How the Endocannabinoid System is Relevant to Chronic Illness

About this event

Join Lhasa OMS as we host, Jen Palmer, ND, the Director of Education for Charlotte's Web CBD for her free webinar, How the Endocannabinoid System is Relevant to Chronic Illness.

Summary:

Over thirty years ago, the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) was discovered to be present in almost every living body. But somehow, today the majority of medical schools are still not including it in their curriculum. By overlooking the ECS, practitioners may be missing a critical piece of the puzzle when it comes to treating chronic disease.

The Endocannabinoid system (ECS) is comprised of receptors throughout the body, which are triggered by endocannabinoid compounds which our body produces on demand. The ECS promotes homeostasis by regulating neurotransmitters, inflammation, pain signals, and much more. Top researchers theorize that when we fail to make enough endocannabinoids, it can result in clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency, which may be connected to problems such as depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, neurological conditions and more. In this presentation we will review ECS research, and discuss how diet, lifestyle and dietary supplements have been shown to support the Endocannabinoid System.


What Attendees Will Learn:

  •   Endocannabinoid System (ECS) physiology and endocannabinoids reviewed
  •   The significance of the ECS as the master switchboard for all other systems
  •   Connecting chronic illness to ECS function
  •   The gastrointestinal system and the ECS
