My X Wellness

Biology is science down to the core. The words that describe it are not always black and white.

The ECS is a real internal system that helps regulate homeostasis in your body. The name has nothing to do with the plant, but the way it functions shares enough similarities with compounds found in cannabis that researchers named it the endocannabinoid system.

Don’t let the word “cannabinoid” confuse the actual biology behind the system.

My X Wellness is dedicated to health and wellness education and strategies. Follow to learn and join the conversation.

When one good thing ends, another is right around the corner.

What’s in a label?

Words carry meaning beyond the dictionary, and reach deep into health and wellness. The words we use don’t just describe what we’re talking about, they often influence whether we talk about things at all.

Do you talk to your wellness professionals about the endocannabinoid system? Every one of us has one. Or does the word “cannabis” being used to describe this biological system get in the way of that conversation?

An early start might support your health more than you think.

Consistent early morning light exposure benefits your circadian rhythm.

If you start work early, does it feel like a rude alarm clock or a fortunate appointment with the sun?

What can we learn from our pets? For one thing, they have an ECS too.

And a lot of what we know about the ECS has come from our knowledge of the ECS in pets and animals. And thankfully so, as this has helped build the body of knowledge so much more due to the recent discovery and past regulation.

How much more would we know about the ECS if other things were not so heavily regulated over the past 85 years?

Demonstrating a workout or exercise routine isn’t the same as doing one; it’s closer to repeatedly doing them back to back, all day.

Wellness professionals and trainers perform tiring work that is often overlooked as being physically demanding. The body doesn’t distinguish teaching from learning when it comes to physical exertion.

Does teaching movement require the same amount of recovery as doing your own exercises? My X Wellness is dedicated to your recovery before, during, and after your workout.

Creativity can come with a cost: your sleep.

Regardless of the reasons, screen exposure before bed delays the natural production of melatonin. Sleep is one of the primary systems that support your ECS. Managing screen time before bed helps you sleep better as you support your ECS.

My X Wellness is dedicated to ECS health. Follow us to stay up to date on your endocannabinoids system.

Your gut is like a reef; the more diverse it is, the healthier it usually is too.

And like a healthy reef, your gut survives attacks better when it is a well-supported ecosystem of diverse bacteria. One good structure cannot sustain wellness by itself.
