Physician Selected CBD Hemp Oil | Dr. Pete Gemelli HGP#36

CBD, also known as hemp oil, is a hot topic right now and often comes with a negative stigma. This episode is here to give you all you need and want to know about CBD. CBD is a compound of the hemp plant that has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, neuro-protectant qualities, and healing properties.

My guest this week is Dr. Pete Gemelli, a Physiatrist who works with pain patients who deal with chronic and acute pain. Due to the rise of opioid overuse and abuse, Dr. Gemelli wanted something that wasn’t a narcotic that he could prescribe to pain patients. Dr. Gemelli set out on a mission to find an alternative and after months of research he decided to consider CBD as an alternative.

One of the first challenges he faced was finding a product that was clean and pure where he knew what was in it. Ultimately this led him to create Physician Selected: a broad spectrum, high quality hemp oil that contains very minimal THC, offering users the peace of mind of a safe product that isn’t harmful.

In this podcast episode we:

  • Break down the common misconceptions of CBD products
  • Share how CBD is different from THC/Marijuana.

We learn:

  • Why Dr. Gemelli created his own product and started prescribing it to his patients.
  • How his product is made, or the extraction and filtering process.
  • How it’s different from other products on the market.
  • Is cannabis medicine safe?
  • Proper dosage (because let’s face it, that’s really important when you’re taking a new product).
  • Health benefits.
