This company manufactures Natural Health Products to assist people and animals in living long and happy lives. Dr Lee has always been interested in health and medicine. He thought that, just like others, he would go to a conventional medical school. However, he truly desires to study nutrition, botanical medicine, and all other types of traditional medicine. The problem is that he doesn’t know the path towards it. Moving forward, Dr Lee met a person who introduced him the naturopathic medicine. Since then, he has continued to study the field of medicine he is interested in.

[8:30] How Does Mitochondria and Ketogenic Diet Relate To Each Other? Mitochondria is very heavily involved in the ketogenic diet, or the benefits of the ketogenic diet really heavily weigh on the mitochondria. There is a strong link between the benefits of the ketogenic diet and how it improves the functioning of the mitochondria. There are incredible success stories of people with Alzheimer's improving their condition by going on a ketogenic diet. Studies on the ketogenic diet and calorie restriction found that you can reverse type two diabetes. [18:15] Are Worried About Your Mitochondria? Get Physically Active and Take Care of It! A sedentary lifestyle has a huge negative impact on the mitochondria Being physically active is the greatest thing you can do for your mitochondria. You need to ensure that you feed your body with the nutrients it needs, but not in the way you introduce excessive calories. The more mitochondria you have, the better everything else works. [27:46] Dr Lee’s Excellent Journey in Building His Company, Cannanda Dr Lee has always been interested in studying the Endocannabinoid system's influence on health. The endocannabinoid system and the mitochondria are both related to homeostasis. Anytime something goes wrong in the body, the endocannabinoid system's job is to jump into action and start the processes needed to bring about healing or bring those processes back towards their balanced state. Medicinal use of cannabis was legalized in Canada, which allowed him to study more, and grew his interest in this field. Dr Lee realizes the need to create a more accessible and economical business for customers to buy. [33:53] How to Activate Endocannabinoid System to Regulate Our Nervous System? The two main components of the Endocannabinoid System are the cannabinoid compounds that our bodies make and the cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptors have two main types that are often talked about, and that is cannabinoid receptor type one or CB1, and cannabinoid receptor type two or CB2. When you use cannabis and THC, that activates the CB1 receptors, and that's what gets people high. CB2 brings a lot of health benefits when activated. The difference in CB1 is that you won’t be intoxicated. The Endocannabinoid system regulates the nervous system by sending inhibitory signals up the chain. [41:05] THC and CBD: What Is Their Difference and How It Affects The Benefits You Could Get? CBD actually doesn't activate CB1 or CB2 receptors. Unlike THC, which can activate both CB1 and CB2 receptors, when you get CB2 activated from using cannabis, it's actually coming from THC. The best type of product is what they call a full spectrum extract because the full spectrum will have the THC, and that's where the CB2 receptor activation and many of the health benefits will actually come from. Dr Lee’s product is a selective CB2 agonist or an activator. And that means it activates CB2 receptors without activating the CB1. Hence, you get all the health or physiological benefits of activating CB2 receptors but none of the intoxications that comes with CB1 activation. [47:44] Dog Anxiety: How to Safely Use Cannabis to Help Your Dog Every vertebrate mammal has an endocannabinoid system. Dr Lee has a product called Dog Ease CB2, their top seller on Amazon. Dog Ease CB2 have healthcare approval. People use Dog Ease CB2 for stress-related behavior in dogs, whether it's separation anxiety, thunders, or anything that makes a dog nervous. Cats also metabolize terpenes at a much slower rate than humans and dogs. The dose given to cats is a fraction of what the dog label says. AND MUCH MORE!
