Description: My guest this week is Dr. Chloe Weber DACM, L.Ac, and CEO of Radical Roots In this episode, Dr. Chloe Weber tells us how she got her start in Chinese medicine and how she became infatuated with the inner workings of CBD in the brain and body. Chloe’s son was born with a rare genetic disorder and while trying to help him she found her own path in Chinese Medicine and created her company Radical Roots. Radical Roots Herbs is a blend of Chinese medicine and CBD. We talk about who is a good candidate for CBD, how to know which products to choose, and how the endocannabinoid system works. We also have an open conversation at the end about how recent mandates, lockdowns, and divisive messages have affected many people's mental and physical health.
