Episode notes

For any of you who have been listening to this show for some time know by this point, I am a big fan of Cannabis & it’s abilities, when used consciously & responsibly, to act as a tool for self development. From self development we can gain self awareness & from self awareness, we can gain self realization & for me, self realization is the ultimate goal of my life. This being said, I get a lot of questions about cannabis and women's health. So this week, I’m bringing you straight to the source and found the expert who’s been studying cannabis and women’s health for over a decade. She has 18 years of knowledge of the pharmacology and health effects of cannabis on a woman's body throughout all stages of life. I'm happy to report she also has deep dive educational course to share called "The Green Woman's Guide” to help with any women in your life who are canna curious. You'll find a link to the course and a 25% discount code in the show notes when you use the code “Highlyoptimized” & my hope is that any women listening to this episode who are looking for a woman specific approach to Cannabis are able to do so & feel confident in their choice to connect with the plant.
