Episode Date: April 28, 2020

Welcome to The Resetter Podcast, where Dr. Mindy interviews experts on everything to do with a fasting lifestyle and beyond!Sarah Polansky is the founder of Prismatic Plants. She combines CBD with adaptogenic herbs to create a synergistic blend to help lower inflammation and support your body's natural balance. In this podcast we cover: How to get out of the way of your body's healing ability How does CBD work? What specific ailments CBD can help with Picking a quality CBD  Try Prismatic Plant CBD Today.  

You put your whole self in, you take the excuses out, you let a topagy win while stem cells grow and sprout, you cleanse detox and couple balance hormones up yourself out. That's what resetting is all. Okay, resetters, in this episode of the Resetter podcast, I got to interview Sarah Polonski, who is the owner of Prismatic Plants. Now, here's what's really cool about this interview is that we dove in to all things CBD. So we talked about what does it look like to take CBD oil by itself? What does it look like?

Why would you want to take CBD with THC? And she has come up with a really cool concept, which is taking CBD with adaptogens. If you're not familiar with adaptogens, those are things are herbs that will bring your stress level down. So super fascinating conversation. I'm excited to share it with you. If you're curious about CBD, whether it's CBD oil, CBD cream, all things CBD, we talk about it on this episode. Resetters. So I am really excited to bring my next guest to you because this is a topic we have not discussed on this platform yet. If you're in my academy, I've talked about CBD. If you're one of my patients, you know I use it as a tool. But today we have have with us, Sarah Polanski. Welcome, Sarah. I just want to welcome you to our tribe and to this

platform. We are an ambitious group of people that are empowered about our health. So welcome. Hi. I'm so happy to be here. I'm excited to talk to you all today about what's going on with prismatic plants and just the cannabis industry in general. Yeah, awesome. So to give you guys just a little bit of a background and then Sarah, I really want you to tell it. But Sarah is like she said, Are you the founder of prismatic plants? I am. Okay, so she is the founder of prismatic plants. And what we're going to dive into today is CBD.

And what I find really intriguing about Sarah's products is she also combines them with herbs. So it's a little different twist on CBD that I'm excited to learn from as well. So why don't we start off with this, Sarah? Tell me how did you get into CBD? That, you know, everybody usually has their own personal journey with their parents. So how did you get into it? Yeah. So I would say probably six or seven years ago, I've, I had kind of a health crisis moment.

And even before that, throughout my 20s, I felt like my health was never super great. I'm someone that's been an allergy suffer my whole life. I kind of led to a lot of gut issues, food sensitivities. And then I was traveling for work in East Africa, actually doing some social impact work over there. And I got a parasite from contaminated water that led to getting overprescribed antibiotics to solve the cure or to fix the parasite. And from there, it basically just destroyed my ability to concentrate, my ability to concentrate, my ability to digest food, my ability to really, like, lead a normal life. And meanwhile, I'm trying to maintain a pretty high-stress consulting job.

So I really took it upon myself after seeing a lot of different doctors, both in kind of the natural medicine sphere as well as a more traditional medicine medicine and not really finding the answers that I needed to really take on research. what was happening with my body myself. And through that process, it was a combination of diet, you know, meditating, some other alternative practices, as well as a lot of plants and a lot of herbs to try to figure out how to bring my body back to balance.

And I know your audience is especially keen on this, but like food really is medicine. and all these different diets that people try out could really be the right or wrong thing for what's going on with your body. And just because one diet is working for somebody else and their health thing doesn't mean that diet works for you. And so, you know, through using food and through using plants, I just had a much greater understanding of, wow, you know, the world around us is so amazing and what it really often. offers us as humans being part of the system around us.

