Dr. Carolina Nocetti's journey, deeply rooted in the therapeutic potential of natural compounds, began in the lush landscapes of the Amazon forest. Initially, she focused on developing and exporting fruit extracts like Açaí to the US. Eventually, her interests branched out into the realm of medicinal cannabis.

After earning certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates and navigating the rigorous steps of the US medical boards, Dr. Nocetti planted herself in the vibrant cannabis hubs of Colorado and California.

During her decade in the US, she cultivated extensive hands-on experience in product development and served as a technical consultant and medical director, contributing to innovative cannabis products.

Now firmly planted in Brazil, Dra. Nocetti's clinical practice blossoms with a focus on cannabinoid therapeutics, particularly for older adults. She works to provide personalized care, aiming to nurture the quality of life for her patients.

Additionally, she offers corporate technical consultancy, leads educational initiatives, and advocates for cannabis. Her advocacy includes participating in public hearings and contributing to technical materials for the Brazilian Senate, House of Representatives, and São Paulo State Assembly.

THANK YOU!
Dr. Carolina Nocetti

In this episode we speak with retired Army Colonel, Dr. Philip Blair, MD, a Family Physician, complex disease management consultant and remarkable cannabis medicine expert in the Pacific Northwest providing services globally. 

After graduating from West Point he trained as an Army Family Physician, and served as a combat doctor during the 1st Gulf War. He retired from the Army as a Colonel after serving as a medical officer on three continents. In 2014 Dr. Blair began studying, treating, and lecturing about the human endocannabinoid system and the non-impairing parts of the plant, including cannabidiol, CBD. 

Dr. Blair believes that Endocannabinoid System disorders are the root cause of many chronic medical problems, and his goal is to restore quality of life and health using diet, exercise, appropriate medications, and non-impairing, herbal nutritional supplements including the plant terpene, beta-caryophyllene, in a product derived from hops. You can find links in the description.

Clinically, Dr. Blair has treated thousands of patients with CBD and has seen remarkable results with people living with dementia. He has a passion about treating dementia and advocating for the use of cannabinoids in the treatment and prevention of neuro degenerative conditions of all kinds. 

Dr. Blair encourages the use of cannabinoids and terpenes to improve patient care, reduce stress, improve behavior, and prevent staff burnout. He reminds us that CBD has great benefits for caregivers as well. We thank him for his time and continued work bringing plant medicine back for treating multiple conditions including dementia. Find his products at Blair Medical Group.com or follow our links in the description.



Did you know that dementia disproportionately impacts women, black, and latino people? Did you know that cannabis was made illegal because of racist policy? 


Lives are still being ruined because of prohibitionist propaganda even after cannabis started to become decriminalized, and are still to this day. Racial groups targeted by these draconian policies seem to have lots of cultural stigma remaining that prevents them from making use of plant medicine.


Despite cannabis medicine being legal in more than 2/3rds of U.S. States, in order for people living with dementia to get some relief today, we need to get cannabis de-scheduled, and open up the Schedule I of Drugs for research. We must end the Drug War.


Contact your Senators, Representatives and the President to let them know that you want to de-schedule cannabis and open up the Schedule I for research at the very least.

We first met Dr. Genester Wilson-King through the Society of Cannabis Clinicians where she is the co-vice president. I had recently become an advocate member of the SCC, a non-profit that works to empower and educate healthcare providers on the use of cannabis medicine.  Dr. Wilson-King was presenting on cannabis medicine, pregnancy and breastfeeding - which as you know is not our area of focus but her presentation was incredibly compelling and opened our eyes to new things. Later, we connected in person at CannMed 2019. 

Dr. Genester Wilson-King, MD is a Board-Certified Obstetrician and gynecologist with over 25 years of clinical experience providing compassionate and research-driven care to patients. After years of working as a full-service OB/GYN, she founded Victory Rejuvenation Center, a private holistic and preventive medicine practice that provides life-transforming management modalities and customized medicines to patients. 

As the Medical Director of VRC, she helps her patients age gracefully and achieve holistic wellbeing. Her expertise focuses on plant-based medicine, integrated health, nutrition, supplements, cannabis education, and hormone balance. Dr. Wilson-King primarily uses FDA approved compounded plant-based medicines and pharmaceutical grade supplements. 

Dr. Wilson-King is a clinician advocate and educator on medical cannabis. She has spent extensive time in processing facilities, labs, farms, and dispensaries across the country and in Israel. In addition to being Co-Vice President of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians, she is also on the Board of the Doctors For Cannabis Regulation (DFCR), the first and only national physicians’ association dedicated to the legalization and regulation of cannabis for adults. Advancing the DFCR’s commitment to addressing the disproportionate criminalization of cannabis use among communities of color and the nation’s poor, she regularly provides expert opinions for legal cases involving cannabis.

THANK YOU!
