Descripción

What actually causes a runner’s high—and why does it feel so powerful? In this episode, we break down the real science behind the runner’s high, including how your body produces its own cannabis-like compounds through the Endocannabinoid System. You’ll learn how endocannabinoids like anandamide—not just endorphins—create that calm, clear, euphoric state so many runners chase. We also connect the dots between movement, stress regulation, and intentional cannabis use—so you can understand why cannabis can recreate that same grounded, “I feel like myself again” feeling… without needing a long run. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel better after movement—or why cannabis helps you relax, focus, or feel more in control around food—this episode will give you the missing link. What You’ll Learn * What the runner’s high actually is (and what most people get wrong) * The role of the Endocannabinoid System in mood, motivation, and stress * How anandamide affects your brain and body * Why endorphins alone don’t explain the runner’s high * How cannabis interacts with the same system * The runner’s high isn’t just a fitness perk—it’s a nervous system shift driven by your body’s own cannabinoids. When you understand how to support that system (through movement, fueling, and intentional cannabis use), everything from mood to eating habits becomes easier.

episode Stop Saying “I ate so bad” or “I ate good” if You Want to Lose Weight - Episode 126 artwork

Stop Saying “I ate so bad” or “I ate good” if You Want to Lose Weight - Episode 126

I break down why labeling my eating as “good” or “bad” used to keep me stuck in the binge-restrict cycle — and why it does the same thing to my clients. I walk through a simple, judgment-free exercise I use to help people finally understand what their bodies actually need. What You’ll Learn: • Why I see clients get stuck on a hamster wheel of moral food judgment • The real cause of weight gain I see over and over: it’s not “bad” foods, it’s eating past fullness • Why 8 out of 10 times when someone tells me they “ate bad,” it started with under-fueling earlier in the day • The 48-hour, no-judgment-words exercise I have clients try • How I coach people to find their “80% full” stopping point instead of chasing food rules Who This Is For: Women who feel stuck cycling between “being good” and “being bad” with food, and who want a strategy-based approach instead of more rules.

In my experience, this happens because you’re under-fueling earlier in the day. When you restrict food or skip meals, your body craves more and you’re more likely to overeat later — it’s not a willpower problem, it’s a fueling problem. Can I gain weight from eating “healthy” food like salad? Yes. I tell my clients that what causes weight gain is eating past fullness, regardless of what the food is. You could gain weight eating a giant salad if you eat it past the point of satisfaction. What does it mean to stop at 80% fullness? It’s the stopping point I coach clients toward — satisfied, not stuffed. It takes practice, but you get several chances a day to work on it. How do I stop attaching “good” or “bad” to my eating? I have clients describe what they ate over 48 hours using zero judgment words — just facts. No “good,” no “bad,” just what happened and how it felt. It retrains your nervous system to stop keeping score.

episode Eating Too Fast Is Sabotaging Your Weight Loss — Here’s My Fix Episode 125 artwork

Eating Too Fast Is Sabotaging Your Weight Loss — Here’s My Fix Episode 125

I explain why eating too fast — not “bad” food choices — is the real reason so many of my clients overeat and struggle to lose weight. I share four techniques I use to slow down meals, reconnect with fullness cues, and clear up how cannabis actually affects hunger and the mind-body connection. What You’ll Learn: • Why I see eating fast as one of the biggest blockers to weight loss • The “Put Your Fork Down” technique I use to naturally pace meals • The Flavor Game I play to taste more and eat less • My “First Four Bites” rule for catching diminishing returns early • The Halfway Pause I use to check in on real fullness • Why I tell clients cannabis doesn’t cause binge eating — and how I help them tell true hunger from the munchies Who This Is For: Anyone who eats quickly, feels stuffed after meals, or wants to understand how cannabis actually affects appetite and body awareness. Connect with Me: 📧 Email: beth@cannafitnessnutrition.com 📷 Instagram: @beth_cannafitnessnutrition 🌐 Website: cannafitnessnutrition.com FAQ Does cannabis cause binge eating? No — in my experience, cannabis doesn’t cause binge eating. It actually slows you down and can make you more aware of your body, which supports the mind-body connection rather than working against it. How do I know if I’m actually hungry or just have the munchies? I tell clients to close their eyes and feel their digestive system. An empty, grumbling stomach means real hunger. Feeling nothing usually means you’re already satisfied — even if cannabis sparked the urge to eat. Why am I overeating even when I’m eating “healthy”? I see this constantly — it’s usually about speed, not food choice. Eating too fast doesn’t give your brain and body time to register that you’re satisfied, so you keep going past fullness. What’s a simple way to slow down while eating? My favorite is the Halfway Pause: stop midway through your meal, take a breath, and check in on how your stomach feels before deciding whether to keep eating.

