Stress&sleep: geeking out on Chinese herbs, cannabis - a podcast by Brodie Welch, L.Ac.
from 2020-01-15T10:00
For both men and women, it's tough to slow down. The effects of not slowing down can end up seeping into our lives in aspects like stress and trouble sleeping which can put us in a fog. When we're in that fog and it seems like the windshield is covered with bugs, it's difficult to find balance and what Stacey Donelson calls our true north.
Stacey acts as a helper and a historian through her Good Life Acupuncture and Wellness Center and Good Life Botanicals practices to help lift that fog and clear the windshield. She shares some really valuable, actionable advice as well as some details on our endocannabinoid system and how it relates to acupuncture.
On Today’s Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:
- Some of the patterns that are often expressed in people with stress and sleep trouble
- The overlap she’s seen in approaches to sleep between Western and Chinese Medicine
- What phlegm is in Chinese Medicine and how it can be mistaken for Yin deficiency
- Why our need to rebuild our sense of community is so strong these days
- How she got started incorporating CBD into her herb formulas
