How it all started...
My road to CBD started from necessity. At 36, I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis, which had gone un-diagnosed for some time. In August, 2017 I had a full lumbar laminectomy, at a ridiculous weight of 430 lbs.
After surgery, I was left with neuropathy from the mid-section down, and a mission to lose excess weight and improve quality of life. Like many, I started down the path with a pain specialist. Staying comfortable at this point required opiod painkillers, muscle relaxers, and a variety of other medications to relieve nerve pain. While this worked, ultimately it left me foggy, and with several undesired side effects.
In March, 2019 I became one of my state's few cannabis patients. Prior to this, CBD was a fad in my eye... I quickly discovered otherwise. After a week of continued use of tincture, I was seeing similar if not better relief than my previous stack of medication. I was able to perform better at the gym without as much downtime, and the fog from opiods and muscle relaxers was gone.
The relief I got was huge in attaining my personal goals. In the course of 2 years past my back surgery at 430 lbs, I was able to drop to my first goal of 260lbs, then my next goal of 230 lbs, and lastly my goal of getting below a 15% body fat.
The problem with goals, is you have to keep setting them. I realized that my personal health goal had been met, and was stuck on finding the next problem.
And then it hit me - the next problem impacting me, was the price of replacing opiods and muscle relaxers, with a natural medicine. And logically, if this problem was hitting me, it wasn't only me. I decided to form Can-Do Supplements, and commit to sourcing the limited tools that helped me, and make them available.
So, I started working. I worked to source quality CBD - at a price point of less than 50% of what I had been paying. Ultimately, my travels led me to the southern states, the hemp-land.
I'm happy to say, that I went the right path. I connected with partners that share the same standards as myself, and the same passion in their product. I was able to tour extraction facilities, check product standards from raw hemp to finished distillate, and ultimately form a relationship beneficial to the end goal.
And so it was born - "Can-Do CBD", the first of Can-Do Supplements' products. By offering broad spectrum tincture, at a 1000mg strength, I was able to drop the price over half of what I was paying, and able to sell at that price.
More products are soon coming - affordable tincture was the most important to get out first. For myself, I found this method to be the most effective delivery of CBD, so it made the most sense.
I plan to keep the Blog updated, and migrate my personal Keto / Weight loss blog over as well to one central location here. Check back for updated products - Flower, CBD, and Pre-Workout are on the horizon!
