Science is defined as the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. Chemistry fits in as a science, but its goal is to simplify the complex. Chemistry is the core of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.

Chris Visco Of TerraVida joins us today on Concierge for Better Living to talk about her company and how she survived 2020 with her business. Once the news broke in April 2016, that medical cannabis had been signed into law in Pennsylvania, President of TerraVida, Chris Visco was approached by a colleague about the program. As the owner of a business consultant, marketing, and political strategy firm, Chris was invited to a meeting with a group of investors who were meeting to hear a pitch from a potential grow applicant. The investor pitch was significantly lacking in a strategic business plan, and Chris was asked to consult on the project. After further research, it was determined that this was not a viable business for this applicant. In a casual conversation with her current business partner, Adina Birnbaum, regarding the program, there was an immediate revelation; we could do this, on our own! Both Adina and Chris have been lifelong community advocates and understood the value of medical cannabis to a state's economy and to millions of patients nationwide. They had each watched as friends and loved ones had suffered from debilitating diseases where pain and suffering could have been greatly diminished with medical cannabis. In the blink of an eye, the women were off and running assembling a team of professionals to join them in their pursuit of a medical marijuana license in Pennsylvania. Pulling together a diverse team of highly qualified professionals was the easy part. What most people do not realize is that the process of applying was an extremely expensive process. The pursuit of investors, willing to lose their investment should a license not be awarded, was the challenge. Much of the pushback was that there were so many many "big money" people applying. The perception was that small business owners would have very little chance of winning. Because of their experience of running successful businesses, their years of retail experience and strategic business skills eventually gained the confidence of early investors. The Pennsylvania Department of Health's regulations were very restrictive regarding locations, extensive and extremely expensive security protocols, and the limited time to complete the application process was daunting.

These principles ground them and guide them forward to create the most efficacious hemp oil on the planet. Functional Remedies stand by the fact that all hemp products are not created equal because all hemp plants are not created equal. For over a decade they’ve cross-bred and cultivated agricultural hemp to yield the most nutrient-dense plants with the most potent & balanced blend of phytocompounds found anywhere. Direct from their own farm, these whole plants are transformed with our proprietary Lipid Infusion process that preserves the many beneficial nutrients (like terpenes and flavonoids) found in hemp. This unique process is more time consuming but far superior to CO2 and chemical processes that strip the nutrient content. Functional Remedies results are true, full-spectrum hemp oil that has been tested and verified to deliver over four times phytonutrients than competitive products.
