Background Nate Holloway grew up in Bristol, England, the son of a herbalist mother and a pharmacology lecturer father — a household where dinner table conversation bounced between chamomile tinctures and receptor binding sites. He studied Biochemistry at the University of Exeter, graduating in 2009, before spending several years working in pharmaceutical communications in London, writing patient-facing materials for a mid-sized healthcare company. It was a nagging knee injury from years of weekend rugby that first introduced him to CBD in 2016. Frustrated with the conflicting information he found online, he began researching the topic methodically — and eventually started writing about it himself. Career in CBD Writing Nate joined the team at Express CBD in 2021, drawn by the brand's commitment to transparency and third-party lab testing. His writing spans the full product spectrum — oils, vapes, edibles, skincare, pet wellness, and terpene science — always with an eye toward making complex cannabinoid research accessible to everyday readers. He reviews dozens of CBD products per year, maintains relationships with several UK-based hemp cultivators, and stays current with evolving FSA and MHRA regulations. The blog's multilingual reach (spanning seven languages and markets from Spain to Poland) reflects his belief that good CBD information should have no borders.
