Did you know there's an entire system in your body that most medical schools never teach about yet it impacts sleep, pain, mood and recovery, and CBD may just be the key to unlocking it. Welcome back to the FAKTR Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Riddle and today we're kicking off a new two part deep dive on hemp in health care, clinical applications for better patient outcomes. Today's special guest instructor is Dr. Clint Sellers, a certified chiropractic sports physician and the owner of Peak Performance Chiropractic in Raleigh, North Carolina. In part one, you'll discover the surprising history of hemp, the science of cannabinoids, and why most of us are unknowingly cannabinoid deficient. Dr. Sellars will break down the differences between hemp and marijuana, the Entourage effect and how the endocannabinoid system quietly influences everything from pain to to mood to sleep.

Whether you're curious about CBD or are ready to integrate it into your practice, this episode will give you the foundation that you need. Let's get started.

Thank you, Jessica. Like she said, we're here to talk about hemp and Healthcare. I'm Dr. Clint Sellers. I'm a certified chiropractic sports physician and I own Peak Performance Chiropractic out in Raleigh, North Carolina. For anybody that wants to get a hold of me. Like Jessica said, I've posted my social media contacts here and my personal email. Feel free to reach out to me after this offline with any questions that you might have.

What we're really going to jump into today, we'll do a little hemp overview, hemp 101, talking about the endocannabinoid system and some of the cannabinoids, and then really how to gauge quality brands and quality products and how to do that easily within the landscape that we're in. Then we can talk about some common patient needs and dosing, which tends to be really probably the number one question that I get from, from patients or friends and other practitioners. Dosing can be pretty, pretty tough. So we'll, we'll definitely cover that as much as we can. We won't get into really any specific patient stuff today. So just disclaimer like this isn't, this isn't designed to really give out direct medical advice today. It's more of an overview where we're at in the industry and what are the potential uses. The CBD industry is, it's really ever evolving.
