Medical marijuana has been a game changer for people with conditions like insomnia, anxiety and chronic pain. Why properties make it such a powerful antidote? How do you use it without getting high on it? Why is correct dosing so critical? On this episode, The Medical Marijuana Expert, Dr. Rachna Patel joins us to discuss her work. You have to use medical marijuana within certain parameters to get the benefits of it but not the adverse effects. -Dr Rachna Patel Takeaways For patients with heart disease, too much marijuana can actually increase your heart rate and exacerbate underlying conditions. You don’t have to have marijuana on a daily basis because it gets stored in the fat cells of your body. People who experience lot of pain have more cannabinoid receptors. These help your body hamper pain signals. At the start of the show, Dr. Rachna shared how she got started, and how her frustration with opiate addiction and overdoses led her to her work with medical marijuana. Next, she shared on the conditions she most commonly treats, as well as the people who shouldn’t use marijuana. We also discussed how marijuana affects sleep and concentration levels. Towards the end of the show, Dr. Rachna shared how she’s taking her business virtual. We also discussed; The cumulative build-up effect of marijuana How marijuana affects the emotional processing of pain Marijuana and its connection to increased cognition Chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia are the most common conditions that medical marijuana treats. These are also the conditions for which pharmaceutical medications are most prescribed. This means that if the use of medical marijuana became more widespread, it could potentially replace all of those medications. This could literally wean millions of Americans off addictive and lethal opiates, and this would completely transform the current medical system. Marijuana has a biphasic effect, too little won’t do anything and too much will make your pain worse. That’s why it’s so important to get the dosing on point, so that your intake falls within the optimal dosing range. Ultimately, you want to fall in the therapeutic window so you’re not experiencing side effects. Guest Bio Dr. Rachna Patel has been practicing in the field of Medical Marijuana since 2012.

Marijuana has now been legalized for medical use in 29 U.S. states (plus D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico) and legalized recreationally in eight (twice as many as when this episode was originally released just last year). In light of these policy developments, marijuana has become the subject of much public debate within the political and medical arenas throughout the last several years. Like acupuncture, definitive medical research on medical marijuana is still relatively scarce, which leaves a lot of people both curious about and wary of its use. In this episode, Brodie talks with Dr. Rachna Patel, a medical marijuana expert, about how she uses medical marijuana in her treatment protocols and what people should know about using medical marijuana. In this episode, we explore: How marijuana works in the body Separating fact from fiction regarding marijuana use What conditions medical marijuana may help treat Where marijuana use isn't backed up by medical research Dr. Rachna Patel has been practicing in the field of Medical Marijuana since 2012.

Marijuana is being decriminalized and even legalized in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world very quickly—and for good reason. The law enforcement costs are many billions of dollars annually and the social impact of criminalizing this plant seem far worse than potential abuse (which is surprisingly low). On this week's Yoga Talk Show, we'll talk about the top medical uses for Marijuana, how to use it without getting high, and why legalization might actually reduce (not increase) drug use since marijuana provides an alternative to harmful pharmaceutical drugs. ------------ What You´ll Learn: Top treated conditions: anxiety, pain, and insomnia The difference between THC and CBD Why most people are using way too much and getting scared away How cannabis can help with seizure disorders How to get started safely with edibles Links & Resources: Dr. Patel´s Site ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Patel is a Osteopathic Doctor in the state of California.

The debate around medicial marijuana is far from new. An increasingly number of doctors are now supporting medical marijuana, arguing that it can be a safe and effective treatment for the symptoms of cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, pain, glaucoma, epilepsy, and more. On the other side of the debate stand those that are concerned about its addictive qualities, interferes with daily functioning, and injures parts of the body including lungs, immune system and brain. I personally was intrigued when Dr. Rachna Patel, a medical marjiuana doctors reached out to me to share her expertise. Join me as we discuss this controversial topic and I ask Dr. Patel: What is the difference in quality etc. between regular marijuana grown in someone's backyard, street marijuana, and medical marijuana?Who shouldn't use it? What about addiction? How does one avoid/determine addiction to it?Is Cannibis oil the same? What about products with Cannabidiol?As a spiritual healer, it is well known that using psychoactive drugs like marijuana damages the 6th chakra and opens up a person to entity attachments which can then lead to all sorts of problems including addictions. I would be reticent to prescribe any sort of drug that would do that - so how do I know MM is safe? And more! We will also be opening up the phone lines to have your questions answered. Know someone who is interested in this topic? Share this free resource with them, they will thank you for it! Want to learn more about Dr. Patel's work? Visit: www.DrRachnaPatel.com
On today’s episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Rachna Patel joins me to discuss common misconceptions of medical marijuana. Dr. Patel has been practicing in the area of Medical Marijuana since 2012 and step-by-step walks patients through how to use medical marijuana for their specific medical condition. In this episode, we discuss: -How medical marijuana functions in the body -Conditions that can be treated with medical marijuana and surprising outcomes -What the side effects of medical marijuana are and how to avoid them - Alternatives to smoking medical marijuana -Why lab-tested medical grade marijuana is very different from what’s found on the streets -And so much more! The therapeutic range for medical marijuana varies from patient to patient. A practitioner can help find the optimal ratio of the THC and CBD components of the plant which work best for the patient. Dr. Patel states, “You can adjust the effect that the medication will have on you based on the proportions of these different chemicals.” One of the practical benefits of medical marijuana is the fact that, “These chemicals are fat soluble… Patients don’t have to take this medication every day. Once you take it, you have stores of it in your body.” Medical marijuana has proven to be less addictive and have fewer side effects. From Dr. Patel’s clinical experience, there is growing evidence that medical marijuana could serve as a potential alternative to opioids. “When I was reading the research studies, a couple studies I came across said that when medical marijuana is used in conjunction with opioids, the marijuana helps to reduce the dose of the opioids that you have to use. What I found surprisingly, patients were able to come off of a lot of these pain medications and just use medical marijuana in its place.“ There are potentially many patient populations that could benefit from the use of medical marijuana. For some conditions like fibromyalgia, medical marijuana has revolutionized patient treatment plans. “I expected [medical marijuana] to be a part of the arsenal, I didn't expect it to be the only tool in the arsenal that these patients were using.” For more information on Dr. Patel: Dr. Rachna Patel has been practicing in the area of Medical Marijuana since 2012.
