Cannabis and Fear!Welcome back! Rate, subscribe, and please tell us what you like and don’t like!Happy Halloween! I Llloooooove this time of year!!So we decided to talk about a Halloween related topic…FEAR!! Why are we talking about fear?It affects so many of us!!! Depending on how you handle your fear, it can help or hurt you. Fear, in appropriate circumstances, is a natural and protective response. However, when fear responses are disproportionate to the danger, persistent, or interfere with daily life, they can become problematic, often manifesting as anxiety disorders, phobias, or PTSD.….IT’S ALSO HALLOWEEN!!Discussing fear is important for several reasons:1. Mental Health: Understanding fear helps in addressing various mental health issues. -Recognizing when fear becomes paralyzing or chronic can be the first step toward seeking help and finding coping strategies.2. Social and Cultural Understanding: Fears can be collective and influence social or cultural groups broadly, affecting behavior, decision-making, and relationships on larger scales. Conversations around this will be helpful for the broader good!!3. Personal Growth: On an individual level, confronting and understanding one’s fears can be a pathway to personal development, fostering qualities like resilience, empathy, and courage.

Why?First and foremost, to prove to myself I can do this.I want to leave something for my kids…documentation of more positive influence I’ve left in the world…energy, and good vibes that I’m tossing out there.There is no action that is too small…they all count!I Progressively have been fitter every 10 years…and I want to see how long I can keep that up.-I’m curious! :) I also believe that if as a society we take time to focus on holistic health, we will thrive as a community and that positive energy has a ripple effect.There’s buzz that “40 is the new 30,” and i want people to believe that they can be their best again mentally, emotionally, physically, etc.I want to show my kids by example that this is possible, and for them to follow suit. How?-This will be a documentation of my journey.The main show will remain as is; but this show will include a lot of solo time along with interviews with others.-I also plan to document more on the website and IG, blogging, so be on the lookout for those. Topics to discuss? Quit a few!NutritionExerciseMental healthSleepSupplements/alternative therapyEnvironmental healthAging …sustainable aging!Relationships and social supportMindBody connectionSelf-care and stress management Overall feelings and closing statements on the start of this showSuper excited!! Pushing through boundaries and progressing is what life is aboutI’m doing this in real-time…so feel free to jump on board with me along this journeyCannabis will be a supporting actor, but not the main character…those will be the actions!Why?

Cannabis and Topical CreamsWelcome back! Rate, subscribe, tell us what you like or don’t like!Why is this topic important?-I think for several reasons! -A) We’ve talked about creams but have never dedicated a show to it -B) There are sooooo many applications for it -C) No psychoactive properties, so this is great for grandma! -D) Harmless introduction for a newbie to cannabis! -E) All Natural and very effective alternative -F) -Pain is a big driver that brings people to opioid addiction or harsher drugs to treat that pain. So let’s get into it!What are topicals?-Topicals are cannabis-infused balms, lotions, sprays, and oils that are absorbed through the skin for localized pain relief…different that vaping or taking a tincture/tablet, which will target all areas of the body. -We’re seeing that Cannabis creams can help with pain, discomfort, and inflammation. -Sometimes when we get this relief, we get it from Opioids, which can cause unwanted side effects such as nausea, constipation, addiction, and then we’re talking about cannabis use for a whole other ailment to treat!-You can often find strain specific topicals as well with both the terpenes and cannabinoids, sometimes other herbals are thrown in there as well. How do they work?-You have receptors all over your skin, so they will bind to the CB1/2 receptors to provide localized relief…they don’t enter the blood stream, so their effects will remain where you put them, and thus also won’t travel up to your brain to give you that nice little buzz!-Transdermal Patches- These actually DO reach your bloodstream and can cause psychoactivity-Since CBD won’t spark addiction, this may be something we need to consider instead of possibly vicadin next time you have an intense back pain or something?What ailments can I treat with topicals?-muscle soreness, tension, inflammation, psoriasis, dermatitis, itching, headaches, and cramping.-A THC-rich rub infused with cooling menthol and peppermint is a perfect way to wind down from a brutal workout or hike. For intense localized pain, you may try a warming balm that combines the deep painkilling properties of cannabinoids with a tingling, soothing sensation. -THCa and CBD together (NOT THC), are both great for inflammation when you put them together. How I use topicals?-Inflammation on my knees (High CBD)-Any irritation from working out that’s a result of inflammation-Pain relief from cuts (High THC)-Cuts from dry hands-inflammation for my sinuses-stomach upset-acne-stops sebaceous glands from producing too much oil, reduces inflammationSources:Yes, CBD Creams Relieve Pain.

