On this week's episode, Iris & Ivette speak with Yvette Sanchez, co-owner of Your CBD Store, which she co-owns with her husband Jose. Iris, Ivette and Yvette discuss the misconceptions and the benefits from CBD-based products and the variety of ways that it helps people.

About Yvette Sanchez/ Jose Sanchez: Thirteen years ago, during the recovery journey from breast cancer, our exploration into the therapeutic benefits of CBD began. As advocates of holistic living, we naturally became consumers ourselves. When we discovered SUNMED | Your CBD Store, we were deeply impressed by the exceptional quality of their products and their commitment to plant-based, science-driven wellness. CBD was first introduced to us by our holistic practitioner, and it has since played a significant role in improving our physical and mental well-being, as well as that of our loved ones. Over time, we've become a trusted resource in our community for those seeking a holistic approach to health. We’ve created a safe, welcoming, and educational space where individuals can learn about the powerful benefits of CBD and take steps toward a healthier, more balanced life.
