Team! Today we have the wonderful Lauren Read in the studio. Loz works as an app and automation designer AND a mindset and fitness coach.

Hey team, here's a flashback episode!
Today we are going back in time to episode no. 1!!! The first ever episode! I always need to go back to re-learn certain topics and I thought this would be a great snippet to cover again.
In this episode we learn about how THC affects the brain. We talk about the 3 core components of the endocannabinoid system and how marijuana use can affect this system in the long term. We also touch on whether or not marijuana is addictive.
