The info we needed
I’m new to this and looking for guidance. The info shared is filling in so many gaps! Ty!
I know in your journey you have mentioned using cannabis along with diet adjustments. Any plans to include info/speakers that discuss this? Interested in learning how much you think diet plays a role or is just the introduction of medical cannabis impactful enough.
Looking forward to more topics!
