Jan 19 | 10 am-12 pm | Online
Register by Jan 15

Dr. Erin Merritt, Doctor of Pharmacy, will give us some of the real science behind the uses of CBD oil. We can then make an informed decision about whether to consider using it, rather than just stopping at one of the numerous places displaying CBD banners and giving it a try without understanding for what, or for whom, it may or may not be appropriate. As time permits she will also give us some of her thoughts on other natural and holistic alternatives available as we attempt to navigate our "golden years".
