Endocannabinoid Deficiency
The body is in a constant quest for balance — or in Biological terms, “homeostasis.” Homeostasis depends on your body maintaining a stable internal environment. The endocannabinoid system is very easy to throw out of balance. Causes of imbalance include emotional stress, poor diet, recreational and pharmaceutical drugs, disease, and genetics. Here are common symptoms that may be related to an endocannabinoid deficiency.

Approach
Cannabis
Recreational & Medicinal Resources
Chronic stress hijacks the nervous system causing it to be on constant "fight or flight." This impairs metabolism, cognitive thinking, mood and behavior. It can also creates muscle tension and weaken immune system.
Cannabis works with the Endocannabinoid system to create homeostasis thereby bringing the mind/body back into balance so that you find relief from symptoms of chronic stress.
Movement
Yoga & Dance
Mindful movement connects you to the vital flow of energy in your body and allows you to better pinpoint areas of tension and discomfort.
Yoga is an ancient practice that research shows:
• Reduces Stress
• Improves focus and attention
• Regulates the immune & endocrine system
• Improves posture, strength, flexibility, and overall fitness
Dance stimulates natural "feel good" hormones in the body like Dopamine & Serotonin. Easy to follow dance classes like Zumba make it simple to enjoy the health benefits of dance. This is fun and uplifting movement that promotes cardiovascular health.
Mindset
Mindfulness Meditation Training
"Knowledge is power and self-knowledge is self-empowerment." - Dr. Bruce Lipton
Mindfulness meditation is a mental training practice that focuses the mind on experiences in the present moment.
Studies show that a Mindfulness meditation practice can reduce symptoms of chronic stress (insomnia, weight gain, anxiety, depression) and improve overall health & happiness.
