Perimenopause is a multi-system shift happening across hormones, brain chemistry, nervous system, and metabolism all at once.
And for many women, it doesnât arrive loudly.â¨It builds, then suddenly everything feels different:
Sleep gets lighter or fragmented.â¨Mood feels less predictable.â¨Stress hits deeper than it used to.â¨Inflammation shows up in new ways.â¨Energy, focus, and body temperature start to fluctuate.
Underneath all of this is one core driver: hormonal variability, especially shifts in estrogen and progesterone; which ripple through nearly every regulatory system in the body.
And one of the most overlooked systems involved here is the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
The ECS is a master regulatory network that helps maintain balance in:
⢠Sleep-wake cyclesâ¨â˘ Mood & emotional regulationâ¨â˘ Stress responseâ¨â˘ Inflammatory signalingâ¨â˘ Pain perceptionâ¨â˘ Temperature control
Itâs constantly working in the background to bring the body back toward equilibrium.
What makes this especially relevant during perimenopause is that the ECS is closely linked with estrogen signaling: meaning when hormones fluctuate, ECS activity may shift too.
This is part of why symptoms rarely show up in isolation.
Sleep affects mood.â¨Mood affects stress.â¨Stress affects inflammation.â¨Everything is communicating.
This is where CBD is being studied as a supportive compound.
CBD interacts with the body including pathways involved in serotonin, GABA, and stress regulation, while indirectly engaging the ECS.
And in full-spectrum h**p extracts, additional cannabinoids + plant compounds may work synergistically (often called the âentourage effectâ) as support for regulation.
For some, that may feel like deeper sleep.â¨For others, a calmer stress response.â¨For others, less physical tension or inflammation.
The goal isnât to rush the transition.â¨Itâs to support the body through it.

Burnout culture has you thinking âoverstimulated, overworked, keep pushingâ is normal.
Ryan was right there: loud office, nonstop pressure, brain in 12 tabs at once.
No clarity. No grounding. Just noise.
He took one Grounded gummy.
And instead of forcing more willpower, something actually shifted:�less mental clutter, more presence, steady focus without the crash.
Not a reset button.�A way back.
đż GROUNDED by is designed to help support calm focus and a regulated nervous system when life gets loud.
If your days feel like too much input and not enough you, this is for you.
đ Try GROUNDED now and get back to your roots.
We created an ad for our Grounded gummy and sent it out to our team before launch because we already knew what it was going to do. đż
Not just because the visuals are beautiful or the product is powerful but because every second of it carries the intention, energy, and purpose weâve been building toward from the very beginning. ( and because carries immense talent in his craft đ)
This wasnât created overnight.
It came from years of vision, community, healing, conversations, setbacks, growth, and believing in something bigger than ourselves. Every formula, every shoot, every story we tell is rooted in connection.
to plants, to people, and to the feeling of coming home to yourself.
And watching the reactions come in reminded us of something important:
Where energy flows, results show.
When something is created with real intention, people feel it. You canât fake alignment. You canât fake purpose. And you definitely canât fake community.
Grounded is more than a gummy to us. It represents everything we believe wellness should feel like intentional, calming, energizing, honest, and deeply rooted.
Weâre so excited for the world to finally see what weâve been pouring our hearts into. đą
Follow along as we continue building something rooted in plants, science, healing, and community. More is coming. đ¤
Sometimes the best wellness products come from personal experience. đż
âI was too, and that is why I started Botany Scientifics. Itâs in the h**p space as well, so I knew there had to be a better way to approach wellness, education, and transparency in this industry.â
That mission led to the creation of Grounded, our functional mushroom + CBD gummy designed to support focus, calm, natural energy, and nervous system balance without overstimulation.
Every ingredient in Grounded was intentionally chosen to work with your body, not against it:
đ Lionâs Mane Mushroom â supports memory, mental clarity, focus, and cognitive function through nerve growth factor support.
⥠Cordyceps Mushroom â supports ATP production for clean, sustained energy, stamina, and endurance without the crash.
đż Reishi Mushroom â an adaptogen traditionally used to support stress response, nervous system regulation, and immune balance.
đ§ Nano CBD + Broad Spectrum CBD â supports calm focus, emotional balance, and helps regulate the bodyâs endocannabinoid system for stress support and grounding.
⨠CBD-V â a rare cannabinoid being studied for alertness, focus, and cognitive support.
đ Yerba Mate â provides natural caffeine, antioxidants, and smooth energy without the jitters.
đą Suma Root â known as âBrazilian ginseng,â traditionally used for resilience, vitality, and stress adaptation.
đ Vitamin B12 â supports nervous system health, energy production, and mental clarity.
The result is a balanced daily wellness gummy designed to help you feel grounded, focused, energized, and present in your body.
No artificial flavors. No artificial colors. Just intentional ingredients rooted in plants, science, and community.
đż Grounded isnât about escaping your life. Itâs about returning to it with clarity.

Meet Cayce Connolly.
Clinical Molecular Geneticist
connolly serves on the Botany Scientifics Medical Advisory Board, bringing over a decade of specialized experience in molecular genetics and laboratory diagnostics.
Her expertise spans clinical research, genetic analysis, and laboratory operations with a focus on how biological systems interact with plant-derived compounds at the molecular level.
With five years of involvement in Xocal, a California-based cannabis advocacy group, she also brings industry-specific insight into botanical research, regulatory awareness, and applied plant science.
As a board advisor, Cayce provides critical guidance on genetic testing methodologies, compound consistency, and quality control protocols helping advance more precise, transparent standards in botanical formulation.
Her work sits at the intersection of genetics, plant science, and clinical application supporting a more evidence-informed approach to understanding how botanical ingredients function in the body.
At , we believe better science leads to better products and better understanding starts with better data.
đ Curious how plant genetics actually influence whatâs in your products?
âAI is evilâ⌠or is it just misunderstood?
The truth is, AI isnât going anywhere.
�So we all have a choice: ignore it or learn how to use it to make better, more informed decisions.
Weâre choosing to use it and yeah, we know thatâs controversial.
But hear us out đ
Most of us are putting products on our bodies every single day and we have no idea whatâs actually in them.
Those ingredient labels?ďż˝Theyâre not written for you, theyâre written for chemists.
So we started doing something simple:
đą Take a photo of the labelďż˝đ¤ Ask AI to break it down
Try prompts like:�⢠âExplain these ingredients in simple termsâ�⢠âAre any of these harmful or irritating?â�⢠âIs this safe for daily use or sensitive skin?â�⢠âWhat does each ingredient actually do?â
And just like that, you go from guessing â to understanding.
This isnât about replacing human intuition.ďż˝Itâs about using tools to ask better questions and take back control of what we put on our bodies.
đ Letâs talk about it:ďż˝Would you trust AI to analyze your skincare or wellness products?
Or does it still feel a little⌠off?
