EPISODE 7: A to Z on CBD AND SUPPLEMENTS
With the legalization of recreational marijuana in 10 states and medical marijuana in 33 states, (not to mention the legalization of industrial hemp with the 2018 farm bill) Cannabis derivatives like CBD
can be found in most stores across the nation both orally and topically.
I liken it to the days when Coca cola contained cocaine in it in the 1800’s
What most consumers don’t know is the FDA considers CBD a drug
thanks to the the seizure drug epidiolex.
We’re lucky today thatDoctor Tod Cooperman of Consumerlab.com
joins us in the hot seat to spill the real tea on CBD!
He only happens to be the president of Consumerlab.com, a nationally recognized and respected researcher, writer and speaker on consumer healthcare issues, and a regular guest of the Dr. Oz Show.
We also discuss how 1 in 5 supplements don’t have what they claim, how coconut water can send you to the hospital, and how all cocoa is contaminated!
Just like skincare the supplement industry in the United States is self policing. The only way to know what you’re really getting is to look to companies like Consumer Lab who independently test the supplements to know what you’re getting. To learn more about CBD and supplements www.beautygps.com
FDA's OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON CBD can be found at
https://www.fda.gov/newsevents/publichealthfocus/ucm421168.htm#cosmetics

BEAUTY GPS RAW PART 2: THE TEA ON CBD
Part 2 of Beauty GPS- In the RAW with Doctor Tod Cooperman.
The FDA considers CBD technically illegal in food, drinks, and supplements despite the fact you see it nearly everywhere!
CBD is considered an active ingredient in a drug product under section 505 of the FD&C ACT UNLESS the substance was already marketed as a dietary supplement or conventional food before the new drug investigations were authorized in 1994.
The FDA will be holding its first discovery hearings on May 31st .
CBD in cosmetics must not make any therapeutic claims or it is in violation of the FD&C Act.

BEAUTY GPS RAW PART 1: ARE SUPPLEMENTS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE?
I’m excited to introduce Doctor Tod Cooperman, president of Consumerlab.com and a nationally recognized and respected researcher, writer and speaker on consumer healthcare issues. He’s also a regular guest on the Dr. Oz Show.
Today’s raw edit is part of a two part series on supplements and CBD- both very important topics that need to be discussed. It's the wild west when it comes to both because the FDA allows the industry to generally self regulate except when it comes to banned substances and medical claims.

Episode 4: DANGEROUS BEAUTY
It's the wild west when it comes to beauty treatments and illegal devices are ending up in the hands of licensed skincare professionals in an industry that is virtually self regulated. Consumers on realself.com
In this fourth edition of BEAUTY GPS - IN THE HOT SEAT WITH MARY SCHOOK
Annette Hanson discusses how these devices ended up in spas and skin clinics.
Spas have never been under more pressure to give the public results at any cost,
but a growing number of devices used in spas are NOT cleared by the FDA and people are getting permanently damaged by estheticians who are practicing outside of their licenses and are embarrassed or afraid to report it.
Incidences at spas can happen at any time, but it's time to educate the consumer on services being self regulated by the industry before to help prevent skincare casualties.
Annette Hanson, founder of Atelier Esthetique Insititute, was instrumental in writing the curriculum for the New York state esthetics license and is heavily di…

BEAUTY GPS RAW: DANGEROUS BEAUTY WITH ANNETTE HANSON
Today, Skincare Industry Icon Annette Hanson is in the HOT SEAT
to talk about spas and skin clinics that advertise high-tech procedures
using illegal medical devices.
Spas have never been under more pressure to give the public results at any cost, and a growing number of devices that are NOT cleared by the FDA are being performed out of the scope of the skincare pro’s license.
The Times reported as far back as 2011 that personal injury from non-physician operators had risen by 78%.
In my own practice consumers with severe or permanent damage are being sent to me on a weekly basis by doctors, dermatologists, and agents since I’m notorious for helping to calm the situation.
Incidences at spas can happen at any time, but permanent damage is not only physically scarring, but emotionally scarring to the consumer.
From what I gather most consumers are afraid or embarrassed to report their permanent damage as a result of these illegal services and equipment.
These services are eve…

BEAUTY GPS RAW- ALISON RAFFAELE- BUILDING A BEAUTY BRAND
We’re back again with a third edition of Beauty GPS- In The RAW.
This interview didn’t quite take the direction I had first intended with our guest expert Alison Raffaele- a former high fashion makeup artist turned makeup line mogul turned Estée Lauder Global Color Product Development Consultant.
I originally brought Alison on to talk about self care and to share that Matrix Movie moment where she has to decide whether to take the red pill or the blue one.
Alison chose to close a namesake makeup linethat was making millions of dollars
and the reasons to end it all are not what you think. This insider information is way too important for people thinking about starting a beauty line to not hear.
