The Power of Holistic Wellness—My Journey to 55plus CBD
I never imagined I would be here—writing about holistic wellness and the power of natural remedies. My journey to founding 55plus CBD wasn’t just about starting a business; it was about finding a solution, not just for myself but for an entire generation seeking better ways to age with vitality.
Like so many others, I spent years following conventional wisdom on health. I took the prescribed medications, followed the standard diet recommendations, and assumed that aches, stress, and poor sleep were just part of getting older. But deep down, I knew there had to be another way.
A Personal Awakening in Wellness
My real introduction to holistic wellness came when I started experiencing chronic inflammation and restless nights. The cycle was exhausting—try one solution, deal with the side effects, try another. I wasn’t alone. According to the National Poll on Healthy Aging, over half of adults aged 50-80 deal with chronic pain, and over 40% struggle with sleep issues [Source] [Source].
When I first explored natural alternatives, I was skeptical. CBD was still controversial in many circles, and like many in my generation, I had grown up with a very different perception of cannabis. But the science was undeniable. The Journal of Clinical Medicine has published research highlighting CBD’s potential to reduce inflammation, support sleep, and help with stress management—all critical for aging well [Source].
After trying CBD for myself, I noticed subtle but powerful changes. My joints felt less stiff, I was sleeping more soundly, and, most importantly, I felt in control of my health. That’s when I knew—this wasn’t just about me. It was about creating access to safe, high-quality CBD products specifically designed for older adults like me.
The Wellness Revolution in the 55+ Community
Holistic wellness is no longer just a trend—it’s a movement, and older adults are leading the way. The natural products industry has seen a surge in demand from consumers over 55, particularly for functional supplements that support sleep, cognition, and mobility.
What’s driving this shift? It’s simple: traditional healthcare often treats symptoms rather than root causes. Our generation is redefining aging, demanding options that support longevity, not just longevity with limitations. We’re choosing plant-based remedies, prioritizing gut health, and seeking out functional foods and supplements that allow us to stay active, engaged, and thriving.
Why 55plus CBD Exists
I founded 55plus CBD because I believe older adults deserve products tailored to their needs—formulated with precision, third-party tested, and backed by education. It’s not just about selling CBD; it’s about empowering people with knowledge. From our Everyday Wellness Bundle, which supports balance and focus, to our Recovery Softgels that help with inflammation after a long day, every product is designed with one goal: to help our customers feel their best.
But beyond the products, my mission is to foster a conversation around holistic wellness. I want to help shift the narrative from “managing aging” to optimizing aging. That means embracing tools like CBD, yes, but also understanding how lifestyle, diet, and movement all play a role.

The Future of Holistic Aging
As we move forward, the connection between plant medicine and longevity is only growing stronger. Cutting-edge research is exploring how cannabinoids interact with our endocannabinoid system to promote homeostasis and well-being. The rise of nutraceuticals, which blend nutrition and pharmaceuticals, is paving the way for a future where aging well isn’t just possible—it’s expected.
Over the next year in this column, I’ll be exploring the latest science, trends, and personal insights around aging and holistic health. I’ll share what I’ve learned through this journey—what works, what’s hype, and where the industry is headed.
For those on a similar path, know this: You are not alone. Holistic wellness isn’t about rejecting modern medicine—it’s about integrating the best of science and nature to create a future where we feel empowered, not limited, by age.
Let’s build that future together.
