Can Cannabis Help You Lose Weight?

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is the master regulatory system in the body. This intricate system is designed to keep the body in balance by conducting cellular communication throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. With receptors attached to nearly all of our cells, this vast system regulates and controls our physiology, mood, and everyday interactions and experiences.

But can this plant actually help us lose weight or keep slim?

Feeling lethargic, cranky, foggy and achy? You may need more biodiversity in your diet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mushrooms are the perfect additive to any diet lacking that living biology. Paired with micro greens, sprouted grains, and fermented foods will give you the clarity you need. 🌈🍄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remember, you are entirely made of stardust, a walking universe. Let the food you eat reflect that. Mushrooms and photo by @dunksmushrooms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #eattherainbow #eatmoremushrooms #shrooms #colorful
Harvest Moon 🌝 by @havstadhatco @casadfamilyfarms + @onda.wellness ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just drove my son and me right out of California, and I can’t lie I cried like a little babe. Hugged my mom good-by and set out just a few hours ago. Next stop, Colorado 🏔 (okay more like Utah, then Colorado tomorrow). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Doing my best to be my best, and forgiving myself when I’m not. I wrote a fun article about optimal consciousness and CBD for @onda.wellness that I’m trying to channel during this transition. Link in bio ♥️ wish us luck. #motherindica #onthemove #colorado
Yesterday was National Suicide Prevention Day, and though I realize my wounds are not yet healed enough to share my personal experiences on this, & that today marks 18 years since 9/11, I feel called to share some thoughts on how we can navigate such heart wrenching times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Cry. It may be hard, and it may take time + space to allow yourself flow, but release what you can through your tears. This is an ancient method of moving out stuck emotion and cleansing the body. Watch a sad movie, read a compelling book, cut some onions. Just cry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Touch. Hug your children, snuggle your pup, get a massage.. whatever it may be that needs stimulation, find that stimulation through safety and comfort. This helps move the traumas through so that you are able to cry the rest out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Look. Set your IG feed to feed you only what brings you joy and inspiration (muting is powerful), observe nature & children, the purest forms of life. Look at old photos of yourself, ones that remind you of the beautiful times you’ve had. This helps you remember your own magic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Speak. My biggest obstacle is my ‘inability’ to speak. It’s only in the last two years that I’ve begun practicing this. It’s still hard and words sometimes get stuck. I say, just talking out loud. Speak to yourself, to your children, pets, to your friends and family, maybe to a psychiatrist. Keep flexing that throat energy and you will find your release and truth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Breathe. I used to hold my breath until I passed out. I didn’t know how to cry, how to be touched, how to look back at myself, or speak. However it was the lack of breathing that I’d lose consciousness over. I’m learning so much about the power of breath that I am finally moving through my own limitations and traumas. I now practice with my son, too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is often the most simplest of measures we fail to recognize that are the most powerful tools in rehabilitation. Just keep these 5 things in mind whenever life’s challenges arise. Just keep the motion alive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yesterday & today have been triggering for me, so I practiced by looking at old photos of myself before the depression took over. ✨Image by @aolanow (Con’t👇)
To open your heart is to dissipate all calcified resentment, remorse, and regret. To open your heart is to connect with the presence of the divine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been taking Libido Femme for three months now, and I can’t remember the last time I felt this open and in love with life. About four months ago I removed a birth control implant I had on my inner left arm. I had that in for 1.5 years because it was making me feel so removed from myself. Closed off and unbothered by emotion and feelings of desire. I just didn’t care enough to love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So to really feel and move through this new motion is a true blessing. I thank so much of it to Libido Femme. So so much of it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Libido Femme is a Chinese herbal topical made by @drjaninemahon in collaboration with @onda.wellness. The ingredients 〰️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tian Men Dong replenishes Yin and promotes healthy fluids and radiant skin ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dang Gui builds blood, improves circulation, complexion, cramps and PMS ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mei Gui Hua calms the spirit, relieves irritability and promotes overall well being ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Luo Shi Teng clears heat in the meridian and reduces restlessness and irritability ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yi Lan Yi Lan relieves depression and anxiety and promotes overall well being ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tian Shu Kui reduces fatigue and depression, and releases fear/ agitation ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ge Hua alleviates anxiety and promotes a smooth flow of Qi to uplift the spirit ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + Sunflower Seed Oil | Rice Bran Oil | Onda Whole Hemp CBD Oil ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The moral of this story is for the women- take back your health and vitality. We are not victims to our own mentality, to our birth controls and social expectations. We are beautiful creatures deserving to feel and to be felt. To love and to be loved. