The Science of Cannabinoids and the CNR1 Gene | SNPit #18
In this episode, we explore the complex interplay between the CNR1 gene, cannabinoid receptors, and cannabis. Discover the role of the endocannabinoid system in maintaining bodily balance, particularly in brain function, mood regulation, and inflammation response. We delve deep into how genetic variations in the CNR1 gene can influence the CB1 receptors, and the implications of CB1 receptor function in managing stress, anxiety, and cognitive processes such as memory and decision-making. Whether you're curious about the science behind getting high or looking for ways to optimize your cannabinoid system through diet and supplements like CBD oil, this episode has something for everyone.
