CannaFitness and Nutrition Podcast

You’re eating protein, lifting weights, getting your steps in, and trying to lose those 10 pounds. So why are your jeans getting tighter instead of looser?Maybe the answer isn’t eating less or exercising more.In this episode of the Canna Fitness and Nutrition Podcast, I’m sharing what I’ve noticed after almost 20 years as a personal trainer: most women already know what they should be doing. The problem is that poor sleep, chronic stress, sore joints, and busy schedules are making those healthy habits harder to maintain.We’ll talk about why trying harder isn’t always the solution, what to look at instead, and how cannabis—including THC, CBD, CBG, and CBN—might be a supportive tool for relaxation, sleep, and managing discomfort.Because you want to lose unwanted fat, maintain your muscle, and feel good in your favorite pants. And you shouldn’t have to give up enjoying cannabis to take great care of yourself.🌱 Join my FREE Menopause, Muscle & Mary Jane Masterclass!Tuesday, November 17 at 12 PM Eastern.We’ll connect the dots between midlife weight loss, sleep, strength training, nutrition, and intentional cannabis use.Register here: https://forms.gle/XHZqDW68z4M48ihWABeth Jasinski

I continue to get tons of questions about dry herb vaping, so here is some great information in case you missed it the first time 😊As I talk to cannabis users at fitness events, I’m noticing a trend that many users feel guilty for smoking cannabis. There’s guilt and shame around it, because it doesn’t seem healthy, and it feels counterintuitive to a fitness lifestyle. Well, guess what? Dry Herb Vaping has steadily gained popularity since the early 2000’s as a healthier alternative to traditional smoking and vaping oil. In this episode I review the benefits of the dry herb vape and why I love it as a personal trainer, consumer and cannabis educator.

This episode is for anyone who uses THC and wants to feel more balanced, focused, and functional, especially if you use cannabis during the day. It's also for people who want fitness or weight-loss support without giving up cannabis, and for coaches who want to understand how their clients use it.In this episode I cover:​ Why I bring up CBD with almost every THC user I coachThe story of a client who used THC all day for focus and finally felt balanced after adding CBG and CBDHow CBD is non-intoxicating and counterbalances THC, so you feel more like yourselfWhat "biphasic" means and why taking more THC can backfireWhy I recommend microdosing (starting at 1 to 5 mg) to find your Goldilocks doseThe question I ask every client: what do you want from this experience?How CBG (more uplifting) and CBN (more sedating, "N is for nighttime") differ from CBDA quick look at the entourage effect ​Website: cannafitnessnutrition.comEmail me: [email protected]: @beth_cannafitnessnutrition Albany-area shoppers: I mention Green Leaf as the only local spot I know that carries CBD flower, now located near the airport.

In this episode I bust five stereotypes about cannabis users and discuss:​ Why "cannabis users aren't serious about fitness" is a mythHow cannabis users approach nutrition, protein targets, and mindful consumption, including choosing cannabis as an alcohol swapHow light, medium, and high doses fit into a fitness lifestyleWhat the "munchies" are, and why overdue hunger is often the real driverWhy THC's appetite stimulation can be a benefit for people with suppressed appetiteThe factors a coach should evaluate before blaming cannabis: stress, hormones and midlife shifts, protein intake, training load, recovery, and medicationsHow to optimize cannabis use with dosing, strain experimentation, and minor cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and THCV Resources and links:Website: cannafitnessnutrition.comEmail me: [email protected]: @beth_cannafitnessnutrition

I'm sharing a story about a client who knew she was full, knew she didn't need the food, and still couldn't put the cookies down. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.In this episode, I talk about: • Why "just eat less" doesn't work when food is functioning as a reward • How overwork and mental overload drive nighttime overeating • What a food log can reveal that willpower conversations can't • Why sometimes you just need someone else to reflect the pattern back to you • The first real question to ask yourself: what is food actually doing for you?If this hits home, my 12-week program Satisfied covers food, exercise, and cannabis coaching together.
