Episode 29: Women’s Hormone Health and the ECS: A Missing Pillar in Care

from Effective Cannabis · host Debi Wimberley

In this conversation, Debi Wimberley and Dr. Amanda Reiman explore why women’s hormonal health must be understood across the lifespan and how the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) serves as a critical yet often missing pillar of care. Women’s health is often discussed in stages. Puberty. Reproductive years. Pregnancy. Perimenopause. Menopause. But biology does not operate in compartments. The body functions as an intelligent regulatory network in which hormones, neural signaling, the immune response, and environmental adaptation work together.   About Amanda Reiman Amanda Reiman, PhD, is the founder of Personal Plants, an education platform focused on helping people develop healthy, balanced relationships with Cannabis. Dr. Reiman earned her PhD in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley, and conducted one of the first research studies on medical Cannabis patients and the use of Cannabis as a substitute for alcohol and other drugs. She has recently published a textbook on harm reduction approaches to working with adolescents who use substances.
