Arthritis & Inflammation. How to Tame the Beasts.

Arthritis & Inflammation. How to Tame the Beasts.
Are you one of them? An estimated 54 million Americans currently suffer from debilitating arthritis1. Do you know someone who might benefit from hearing about alternatives like cannabis and CBD as a treatment?
What else? Arthritis is often and unfortunately accompanied by other conditions such as pain and sleeplessness while the opioids prescribed to help can have nasty side effects.
Robin in Atlanta suffers from all of this and more. Yet she is not deterred. Her approach and determination are what you’ll hear in this episode. Cannabis is not a cure, but she combines different methods to help her get through the day and sleep more through the night.
In addition to Robin’s story, we share high-level results from the latest studies and insights from Harvard Medical School and The Arthritis Foundation. As we like to say, it is NOT about getting high. It is about getting better: Better Sleep, Better Relief, and a Better Quality of Life!
 
In this episode, you will learn:
Tips and research from the Arthritis Foundation about Cannabis and CBD.
High-level results from a 2022 study about CBD for Arthritis and Joint Pain.
How Robin uses cannabis in different forms to tame the many beasts of arthritis, pain, inflammation, nausea, anxiety, and sleeplessness.
Guidelines and ‘Dos and Don’ts’ from a Harvard Medical School publication.

Three Grandmas Walk into a Room. Cannabis Club Highlights.

Have you ever been to a ‘Cannabis Curious Club’ meeting? What questions would you ask?
This past weekend, it was a packed house at The Brookwood where a group of people gave themselves permission to be ‘cannabis curious’ and they came together to learn and share stories.
It was a diverse group of young (50s), older (80s), grandmas, grandpas, white, black, single people, and couples – and they all had one thing in common: learning more about the basics of medical cannabis.
Their reasons varied as much as their conditions, such as arthritis, knee pain, and poor sleep to not knowing what to ask their doctors or how to know the right serving size or dose of that yummy gummy!
Most importantly, this discussion was NOT about getting high. It was about getting better: Better Sleep, Better Relief, Better Quality of Life! This episode is a short highlight of the topics we covered in this fun and informative Cannabis Curious Club meeting.
 
In this episode, you will learn:
A short history of cannabis, including paying taxes with it in the U.S.
Hemp (full of CBD) has been around thousands of years and why.
Top questions on how cannabis can help with arthritis, sleep, etc.
Important questions to ask your doctor and when/if you go to a dispensary.
Guidelines for dosing amounts, especially for gummies and tincture drops.
How long will it take to feel the effects and why to wait (start low dose, go slow).
What is the most important thing to look for on a cannabis product package.
Key therapeutic differences between THC vs. CBD.
A tip to remember: “Too High Compound vs. Clear Benefits Derived.”
