Living in the Weeds: Episode 10

Your ECS as a Thermostat for Wellness

Welcome to the final episode of Season 1! This entire series has been validating in so many ways, but to hear about the pharmacology behind it all was just the perfect way to end our first season of Living in the Weeds. Having the opportunity to talk about neurovirgence and cannabis with two pharmacists is a nerdy dream come true.

In this episode, Jessica, Simi, Megan and I talk about:

your endocannabinoid system as a thermostat for wellness
cannabis through the lens of Ayurvedic medicine
how neurodivergence manifests outside the brain
the importance of whole plant medicine

And that’s just a tidbit from the wealth of information that’s packed into this episode.
