THCA and CBDA
I just listened to your podcast on cannabis and found the effects on executive function quite disturbing. Are these effects due to the delta 9THC chemical itself or/and other compounds in cannabis? If so, would ingesting THC in its acid form have the same effects on executive functioning? I’m thinking like a non-alcoholic beer. Thank you!
Sauna + cold immersion
A friend of mine, and myself experience a side effect from cold immersion following sauna. I just want to clarify we’re not doing any harm - as well as what exactly may be happening. Sometimes I experience involuntary lifting of my gaze while in the cold water. Not sure to consider this Nystagmus or Oscillopsia or what. It occurs shortly after entering the cold, and I do not submerge my head (to rule out any thermogenic influence on inner ear canal). If I focus my gaze on a point I don’t notice anything, but if I “zone out” and relax I’ll notice my gaze lifting upwards. I do sauna followed by cold immersion often and experience this rarely, but it’s happened often enough to be curious about the mechanisms behind what may be happening and if it’s a bad effect, or benign. Thank you!!
Migraine Headaches
I was wondering if you could do an episode on migraine headaches and chronic migraine. Are there any new studies that you could tell us about that shed light on the cause of migraines? Are there any studies that show protocols or supplements to prevent migraines or ease the pain associated with them? New treatments? Could you talk about about migraine aura? I’d also love to hear about the link between migraines and mental health. Thank you!
