The Endocannabinoid System: Components, Actions, and Optimization
In the emerging view of the vast role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in network medicine, healthcare practitioners need to be aware of the components and actions of the ECS, along with strategies to optimize its function, including lifestyle approaches and targeted bioactives. This cornerstone piece examines the ECS, our body’s homeostatic regulator, and ways to facilitate balance.
Erik Lundquist, MD presents a Nutrition Masters Course on the ECS, a critical homeostatic regulator in the body. Webinar topics span ECS compounds, functions, and strategies to support ECS function—including phytocannabinoids from cannabis (e.g., hemp).
