Best Night Ever!

You’ve probably heard of these letters: THC, CBD, but what about  CBG or CBN, how about terpenes, or phytocannabinoids?

What do they really mean and how can we optimize our experience with them.

Now you may be thinking this is a weed show for stoners, but it’s not. Not even close!

This is a really fun and intriguing conversation with an expert on cannabis and plant therapies as well as an awesome storyteller.

The market for cannabis-based products has exploded over the years and with it has come more options, more formulations, and frankly more confusion! 

I have spoken with industry leaders in this field but when I met our guest today I was blown away by his passion, his knowledge base, and his expertise in the field of helping people heal with plant medicines

Perhaps you may be the type that has never tried it but are thinking about it but you don’t want to be that person who ends up curled up in bed praying for the roller coaster ride to stop!

My guest is Len May

He is a pioneer in the medical cannabis industry, with more than 25 years researching cannabinoids and their impact on human physiology. As a Certified Medical Cannabis Specialist in Medicinal Genomics, Len May has an intimate knowledge of genomics, cannabinoids and terpenes, and their interaction with the endocannabinoid system. This knowledge has allowed him to consult on the creation of cannabinoid formulations designed to address specific health concerns.

In this show we talk about:

• His journey from getting busted by his parents to becoming the President of the Cannabis Action Network
• Cannabis 101...he tells a fascinating story about the origins of the different strains of the plants and how they affect us differently
• Speaking of that we also discuss why 2 people can take the same exact product and have 2 completely different reactions
• We speak about why CBD has become so popular lately
• What to look out for when shopping for CBD, especially on big online platforms
• What the endocannabinoid system is and how to optimize its effects
• What his company ENDODNA does.
• You can find it at endodna.com 
• And in case you want to use his service, after hearing about it in the show,  I have a code “BESTNIGHTEVER” for 20% off
• We also go into some entrepreneur insights and talk a bit about mindfulness, and meditation 
• We also talk about some sleep hacks as well as some great stories about people that he has worked with and helped!

Every day we breathe in over 2000 gallons of air. That is enough to fill a normal-size swimming pool! And to do that, we'll take about 20,000 breaths per day. 

But what if that air is full of mold and toxins?

In this show, I chat with Christeen Hodson, who is the Customer Excellence Manager at a company called Air Oasis. That means she gets inundated with questions, everyday, from customers regarding air filtration and purification. As a result, she’s an expert at the importance of healthy air.

In this show we talk about:

• Why it’s more important than ever to have healthy air
• The change in public perception of how and what we breathe
• Masks vs filters
• The difference between air filters and purifiers 
• What to look for when shopping for a system
• Why a proper system is an investment
• Optimal locations for air purifiers
• The different filtration methods and technologies and how they work 
• And much more.

If you are interested in learning more about improving the air around you, or placing an order you can go to my website: www.sleepbiohacker.com where I have links to Air Oasis along with a discount code: “bestnightever” for 10% off.

We can all agree that if we don’t breathe, we don’t live. But have you given much thought on how you breathe? Have you heard of the term “functional breathing”? 

In this episode, Dr. Jay goes deep into the world of sleep with a pioneer in the world of functional breathing. His name is Patrick McKeown and if you’ve ever wondered about breathing you may have read his books called “Close Your Mouth” or “The Oxygen Advantage”.

Patrick McKeown is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading breathing re-education experts.

He’s been on just about every major health and wellness podcast including Bulletproof radio, Ben Greenfield, London Real, and many many more. He’s also a TEDx presenter, so you’re going to want to listen in on his incredible body of knowledge

A quick warning: we did a deep dive into sleep apnea medicine and talked about things like arousal thresholds and loop gain which got pretty technical in the first half of the show, but if it’s too technical you can fast forward to the second half where we talk about:

• mouth taping
• breathing for performance,
• kids and breathing
• why breathing hard and yoga may not be the best idea and more

Chloe is a mama on a mission to bring the safest and most effective hemp oil to the market, 

Her first formula, called  Remy's Revenge was created to help her sweet son, named Remy,  who we talk quite a bit about in this show.

Her son has an impressively rare genetic disorder causing global neural delays and catastrophic epilepsy. As a medical provider, herb nerd and as a mother, Chloe knew that the current one-size-fits-all approach to hemp was not the most effective way to work with this powerful plant. So she took matters into her own hands and you’ll discover her journey was not easy but has become her passion
