Cannabis Nutrigenomics: How Your Genes Affect Your High | David Krantz ~ ATTMind 111 - a podcast by James W. Jesso
from 2019-11-22T08:30
David Krantz and I talk about how genetics affect the metabolism of cannabis (nutrigenomics) and the resulting impact of cannabis use on our epigenetic health. Furthermore, we reach into a discussion on how the same framework of understanding applies to our metabolism of psychedelics and the potential future of a genome-specific screening program for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Episode Breakdown
- a general rundown of nutritional genomics and its application in understanding biology
- the profound health issues David faced that brought him into nutritional genomics
- (special note about the value of understanding polyvagal theory)
- the failure of the pre-packed dietary approach, be it veganism, paleo, or low-carb
- the endocannabinoid system
- the genetic differences of cannabis metabolism between different people
- why some people can “smoke weed every day” and make millions, and others can’t get off the couch
- how cannabis effects working memory differently in different genetic predispositions in each people based on baseline dopamine levels
- how our brain hides from itself
- the phenomena of “used to smoke all the time without issues then all of a sudden cannabis creates anxiety and paranoia”
- epigenetics and how cannabis changes how our genes express
- the genetic variant that increases the chances of developing cannabis-induced psychosis
- genetic profiling as a screening platform to understand what medical intervention would be most helpful for specific people
- the institutional complications that might prevent the introduction of genetic-specific medical care into the medical infrastructure
- how these ideas fit inside the modern context of the climate crisis
- how do genetic profiles influence dose-response differences with psychedelics
- speculating on the long term epigenetic impact of psilocybin use
- speculating on the long term epigenetic impact of therapeutic/healing work
