In this episode, I talk to Dr. Jim Collins about the benefits of CBD oil and why you may want to add it to your wellness plan. We talk about the benefits of CBD oil for menopausal symptoms, energy, mood, addictions, pets and sleep among other things. We also discussed why full spectrum CBD is important and why you want to look for high quality, third party testing, which is so important for any supplements, powders or vitamins you use. If you want more detail about why using CBD oil is helpful, especially for aging and longevity, check out Dr. Collins' book, Living Longer and Stronger with CBD.
