Solving Sleep Issues with CBD and Other Perimenopause Symptom Solutions

Jun 20, 2025

Solving sleep issues may have just gotten easier with today’s guest sharing her personal experience with CBD to help with Perimenopause Symptoms. 

My guest today is a Flipping 50 community member who listened to a podcast and decided herself to try CBD when nothing she had been doing was working. 

 

My Guest:

Laura Scott is a former banker and corporate trainer who left the business world and dedicated her time raising her children. Over the past four years she cared for her parents as they rapidly declined at the same time perimenopause came knocking at her door. As her symptoms increased, she was deeply saddened and angered by the hopeless messaging around here that aging is a curse. 

Laura researched, overhauled her diet and healed many of her symptoms through nutrition. She knew she needed sleep to take her healing further and discovered Blue Sky CBD through the Flipping 50 podcast. She combined Blue Sky CBD with the sleep strategies to restore her sleep and live her days well.
