Real Food Radio Episode 040: Nutrition Research Bias - What is Credible? with Emily Callahan, MPH, RD

Welcome to Real Food Radio! This week Ayla interviews Janice Newell Bissex, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, cookbook author, speaker, and Holistic Cannabis Practitioner. We talk all about the history of cannabis use, active components (THC vs CBD), medical applications for cannabis and CBD, administration and dosing, potential drug interactions, and legal issues around CBD and cannabis. Janice has spent much of her career creating recipes and educating families about healthy cooking and eating at Meal Makeover Moms and Janice Cooks. After her dad found relief from his pain using medical marijuana it became Janice’s mission to help others suffering from chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, autoimmune diseases, IBD/IBS, and other debilitating conditions find relief using cannabis and CBD. She completed training at the Holistic Cannabis Academy, and now advises clients on access, proper cannabinoid ratios, dosing, best consumption methods, and cooking with cannabis at Jannabis Wellness.

In this episode, we go over:  How hormonal birth control works Natural period vs. withdrawal bleed Common myths about hormonal birth control Potential consequences and risk factors of long term hormonal birth control use How hormonal birth control impacts reproductive organs Hormonal birth control and gut health Nutrition implications of being on hormonal birth control  RESOURCES  What Every Woman Should Know About Hormonal Birth Control by Ayla Barmmer of Boston Functional Nutrition (blog) Sweetening the Pill (blog) Lara Briden - The Period Revolution (blog) Period Repair Manual by Lara Briden (book) We just wanted to take a moment to emphasize a super important point. First and foremost, if you have any concerns, you should take them to your doctor.

This is something only you and your doctor can determine. The purpose of this episode is to educate you about the potential risks of hormonal birth control and to shed light on some considerations that are sometimes overlooked.
