    S5E34 – The Endocannabinoid System & Coherence: How to Keep Your Body in Tune

    Your body was designed to operate in harmony — every heartbeat, breath, and cell playing its part in a biological symphony. The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is the conductor that keeps that music coherent. In this episode of Chip Talks Health, Chip Paul explains what coherence really means and how it shapes your health, mood, and energy. Discover why balancing Omega-3s and Omega-6s, replenishing amino acids, and maintaining B + C vitamins are essential to cellular communication. When coherence breaks down through malnutrition or infection, static replaces harmony. Chip shares how to restore your rhythm using nutrition, breathwork, and simple daily practices that strengthen your ECS. Highlights: What coherence means in biology and energyThe ECS as the body’s master regulatorHow cells “raise their hand” through CB1 receptorsEssential nutrients that build cellular harmonyTrueMedX formulas designed to support coherenceTools for detecting incoherence (bioresonance, thermal imaging) Resources Mentioned: 💊 TrueMedX Core Nutrition Bundle → https://truemedx.com/collections/bundles/products/core-nutrition-bundle-daily-brain-body-fuel 🔬 Neighborly Wellness Clinic → https://www.neighborlywellness.com/ 📘 Related Episode: The Cellular Collective (S5E16) → https://truemedx.com/blogs/endocannabinoid-health/cellular-collective-endocannabinoid-system 🔗 Ready to go deeper?