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe over to see how I apply LF daily (to my fav song ever, Harvest Moon by Neil Young) & visit the #linkinbio to read my interview with Dr. Janine Mahon 💫 use code MOTHER20 for 20% off 💫
Those who eat together, love together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meet sweet Bubo. 🐤 My cockatiel family member of 15 some years. He loves squawking at toes and munching lettuce (and paper). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My lunch: homemade pesto pasta with spring mix, cashews, tomatoes, parma and balsamic. 🌱 #letseat #letuslove #bettertogether #motherindica
Cannabis, it’s a love affair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I owe nearly everything to this lady friend. My livelihood, my source of medicine, my mental healing, and now my full time career. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She’s how I pay the bills and buy my family’s food. She’s how I channel my creativity and find my voice. How I inspire others to love themselves, and how I find the courage to love myself, too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s through this plant that I’ve met so many beautiful folks. People who care so much about the health and future of this world. Who believe in plant magic and work tirelessly to shift the collective prospective by breaking down barriers and properly educating the masses. It is a true beauty and honor to be here. With her and with you all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A question I often get is how to enter the cannabis industry. My best advice is to lead with passion, educate yourself on the plant (through legit resources), and to enter doing what you’re already great at. You don’t even need to touch the plant to make a difference in this space. You just need heart and understanding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been living on the road this past month, and it’s looking like we’ll finally be moving to Colorado in just one week. Oakland to Boulder. If this isn’t cannabis destiny, I don’t know what is. 🍃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Necessary disclaimer: no, I don’t sell cannabis. I only write and speak about it 😉 which is the source of income I’m referring to. #motherindica #plantmedicine #cannabiscareer #nextstopcolorado
Magu 〰️ I’ve been lost in the fields where all makes sense, yet nothing is hidden for long. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I see I sense the bugs and mud, two things too deep for solemn songs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Perfection is not yet, yet perfection is right here. Seeping hope into an indefinite world for generations only near. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, now just think Magu is not ours to keep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is she to cherish It is she to care for Tend to and Love so deservingly unreserved she is our goddess from above ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ See now and know, do know this far from wrong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In a world so unsettled Be strong, sweet dove. You are your greatest gift. Be Truth ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #motherindica photo by @salinabean⠀⠀⠀⠀
Work is done. Day is hot. Why not take an extra serving of whole hemp CBD and float in a pool? 👙💦 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Aayyyyeeeee. Also, since moving and having to throw out a disturbingly large amount of things, I’ve been hypersensitive towards what “things” I now purchase and acquire. I’m tired of the plastics and fast fashion. Truly. Tired of the things I throw away after one use. Knowing that these things will just sit in a landfill, or worst in the ocean, for decades or longer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about it. 🧐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I think about how much we collectively waste and pollute I just want to curl up in a ball and cry. It’s astonishing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is relevant in the cannabis industry, too. So. Much. Plastic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s, as consumers, choose wisely. Who are your favorite plastic-free brands? Cannabis or otherwise? ⠀⠀⠀⠀ I absolutely love @onda.wellness. No plastics, just medicine. A couple other folks I’ve been loving are @juniperridge, @poppyandsomeday, @furtherproducts, @satva_botanicals, @jungmaven, and @homesteadapothecary. It’s a true inspiration to know so many companies and brands are making a real effort to change the tide of consumerism. Shifting us from mindlessness to intentional. Bravo, folks. You’re doing great things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some initiatives making waves: @changingtidesfoundation @sierra @1percentftp, @dirtbagdarling @plasticfreemermaid, and @plasticfreefridays ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 #servenaturally #wearebettertogether #plasticfree #plasticfreefridays #adventureconsciously #buenaonda #goodvibes #wholehemp #wholehempCBD #makewaves
