In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Elisabeth Mack, MBA, BSN, BA, RN, the CEO and founder of Holistic Caring, The Green Nurse, and Bloom Hemp CBD. After spending over three decades in conventional healthcare—including twenty years navigating clinical operations and insurance sales—Elisabeth experienced a profound personal health transformation using plant therapeutics after a major bicycle accident. Today, she bridges the gap between conventional medicine and cannabis care. She discusses the physiology of the endocannabinoid system, the crucial pharmacological differences between CBD and THC, and how the formal recognition of cannabis nursing as an official medical specialty is paving the way for safe, nurse-guided medicine.
Key Takeaways:
- The Ultimate Regulatory Overlay: The endocannabinoid system (ECS) acts as a master regulatory framework sitting directly on top of the body’s other eleven organ systems, using retrograde signaling to downshift inflammation and bring cells back to balance.
- Heal Without the High: Elisabeth addresses the pervasive recreational stigma surrounding cannabis. Her clinical protocols leverage sub-perceptual doses of THC alongside CBD to maximize therapeutic outcomes for chronic pain, insomnia, and neurodegenerative decline without inducing intoxication.
- The Pharmacological Distinction: CBD serves as a broad anti-inflammatory blanket and neuroprotectant antioxidant. In contrast, THC acts as a direct receptor agonist that can be micro-dosed to optimize neurotransmission or scaled to trigger cellular apoptosis in advanced cancer care.
- A New Nursing Specialty: In September 2023, the American Nurses Association (ANA) officially recognized cannabis nursing as a formal medical specialty. This structural milestone enables nurses to specialize in cannabinoid therapeutics and clinical coaching.
- The Business in a Box Solution: Through her Holistic Caring and Green Nurse Academy, Elisabeth provides comprehensive training and a licensed clinical toolkit for healthcare professionals. This eliminates the need for clinicians to reinvent forms, enabling them to safely scale cannabinoid medicine into their practices.
