Working With Nature - Episode 1 - Mary Biles

Here at CBD One Towers we have a very popular health advice page in our ‘Info’ section on the website. This is where anyone can get in touch with me, your friendly neighbourhood osteopath, for free support and advice on health problems. 

Combined with this I also do a live hour on Facebook most Wednesday evenings at 9pm on the Shinny Show Live where I answer questions and tackle all manner of health topics. 

With both these initiatives proving to be very popular we decided we would broaden our scope to allow us to go into far more detail.

So, we setup a podcast called ‘Working With Nature’

Rather than stick to matters to do with our bodily health we decided to expand our horizons by looking at all things to do with health such as our environment, our community health, the health of our democracies , global health and indeed all things natural. 

The format is quite simple, I interview someone who has some expertise in a particular field. We have lined up all manner of people from world famous athletes to GPs, osteopaths, nutritionists, yoga teachers, cannabis experts, breastfeeding experts and a whole host of other fascinating and knowledgeable people.

This is a journey of discovery to help us all find a better, healthier way to be and aims to allow us to reconnect with the natural rhythms of life rather than see nature as separate from us all.

In my work as an osteopath I get to listen to people’s life stories and find that everyone always has interesting and often remarkable tales to tell. This leads to a joyous job where I have learnt so much about life and people.

The podcast allows me to expand this experience so that we can now share lots of interesting stories and lots of great information and advice.

In my first interview I spoke with Mary Biles. She is a renowned cannabis journalist with an ear close to the ground on the latest developments on all things cannabis and CBD.

She has written "The CBD Book: The Essential Guide To CBD Oil" which was published this year by Harper Collins. In this Mary helps readers navigate the often tricky world of CBD products and also refers to various scientific studies too. If you are unsure where to begin with cannabis then this is as good a place to start as any.

In the interview process I like to start by discussing the life of my subject and we begin with Mary talking about where she was brought up and what she wanted to be when she grew up.

Mary takes us through her early years towards how she stumbled across the fascinating world of cannabis through the experiences of a friend’s mother suffering from cancer.

This very quickly led to a change of direction in her life with Mary becoming a determined and passionate writer and advocate for the many positive benefits of cannabis and CBD.

Mary is on the frontline of the drive to remove the stigma of cannabis that was and is used to tarnish people’s views on this miracle plant.