And I think we don't tap into that enough. And so I had the fortunate opportunity to kind of have, you know, this own journey I had been going through parallel path with a project I took on for work, which was researching the industry, the cannabis industry, and figuring out where that was going. And this was really before CBD was the big thing. It was really everyone was talking about THC and kind of what are the benefits there. And as I began to research it and research where things were going,

I saw CBD and I saw, oh, this is actually kind of more interesting to me because I think there's a lot of people out there that aren't comfortable with that psychoactivity that comes with THC, even though it has a lot of medicinal benefits. And that's where CBD could kind of play a larger role for a lot of people. And so just through my own kind of being my own guinea pig and trying these products, it was really amazing to all of a sudden see like, wow, I'm able to eat something and not get inflamed immediately afterwards. And that immediate benefit of starting to feel that was so profound.

for me that I said, wow, this is a plan I really need to pay attention to and learn more about. And then to kind of go a little bit further on that, at the same time, you know, being a person today in the modern working world, you're surrounded by other people that are facing similar health crises, right? That it's this inundation of stress constantly. and that leads to a variety of different issues for different people, but at the root of it is stress. It's this notion that we're stuck in this fight or flight response.

And so that's when I kind of had this like aha moment of saying, okay, well, I've been researching all these other herbs and trying to use these other herbs to help with stress. And then here's cannabis and specifically CBD, which is an, as strongly regulated as THC. And I might be able to figure out a way to combine these to really come up with a superpower formula to kind of help get people out of that stress state. And then that would allow their bodies to heal itself.

So that's really where the formulas came from. It's like not a band-aid to say, this is going to heal this thing for you, but more as a way to get out of your own body's way so it can start to. to heal it. I love that. Yeah, you know, we live in such an interesting time. I've been in practice for 24 years now. And when I was first in practice, I think as a culture, we were still very ingrained in, if I'm sick, I go to the doctor. Whatever the doctor tells me to do, I'll do. And I call that giving your power away. And here we are 24 years later, many people are saying, okay, I don't want drugs and surgery. That's not the option I'm looking for because it's not working.

but then you're left with, well, what should I do? And part of what I loved about your story is that a lot at that moment, most people are going to have to look back at themselves and realize they could be their own best doctor. And there should take their own health in control, which is what I heard you do. And then along those lines, and this is where I love the idea behind CBD, is this idea that the body heals itself. And so what tools do I have? nature offers some amazing tools that I have to tap into my own healing power.

So why don't you start off with explain like how does CBD work to just like if I, if I, you and I were standing in line together like I didn't know anything about it. How the heck does it work? Yeah. So we it's really interesting. We didn't learn about this system in our bodies until the 1970s is really when the research came out. But we have a system, and most mammalians have it. A few other species have it as well, but called the endocannabinoid system, right? Or ECS for short.

Yeah. And that's a system that is full of receptors, which essentially are looking for neurotransmitters to tell the body how to regulate itself, right? And these receptors, the kind of colloquial way that people are thinking of them is like a lock and key system, right? And so cannabinoids or from the cannabis plant phytocannabinoids,

meaning like plant-based cannabinoids, actually mimic our body's own cannabinoids that we produce, which are called endocannabinoids. And there's two main ones we do anandamide and AE2, I believe. Might need to double check that. And these cannabinoids kind of lock into our own receptors, and then they tell our body how to properly regulate itself. And what's interesting is, like, we have our CB1 receptors,

which are mostly in our head. And they go down a little bit towards the center of our body. And then our CB2 receptors, which are very strongly correlated to our immune system. And you'll have a lot of those in the gut. actually. Yeah. So what's interesting is that these phytocannabinoids from the cannabis plant or hemp is a type of cannabis, right?

They can kind of come in and when our body is not performing as well as it should naturally on its own, kind of help the body produce more endocannabinoids like CBD does or THC. or THC actually directly acts like one of our own endocannabinoids and acts as the key that goes in the lock, whereas CV2 is more kind of it helps that receptor accept more endocannabinoids or your body produce more endocannabinoids. So it doesn't actually go into the receptor itself, but it helps the body kind of function better by producing more endocannabinoids. So, you know, for some people, they might take CBD and say, I'm not feeling anything. This doesn't work for me.

