What Wholesome CBD Actually Is
Wholesome CBD and Supplements is a Michigan-made, locally owned CBD and supplement shop in Highland run by founders Luke and Brianna Markell. They started it the same way most good businesses start: they found something that worked, discovered most people could not afford it, and built a better option.
Their product line covers the recovery and wellness side of staying active. Organic CBD tinctures for systemic support, sleep, and daily recovery. CBD salves and topicals for localized soreness and tissue that needs targeted attention. CBD gummies for everyday use. Every product is third-party lab tested and the reports are published publicly, because what goes in your body should be verifiable.
This is not a wall of random bottles. It is a considered selection built for people who take recovery seriously and want products that are clean, tested, and affordable.
The Recovery Community They Serve
Wholesome CBD has built a presence in the BJJ and active adult community in Michigan, writing specifically about CBD's role in supporting recovery, focus, and inflammation management for grapplers and athletes.
Tim trains BJJ. This partnership was not random. The people Wholesome serves, active adults who train hard and want their recovery environment working as hard as they do, are the same people TPL serves. The overlap in values and community made the partnership natural.
What Wholesome Carries
CBD Tinctures
Organic, locally made tinctures for systemic support: sleep, recovery, daily wellness. The foundational product for TPL patients looking to support their recovery environment between sessions.
CBD Topicals and Salves
Targeted application for localized soreness and tissue that needs direct attention. Works alongside the structural work TPL does rather than replacing it.
CBD Gummies
Everyday use for consistent systemic support. An accessible format for patients who want CBD without the tincture.
Lab Tested and Verified
Every product is third-party lab tested. Reports are published publicly at wholesomecbdandsupplements.com/pages/lab-reports. Athletes and active adults can verify exactly what they are putting in their body.
Where the Two Approaches Connect
The referral runs both directions because the gap runs both directions.
Wholesome customers who have their recovery environment dialed in but still have structural pain, a locked hip, a shoulder that will not move overhead, or tightness that keeps returning despite good recovery habits, come to TPL. Recovery support cannot release a restricted joint or retrain a compensation pattern. That is what hands-on manual therapy and a kinetic chain plan are for.
TPL patients who have resolved the structural problem but whose recovery is still lagging between sessions go to Wholesome. When the tissue is moving correctly but the environment the tissue heals inside is not supporting repair, better recovery support closes the gap faster than more treatment alone.
Where the Two Sides Connect
Recurring tightness that never fully clears
When back or shoulder tightness keeps returning between sessions, recovery support from the inside paired with structural work on the outside breaks the cycle faster than either approach alone.
Arthritis and inflammation management
Arthritis responds best to a combination: reduced systemic inflammation load from quality CBD support, paired with the joint and tissue work in our Pain Relief & Mobility track.
Sleep and tissue repair
Tissue rebuilds during rest. Better sleep support means the structural work TPL does holds between sessions instead of resetting. Wholesome's tinctures and gummies support the recovery environment where healing actually happens.
In Tim's words
You can do everything right structurally and still recover slowly because the inside is run-down. You can support recovery well and still have a joint that will not move. Wholesome and TPL cover the two halves that have to work together. The fact that they are also embedded in the same BJJ and active adult community we serve made this a straightforward partnership.
