Debra Kimless, MD - Medical Director, ForwardGro

Speaker Biography:
Debra Kimless, M.D. graduated magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa from Muhlenberg College with a double major in Natural Sciences and Biology. She attended medical school at Rutgers, and residency at Temple University Hospital and is a board-certified Anesthesiologist with a subspecialty certification in Pain Medicine and is recently board certified by the American/International Lifestyle Medicine Board. Motivated by her mother who, at the end of her life suffered with intractable pain and who responded paradoxically to opiates, Dr. Kimless traveled the world to learn if medical cannabis could have been a treatment option. She studied under the most respected experts in cannabis medicine and research and has become a passionate champion for medical cannabis.

Webinar:
The Intersection of Nutrition, Microbiome and Medical Cannabis

Webinar Abstract:
Whole food plant-based diets and medical cannabis have shared and continues to share similar levels of scrutiny, doubt, and stigma by the traditional medical community. One reason for the medical community distrusting the science behind whole food plant-based diets, medical cannabis, and the endocannabinoid system may be because the information is not usually taught in traditional educational platforms such as universities, medical schools or other allied health schools, or specialty sponsored medical continuing education conferences. The information is often rejected as hearsay or anecdotal despite mounting evidence that both whole food plant-based diets and medical cannabis can contribute positively as a sole therapeutic modality or in conjunction with traditional therapeutic treatments. There is a lot of public interest in medical cannabis as a solo treatment or as an adjunct treatment for many medical conditions. The question is if evidence shows that medical cannabis is efficacious? There is also a lot of public interest surrounding how diet and lifestyle may help boost the immune system and transform the body into a healing machine. There is evidence linking the synergistic mechanisms of action between whole food plant-based nutrition with medical cannabis leading to positive health outcomes. I will present my methods for treating patients and patient outcomes using case reports as examples. I will support my therapeutic management of patients, combining a whole food plant-based diet with medical cannabis, with evidence-backed information. I will discuss the rationale for the nutrition and lifestyles changes, the importance of an intact microbiome, and explain the endocannabinoid system and its involvement in biologic systems, and the use of medical cannabis.
