Episode 42: SPONSORED Unlocking the potential of endocannabinoid system w Dr. Jacqueline Jacques

Yes, hemp & marijuana are major providers of cannabinoids, and
in the FxMed space, we are extremely excited about this potent
family of bioactive molecules. In particular, we are looking at CBD
for indications ranging from pain to mood, inflammation, memory and
more. Turns out the endocannabinoid system (ECS) extends body-wide,
and similarly, phytocannabinoid sources extend far beyond hemp and
marijuana. Listen to my conversation with Dr. Jacqueline Jacques,
Senior VP with THORNE – and tour the ECS and the use of
phytocannabinoids from hemp, rosemary, clove, black pepper and even
hops, whose constituents have an “entourage” effect on the ECS,
along with other commonly prescribed compounds including
diindolylmethane, ginseng, echinacea. It strikes me as extremely

our patients and ourselves – probably PCs are foundational
interventions not dissimilar to the regularly prescribed essential
fatty acids. We get the inside scoop on all this and more in New
Frontiers! Take a listen and let me know what you think:
