You’ve heard of the nervous system, the endocrine system, and the immune system. But what about the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—the one that helps regulate all of them?

In this episode, Georgie breaks down one of the most overlooked systems in human biology. Discovered through cannabis research but far more than a cannabis issue, the ECS plays a critical role in maintaining balance across mood, metabolism, hormones, inflammation, pain, and immune response.

So why isn’t it taught in medical school? And how is that omission impacting the care we receive—especially for women dealing with complex, chronic symptoms?

This is a must-listen if you’re a health-conscious woman, clinician, innovator, or advocate wondering why the healthcare system keeps missing the root cause.

• What the endocannabinoid system is—and what it isn’t
• How the ECS helps regulate key systems: hormonal, metabolic, immune, and neurological
• Why cannabis stigma is still limiting ECS education in medicine
• The real-world consequences of not teaching ECS in medical or nursing school
• Why women with complex symptoms may be falling through the cracks
• How diet, stress, and trauma can dysregulate the ECS—and what to do about it
• What clinicians, patients, and innovators need to know now