And I think, well, what's probably happening there is your body's probably pretty well regulated. You might be somebody that's not depleted. And, you know, so then it might not be necessary for you to take a CBD product. But the unfortunate thing of today's life is that for most people, we're depleted through diet, through environmental stressors, through work-life stressors, and all these things can quickly throw our endocannabinoid system out of balance. So for a lot of people, they're seeing this like, wow, this is of huge benefit for me. But, of course, there's going to be some people that, like, hey, you have to be.

and your system's working great, you don't need it. Yeah. I just wrote down what depletes you. So you answered that, which is great. You know what's really funny? I was at a seminar like six years ago when the first time I heard about the endoc cannabinoid system. And I sat there in the seminar and I was like, wait a second.

Do you mean we have, we were made, our cells were made for cannabis? Oh my gosh. It just totally like opened my world and like helped me see how in tune with nature we truly are. And the fact that we make our own cannabis, you talked about that is so cool. And the fact that nature makes it shows you how helpful this can be. Yet we have really villainized marijuana. We've villainized CBD. And yet we're at a really cool time in medicine where people are starting to open up and

go back to the plant world and say, wait a second, but we were designed to live and to thrive with certain plants. So that, I think, is mind-blowing. If you're listening to this and you're like, no, I'm never going to do CBD. I'm not a pothead. I'm not a marijuana lover. It's so much bigger than that. Can you, yeah, can you talk a little bit maybe about marijuana versus hemp? And I know, I know that CBD can freak people out a little bit because they think that it's going to give them this psychedelic experience and it's not that at all. Sure. So cannabis is the species of plant and marijuana was kind of a term that was attributed to one type of

species of the cannabis plant that especially is THC heavy, right? And then you have another variety that is lower in THC and higher and naturally in CBD, and that's hemp. So they're both coming from the same family. It's just different strains and different cultivation of the same species that leads to these two different plants that produce one's more THC and one's more CBD. And so I think the other thing to call out there when you were just talking about, you know, the fact that cannabis and the phytocannabinoids closely match our own endocannabinoids is like cannabis is just one of the plants out there that produces phytocanaminoids. There's a whole variety, but they just happen to produce a lot of them very efficiently, hemp itself. I think the other interesting thing about it is it's such a lot of. a sustainable crop. And, you know, it really is, quote unquote, a weed in how it grows. It grows

very quickly. It doesn't need a lot of water. And so I think something else, not to sidetrack us, but that is particularly interesting to me is just, you know, we've marginalized this plant as a whole. And it's such a versatile plant, both in how we can use it for our bodies, but also how we can use it for the environment, like, you know, as an alternative to cotton and paper and on all these other things that for me as being a business owner working with hemp cultivators, I'm also so excited that I can feel relieved that I'm working with a plant that is actually you know, helping, helping the planet itself versus taking, taking, taking away.

Because I know, you know, for your community, too, you've got to be a conscious consumer. And, you know, there's a lot of things like that people want to stop buying just because they know that it takes a lot of water to cultivate it and things like that. So sorry to sidetrack us there. Yeah, no. No, I mean, I think that's such an important part of the health conversation is that there is not only do we want to tap into our own intelligence, but we do want to live responsibly with the environment because the environment gives us so many blessings for our own health. And one of my

missions is to really help people see just how powerful their body can be, but also how when you tap into your natural environment, like sunlight is an amazing tool for healing, that we want to take incredible care of all aspects of our environment so that the human species. can thrive. So I'm 100% in alignment with you there. So I can tell you in my clinic, I've used CBD for people having trouble sleeping, anxiety. It's worked incredible for anxiety. We've used it. We use a CBD cream for pain. What other like specific conditions do you see people benefiting from from CBD? I think overall the way that I've used CBD, is mostly attributed to kind of inflammation, right?

