How THC and CBD Interact with Endogenous Anandamide

In this mind-expanding episode, Darin sits down with Dani Fontaine — researcher, practitioner, and expert on the human body's forgotten communication system: the endocannabinoid system. They unravel how this network regulates everything from mood and sleep to pain and consciousness — and why it was deliberately scrubbed from mainstream medical education.

Dani reveals how cannabinoids, light, sound, and nature all communicate with our body's receptor fields — shaping the way we feel, heal, and perceive the world. Together they explore the profound spiritual and scientific implications of this hidden system, and how it connects us back to balance, nature, and truth.

Key Takeaway

"Your endocannabinoid system isn't just a biology lesson — it's a bridge between your body and the universe. When you feed it light, breath, and truth, you remember what balance actually feels like."
