Brain Meets Body with Dr. Hilary Marusak

Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Dr. Hilary Marusak who is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences at Wayne State University (WSU) School of Medicine in Detroit Michigan. We connected a few years ago after her research team published a review paper on the effects of exercise on the endocannabinoid system. In this episode we talk about her research related to cannabis and the endocannabinoid system in stress and brain development, the hard parts about doing cannabis-based research, and as always so many ideas for future research. You’ll also hear some great midwestern accents.Support the showTo learn more about Dr. Ogle, visit https://www.whitneyogle.comIf you’d like to be guest, have any guest ideas, or have any questions about cannabis and exercise you’d like me to talk about, send me a DM on Instagram @exploringcannabisandexercise  or email me at [email protected]. If you like what I'm up to and want to help me continue to make this podcast happen, you can venmo me @whitney-ogle or  https://www.buzzsprout.com/1966271/supporters/new  Host: Whitney Ogle DPT, PhDIntro Music: Haley Montowski (and producer for Season 1 - thank you Haley!)Music: "Bonfire Cauliflower" by Isaac Joel **Friendly reminder/disclaimer** I am not suggesting everyone use cannabis with exercise. Cannabis is definitely not for everyone. But if you're curious about your own use, understanding more about why people use cannabis with exercise, or want to learn about the latest research in the field, you're in the right place. Make good choices out there.
