The Endocannabinoid System Doctor
Integrative and Functional Medicine
Michelle Sexton N.D.
Eat, Sleep, Relax, Forget Protect (recombined here) is a phrase that was coined by the endocannabinoid system (ECS) researcher Vincenzo Di Marzo, published in a paper in 1998 . The paper states as a hypothesis: “Thus, ‘relax, eat, sleep, forget and protect’ might be some of the messages that are produced by the actions of endocannabinoids (ECB), alone or in combination with other mediators”.
In his publication, Di Marzo speculated that endocannabinoids (eCBs) have a general function as ‘stress-recovery factors”, now substantiated by the body of research on the ECS.
These roles of the ECS to provide that we eat, sleep, relax, protect and forget are all necessary for survival. The ECS modulates signaling across all of our tissues and biochemical processes. This book will outline the ECS, provide information on how it can be used as a systems biology approach for stress recovery, how to 'tone the ECS for homeostasis of systems, and for health, healing and well-being. Each section outlines specifics for women's health along with other naturopathic principles and approaches.

Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine works to integrate body, mind and spirit wellness. The Endocannabinoid system is a regulatory system functioning across the human body. We will use a whole person approach to address causes, opposed to simply treating symptoms. Natural products, such as herbs and nutrient supplements will balance biochemistry and stimulate the body's healing processes. Dr. Sexton uses this approach to help you minimize or eliminate pharmaceutical medications. Dr. Sexton may also order laboratory analysis to enhance diagnosis and treatment of your medical condition.
