Navy SEAL Veteran’s Journey from Pain to Recovery Through CBD

After serving 26 years as a Navy SEAL, my body was beaten and broken. I had jumped out of airplanes, swam in shark-infested waters, and breached and cleared rooms full of deadly terrorists. You name it; I did it. It didn't matter what happened to my body; this is the Navy SEAL way, always complete the mission. Never quit. We expected every frogman to operate this way.

Mission Comes First — No Matter the Physical Cost

Operating with this frame of mind was the difference between life and death. So, when I got injured, I didn't say a word and kept going until the mission was complete. To make things worse, I avoided getting medical attention when possible because I didn't want to risk getting benched for the next mission. This way of thinking helped me collect a laundry list of injuries and surgeries. Enough to have doctors questioning me now on how I'm not in a wheelchair.

Life After Service: The Search for Natural Healing

After being honorably discharged from the Navy Seals, it was time to focus on repairing my body after two and a half decades of damage. I didn't know where to start, but there was one thing I knew I didn't want to take - prescription and over the counter pain medication.

Turning Away from Traditional Painkillers

I used to pop them like Tic Tacs when I was in the SEAL Teams, and the adverse effects on my body were getting too great for me to ignore. So, I searched for a better and more natural option to help me deal with the pain and fix my other health problems like chronic fatigue, insomnia, and migraines.

Discovering CBD: A Game-Changer for Recovery

At first, I couldn't find anything that could help me until a friend introduced me to Cannabidiol (CBD).

CBD Became My “Fountain of Youth”

CBD has helped me tremendously. I feel younger and healthier again without the adverse side effects of prescribed medications. CBD has been like my own version of the "fountain of youth."

The Problem with Most CBD Products on the Market

Toxic Ingredients and Poor Standards

Through multiple 3rd party tests, I discovered most CBD on the market was of poor quality — full of toxins, solvents, and heavy metals. Many companies didn’t seem to care about the consumer, just the profit.

Why Quality Is Non-Negotiable — A Navy SEAL’s Perspective

The SEAL Standard: QUALITY Above All Else

I believe you should never sacrifice quality. Because as I learned as a Navy SEAL, there was ONE thing that brought me home every time it was QUALITY!

The QUALITY of my training.
The QUALITY of the operator by my side.
The QUALITY of mission planning.
The QUALITY of our gear.
QUALITY was always the key to success.

Bringing SEAL-Standard CBD to Market

So, I went searching for Navy SEAL QUALITY CBD. After nearly hitting a dead end, I finally found a few suppliers who shared my standards. That led to the creation of Naked Warrior Recovery (NW Recovery) — my own line of CBD products.
