The Endocannabinoid System with Dr. Jake Felice

In this episode I welcome on one of my longtime colleagues Jake Felice, ND, LMP. Dr. Felicie is one of the OG’s of medicinal cannabis. In this episode we go into the Endocannabinoid system (ECS), A 600-million-year-old system that is a “harm-reduction” system as Dr. Felice likes to call it in this article https://ndnr.com/pain-medicine/the-endocannabinoid-system-self-regulating-harm-protection/“ As a stress reduction system, the ECS responds positively not only to cannabinoids, but also to diet, lifestyle, and physical medicine interventions .” We also discuss include terpenes and flavonoids, as well as other non-cannabis botanicals that also affect this receptor system. We talk about Cannabidiol (CBD), Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) and how they act on the ECS for medicinal benefits. Specifically we go into  known safety profile, how to maximize patient tolerability, how to achieve efficacy, cannabis topicals, other delivery modalities, and relative contraindications. In addition, we discuss the “Entourage effect”.  This topic is so much more than you think! About Dr. Felice: Jake F.
