ABOUT HOLISTIC MAGNIFIED
Balance Through Science.
Guided by Intention.
Holistic Magnified is an education-first wellness company focused on helping people understand and support their body's natural systems, through research-informed, hemp-derived cannabinoid formulations.
We are not a product company that happens to educate. We are an education company that builds products worthy of what we teach.
"We don't start with products. We start with
understanding."
Mission
Holistic Magnified exists to help people understand their body's natural capacity for balance, and to give them formulations they can actually trust to support it.
Vision
A world where people feel equipped when it comes to their own wellness. Where the science of how the body regulates itself is common knowledge. Where the tools people reach for are built with the same rigor and intention they deserve. Holistic Magnified is building a brand people trust with their bodies for the long term.
THE CORE IDEA
Your body already has systems designed to maintain balance.
The endocannabinoid system plays a role in regulating how those systems communicate. Holistic Magnified builds formulations designed to support that system, not override it.
Most CBD brands are asking customers to believe in the product. HM is building the conditions for customers to understand it. When someone understands why the formula works, they stop comparison-shopping on price. They come back because they know.

OUR COMPASSFive values.
Five values.
One story.
These five values are ordered intentionally. They tell the story of how HM operates: beginning with why it was built, anchored in what it stands for, expressed through how every product is made.
Education
HM was built by someone who spent years teaching people how systems work, and who grew frustrated watching the wellness industry hand people answers without context. Education is the foundation.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
Jimmy Ricard
Jimmy Ricard is the founder of Holistic Magnified and a former STEM educator who built hands-on science programs for hundreds of thousands of students across North Carolina. After rebuilding his own health through years of formulation and study, he launched HM in 2018 to give others access to the same tools, with full transparency on why they work.
Known to thousands of students as "Scientist Jimmy," Jimmy spent a decade building hands-on science programming driven by the belief that everyone deserves to understand how systems work. After a period of personal rebuilding from 2015 through 2017, he applied that same systems-thinking to his own body: studying the endocannabinoid system, learning formulation from a mentor, and spending years testing and iterating on products before he sold a single one.
He launched Holistic Magnified in May 2018 with a simple premise: people deserve to understand what they put in their bodies. Today, every HM formula reflects that standard.
