Are you canna-curious? Put aside the stigma and discover the powerful
potential of weed.
For centuries, the marijuana plant has been revered for its healing
properties, but it’s also been criminalized, abused, and misunderstood.
Although cannabis is now legal in much of the United States, many
people are still confused about how to access it and unsure about how
to use it safely and effectively. Enter Reefer Wellness, an
all-encompassing guide to cannabis from scientist and researcher, Dr.
Riley Kirk.
With colorful illustrations and everyday language, Reefer Wellness
challenges the stereotypes about pot use and breaks down the
complexities of cannabis for anyone who’s ever wondered if weed could
help them relax or relieve chronic ailments. Whether you’re an everyday
user or just starting out on your healing journey with cannabis, you’ll
find answers to your questions and science-backed evidence to support
your use. In it, you’ll get:
- An introduction to the endocannabinoid system (ECS), the powerful
regulatory system in the human body that controls everything from
hunger signals to pain
- A clear, visual explanation of how the molecular components of
cannabis interact with the ECS, making it a uniquely powerful tool for
healing
- Guidance on how to consume cannabis, including the pros and cons
of different delivery systems and how to customize your dosage
- An overview of ailments that can be addressed with cannabis, such
as chronic pain, sleep disorders, and insomnia

munchies, bloodshot eyes, and cottonmouth

It took a viral pandemic to reinvigorate the evidence that a low-carb,
high-fat (LCHF) diet may be a ‘vaccine’ against ill health and
premature death. The Eat Right Revolution exposes the real pandemic we
should all worry about: it’s not another coronavirus, but a
diet-related medical condition that threatens people’s life expectancy
and well-being globally.
The Eat Right Revolution sets out a quick, safe, cheap and effective
investment you can make for lifelong health in body and mind. It
exposes the root causes of chronic, life-threatening comorbidities,
such as obesity, type-2 diabetes, heart disease and more, and explains
why LCHF and ketogenic diets can be safer, more effective solutions
than drugs to beat these diseases.
With recipes, food lists and meal plans, as well as updated,
personalised do’s and don’ts on the right LCHF approach for each
individual, this book is an essential guide to living a longer,
stronger, healthier life.
