Healing Insomnia, Reducing Pain, And Other Benefits Of Medicinal Cannabis

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and
Essentia. There are actually many proven benefits of medical
marijuana when it’s used the right way. In fact, cannabis may be
one of the oldest documented herbal medicines on earth. And the
body has a remarkable built-in system of endocannabinoid receptors
that pair with it to reduce pain, improve sleep, increase mood,
reduce nausea, and much more.  In today’s episode, I talk with
Dr. Misha Kogan, Dr. Josh Axe, and Jamie Wheal about the many
benefits of cannabis, and we take a look at how the body’s built-in
endocannabinoid healing system works in tandem with this plant
medicine. Dr. Mikhail “Misha” Kogan is the medical director of the
George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine and
associate professor of medicine at the George Washington University
School of Medicine. Dr. Kogan has recommended medical marijuana to
thousands of patients and is a frequent lecturer on medical
cannabis to professional audiences across the nation. Dr. Josh Axe
is a certified doctor of natural medicine, a doctor of
chiropractic, and a clinical nutritionist with a passion to help
people get healthy by empowering them to use nutrition to fuel
their health. He is the bestselling author of Keto Diet, Eat Dirt,
and Collagen Diet and author of the book Ancient Remedies. He is
also the cofounder of Ancient Nutrition, which provides protein
powders, holistic supplements, vitamins, essential oils, and more
to the modern world. Dr. Axe founded the natural health website
DrAxe.com, one of the top natural health websites in the world
today. Jamie Wheal is the author of Recapture the Rapture:
Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind and
