In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, we dive deep into the endocannabinoid system—the master regulator of health that most people (and even doctors) don’t fully understand. Dr. Michael Stewart and Chris Lindahl from Entourage join us to uncover how the endocannabinoid system influences inflammation, chronic disease, and overall health.

We discuss:

✅ What the endocannabinoid system is and why it’s critical for health

✅ How inflammation, long Covid, and metabolic issues are all connected

✅ The difference between CBD isolate and full-spectrum hemp—and why it matters

✅ How to restore and optimize your endocannabinoid system naturally

✅ Clinical research on cannabis for inflammation, anxiety, brain fog, and pain

✅ How Dr. Stewart’s long Covid study showed 8 out of 9 symptom improvements

✅ Why most CBD products don’t work—and how to find quality hemp products

✅ The Entourage Effect—why using the whole plant is superior to CBD isolates

✅ How to properly use CBD & hemp for sleep, recovery, and nervous system health

Key Takeaways:

🔥 Inflammation is at the root of most chronic diseases. The endocannabinoid system is critical for regulating inflammation, yet it’s often overlooked in traditional medicine.

🌱 CBD isolates ≠ full-spectrum hemp. Most commercial CBD products are isolates, stripping away beneficial compounds. Entourage focuses on whole-plant extracts, preserving the full-spectrum Entourage Effect.

⚡ The mitochondria-endocannabinoid connection. Chronic stress locks your body into a cell danger response, which leads to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and pain. Optimizing the endocannabinoid system helps restore cellular balance.

😴 Better sleep, less anxiety. Many people report significant improvements in HRV, deep sleep, and stress resilienceusing properly formulated full-spectrum hemp products.

🐶 CBD for pets? Yes! Entourage’s products are safe for dogs and can help with anxiety, inflammation, and mobility issues—but always use a direct oral application, not mixed in food.

🧪 Lab Testing & Purity Matter. Entourage tests for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbes to ensure clean, safe, and effective products.

🚨 THC Warning: If you are drug tested at work, check with your employer before using Entourage products, as they contain full-spectrum cannabinoids, including trace amounts of THC.
