Pregnant and breast feeding women should probably be advised to either decrease, or where possible, cease cannabis use entirely. And, couples trying to conceive may also want to consider cutting down.

When do I mean cut down “when possible?” Check out my video Natural Treatments for Morning Sickness (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/natural-treatments-morning-sickness/)  to see how sometimes marijuana use during pregnancy can be a lifesaver.

I have another webinar coming up on fasting for weight loss, and probably a second one later this year because there’s just so much to cover. I love the opportunity to present a whole bunch of information on one topic all at once. For information on the fasting webinar, visit https://nutritionfacts.org/webinar/intermittent-fasting. As always, webinars will be broken into individual videos and released at no cost over the course of the year here on NutritionFacts.org.
