“Consider natural alternatives; your body wants to heal.” - Terri Long For years Terri Long suffered from chronic pain and fatigue that left her struggling to function in everyday life. She bounced from doctor to doctor before finally being given a fibromyalgia diagnosis. But even with the medication she received, she still felt horrible. Eventually, fed up with being stuck and believing her body could heal itself given the right circumstances and environment, Terri decided to take matters into her own hands. Her research started her natural healing journey and led to her discovery of the benefits of cannabis and hemp products. In 2017, Terri founded Hemplily with the mission of helping people get to rid of their pain and balance their minds and bodies. Today Terri is joining us to dispel a lot of the misinformation about hemp and CBD products. Since CBD hit the mainstream, tons of new products hit the market, and many bad players have come out with low-quality products sold under misleading labels. Unfortunately, that left many people with a negative impression of CBD. In this conversation, Terri and I talk about how hemp extracts have been integral on her healing journey, what you need to look for in a high-quality product, the pros and cons of different formats, how you can get started, and more. In my practice, I’ve prescribed it for issues like menstrual cramps, migraines, fibromyalgia, insomnia, and anxiety. I encourage you to be open to exploring natural alternatives and how the right hemp extracts could be helpful for you.   Highlights Terri’s fibromyalgia journey and the start of the natural wellness journey that led to Hemplily The critical distinction between hemp seed oil and plant extract How hemp extract is made The active components of full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate hemp extracts Understanding the different formats of hemp extracts How Hemplily Menopause Complex helps women with menopause symptoms What to do if you don’t see results while using hemp extracts Finding relief for period pain When to use a topical versus an internal format Federal and state laws around CBD and hemp products How to find the right product for your needs Cognitive benefits of functional mushrooms Getting started with Hemplily   Connect with Hemplily Website | Hemplily.com https://hemplily.com/ - use my code DRT for a discount on your first order!
