, we hear from a customer in Colorado who was curious about cbd for pain. He asks about drug testing, topical and sublingual use of cbd oil and asks about how to assure product quality. Be sure to listen to learn more!
