Episode 110 - Hemp in Healthcare: The Science Behind CBD with Dr. Clint Sellers, Part 1

Hemp in Healthcare, Part 1: The Science Behind CBD with Dr. Clint Sellers

What if you could address pain, sleep, mood, and recovery with one natural, evidence-based tool that’s been used for over 8,000 years?

In this first episode of a two-part series, host Jessica Riddle sits down with Dr. Clint Sellers, certified chiropractic sports physician and owner of Peak Performance Chiropractic in Raleigh, NC, for a deep dive into the science of hemp and CBD. From breaking down myths to explaining how the endocannabinoid system works, Dr. Sellers delivers a masterclass in what every clinician should know before recommending these products.


💡 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

  • The 8,000-year history of hemp in medicine — and why it disappeared from mainstream care.

  • The difference between hemp and marijuana (and why THC content matters).

  • How the endocannabinoid system regulates pain, mood, and recovery — and why most people are deficient.

  • What the “entourage effect” is and how it changes clinical outcomes.

  • Why patients may need to “ramp up” their receptors before seeing CBD’s full benefits.

    This episode lays the groundwork for safe, effective, and science-based use of CBD in clinical practice. Be sure to catch Part 2, where we cover product quality, dosing, and real-world patient results.
