In this episode of Wellness Focused, Dr. Bismah Irfan dives deep into a growing question among patients and wellness enthusiasts alike — Is CBD safe for your kidneys?
Dr. Irfan explains how the kidneys have their own endocannabinoid system (with CB1 and CB2 receptors) that helps regulate inflammation and blood flow — and why this same system can become a problem when overactivated, especially in people with diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome.
You’ll learn the key differences between CBD and THC, why product quality and purity are non-negotiable, and how metabolic context determines whether CBD could help or harm.
Dr. Irfan also shares how she uses pharmaceutical-grade hemp extracts selectively in her clinical practice, the dangers of synthetic cannabinoids like K2 and Spice, and why root-cause medicine—addressing blood sugar, gut health, stress, and toxins—always comes first.
If you’ve ever considered using CBD for pain, inflammation, or sleep support, this episode is a must-listen before you buy another bottle online.
