Better Medicine. Better World.
Founded By Physicians
“How can we evolve medicine in a way that makes it better for all and could even make all of us better?”
As integrative physicians on the front lines of healthcare, we ask ourselves this question every day. We believe that now is the time to evolve our thinking about medicine, health, wellness, and self-care away from the status quo, so we decided to push that evolution forward by creating our own “better” medicine.
It’s a way that’s better for everyone – for patients seeking new treatment options for chronic illnesses, for medical and health professionals looking for new and different ways to help, for people, young and old, who just want to feel better and increase their overall health and well-being – and, it’s a direction that’s better for our society and our planet.
Our Mission
Lig & Ceptor produces natural, safe, and effective medicine for all people looking for a better and more proactive way to intervene, prevent, and discover alternative treatments for symptomatic health issues seen in society today.
Medical Advisors & Co-Founders
We’re a group of passionate and caring front-line physicians who have been working to make medicine that’s better for all since our paths first crossed decades ago.

Laning has been board certified in Emergency Medicine for over 20 years and has practiced everywhere from inner city to rural environments. He has been medical director for several festivals and events, EMS services, and even a backcountry snowboarding lodge. He developed an interest in plant-based medicine through his working relationship and friendship with the other Lig & Ceptor doctors, Devlin and Barnet. Being on the front lines and witnessing the devastating effects of polypharmacy and opioids on a daily basis has reaffirmed his commitment to and passion for using plant-based alternatives for his patients whenever possible.
After seeing firsthand both the benefits and shortcomings of modern-day pharmacology, we’ve made it our goal to provide safer and more effective alternatives.
Experienced and Always Evolving
Together, we have over 60 years of combined experience practicing Western and Integrative Medicine. We all continue to work on the front lines of medicine – in urban and rural hospitals, clinics and private medical practices – all while exploring better options for our patients.
Modern Science Meets
Traditional Wisdom
All our formulas have a Cannabidiol (CBD) backbone, which enhances the wide-reaching benefits of our other ingredients. By turning on or off certain receptors in the body, we can achieve the desired results for a number of conditions. Over 43% of prescription medications are derived from plants. Mother Nature has been the birthplace of all indigenous healing traditions.
What Does Lig & Ceptor Mean?
If you’ve taken a biochemistry class, you may get that our name is derived from the Ligand/Receptor interaction at the cellular level. It’s essentially the human body’s idea of a “lock and key” mechanism. There are thousands of these complex “lock and key” mechanisms in the body.
The Ligand is an ion or molecule that binds to the Receptor to trigger a specific reaction. This Ligand/Receptor bond causes cell mechanisms to turn on/off and aid in the homeostasis and function of a cell. Since our compounds work at this cellular “lock and key” level, we decided “Lig & Ceptor” was an appropriate name.
