Hi there-

I’ve spoken to a few of our physicians about the use of CBD oil. All said they thought it could be very promising for some individuals, but the cost is a true deterrent at the level of real therapeutic value for brain health concerns. And unfortunately, many products claiming CBD content are not honest about what is actually inside.

There is ongoing research about its effectiveness in pain, certain seizure disorders, and anxiety, though more rigorous trials are needed. I would encourage you to speak with one of our functional medicine doctors or an integrative physician to find out if it’s right for you given your personal health history and wellness goals.

Best! -Zoe
