Cannabis, CBD and Resilience - with Dr Dani Gordon

Dr Dani Gordon is a world-leading expert in CBD and medical cannabis, and joins Angela for a thought-provoking discussion about their benefits, when is the right time to use more stimulating forms of breath work, how to optimise your own wellbeing practices, as well as her authored works on the subject of CBD and resilience.

Key Takeaways

  • Resilience is the metric which shows us how well we bounce back from challenge. For people who are well in the first place, resilience can still be used to “bounce forward” – a building block for even more resilience.
  • Hemp CBD does not work as a sleep aid. In fact it can have the opposite effect, making people far more alert and awake.
  • Like anything else, if a substance is abused then it can hurt resilience instead of helping to build it. The key is to be aware and not let it overtake you.
  • There is evidence that legalising cannabis does not lead to an increase in misuse by the younger generation. This is something of a myth.

Best Moments

‘It’s about health and wellbeing resilience’

‘We want to make people who are well already, bounce forward’

‘It can wake up some of the parts of the brain involved with keeping us awake and alert’

‘You actually need more stress to build resilience’
