In this episode of "Let's Be Blunt with Montel," host Montel Williams sits down with Julie Mahia, CEO and founder of Holistic Hemp Solutions Inc. Julie's story is one of resilience and transformation, transitioning from a traditional medical background to becoming a pioneer in the cannabis industry.
Julie shares her journey, starting with her upbringing in Massachusetts and her educational background in cognitive neuroscience. Her path took a drastic turn in 2013 when she suffered a severe work-related injury, leading to a diagnosis of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and a long battle with ineffective and harmful traditional medications. Refusing to accept a life of chronic pain and disability, Julie explored cannabis as a treatment option, finding relief and a renewed sense of purpose.
Determined to help others, Julie immersed herself in the cannabis industry, moving to Oregon to learn about cultivation, processing, and the holistic benefits of cannabinoids. She founded Holistic Hemp Solutions, focusing on producing non-psychoactive, organic hemp products using cold processing techniques to preserve the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes.
Julie emphasizes the importance of safe, quality, and affordable access to cannabis products, especially for pediatric and chronic pain patients. Her advocacy extends to pediatric rights and diabetic patients, fighting for safe access and transparency in medication ingredients.
Despite the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated industry, Julie has persevered, earning international recognition for her products and advocacy efforts. She encourages others to do thorough research, seek alternative treatments, and remain hopeful in their health journeys.
