Helena Yardley

Helena has a dual Ph.D in Neuroscience and Integrative Physiology. 

She has spent the last decade on the front lines of cannabis research, from product development to organizing clinical studies to better understand the efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of action of cannabinoids. Because of her extensive experience in the industry, she had also been nominated to multiple State Boards in Colorado that aim to refine the way cannabis products are created, tested and sold: The Cannabis Science and Policy Workgroup, as well as the Cannabis Health & Safety Advisory Committee for the Colorado and the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment.

Helena has been instrumental in helping us understand potential growth in medical uses of CBD. Helena also founded Naturally Curious Consulting, which is a team of PhD level researchers who provide overviews of the emerging research.
