Food For Thought - the Podcast
The Healthiest Podcast on the Internet! We talk about all things Health Promotion, particularly as they relate to the CAF - in essence giving you a little "Food For Thought" on topics that range from stress, sleep, the impact of the built environment, how to be an HP Ambassador (even if that seems hard and somewhat terrifiying), we'll talk about inclusion and othering and why the latter needs to be avoided. We have conversations with different health and helping professionals and we even have some military members drop in with their insights. So if you are ready to get healthy(er) then pick an episode (short or long) and let's get started!
Food For Thought - the Podcast
DDG - Drugging
Drug use has been either hidden, villainized or both and neither helped to deal with the whys around why people used. With the legalization of cannabis there have emerged a number of new problems as people feel more comfortable being open about their use, or trying it for the first time.
Anecdotal evidence has long suggested there were medicinal benefits, but it is only now that we can start to do the research to determine what, how much, when etc. cannabis use can be helpful.
In the meantime, there are regulations in place in the CAF that mean that recreational use still falls within a pretty limited scope and so it is important to know what that scope is so that you don't endanger your career, yourself or others.
Listen and learn and find out if you are in the green (no pun intended) with respect to your drug use and make sure that you are not a trajectory to health or life problems.
