040_The Healing Powers of Cannabis with Bryan Hardy

If you've ever been curious about the benefits of medical marijuana or Cannabidiol (CBD) and what it can do for you, check out my podcast with Bryan Hardy.   Bryan is a holistic nutritionist and wellness coach who specializes in helping busy professions revitalize their gut and hormones in order to help combat anxiety and depression, experience joy and improve performance. He is also an avid biohacker and host of the Redefining Reality Podcast.   Using what many would say are "unconventional" methods of treatment, Bryan is able to help clients -- both in person and online -- address the root cause of their health challenges and create sustainable lifestyle changes.   Bryan's journey into health began when his appendix ruptured, leading to widespread infection, including candida overgrowth, parasites, and bowel obstructions. Additionally, Bryan suffered from bouts of anxiety, depression, adrenal fatigue and low testosterone. It's from these things he learned from his own challenges that motivated him to educate, coach and empower others to take control of their health, body, and mind.   During our podcast, Bryan and I talk a lot about cannabinoids and other natural plants that have therapeutic healing powers. We also dive deep into alternative treatments for inflammation and anxiety and the importance of deep tissue massage and fascial stretch therapy.
