#147 CBD

Everyone is talking about CBD. It’s exciting because it’s...weed...kind of? It feels a little illicit? But what is it really? It gets promoted as a miracle cure for everything, but is it even legal? Is it safe? Is it all just placebo effect? Daphnie and Joanna dig into the current research to try and clear the air.

#123 Shark Tank

Daphnie loves Shark Tank, the ABC show where small businesses pitch their products to investors. But when a listener sent us a link to a supplement that was one of the most funded in the show’s history, it led us to a place we did NOT expect. Are you ready for Just One More’s biggest twist ever? Plus, we ask Daphnie, “Would You Eat It?”
