In episode 12 of the Anti-Aging Podcast we have Part 2 of my episode with Dr. Mike Nelson.
At AHS Dr. Mike presented on the topic “CBD & Cannabinoids: Beneficial or Hype?” The topic instantly drew my attention, mainly because CBD and cannabinoids are all over the media and in our culture these days, and I honestly know very little about the topic.
Dr. Mike has his PhD in Exercise Physiology, a BA in Natural Science, and an MS in Biomechanics. He’s an adjunct professor and a member of the American College of Sports Medicine. Dr. Mike is a self proclaimed research fanatic who specializes in metabolic flexibility and heart rate variability. He is an accomplished online trainer, adjunct professor, and faculty member at the Carrick Institute.
Some highlights from the episode:
Athletic Benefits: What does the evidence suggest? Hard data or no?
Transdermal CBD: How effective is it to take CBD using a cream or gel?
FDA Complications: Why there is so much gray area with labeling, and how to find a product that actually does what it says.
CBD Isolates: Is it possible to find a pure CBD compound, completely free of THC?
Dosing: How much to take for sleep, general health, and for acute anxiety.
Inhaling For Delivery: How does inhaling compare to ingesting. What are the benefits, what are the drawbacks?
Cannabinoids vs Opioids: Why our health care system is not set-up for your success. You have to take matters into your own hands when your physician’s hands may be tied legally.
You can always find Dr. Mike through his website www.miketnelson.com and you can find him on IG as “drmiketnelson”I finish the episode with Tomko Tip #12 where I talk about why it's so important to embrace and use failures as you go through life.
