About Us

Nick Zavakos, with his biology degree and specialty in mycology, brings a deep understanding of natural sciences to our team. Jeff Beverly, a veteran of the cannabis industry with over 14 years of experience, has navigated every facet of the field—from growing medical cannabis in California to managing a public cannabis company. Together with Jeff’s wife, Melanie, who has been a guiding force in their journey, they embarked on a mission to revolutionize cannabis wellness after facing their own health challenges.

After Melanie and Jeff received two separate cancer diagnoses, they made a transformative decision: to leave behind traditional careers and dedicate themselves to healing through cannabis. Their quest for effective, reliable wellness products led them to develop Know Naturals and Moodshine. Frustrated by the limitations of existing edibles and drinks, they sought a better way to deliver cannabis benefits.

Understanding the unique needs of individuals with over-metabolizing livers, Nick and Jeff developed a line of products that bypass traditional liver metabolism. Their innovative approach allows cannabinoids to move directly from the stomach to the lymphatic system and bloodstream in as little as 10-20 minutes. By sidestepping the liver, our products maintain the natural, predictable effects of delta-9 THC, avoiding the sedative 11-hydroxy-THC conversion common in traditional edibles.

At Know Naturals and Moodshine, our mission is to offer functional, high-quality products that truly work. We invite you to experience the benefits of our thoughtfully crafted creations and join us on a journey towards healthier, happier living. Enjoy our products as much as we do, and feel the difference that innovation and passion can make!
