  How to Escape the Matrix     Take away: By examining our generational money stories and embracing tools like mindfulness, breathwork and psychedelic medicine, we can transcend limiting programs and unlock our infinite human potential.   Money Learnings: Mark Worster grew up with contradictory money messages from frugal, Depression-era grandparents on one side who saved obsessively, and free-spending grandparents on the other side who never saved, leaving him with a dysfunctional relationship with money. He had to balance the over-saving on one side and the over-spending on the other side.   Bio: Entrepreneur, Leader, Fitness Guru, Business/Life Coach, Psychedelic Healthcare Professional. Mark brings passion and joy to everything he does. From the Chairman of the Board of a $20mm health services agency to a Certified Yoga Instructor to a Keynote Speaker, Mark has accumulated an impressive array of diverse experiences.

Traditional Western medicine prefers the oral root of administration. And oral preps, unfortunately, present significant challenges, when it comes to the cannabinoids because of their chemical structures and the fact that they, at least in the oral preps, are in an aqueous environment.Today Dr. Johnson is going to help us understand those challenges, and review the pharmacokinetics and a few of the pharmacodynamics of the various cannabinoid formulations.

Jesse and Loren cohost this week with guest Piper Lindeen while Austin is out on vacation. Piper is a graduate from the University of Maryland masters of science program for Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics. Piper has been an advocate in Texas for cannabis change since the inception of the TCUP program when it was just intractable epilepsy. Her family was one of the first to enter the program and watch it change over the years. In this episode we talk about her background with her family and their journey, how she found out about this new medical program offered in Maryland, challenges she faced in the classes and getting accepted, along with the things that she learned that may open the eyes of cannabis advocates and the preconceived notions they have about the plant as a medical treatment. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Dr. Leah Johnson (known in the cannabis industry as “Dr. Leah”) is a trained Medical Cannabis Pharmacist and the owner and founder of Alchemist Consulting LLC. She is also an accomplished, highly driven Clinical Integrative Health Pharmacist, with primary focus in pain, mental health (depression, anxiety, insomnia, Autism, etc.) and geriatric medication management. Dr. Leah believes that complete physical/mental health and well-being can be influenced by the utilization of cannabis, as well as other herbal remedies and supplements, in conjunction with pharmaceutical medications. In an effort to improve the overall health and well-being of patients, Dr. Leah works with patients and their healthcare providers, from all over the US, to reduce the amount of medications taken, alter timing and dosing of medications to improve effectiveness, and identify medications which could be causing issues. She also works with cannabis companies to advise them on formulations, dosing, safety, interactions, and how to better help their customers see health improvements with the use of their products. Lastly Dr. Leah speaks at medical conferences and on panels to help educate providers and patients on the benefits of utilizing cannabis medicine in therapy. Her last speaking event was February 2022 at the annual ACA/ACVP/PPHI conference. Complete physical & mental health and well-being can be influenced by the utilization of cannabis, as well as other herbal remedies and supplements, in conjunction with pharmaceutical medications. Believes that most patients are given too many and inappropriate prescription medications, while not being given the knowledge for utilizing effective herbals and supplements to reduce pill burden. I also see that many patients are unable to get full relief of their ailments due to the missing components in their medication regimens. Works with patients and their healthcare providers, from all over the country, to reduce the amount of medications taken, alter timing and dosing of medications to improve effectiveness, and identify medications which could be causing issues. Also contracts with cannabis companies to advise them on dosing, safety, interactions, and how to better help their customers see health improvements with the use of their products. Holds Doctorate degree in Pharmacy from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and will be receiving my Masters degree in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics in 2023.

In this behind-the-scenes episode we are joined with pharmacist Dr. Codi Peterson to talk about how modern insights into the endocannabinoid system and endocannabinoidome are affecting how pharmacists think about modern medicine. Dr. Codi Peterson is a clinical pediatric pharmacist with diverse experiences across the pharmaceutical landscape. A Duquesne University graduate, Codi was trained in an academic teaching hospital where he learned alongside a team of healthcare professionals. Building upon general pediatric hospital experience, Codi advanced to emergency and critical care pharmacy where he found a passion for improving the pharmaceutical care of complex and dynamic patients. Leveraging his hospital experience, Codi has had the opportunity to pursue his passion for educating others. As a staff lecturer at Orange County Emergency Medical Training, Codi teaches paramedics and firefighters the knowledge and skills they need to employ safe drug therapy in the prehospital setting. Codi has an innate ability to translate complex pharmacological information into digestible concepts that are applicable in the field. Codi also lectures to respiratory therapists and pharmacy students in the SoCal area, sharing his knowledge at every possible occasion. Now turning his focus and skills from western medicine to a more functional and holistic therapeutic approach, Codi is enrolled at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy where he is obtaining his MS in Medical Cannabis Science & Therapeutics. He is the President of the Medical Cannabis Student Association at UMB, an active member of the International Society of Cannabis Pharmacists, as well as the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists. With his extensive pediatric experience, Codi is poised to bring a new and needed perspective to the cannabis space. While a proponent of individual rights, home grow, and global cannabis reform, Codi also aims to defend the sanctity of medical cannabis. Codi believes cannabis IS medicine, that all patients deserve access to medicine, and that includes access to trained healthcare professionals who are able to manage complex medical patients.

Meagan Lynn Pilawski is a member of the inaugural class at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy on her way to earning a Master of Science (MS) in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics from her home in Florida.Although not a career path she had envisioned when she was an oncology and palliative care nurse, it's a pivot that now seems predestined. In 2014, just three months after giving birth to her son, she was diagnosed with MS. By the time she was 26 years old she was on thirteen medications and felt that MS had gotten the better of her. Then, despite her best efforts, in 2018 Meagan's nursing career abruptly ended. But a new journey began. On this episode Meagan shares with Joyce and Dave her story of transformation and healing, and how it feels to be a pioneer in the world of treating cannabis as a pharmaceutical. And, Meagan explains why her son knows that cannabis is mommy's “stinky medicine”, what her big idea about Delta 8 and women's health is, and Joyce shares her favorite thing this week, The Buddy by Cool Buddy Party.Topics DiscussedWelcome [1:25]Bekah Hess Intro and She is Cool!
