One of the most common questions I get as a naturopathic doctor is: “What do you think about CBD for sleep?” My honest response is: I don’t know. As a naturopathic doctor in Ontario, medical cannabis is out of the scope of my practice abilities. 

So I’m bringing you the expert! 

My guest on today’s podcast episode is Stephanie Massey. Stephanie is a young breast cancer survivor and through her journey with cancer treatment and menopause, turned to the world of medical cannabis for pain relief, mood support and of course, sleep.

In this episode, Stephanie shares: 

  • What happened when she first smoked a joint at age 42
  • How her experience with medical cannabis allowed her to come off of numerous pharmaceutical medications
  • And how this inspired her to create her own business as a medical cannabis educator and consultant to help people navigate the world of medical cannabis

Stephanie breaks down the difference between THC and CBD and also shares how different strains, formulations and ratios of cannabis can impact sleep.

This episode encourages you to consult with your own healthcare providers or someone like Stephanie, who can help you navigate the world of medical cannabis safely.
