New BlEP #78 - Cannabis as Medicine: Dr. Ryan Zaklin on the Endocannabinoid Systemog Post

Dr. Ryan Zaklin, founder of ECS Wellness in Salem, Massachusetts, is shedding light on the body’s endocannabinoid system, a natural regulator most people are unaware of. By explaining how our bodies produce their own cannabinoids to maintain balance, he offers a compelling alternative to relying solely on prescription medications. Dr. Zaklin, part of the Mass General Brigham network, blends conventional medicine with evidence-based cannabis therapeutics, debunking common myths along the way. His approach emphasizes that you don’t need to get high to benefit from cannabis, and in some cases, treatments may even be covered by insurance.

Dr. Zaklin's personal journey adds depth to his practice. Once a musician struggling with a repetitive stress injury, his life changed when he lost his father to cancer, which he describes as creating a "tinnitus of the heart." This experience shaped his compassionate, patient-centered approach to care. Now working with cancer patients, he’s helping make cancer a more manageable chronic condition. Whether you're dealing with pain, insomnia, or curious about balancing your health naturally, Dr. Zaklin’s integrative approach offers practical solutions, including how activities like yoga can boost your natural cannabinoids.
