CBD is showing promise as an alternative or adjunctive treatment for a variety of ailments ranging from Alzheimer’s and Addiction to Parkinson’s and Schizophrenia.
Curious about the buzz around CBD and its potential health benefits? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast with DocSnipes', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes breaks down the latest research on cannabidiol (CBD) and its promising role in treating a range of conditions, from Alzheimer's and addiction to Parkinson’s and schizophrenia. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t have psychogenic effects, making it an appealing option for those seeking relief without the high. However, Dr.
Snipes emphasizes the importance of consulting a physician due to CBD's interactions with many medications. The episode dives into how CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy brain. With its anti-inflammatory properties, CBD can potentially reduce brain cell damage, offering hope for those with substance abuse disorders. Dr. Snipes also touches on the use of CBD in treating epilepsy, restless legs syndrome, and multiple sclerosis, highlighting its versatility. One key point Dr.
Snipes makes is the variability in over-the-counter CBD products. Since these products are non-standardized, dosages can differ even within the same brand, making it vital to approach them cautiously. She also discusses the trace amounts of THC that might be present in CBD oils, which could affect their efficacy and safety. This episode is a goldmine for counselors, coaches, and sober companions looking to expand their knowledge and tools for helping clients. Dr.
Snipes provides practical advice on integrating CBD into treatment plans, ensuring you’re well-equipped to discuss this option with your clients. Whether you’re a professional in the field or someone exploring new treatment avenues, this episode offers valuable insights into the potential benefits and considerations of using CBD.
