This was actually the first interview I ever conducted! Dupree was a student of mine at Humboldt State University and he is now an amateur MMA fighter. We talked about our shared strict backgrounds as young athletes, the culture of weed in MMA and UFC, and using weed to help manage pain, improve appetite (after years of weight cutting), his use of weed to help with recovery from training, and when he doesn't use cannabis with his training or in preparation for competition. Oh - and he also blew my mind by telling me about the High Rollerz - a cannabis-infused martial arts competition - so I hope this is the first of many more conversations with folks in the martial arts community!

This week I'm talking to my new cannabis & exercise researcher friend, Dr. Jonny Lisano. He and I conducted survey studies exploring cannabis use with exercise around the same time -which was new to both of us- and we share our results! You'll also get insight into cellular exercise physiology research he has conducted on the topic with colleagues at Northern Colorado University. Dr. Lisano will be a regular guest where we'll review cannabis and exercise research together for journal clubs - so keep an eye out for those!

This week I'm talking to my friend, Danny, who picked up running when he moved up to Humboldt County a few years ago and quickly became an avid long distance runner. We talked about his experience of becoming a runner, how he figured out the best cannabis doses and products for his runs, and why he enjoys it all.Danny is a co-owner of the South G Kitchen food truck outside of the Redwood Curtain Brewery in Arcata, which - in my opinion - has some of the best food in town. He's also a fellow Midwesterner - originally from Michigan - so you might hear more of our Midwest accents. :)To learn more about Dr. Ogle, visit www.whitneyogle.comYou can follow us on Instagram @exploringcannabisandexerciseHost: Whitney Ogle DPT, PhDProducer: Haley MontowskiMusic: "Bonfire Cauliflower" by Isaac JoelSupport the show on Patreon Support the show
