from Optimize We by Lindsay O’Neill-O' Keefe · host Lindsay O'Neill

Dr. Annabelle Manalo-Morgan is a Filipino-Canadian scientist, educator, author, and speaker with a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology from Vanderbilt University.Her third child, Macario (which means "blessing" in Tagalog), suffered up to 200 seizures per day from birth and underwent surgery to remove 38% of his brain at 28 days old. Feeling helpless with traditional medicine, she used her scientific background to develop a pure and potent proprietary cannabidiol (CBD) formula for her son.From her groundbreaking work in cardio oncology and her son's miraculous recovery using a self-created cannabinoid formula, to her advocacy for integrated science and her acumen for fast-tracked research, she highlights her unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern science. Discover her insights on collaboration, cellular uniqueness, and the importance of scientific justification, all while balancing a demanding career with a large family, including her son BJ's "38 Foundation."She balances her career and travel with being a mother of five and a wife to Roy “Gramps” Morgan, a Grammy award-winning reggae artist. She prioritizes being present when she is home.
