SOMALAB - How it All Started - Turning Health Issues and Heartache into a business that help others.
In 2011, at the age of 17, Earl’s life changed dramatically after a head injury from an accident at school triggered a neurological disorder, leading to frequent seizures and significant memory loss.
This period of turmoil was preceded by the heartbreaking loss of his father to cancer, which left a profound impact on Earl and filled him with grief. His father's death was followed by the tragic passing of his best friend in a car accident, who had been a pillar of support during some of the toughest times in Earl's life. These losses contributed to the stress and emotional burden that exacerbated his condition.
New Solutions to Health Issues: CBD and other Nootropics:
As Earl navigated these personal challenges, he struggled with the debilitating side effects of conventional medications like Keppra and Carbamazepine. While Keppra helped lower the frequency of his seizures, it did not completely control them, and he experienced several side effects that altered his personality, mood, and cognitive abilities. Feeling trapped by his condition and the medications, Earl sought an alternative path to recovery.
In search of relief, he turned to CBD (cannabidiol) and later discovered the transformative effects of combining CBDV (cannabidivarin) and lion's mane mushroom active compounds, along with other natural compounds. This combination ultimately stopped his seizures and helped restore his cognitive function, allowing him to regain control over his life. Inspired by his journey and the potential of these natural solutions, Earl recognized the need for further exploration into the health benefits of cannabinoids.
Researching CBD and other Nootropics to Help Others:
In 2017, he began a collaborative project with various PhDs in organic chemistry, biotechnology, and physicians to delve deeper into the effects of botanical extracts and their applications in health. This collaboration aimed to uncover the scientific basis for the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and other natural compounds, particularly in relation to neurological conditions.

The company was founded with the mission of harnessing the power of cannabinoids and other natural compounds to create innovative health solutions that improve the lives of individuals facing similar challenges.
