Reefer MEDness Podcast - Discussing Dementia & Autism Spectrum Disorder

It’s always such a privilege to be invited onto any podcast to share my experience...but I have to say this was a uniquely awesome experience to be welcomed onto one founded by a nurse and pharmacist, that is dedicated to furthering the conversation around medical cannabis, AND is grounded in science. 

In this episode we talked about the challenges of managing dementia in long-term care, as well as managing behaviours associated with autism, where other treatments have failed. We don’t have a lot of good options in our standard medicine toolbox for either of these - but I’m seeing results with cannabinoid-based medicine.

Thanks so much to Trevor and Kirk at Reefer MEDness for such a great conversation.

Alisa Foster - Empowering Special Needs Parents (Podcast)

I was honoured to have been invited by Alisa Foster - Empowering Special Needs Parents - to join her podcast “Happy and Independent” to chat about the field of cannabinoid and functional medicine.

Alisa and I shared a conversation about patient care, cannabinoid therapy, autism and living with disabilities--and I was able to give a hint of what you can expect at our next Free virtual Lockdown Learning Series event with Jessica Moran, next Wednesday. I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as I did and highly recommend listening!

COVID-19 has forced us to face a new norm which has presented challenges for parents caring for individuals with disabilities during the pandemic. On Wednesday June 24th at 7:00PM EDT, I will be joined by entrepreneur, disabilities advocate, and mother of a child with autism, Jessica Moran. We’ll talk about how the pandemic is impacting children & adults with disabilities and their caregivers. We’ll also share practical advice to help get you through these times.

Registration is always FREE and we hope you can join the upcoming Lockdown Learning Series at : www.drblakepearson.org/events.

If you or someone you care about is living with a disability and dealing with the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, we hope you can join us.
