The term cannabis carries a lot of negative connotations. When we talk of hemp, it’s not unnatural for some people to show skepticism even to this day. However, clinical studies have proved how cannabidiol or CBD works wonders for patients suffering from anxiety, insomnia, cognition, and movement disorders.

This week will be the start of “The Best of The Menopause Movement Podcast” series. For the next three weeks, we’ll be featuring some of the best podcast episodes since 2019.

Join me today as I re-release the 24th episode featuring Tina Williams, co-founder of Simple Optimum Health. We talk about how CBD prevented her from having another stroke, about how hemp can be a lifestyle product, and how it can help relieve pain and improve sleep. We also talk about how CBD can help with menopause.
