The Thing With Smoking Weed
I know, this is a hot button for many advocates of that “sticky-icky” and this isn’t to advocate for or against the use of cannabis in its many forms. However, it would be irresponsible of me not to warn my community about the consequences of excessive and or chronic cannabis use. There is something cannabis smokers should know.
Some studies and observations suggest that certain minerals might be affected by regular cannabis use. Here are the minerals that could potentially be depleted or require attention for regular cannabis users:
1. Magnesium
- Role: Magnesium is crucial for nerve and muscle function, energy production, and maintaining stable mood levels.
- Impact: Deficiencies in magnesium can lead to irritability, muscle spasms, and mood swings. Some studies suggest that cannabis consumption might be linked to lower magnesium levels. This is why you can’t sleep unless you smoke. Sound familiar?
2. Calcium
- Role: Essential for bone health and various cellular functions.
- Impact: While not directly linked to cannabis, magnesium deficiency can impede calcium absorption, potentially affecting bone health. Bones and joints begin to feel a bit dehydrated after cannabis
consumption wears off.
3. Phosphorus
- Role: Important for bone health and energy production.
- Impact: Cannabis use might affect the body’s ability to utilize phosphorus effectively. Phosphorus is a primary energy source for semen in males. This is one of the determining factors when studies reveal lower sperm counts of regular cannabis consumers.
4. Zinc
- Role: Supports immune function and wound healing.
- Impact: Regular cannabis use might necessitate increased zinc intake to support overall health, though direct depletion evidence is scarce. It’s easier to get sick and colds seem to last a bit longer than 2 days.
Zinc is also present in human semen and is important for sperm function and cell division, which is necessary for semen production. Zinc deficiency can lead to low sperm quality, decreased sperm quantity, low testosterone levels, and increased risk of infertility.
5. Iron
- Role: Vital for oxygen transport in the blood.
- Impact: While not directly linked to cannabis, maintaining adequate iron levels is important for overall health, especially if dietary intake is compromised. This is a consideration to make after cannabis use. The opening of fat cells and induced hunger can lead to poor dietary decisions. (the munchies)
Recommendations
- Dietary Adjustments: Incorporate foods rich in these minerals, such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and natural fats for brain health like avocado and coconut meat. For a recipe system click HERE
- Supplementation: Consider supplements if dietary intake is insufficient, like Nerve Support and Immunity Support.
- Regular Monitoring: Keep track of any symptoms that might indicate mineral deficiencies, such as fatigue, muscle cramps, or mood changes, and adjust your diet accordingly.
Always consider professional medical advice for personalized recommendations.

📚 Why Hydration is Important, Really?
The true meaning of hydration is more than just drinking water. What we REALLY need are electrolytes. These are MINERALS that happen to take on an electric charge when they meet with water.
The water inside of us is what activates those minerals. So minerals and hydration both go hand in hand AND are one in the same, if that makes sense. Don’t let anyone snow you.
If you stopped drinking water all together and only ate hydrating fruits you would surely keep living.
Dehydration can also cause cravings for sugar, salt and starch, as the body may mistake thirst for hunger. Be sure to drink better water with the Alkanatur.

The Problem With Lymphatic Build Up
There are 2 major ways to drain the lymphatic system and sadly, they aren’t part of the American popular culture. The practice of sweating in sauna is common in many cultures. In the United Sates the sauna is thought of as a spa treatment reserved for pampering and special occasions like vacation, etc,.
How to Cleanse The Lymphatic System
First thing is, stop adding toxins to the lymphatic system. The sugar, starch, caffeine and foreign hormones from animal products need to be minimized or eliminated for a period long enough to focus on detoxification. Use the Food Addiction Fix habit system to avoid addictive foods.
Next, you’ll need to focus on proper hydration daily along with sweating using a sauna, sauna suit, blanket or sun. This is very important. The skin is the biggest pore and largest toxin removal organ. Take advantage of it. Sweating will also remove the sugar that’s causing those cravings.

The Challenge
Ultra Processed Foods (UPFs) are the progress-stopping substances that are sprinkled throughout our lives in the form of good family fun, convenience or holiday treats. This means it’s a fight to get the full spectrum of daily essential minerals through the foods we eat. You’d need to calculate and monitor every bite, all the time, and tally your score at the end of each day. Nobody has time for that.
Or, you could just take CELL SUPPORT, IMMUNITY SUPPORT and SEA MOSS daily.
