The Endocannabinoid System: Components, Actions, and Optimization
The endocannabinoid system is involved in regulating many physiological, homeostatic, and cognitive functions—including appetite, immune function, pain, and metabolism. In our developing understanding of network medicine, it’s important as clinicians to understand that the endocannabinoid system impacts conditions we see every day, including obesity, prediabetes and diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In this blog post, Sara Gottfried, MD and Elnaz Karimian-Azari, PhD explore our body’s homeostatic regulator and ways to facilitate balance.
Scientists have been searching for “psychobiotics,” probiotics that can modify the gut-brain axis, and now a recent publication using a robust clinical trial design demonstrated a probiotic strain that improved the stress response. This article outlines the trial, the results, and research highlights from the trial.
