This conversation dives into the crucial role of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) in maintaining health, why it remains overlooked in modern medicine, and how scientific advancements are uncovering its potential. Scientists Miyabe Sheilds and Riley D. Kirk join Debi to discuss age-related ECS changes, targeted cannabinoid interventions, and how research with lived experiences could revolutionize how we approach chronic diseases. Listeners will also gain insight into the latest NAP studies, real-world patient experiences, and the future of ECS-based healthcare solutions.
Key Takeaways:
- The ECS is still ignored in mainstream healthcare despite growing scientific evidence supporting its role in regulating essential body functions.