episode You Keep Falling Off Your Fitness Routine Because You’re Trying to Be Perfect - Episode 124 artwork

You Keep Falling Off Your Fitness Routine Because You’re Trying to Be Perfect - Episode 124

If you’ve ever broken a workout streak and just stopped completely, I want you to know the problem isn’t you — it’s the all-or-nothing plan you were following. I’m breaking down why perfection-based programs like 75 Hard set people up to quit, and what to do instead so one off day never turns into three months off track. Episode Highlights • The exercise mistake my client was making — chasing a perfect daily streak instead of a sustainable one • Why life always gets in the way eventually (rain, illness, work, your kids’ schedule) and why that’s not a failure, it’s just life • Why programs built on consecutive perfect days, like 75 Hard, set you up to quit the moment you break the streak • The real math: a 14-day perfect streak followed by a 3-month quit gets you way less progress than staying consistent at 80% • Why walking 365 days a year won’t make you more fit than walking 260 days — more isn’t always more • The mindset shift from “I fell off” to “this is just a human moment” • How to build a plan you’ll actually stick with (hint: a 10-minute walk you’ll keep doing beats a 30-minute one you’ll abandon) Contact Me 📧 Email: beth@cannafitnessnutrition.com 📱 Instagram: @beth_cannafitnessnutrition

Overeating When High: Two Things That Seem Like the Munchies But Aren’t -Episode 123

If you use cannabis and can’t stop eating at night, you’ve probably blamed the munchies — but what if it isn’t the munchies at all? In this episode, I break down two patterns that mimic the munchies but are actually driven by underfueling and your brain’s hardwired reward system, and what to do instead so you can finally feel in control around food. Episode Highlights • The binge-restrict cycle explained — why eating too little during the day is what’s actually driving your nighttime overeating, not cannabis • How underfueling triggers your brain’s primal survival response, making food feel completely out of control after dark • Why you reach for high-salt, high-sugar, low-nutritional-value foods when you’re high — and why that’s your dopamine reward system, not the munchies • How food manufacturers deliberately engineer products to exploit that reward-seeking response • Why trying to compensate with extra workouts and skipping meals the next day keeps the cycle going • The strategy I use to break the cycle — adding food back in during the day so the brain stops going into panic mode at night • Why planning and prepping snacks before you consume puts you back in control of what happens after Find CannaFit Beth! 🌿 Green & Lean virtual coaching program: cannafitnessnutrition.com/green-and-lean 📱 Instagram: @Beth_cannafitnessnutrition ▶️ YouTube: @Beth_CannaFit 🎙️ Canna Fitness and Nutrition Podcast — available wherever you listen

Cannabis & Meal Prep: How Cannabis Can Make Healthy Eating Easier- Ep 122

Meal prep doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your entire Sunday — and cannabis might be the unexpected tool that actually makes it enjoyable. Beth Jasinski breaks down her moderation-based approach to meal prep, why the all-or-nothing mindset is sabotaging your progress, and how a little THC can turn a dreaded chore into something almost meditative. Key Takeaways: Meal prep doesn’t have to be an all-day event. The all-or-nothing mindset is the enemy. THC helps quiet the scattered, distracted brain — turning a tedious kitchen task into something focused and almost rhythmic. Think of it as getting into a flow state, not zoning out. Recommends Lower dose, earlier in your session. Don’t wait until you’re deep into a high to start prepping. Get the focus buzz going first, then get in the kitchen.
