Episode 137: The Cannabis Doctor (feat. Dr. James Stewart)

One of the things I am so grateful for is the ability to see the way that many doctors approach health & well-being shifting globally on a massive scale & beginning to utilize things such as plant medicines as alternative modalities for healing. In my opinion, this amazing paradigm shift we are experiencing will open up the doorway to true healthcare, aka preventative medicine, rather than what we currently have which is best described as sick care, aka once you’re sick, you then go to receive care. Today's guest on the show is a man who, along with being a medical doctor from Australia, is a leading voice & proponent behind the utilization of Cannabis for healthcare & well-being as a whole & in this episode, we dive into his background & story of moving through addiction & the typical medical model both for himself & his patients, his own journey into Cannabis & the profound benefits he has found within the plant & much, much more.Show Notes: (0:42) Dr. James Stewart’s Bio. (03:50) Dr. Stewart’s backstory. (10:35) Patients can relate to you on a deeper level. (14:18) Once a raver, always a raver! (27:33) Working with cannabis. (46:44) Trusting your heart. (01:01:21) Where you can connect with Dr. Stewart! (01:02:38) One final question… About Dr.JSDr. James Stewart (DrJS), Australia's three-time Doctor of the Year in Cannabis, has forged a groundbreaking career.
