The old descriptions of “sugar diabetes” and “juvenile diabetes” don’t accurately describe these two diseases, and today I’m going to describe the causes, symptoms, and co-morbidities between these often confused diseases. I’ll also address the treatments for diabetes, and what we currently understand about the effect of cannabinoids on a patient with diabetes.

If you’ve always connected the phrase “get the munchies” with marijuana, then you might be curious about how medical cannabis can help with the treatment of obesity. I am going to talk about some of the current treatments for obesity, some of their benefits and side effects, and then cover what we currently know and understand about medical cannabis and obesity.

When people say that cannabis has a distinctive smell, what are they talking about? Terpenes are more than just the aromatics in cannabis; they are found in every single botanical. Today I’m going to teach you what terpenes are and why you should pay special attention to the particular terpenes found in products.

In this episode, I talk about the signs, symptoms, and current treatment plans for Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune disease. Because there is no cure for it, many of the treatments currently revolve around managing and reducing pain, and I’ll share common drugs and their side effects. I’ll also share some promising studies about cannabinoids’ potential role in the management of this disease.

Chronic pain can affect so much more than just a person’s body. Unmanaged chronic conditions like osteoarthritis can spiral into sleep problems, depression, or added weight gain. You can see why many people want help managing the pain they experience in their joints before it begins to affect other parts of their lives.

Building a strong support system around a patient with Parkinson’s disease is a very important part of their treatment. Family, caregivers, and patients alike have to work together to find a regimen that will help them live comfortably with the disease. Exercise and diet play a strong part in its management, but so does pharmacological means. And when these options aren’t working as well as you hoped, there is some potential help with cannabis.
