Exploring Cannabis & Exercise Whitney

Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.
This week I’m happy to share my conversation with Jay from @liftinglifted on Instagram. We connected on Instagram because he makes great shirts for fit stoners to wear to the gym. 
In this episode we talk about his experiences going from being a Marine to learning about cannabis and exercise and using his creativity to create Lifting Lifted. We also talk about what the weed scene is like in Texas which was WILD to learn about. 
If you’re hearing this before Wednesday April 3rd, 2024 and want to help fund cannabis research, you can donate to the Humboldt Institute for Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research (HIIMR) on The Day of Giving. 
I’m gearing up to launch a few cannabis and exercise studies and am slowly building a team of students to help me including my newest graduate student who just got accepted to our masters program at Cal Poly Humboldt Jorge! So your donations will help us turn our ideas into reality! 
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this episode and make good choices out there!

**Friendly reminder/disclaimer** I am not suggesting everyone use cannabis with exercise. Cannabis is definitely not for everyone. But if you're curious about your own use, understanding more about why people use cannabis with exercise, or want to learn about the latest research in the field, you're in the right place. Make good choices out there.

Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Dr. Hilary Marusak who is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences at Wayne State University (WSU) School of Medicine in Detroit Michigan.
 We connected a few years ago after her research team published a review paper on the effects of exercise on the endocannabinoid system. 
In this episode we talk about her research related to cannabis and the endocannabinoid system in stress and brain development, the hard parts about doing cannabis-based research, and as always so many ideas for future research. You’ll also hear some great midwestern accents.

Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.
Today I have a fan favorite guest Dupree Stewart back on to talk about why he decided to cut back on cannabis to help with his MMA training. If you go back to the 5th episode of the podcast, Dupree talked about how he used cannabis to help manage pain, to eat, and to recover with his training. Then, I ran into Dupree at Costco a few months ago and he said that he stopped smoking and went pro in MMA. So, obviously, I had to have him back on the show to talk about that experience. 
One of the big take aways I got from this conversation is the power of having other tools in the toolbox. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, cannabis is just one tool in the toolbox of health and sometimes you need different tools. 
So this is a great listen if you’re considering taking a break from cannabis with exercise and interested in learning to use some other tools in the toolbox.

As always, hope you enjoy and make good choices out there.

Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data.
This week I am so excited to share my conversation with my colleague Dr. Ronnie Swartz, who is a professor of Social Work at Cal Poly Humboldt. Ronnie and I met through HIIMR and have worked on cannabis-related studies, grants, and public health education together. 
Because we come from different disciplines, we have different language and windows into the world of cannabis. So in this episode you’ll have the opportunity to learn about concepts like opioid-sparing effects and drug-set-and-setting. 
And like all other episodes of this podcast, we have so many more ideas for research moving forward. 
As always, hope you enjoy and make good choices out there.

Welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise, the podcast where the anecdotes meet the data. When I first started getting into cannabis & exercise research in 2017, there really wasn’t that much out there in research, but there were instagram accounts like our guest’s @Bells_Bongs _Buds and hashtags like #fitstoner or #420fitness or #cannathlete.
I am so happy to share this conversation with Johnny from Bells, Bongs, & Buds.
We cover a lot of ground from spartan races to lifting weights, the process of finding the right terpene profile of cannabis to pair with exercise, our shared love for working out to Korn, and getting greencarded. :)
In the introduction, I also go into more detail on terpenes, the status of cannabinoid profiles in cannabis & exercise research, and how one might go about finding the right strain to pair with exercise. Highly recommend the Tetragram App to help you track how different cannabis strains impact you (and you can go back to my episode with founder Otha in November 2023 to learn more). 

Enjoy and make good choices out there.

Hello and welcome back to exploring cannabis and exercise! The podcast where the anecdotes meet the data. And happy new year! 
So for my first episode of the year, I thought we’d start the new year with a new cannabis researcher at University of Colorado - Devon Rapken. I met Devon at the Cannabis Research Conference in Denver last summer and we have stayed in touch ever since. In this conversation, we talk about our interest in the brain, cannabis and body awareness, increasing diversity in research, and getting better at playing the piano. 
Hope you enjoy and make good choices out there.
note: I'll be releasing episodes every other week this spring and will be ramping up episodes about the Olympics and cannabis this summer. Email me cannabisandexercise@gmail.com or DM me  on Instagram any questions you'd like answered for my Olympics episodes.
