#12 The Lowdown on Hemp with Cade Turland
How hot is hemp (marijuana for our American friends)? Is there anything this magical plant can't do??? Today Mason and founder of Hemple - Cade Turland - talk about the biological hard-wiring we humans have towards receiving the magical properties of hemp. In particular, it is the fat profile of hemp, that make this very nurturing plant so health-promoting. The guys end up in esoteric discussions, reflecting on life truths and how to live a life based on integrity and authenticity. It's no wonder that the pharmaceutical industry is heavily investing in hemp research, it being a hugely sustainable botanical. Cade talks about the 120 cannabinoids and their interaction with the bodily receptors. This one you won't want to miss!
The guys discuss:
-The essential fatty acid (lipid) profile of hemp is outstanding, the ratio is the perfect Omega 3 to Omega 6 1:3
-Hemp seed (oil in particular) can really improve skin issues like eczema, as it essentially turns down the inflammatory response
-With 25% of your daily zinc requirements, hemp protein is potent for hormonal health and a robust immune system
-The slightly nutty flavour profile of the hemp protein and hemp seeds, means it can contribute to ANY dish
-Hemp has phytoremediation properties - it detoxifies the soil, it pulls radiation and toxins (like pesticides) from the soil
-Humans have an endocannabinoid system, a biological system perfectly aligned to receiving cannabinoids
-Is the grandfather of cannabinoids, CBG, the new and improved CBD?
