With the newest trend in natural medicine taking root in Florida, Sarasota’s original CBD company, Mindful Medicinals, is proudly offering pure, top-quality CBD with 3rd party lab tests to prove it. Though Mindful Medicinals has been offering CBD products locally and online since 2016, they’ve opened their first brick and mortar right in the heart of Sarasota, just off Tamiami Trail.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is the chemical compound found in cannabis that acts as a strong anti-inflammatory, neuroprotectant, antidepressant and natural pain reliever. Unlike THC, another prominent cannabinoid, CBD has no psychoactive side effects; no high. Doctors and patients in the U.S. and far beyond have turned to CBD and other cannabinoids to treat neurological disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, PTSD, epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder. Patients on pharmaceutical pain relievers are finding CBD to be more effective with no side effects. Unfortunately, with all the potential benefits of CBD, the market has begun to get murky with so many options for hemp-derived relief. Enter, Sarasota’s Mindful Medicinals Integrated Health & Wellness.
“We noticed that too many of the products on the market were just hemp oil that contained CBD but not pure CBD isolate,” explains Mindful Medicinals’ Chief Executive Officer, Angela Mynatt. Mindful Medicinals prides itself on being one of the first CBD companies testing in Florida at EvioLabs and openly sharing their results on their website, mindfulmedicinalssrq.com, and in-store. In the fall of 2016, Angela first discovered the benefits of CBD while looking for natural pain relief after suffering severe damage to her vertebrae. After some intense research and a trip out to Colorado, she was able to find a source for pure CBD isolate. With the knowledge she gained in her quest for pure, natural medicine, Angela went to work bringing the power of CBD to the people that needed it most.
A local yoga instructor for more than a decade, Angela, along with Vice President of Operations, Patrick Loughrey have made sure to maintain the quality and purity of their CBD. “We have one source, right here in the U.S. that we’ve had since day one. We test every batch, every time. Our average CBD isolate purity is above 98.8%.”“One of my favorite things is our infused catering,” says Patrick, a classically trained chef who, along with Angela, spent his college years in professional high-volume kitchens. “We’ve had some pretty amazing results with some truly inspired meals.” They work closely with their clients to curate the perfect menu with the right amount of medicine. Infused catering is becoming popular in states with medical and recreational marijuana laws and Florida is no different.
With CBD edibles (including gluten-free options from Sarasota’s Glenn Family Bakery), topicals, tinctures, vape options and new Nano Emulsified Drops, Mindful Medicinals has CBD modalities for everyone. As Sarasota’s trusted source for pure CBD, these native Sarasotans are on-site and online to answer any questions customers may have. “We don’t just sell CBD, we educate and help our customers feel safe and confident handling their own pain management and getting their life back.”
