Cannabis, CBD, and Pain Relief: What Happens to Your Brain and Body on Cannabis with Dr. Peter Grinspoon
Q: What are the medical conditions where we have strongest evidence that cannabis can actually help?

Cannabis, CBD, and Pain Relief: What Happens to Your Brain and Body on Cannabis with Dr. Peter Grinspoon
Q: So when someone consumes cannabis, what's actually happening in their brain and body?
Cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid system, a network of neurotransmitters and receptors involved in functions including memory, temperature, reproduction, hunger, and anxiety. Its many compounds can produce varied effects and potential benefits or harms.
Heart Health Essentials: Protecting Your Arteries and Optimizing Longevity with Michelle Routhenstein
Q: What are some of the tests, right? I mean, if I exercise and I've been exercising for 40 plus years, structured exercise has probably been 35 years now. And I've had a good diet for the last 35 years, and I have all these things going on. I mean, that shouldn't guarantee that I'm in a good place. If I wanted to make sure and ensure that nothing's clogged, there's no plaque developing, like what are some tests you would recommend me to go take?
Routhenstein describes coronary CT angiography with AI analysis, lower-extremity duplex ultrasound and carotid ultrasound or CIMT as ways to assess plaque in different arteries.
Heart Health Essentials: Protecting Your Arteries and Optimizing Longevity with Michelle Routhenstein
Q: So what are the habits that have the biggest impact on reducing heart risk disease?

Comedy Is Wellness: Laughter, Fitness & Mental Health with Natalie Friedman
Q: How do you protect yourself from the negative effects of social media and how do you guard your mental health in a high-pressure career?
