We get a lot of terminology thrown at us by the healthcare system. Add symptoms of perimenopause and we practically need to keep Wikipedia open on our phones permanently just to understand what the heck is going on with our bodies! This week we’re going to throw another word at you: endocannabinoid Did you know our bodies all have an endocannabinoid system made up of receptors that can interact with cannabis and potentially relieve some of the more unpleasant or uncomfortable symptoms of menopause? Can it help with hormone imbalance and the myriad of symptoms that come along with perimenopause and beyond? Kim Lam, Patient Care Specialist from Apollo Cannabis Clinics joins us this week to help answer some of those questions. Kim shares some eye-opening information on how cannabis can be used to help treat symptoms related to hormone changes as we age including their biological properties and makeup. She’ll take us through some history, and consumption options including oils and capsules. Stay tuned to learn how a little cannabis might just help you sleep through the night among other things!
