Summary

This week, Stacy and Sarah break down the science behind Marijuana and gut health and look at the potential causes of CHS.  You can find the full show notes with links to the products and articles discussed on this episode here. Listener Question: I love focusing on gut health. I've read your books plus Dr. Terry Wahls books. I rely on cannabis to help me manage some of the residual MS symptoms I have while I work on healing my body. I am greatly aware of the risk of developing CHS as it has been on the rise in the Medical marijuana community here in Portland. It's terrifying to know that something that helps us so much, can harm us too. My question: How does THC affect the gut and gut motility? How can we prevent CHS medical users who use regularly and sometimes heavily to help manage our diseases? There isn't a lot of research I've found surrounding the effects of thc on the gut. I know it can slow down gut motility, but how much is too much and is there a way to counteract this effect? Does CBD have the same effect as thc on the gut or is it different? Can they work together in the gut to create a safer gut effect versus using a higher thc ratio? Ratios are big in the medical world. We rely heavily on the science we are presented in regards to the best ratios for our specific disease. There needs to be more talk on the potential risks of cannabis and how to lower our chances of developing something like CHS since so many of us meet the criteria of being at high risk of developing it. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Seriously.

the skin you're in and being healthy inside and out.

0:15.0

And I'm Dr. Sarah Valentine of the Paleumum.com. I believe that scientific literacy is the key

0:20.1

to improving public health.

0:28.1

Welcome back to the whole view episode 448. We are diving back into our wild and crazy

0:38.1

topics today. I know when we originally approached like the CBD topic it felt so taboo to me

0:47.1

and today's show feels a little taboo to me too. And I know Sarah is going to bring the science

0:52.1

and explain it all to us. But today we're going to talk about marijuana's effect on gut health.

0:57.1

And I am, I know we've talked about it a little bit, but I'm super curious about this.

1:01.1

And I know that you'll also be talking about the difference between full marijuana and what that might do

1:07.1

and whatever form it might be hitting your body, I guess. And then CBD and the difference between them

1:13.1

and how it affects our health. So yeah, is that accurate?

1:19.1

Yeah, actually, I mean, so we got a really great question from a listener named Dana who was asking

1:26.1

specifically about a condition called cannabinoid hyperamesis syndrome. And this was a really,

1:35.1

I thought, like a really interesting opportunity to branch out a little bit beyond CBD,

1:43.1

but also really differentiate between THC containing products and CBD containing products

1:50.1

in terms of their impact on the gut. So it's a, I think, a fascinating question.

1:54.1

And we're going to talk, you know, a little bit about some of the potential consequences of either

2:02.1

medical marijuana use or recreational, but frequent marijuana use.

2:09.1

But also then we're going to sort of branch into like where CBD can potentially fit into that equation

2:15.1

and differentiate a little bit about why CBD is different.

2:19.1

We've talked on this show about some of the potential, like pretty dramatic health benefits
