Show Notes

Recovery from too much exercise or stress in life can be a hard problem to solve. Trying hard to relax is not only an oxymoron but is also impossible. Wise Athletes need some external signal to trigger our brain's unconscious program for relaxation and recovery. This is critical for athletic performance as well as for longevity.

Listen in as Don Moxley explains how the cannabis plant includes compounds that work with our body's signaling infrastructure to switch on recovery mode, and to resolve anxiety-led sleep interference. If you've tried CBD before but didn't get any benefit, you probably weren't taking a large enough dose. Don also explains the difference between CBD and CBDa, and why CBD is the wrong target. CBDa is what you need for affordable recovery support.
