Stevenston’s wife, Christine Slaven, feels her life has changed following a healthier lifestyle, which includes CBD oil.
The 49-year-old described herself as a “zombie” while suffering from depression, anxiety and sleepless nights.
But now, the mother of three says she has a new life after joining a wild swimming group and incorporating a CBD Nutrivive oil diet for the past six months.
She said: “I had been suffering from depression for many years and when my mother, Christine, died in 2020, my heart was broken and distressed, which made my depression extremely uncontrollable.
“The anxiety I felt took over my whole life and I hated being like that because I have an active job as a practitioner in my early years.
“I started taking CBD Nutrivive oil and was very surprised by the effectiveness of the oil and I am so grateful for how it has helped me.

“I loved swimming when I was a teenager and had heard of a group called Wild Sea Women who gather on various beaches off the coast of Ayrshire and swim in the sea.
“I finally took the courage to join the group. Now I regularly swim in the sea and in my local pool three or four times a week.”
Glasgow-based Nutrivive is run by brothers John and Harry McDonough.
The oil is legal, safe and non-addictive as it does not contain the THC compound that gives the “high” associated with smoking cannabis or taking the drug in other forms.
