Included in the discussion but not limited to:
PHYTOCANNABINOIDS
Becky says, Nourish your ENDOCANNABINOID system - "endo" means you make these yourself - healthy human breast milk is sky-high rich with cannabis! - but you might not be making enough yourself, in which case God gave us plant sources to fill in the gaps:
Functional Interaction between Opioid and Cannabidiol Receptors in Drug Self-Administration - The Journal of Neuroscience
Cannabis Use Reduced Opiate Withdrawal Symptoms - Thomas Jefferson University Study
Why Cannabis is the Future of Medicine
Marijuana's History: How One Plant Spread Throughout the World
AVENA SATIVA
MILKY OAT SEED - Avena sativa
KRATOM
How to Quit Heroin and Opiate Drugs with Kratom
Then, call in with a health issue you are curious about! Justin and Becky will each take a "stab" at it panel-discussion style.
We also thought it might be fun to explore further last Saturday's subject SEX - and the widespread hormonal health problems affecting not only our ZEST but our overall HEALTH.
