Cannabis, pregnancy and breastfeeding w/ Beth Skinner Jasinski!

In this eye-opening episode, we explore the controversial and complex topic of using cannabis during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. While mainstream medical advice generally discourages any cannabis use during these sensitive stages, some parents have made informed decisions to continue cannabis for medicinal reasons, including managing chronic pain, severe nausea (like hyperemesis gravidarum), anxiety, or PTSD.

We break down the potential risks, such as concerns about fetal development, low birth weight, and the transfer of THC through breast milk. At the same time, we highlight personal stories from parents who felt that continuing cannabis helped them function better, avoid more harmful pharmaceuticals, or manage debilitating symptoms.

The lack of long-term research
The use of medical vs recreational

The role of honest, stigma-free dialogue with healthcare providers

Cannabis and Body Temperature Regulation: Staying Cool With Cannabis!

Today we’re talking about something that is familiar to me at least, and a topic that may be familiar for you as well during these past few days…body-heat regulation!

We will talk about the science behind this as well, however overall this topic is a bit more of a stretch.

Personally, I believe that cannabis has helped me immensely in this regard, and I will go through and discuss how.

We’ll find that sometimes we’ll see direct impacts on temperature control with cannabis (THC); and other effects are more indirect (CBD).

Overall, I think this topic is largely tied to anxiety, however since it’s overlooked and has helped me as much as it has, I wanted to take time to discuss it!

Cannabis and Anandamide

In this week’s episode, Ryan explores the fascinating world of anandamide, often called the “bliss molecule,” and its role in the endocannabinoid system (ECS). He discusses how anandamide helps maintain harmony within the body, influencing functions like mood, stress response, and even the euphoric “runner’s high.” Ryan dives into the discovery of the ECS and how cannabinoids such as CBD enhance anandamide by inhibiting its breakdown, making cannabis a powerful tool for stress relief, immune support, and pain management. This episode offers a science-packed look at how understanding anandamide can enhance one’s relationship with cannabis and personal wellness.
