She shares her personal experience overcoming lupus and Crohn’s disease through natural remedies. 🔑 Key Themes & Highlights Understanding CBD & Its Benefits Every mammal has an endocannabinoid system with CB1 and CB2 receptors that regulate neurological and immune functions. CBD products help create balance (homeostasis) in the body, improving heart, kidney, liver, and digestive functions. Top Reasons People Seek CBD Sleep Issues & Anxiety – Many customers struggle with post-pandemic insomnia and high stress. Pain Management – Whether from sports injuries, chronic conditions, or muscle strains, CBD offers natural relief. Autoimmune Disorders & CBD Shiloh personally overcame lupus and Crohn’s disease without steroids or medication. CBD helps calm the immune system, reducing inflammation and preventing the body from attacking itself. Different CBD formats—oils, gummies, and edibles—support various conditions depending on where the inflammation occurs. CBD vs. Common Misconceptions CBD ≠ Weed – While CBD comes from cannabis, THC-free products exist, allowing users to experience benefits without feeling high. Many professionals, including military personnel, firefighters, and police officers, use CBD to manage stress safely. Products available include gummies, chocolates, topicals, and drinks, catering to different needs. Family-Friendly CBD & THC Options Level Minds CBD offers a THC-free “family & professional” line that’s safe for kids and pets. For those seeking a mild calming effect, low-dose THC drinks help relieve stress without alcohol-like side effects. Many customers have quit alcohol entirely, preferring CBD for relaxation and emotional balance. Entrepreneurship & Passion for Wellness Shiloh’s business started as a pain and wellness therapy spa before expanding into CBD. She built her company on word-of-mouth marketing, prioritizing education, personal connections, and community trust. She believes passion drives success, emphasizing that true dedication leads to financial rewards. 📘 Resources & Contact InformationShiloh Biglis’ products are available through:🔗 Website: Level Minds CBD🔗 Phone: (678) 765-2228🔗 Social Media: @LevelMindsCBD #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
