Summary
This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Essentia.
There are actually many proven benefits of medical marijuana when it’s used the right way. In fact, cannabis may be one of the oldest documented herbal medicines on earth. And the body has a remarkable built-in system of endocannabinoid receptors that pair with it to reduce pain, improve sleep, increase mood, reduce nausea, and much more.
In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Misha Kogan, Dr. Josh Axe, and Jamie Wheal about the many benefits of cannabis, and we take a look at how the body’s built-in endocannabinoid healing system works in tandem with this plant medicine.
Dr. Mikhail “Misha” Kogan is the medical director of the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine and associate professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Kogan has recommended medical marijuana to thousands of patients and is a frequent lecturer on medical cannabis to professional audiences across the nation.
Dr. Josh Axe is a certified doctor of natural medicine, a doctor of chiropractic, and a clinical nutritionist with a passion to help people get healthy by empowering them to use nutrition to fuel their health. He is the bestselling author of Keto Diet, Eat Dirt, and Collagen Diet and author of the book Ancient Remedies. He is also the cofounder of Ancient Nutrition, which provides protein powders, holistic supplements, vitamins, essential oils, and more to the modern world. Dr. Axe founded the natural health website DrAxe.com, one of the top natural health websites in the world today.
Jamie Wheal is the author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind and the global bestseller Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work and the founder of the Flow Genome Project, an international organization dedicated to the research and training of human performance.
