The body of evidence around cannabinoid-based medicine is evolving every day.
Follow along with us to stay in the know.
Very excited about this announcement of the first randomized controlled clinical trial in the U.S. to investigate cannabis as a treatment option for migraine headaches. Clinically, I have seen numerous patients benefit from cannabinoid-based medicines when other migraine treatments have failed, so this is a huge step forward in advancing our understanding.
When was the last time you reviewed your medications and supplements with your doctor? Why should you care?
In this pandemic year, many people have missed their annual wellness checks. Recent data also shows a potential rise in self-medication - including over-the-counter meds, supplements, alcohol & recreational drugs - all of which could lead to serious side-effects.
In episode two, Dr. Pearson will be joined by certified geriatric pharmacist and Health Depot (tag) CEO, Andrew Donald and Tilray’s Philippe Lucas PhD, for an interactive discussion on everything you need to know to medicate mindfully.
May is Mental Health month, so we thought it was the perfect time to launch our new Self-Care Spring Cleaning mini-series. The first webisode is tomorrow night and Sarah and I are so excited to talk to everyone about how to declutter and tune-up our emotional and mental health - including strategies we use personally and in practice. There is still time to register at www.drblakepearson.org/events
Huge thanks to Tyler Kula at The Observer for helping us get the word out.
Need another reason why medicinal cannabis should be covered? Take a look at this amazing story. After just a couple of weeks on cannabinoid therapy, my patient has her severe fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis pain under control and has been able to sleep through the night for the first time in NINE years! You’ve heard me say it a million times, but a good night’s sleep goes a long way in reducing pain. Oh and we’ve been able to wean her opioid pain medication too.
Grateful to all my patients who have shared their story to further this important cause: #CoverCannabis