And inflammation, it's the root of all disease, right? So when you kind of take on a different mentality in how you approach health, which is very preventative versus waiting until something happens until you solve it, then when you start to deal with things that really help stop inflammation or prevent inflammation, then you're kind of really setting yourself up for longer-term health instead of constantly a yo-yo effect. So for me, I think CMD is really at the root of being very anti-inflammatory. But, you know, they've also shown it to be great for things

like aside from anxiety like nausea. It's really good for that. I think you know, we're obviously seen with certain neurological conditions, but it has big benefits there. So we know that it's being used quite successfully for children that are having a lot of seizures and things like that. But even from my own experience, knowing that our gut health is so related to our brain functioning capabilities, I've seen huge benefits. and taking this kind of product where it's soothing the gut

and then my ability to then focus and concentrate and actually function without the need of stimulants, like having to caffeinate all the time. And then you're going through those slumps of being wired and then tired and wired and tired. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So talk a little bit about how do you pick a good CBD because that's the other concern I have as somebody who detoxes heavy metals out of

thousands of people a year. I'm really concerned. I love the launching of the CBD world. I'm very concerned that people aren't getting a pure brand. And so talk about why you can really have a lot of heavy metals and other toxins in your CBD. Yeah. So like I was saying, as far as like hemp being a weed, it actually correlates pretty directly to this issue.

So hemp and cannabis in general, it's amazing at cleaning soil of everything, of toxins, of nutrients. It wants those things and it pulls it up into it. Actually, when they were dealing with kind of the nuclear waste over in Japan, they planted a lot of hemp to naturally clean the soil. Obviously, you don't want to eat that hemp afterwards, but the same is true for here. So if you're not planting in organic soil and following organic growing practices, then that hemp plant is probably going to be contaminated with things that you don't want it to be used, especially don't want pesticides used in the growing of that crop. Obviously, there's a lot of pesticides used in our food supply system. and we've kind of realized how much that is now affecting us as somebody that's eating the plant down the line. And the same is definitely true for hemp.

So I think, you know, you can find a variety of pricing out there for a product. And I think it's one thing to be conscious of is just like any supplement, you know, you'll have something that, you know, is a tenth of the cost and something that's a lot more expensive. and sometimes it's branding, but other times it is really quality. So I think it's important to do your research and find out, you know, how is this hemp grown? How is it tested for us? It was really important to find an organic cultivator. So they're not able to be certified yet because of USDA having to go through their regulation

with how they want to handle hemp. And so now cultivators can. start to get certified, but it's a bit of a process. But I know that our hemp is grown organically. And then throughout when we're manufacturing our product, we're actually doing multi-level steps testing throughout that formulation process to make sure that it's free of heavy metals. It's free of pesticides. It's free of mycotoxins. It's free of yeast and molds and, you know, just all these things that could affect us negatively. And knowing that in my own health journey as somebody that did have a heavy metals reading,

it was really important for me to say, where are these heavy metals coming from? And the last thing I want to be doing is taking something that I feel like is supposed to be making me feel better that's actually secretly poisoning me. So it was very important for us to do that due diligence, which is, you know, it's more expensive to do that. Yeah, I was going to say thank you for doing that. It's not an easy thing for a company to do. But I think there's a lot of companies out there that have that integrity. And, you know, when you're creating a product because you wanted to be a plant-based medicine, right? it's important to do that, right?

