On the integral nature of the endocannabinoid system to life itself: "If we give newborn mice a drug that blocks the endocannabinoid system, they don’t know how to suckle. Their muscles required to get the milk from the mom don’t work. If we go back even further, that bunch of cells, when it’s about to be implanted into the womb, into the endometrium, to establish blood supply, we block the endocannabinoid system, none of that happens."

Do you know what your body’s most densely populated receptor system is? It is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). We spoke with Dr Jake F. Felice, ND, LMP, about this fascinating system that maintains physiological balance and responds to different types of pain.

“Just about everywhere we look from health, the spectrum of health to pathology, the endocannabinoid system is involved in all of these processes.”

— Jake F. Felice, MD

"Hormones contribute to various physiological processes and influence overall health and well-being, for better or for worse. Dysregulation of hormonal signaling in the gut-brain axis can contribute to gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic conditions, and mental health issues. While food is not the only variable that affects our hormones, its importance cannot be overstated." - from https://medium.com/illumination/you-are-what-you-eat-the-gut-brain-connection-e6aa3812396c
