    Overeating When High: Two Things That Seem Like the Munchies But Aren’t -Episode 123

    If you use cannabis and can’t stop eating at night, you’ve probably blamed the munchies — but what if it isn’t the munchies at all? In this episode, I break down two patterns that mimic the munchies but are actually driven by underfueling and your brain’s hardwired reward system, and what to do instead so you can finally feel in control around food. Episode Highlights • The binge-restrict cycle explained — why eating too little during the day is what’s actually driving your nighttime overeating, not cannabis • How underfueling triggers your brain’s primal survival response, making food feel completely out of control after dark • Why you reach for high-salt, high-sugar, low-nutritional-value foods when you’re high — and why that’s your dopamine reward system, not the munchies • How food manufacturers deliberately engineer products to exploit that reward-seeking response • Why trying to compensate with extra workouts and skipping meals the next day keeps the cycle going • The strategy I use to break the cycle — adding food back in during the day so the brain stops going into panic mode at night • Why planning and prepping snacks before you consume puts you back in control of what happens after Find CannaFit Beth! 🌿 Green & Lean virtual coaching program: cannafitnessnutrition.com/green-and-lean 📱 Instagram: @Beth_cannafitnessnutrition ▶️ YouTube: @Beth_CannaFit 🎙️ Canna Fitness and Nutrition Podcast — available wherever you listen

    Cannabis and Clean Eating: How to Use Cannabis as a Wellness Tool for Healthier Choices - Ep 121

    Think cannabis and clean eating can’t coexist? Think again. In this episode, Beth Jasinski — personal trainer, cannabis educator, and founder of CannaFit — breaks down the real science behind cannabis, cravings, and how to use the plant’s natural sensory-enhancing properties to actually eat better, not worse. Key Takeaways: The munchies are misunderstood. The munchies aren’t a loss of control — they’re heightened sensory awareness. Cannabis amplifies hunger signals and the pleasure of food, which you can use to your advantage. Big Food is the real villain. Junk food is engineered with fat, sugar, and salt to hijack your brain’s dopamine response. That craving you feel — high or not — is food science, not weakness. Your brain and your stomach are not on the same team. Your brain chases the dopamine hit; your stomach pays the price. Clean eating starts with learning to listen to your body over your brain. Cannabis can help you tune in. THC heightens physical sensation throughout your body — including in your digestive system. That’s a tool you can use to catch discomfort earlier and make better choices in the moment. Behavior change is a pattern, not an accident. You have to consciously close the gap between the thought and the action. Pause, check in with your stomach, and remind your brain of the last time it steered you wrong. Both CBD and THC can support clean eating — you don’t have to get high to benefit from cannabis as a wellness tool.

    You’ve Already Been Getting High on Your Runs: Cannabis & the Science of the Runner’s High - Ep 119

    What actually causes a runner’s high—and why does it feel so powerful? In this episode, we break down the real science behind the runner’s high, including how your body produces its own cannabis-like compounds through the Endocannabinoid System. You’ll learn how endocannabinoids like anandamide—not just endorphins—create that calm, clear, euphoric state so many runners chase. We also connect the dots between movement, stress regulation, and intentional cannabis use—so you can understand why cannabis can recreate that same grounded, “I feel like myself again” feeling… without needing a long run. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel better after movement—or why cannabis helps you relax, focus, or feel more in control around food—this episode will give you the missing link. What You’ll Learn * What the runner’s high actually is (and what most people get wrong) * The role of the Endocannabinoid System in mood, motivation, and stress * How anandamide affects your brain and body * Why endorphins alone don’t explain the runner’s high * How cannabis interacts with the same system * The runner’s high isn’t just a fitness perk—it’s a nervous system shift driven by your body’s own cannabinoids. When you understand how to support that system (through movement, fueling, and intentional cannabis use), everything from mood to eating habits becomes easier.