So just when you're looking at companies, I think kind of understanding what their intent, is there intent to be a plant-based medicine or is there intent to just churn out something that they see as a cash crop and make a dollar off of it? Yeah, and I think, again, I just want to point out to my audience

that how important it is that you find a good source. And, you know, this is one of the reasons we actually brought you on is we're like, okay, we're only going to bring on or talk to people who've already done their due diligence on the back end. And one of the ways you can find out is to email a company, right? You just say, what is your protocol for making sure there are no heavy metals in your product? Yeah, and along with that, any good company should have what's called a certificate of analysis or COA for short. And so when you email them, you can ask them, can I see your certificate of analysis? And that

would be a third-party lab report that they get back that shows all the testing and shows what pass or failed. And I mean, it should be all passes. There shouldn't be any fails. Yeah. So that's awesome. That's important to do. And so then does your CBD come from hemp? And can you talk a little bit about like why somebody might use CBD with THC and why would they just use CBD alone? And And then I really want to dive into because you've put some combinations of plants with the CBD that's really unique and exciting. Yeah. So we think it's really important to use what's called full spectrum. So there's full spectrum, broad spectrum, and then isolate.

Full spectrum means we don't strip out THC of the extract. We use what's naturally occurring in the plant. So then it's kind of on the cultivators to make sure that when they're growing the plant, that their growing conditions are producing below the federally allowed amount of THC, which is 0.3% by dry weight. So we like having the THC in there, and that's because it's we believe in the entourage effect, which is kind of this common industry term of saying, you know, cannabinoids really work best when they're together. And THC is a natural cannabinoid. And when it's in the right ratio, you're not going to feel the psychoactive effects,

but it's going to go back to the CB1 and CB2 receptors, it's going to act as that locking key in there a little bit when you need it to. And THC, again, it has a lot of medicinal benefits. And so why we're not giving it to you in the amounts that it would create psychoactivity is still having some health benefits in there. So we think it's important to have it in there. Broad spectrum is when you have kind of everything else but the THC removed. And so you're seeing that become a more popular option just because for other countries outside of the U.S. that haven't really figured out how they want to regulate things. Broad spectrum is an easier

extract to ship internationally, right? So you're not dealing with THC. And then you have isolate, which is CBD most of the time just by itself. I would highly recommend to your users to not use a product that's an isolate. I think for a broad spectrum, there might be some people that work in law enforcement or nursing or things like that where maybe they're getting tested for drug use. And so taking THC is frowned upon in that for their career. And so that might be a place where they would be more comfortable using broad spectrum. From what I've read, most full spectrum extracts because the THC is so low and the normal doses that someone would be taking that would not register on a drug test. But, you know, everyone has to do what's right for them. Yeah, we've had that

We deal with a lot of high performers, high performing athletes, CEOs that are drug tested. And many times they ask us about that. So that was awesome. So my guess, again, just to empower my community is if you were looking into it, you would want to ask, is it full spectrum, broad spectrum, or isolate? That was, that was an incredible. And so yours is full spectrum. And now here's my first question is, even though it's really low, is there any

possibility of feeling the psychoactive effects of it? Do you ever hear that from people? No, I've never heard that. I think the other thing that's important to know, which is, this is super interesting. For people that, let's say, you've taken a high THC product and you're feeling too much psychoactivity, you can actually take something that's very high in CBD to calm down that psychoactivity. Because that CBD will help block some of the THC from over stimulating those receptors that are creating that psychoactivity. So because these products are so dominant in CBD, you're not going to be feeling any of the psychoactivity. So it's like a ratio. So if THC goes up and you bring CBD up to match it. It kind of calms it all down.

That's really interesting. Okay, so talk about the other plants that you've combined because I think when I went to your website and checked out all the stuff you guys are doing, it is really unique. So talk a little bit about how you've combined other plants with the benefits of CBD. Yeah.

So we have a system in our body called the HPA access system, right? And what's interesting is that that system helps regulate our neuroendocrine system, our stress system, right? And like I was talking about the endocannabinoid system, that also works with that HPA access system. So traditionally when you look at Chinese medicine, there's kind of a group of herbs called adaptogens.

And for people that aren't familiar with what adaptogens are, for an herb be classified as an adaptogen, it has to kind of be this, I like to call it superpower herbs, because it has to help your, if your system is overfunctioning or underfunctioning, it works on both sides of that spectrum to bring that system back to balance. It also has to have a classification of doing your body no harm. So to go back to also to why this form is, it was trying to create something that was safe for most people to take. I don't want to say that nobody's going to have ill side effects from it because that's not correct.

