From Athlete to Advocate with Anna Symonds

This week I'm talking with Anna Symonds - former elite rugby player and current advocate and educator about cannabis use in sport. We talked about her experience with cannabis as an athlete, our shared goal of destigmatizing cannabis use, and all of the amazing organizations she's working with.  You can follow her on Instagram @exitdrug Organizations mentioned in the show:Athletes for CareLast Prisoner ProjectConcussion Legacy Foundation The Etheridge Foundation To learn more about Dr. Ogle, visit www.whitneyogle.com You can follow us on Instagram @exploringcannabisandexerciseHost: Whitney Ogle DPT, PhDProducer: Haley MontowskiMusic: "Bonfire Cauliflower" by Isaac JoelSupport the show on Patreon 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.