Cannabis and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)Welcome back! Rate, subscribe, tell us what you like or what you want to see less of…thanks again!Today we’re talking about a common form of anxiety that many of us have heard called “OCD” or obsessive compulsive disorder. Why are we talking about this? Why is it important? A few reasons!First, OCD is a very common disorder. Second, OCD can be very difficult to live with. Third, there is a lot of stigma associated with OCD. Finally, there is a lack of awareness about OCD. So let’s help with some of that today, shall we?!We need to talk more about OCD so that we can raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with it. We also need to make sure that people with OCD have access to the treatment they need (i.e.- Cannabis?!). By simply talking more about OCD and having this discussion, we can help to improve the lives of millions of people.Sources:1.

Cannabis for Summer SAD (Seasonal Anxiety DisorderSo first…what is summer seasonal anxiety disorder, and why is it important? Summer seasonal anxiety disorder, also known as summer SAD, is a type of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) that occurs during the summer months. SAD is a mood disorder that is characterized by symptoms of depression that come and go with the seasons. Great!…but why is it important to discuss?…for a few reasons! To raise awareness: Many people are not aware that summer SAD is a real condition.

The time has arrived just as it has every year!Birds are chirping, sun is shining, and people are getting PUMPED about cannabis more than ever…..!!We’ve done the history of 420, cali teens, fans of the greatfuldead meeting at a spot after school at 4:20. This expanding to other greatfuldead fans when one went on tour with them and word spread. Now it’s just a great day to acknowledge and celebrate this magical plant!

Cannabis and Seasonal Allergies in 2023- 4 Ways Cannabis Can Assist!Why is this topic important?I’ve compiled a few thoughts on this, including:Seasonal allergies affect a large portion of the population and can have a negative impact on quality of life.Traditional treatments for seasonal allergies may not work for everyone or may come with unwanted side effects.Cannabis offers a potential alternative or complementary treatment option for seasonal allergies.Cannabis may have anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties, pain relief, etc, which can help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with allergies.Research on the potential benefits and risks of cannabis for seasonal allergies can help inform healthcare professionals and patients in making informed decisions about treatment options….let your doctors know!!

Cannabis and Tolerance Refresh!THANK you for your support! We love when you guys reach out. We do this for one reason only, that’s for YOU! Please rate, subscribe, tell us what you like, THANK YOU for coming back! I love this topic, as usual, this is one that’s near-and-dear to me, and is why I like to share with you all. Are you feeling sometimes that you’re not getting the same “umph” from your cannabis? Are you getting frustrated? We’ll not for long! We’ll provide tips in this episode to assist with that and any of these pesky tolerance issues moving forward! Why is this topic important? Developing a tolerance can affect your overall experience with cannabis and potentially lead to increased use and dependence. For me, I think it’s the risk of looking elsewhere for your medicine…for something “stronger@ when you don’t need that…especially when you can just take a day or two, reset, and get efficacy from your cannabis again. So tune in as we talk about tolerance, what it is, why it happens, and how you can keep your cannabis Always feeling good!References:"Cannabis Tolerance: What It Is and How to Manage It" by Leafly (2019) - https://www.leafly.com/learn/cannabis-tolerance"Cannabis Tolerance: Everything You Need to Know" by Verywell Mind (2021) -https://www.leafly.com/learn/cannabis-tolerance"Marijuana Tolerance: A Comprehensive Review of the Phenomenon" by Gorelick et al.

Welcome back! We have a familiar episode for you all! Not too heavy, and maybe a bit of fun as well!Jack and I have been traveling recently, it’s spring break season, so we’re going to talk about that pesky ailment you may get when you’re zipping around the world in and out of different times zones…To begin, let’s ask the big question: What is Jet Lag and How Does It Occur?Answer? Jet lag is a temporary sleep disorder that occurs when a person travels across multiple time zones, causing a disruption in their internal clock, or circadian rhythm.Circadian Rhythm- The circadian rhythm is a 24-hour internal clock that regulates various physiological processes, including the sleep-wake cycle.When a person travels through different time zones, the body's internal clock becomes misaligned with the destination's local time, resulting in a range of symptoms.This disruption in the circadian rhythm can lead to symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and gastrointestinal issues.