But creating a formula that I felt like I was going to put out into the market where the known health side effects were very minimal. Again, I'm not a clinical herbalist. I'm somebody that worked with professionals to create this formula, but I'm not a clinical herbalists. And so looking at adaptogens and saying, wow, here are all these plants. And they've created their own mechanisms for survival due to kind of the harsh climates that they live in. And that in turn, by us ingesting these plants, it helps us fight our own internal stress. Like, how cool is that? So cool. So one of the plants that we have in our daytime, for instance,

rodeola is really interesting. It's generally grown in high altitude. climates. It's a great overall kind of stimulating adaptogen for vitality. But what's also interesting is if you're traveling to someplace where you're going to be at high altitude and you get high altitude sickness, you can take this plant up to two weeks in advance and then go there and it would really help you naturally deal with altitude sickness. So it's like, I think just the wonder of some of these plants is so great. So, um, For our daytime formula, which is called Good Day, we specifically picked out herbs that we wanted to help people kind of tune in, get focused, feel energized, but not have that jittery feeling. So we have some kind of more neotropic herbs like Bacopa is in there.

But then we also have things like Chisandra, which is just overall very nourishing to all of your, all of your. systems. White ginseng is also a little bit stimulating. But then when you combine it with our CBD and we have CBDA in there, which a lot of products don't feature, that starts to add a lot of that like calming background to it. So the whole goal for the formula was if you're somebody that goes through your day with kind of that endless to do list of jumping from one task to the next and just constantly feeling like you're scrambling and you're feeling that heightened up sensation in your body. How can we calm that down but allow you to still get things done and not have to, you know, add on the extra shot of espresso throughout the day to do that, right?

So that's our day time. Oh, I love that. That's me. I guess I'm like sitting here like taking notes. Okay, I'm going to order that. That sounds amazing. Okay, yeah, continue. I'm curious what else you have.

Sure. And then one other thing to add to our daytime formula is we added just a hair of essential oils in there, which is rosemary and lemon essential oil. These are both edible grade essential oils. And it's just enough because your olfactory system, you know, including like your mouth and obviously your sense of smell, that works so quickly to cross the blood brain barrier and have an immediate effect on your mood. And so by having those, it quickly kind of wakes up the brain, wakes up your sense of concentration so you can tune in.

So I think what's great about these formulas is, you know, I'm sure for a lot of your audience, sometimes when you're taking a supplement, it can take a couple weeks to really know, is this working? Am I feeling anything? And so for us, it was important. How do we create something for somebody that's not used to taking a lot of supplements is interested in the plant-based medicine world, but kind of needs proof of that product working more conveniently. So we have this combination of plants where there's things happening in there

that you're going to feel it right away. And then there's things happening there. The longer you take it, you're going to see some of the systemic benefit. Yeah, that's brilliant. Because, again, that's another component. complaint I get a lot on the CBD is I didn't notice anything. And I always say, you got to give it a good 30 days. You got to really give it some time because it'll build up in your body. So that's absolutely brilliant. And it's like a tincture, right? So you put it up your tongue and within an hour or so,

it'll be obviously different for everybody. Yeah. So that's something great to call out is, you know, a lot of supplements come in pill forms. And for us, it was really important to do it as a tincture. And that's not just because you're seeing a lot of CBDs as tinctures, but it was actually quite difficult to get all those adaptogenic herbs to work in a liquid-based formula with the hemp extract. And that's because hemp is a lipid soluble extract, meaning fat soluble. So it wants to live in an oil, but those herbs want to live in a water-soluble extract. But the reason that, you know, our formula is so unique is that, you know, we worked with highly specialized chemists and herbalists to figure out like, how can we combine this into one formula without having to have all these weird fillers and additives and thing, you know.

