Last week, Dr. Eric Goodman, creator of Foundation Training, explained how bodyweight exercises and postures a few minutes a day can help us recover from injury and chronic pain.
Today, we continue the conversation on chronic pain management by exploring the use of cannabis as a viable alternative to pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Goodman explains how cannabis stimulates the endogenous cannabinoid system in a healthy and natural way. This has the effect of lowering pain and improving the quality of life, especially for people suffering from chronic conditions such as Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, cancer, etc.
While cannabis use is now being widely legalized and its medicinal properties recognized, the stigma still exists. It's important to note that cannabis is not a cure for anything.
As you'll be hearing in this episode, compared to surgery and pharmaceuticals used for chronic pain management, cannabis is a much better alternative.
Along with sharing his own and his patients' stories of using cannabis to manage chronic pain, Dr. Goodman explains why he strongly advocates for its medical use in a safe way.
But cannabis is not for everyone.
Tune in to learn more about the endocannabinoid system, CBD use, smoking, edibles, and much more.