Yeah. I mean, for those of you that have taken liposomal products before, they can be effective, but they taste horrible. They're very bitter. And so I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how. to create this product without having to nanotize it and turn it into a liposomal formula. But yeah, so I think, you know, to kind of go full circle there, it was having that type of formula that you put under your tongue and talking to chemists that create pharmaceuticals.

They said sublingual application is actually a very effective way to get products into your bloodstream quickly. Yes. So we wanted to create something that wasn't a pill because that has to go through your digestive system and things get degraded then by your liver and your stomach acid. So by having it in your mouth and getting absorbed in those mucous glands in your mouth, you're going to feel it more quickly. So we like to recommend that people put a few drops underneath their tongue.

Actually, you could roll it around your gums. Your gums are very absorbent to get into your bloodstream. and then by doing that, you can feel the product, you know, probably within 10 to 15 minutes or so. Yeah, that's amazing. And is there anybody that shouldn't take the product? I assume you probably have that on the bottle. But anybody who would like go, you want to kind of stay away from this. Yeah.

I mean, I think we don't know enough yet for women, obviously, that are pregnant or breastfeeding, like most dietary supplements. So we kind of say, like, hey, check with your health provider. we recommend not taking that product. I think people that are taking a lot of prescription medications as well, I would encourage them to speak to their doctor to say, hey, do you know if there's any known interactions with, you know, cannabis and these prescriptions that I'm taking?

So I think those are kind of like the two main categories. I mean, obviously people under 18 that are still developing, even though we're saying, you know, there's nothing mandated that's saying if you're under 18, it's illegal to take it. But I think just knowing that there's things happening as you're growing that we don't know how Canada. We don't know enough. Yeah. Yeah, interacts with. So I would say, you know, people over 18, people that don't have any serious health conditions that are taking.

a lot of prescriptions. Like, I think those people can all kind of say, hey, let me try this product. But otherwise, if you have serious things going on, to definitely talk to your medical provider. Yeah, yeah. Well, this was awesome. And super enlightening for me. I really, we deal with so much anxiety in my clinic with between teens.

And then I deal with a lot of, like I said, high performers. I've got a lot of perimenopause, menopause women. and I just see anxiety. I see people's nervous system frazzled at a level that we have never seen before. And you talked about the blood brain barrier. Medication struggles to find the right compound to cross the blood brain barrier. But yet nature doesn't. And nature has provided us so many incredible tools to cross that barrier and calm us down.

So this was amazing. Let me ask you finish up with this question. And then I want to kind of point everybody in a direction of how to find your products. So we always say that in our community, we're on a mission to change the way that people view health and to give people the health their power back. What do you feel like your message for the world is? What do you feel like your mission with this product and your businesses? Yeah, thanks for asking that. I think for us it's really important to kind of take the cloak of mystery off the world of plant-based

medicine and to make it feel much more modern for people and just much more attainable. I think there's so much skepticism around plants and can they really help? Can they do all this? And I would really just say, like, our goal is to try to make people more familiar, more comfortable with plants. plant-based medicine and to know that they have the power to heal themselves and that something else isn't going to do it for you, but there's tools that you can use that can help give you and your body the confidence to kind of rebalance itself. Yeah, I love that. And I think if there's anything that's really come out of this emergence of so much, so many antibiotics and so much control,

of big pharma is that the people are waking up and they're saying no we don't want that anymore but like I started off with is where do we turn so your products like yours are incredible and thank you for going to all the detail to put all those things together because holy cow that cannot be an easy process so thank you for doing that and where can people find you like how do people dive into your products sure um you can find us on our website which is prismaticplants.com And on there, we just have two Hero products, which is a good day and good night. And they were really designed as really using the Yin Yang modality in Chinese medicine. So bringing you up during the day and calming you down at night to kind of really help that body feel energized and then rested.
