2020 Vision: Controlling Anxiety

By Michael Moses • The Centre-St. Pete Beach

Michael Moses is the CEO of The Centre – St. Pete Beach health and wellness, also home to Triverde Health, a medical marijuana doctor recommendation group.

During these anxious times, controlling stress and your life seems to be more challenging. Use of anti-anxiety meds in women is climbing (34% as of mid-April 2020).  People have trouble sleeping. Grief over lost friends or family or just our active, free-to-roam lifestyle is very, very real. We’re in pain, and we want healthy alternatives to help get us through the day…and night.

The Centre of St. Pete Beach and Triverde Health are dedicated to relieving anxiety and pain and reducing sleep issues and other conditions with medical cannabis treatments. Triverde Health has dispensaries that deliver to The Centre for curbside pickup and to homes for those with a medical marijuana card.

We can also help you apply for a new card or renew your current Doctor Recommendation prior to its 7-month expiration 45 days before it expires. You must see the doctor within 7 months of the Doctor Recommendation. The card is good for 12 months: card’s date of issue. (Learn about obtaining a medical marijuana card at www.triverde.com/faqs-1)

Medical Director Dr. Luis Ycaza is available for telehealth and in-person consultations in a safe, social distancing environment. “We can help you learn how to integrate CBD (pharma-quality cannabis without THC) or medical cannabis treatments (with THC) into your life for a variety of conditions, including anxiety and PTSD, and we customize a treatment that is right for you.”

Regain Control–You Decide: Medical marijuana is widely known to have anti-stress properties that can help us get ‘Control’ with micro-dosing that depends on your activity level and how you feel day to day. You are in control of what you use, based on the doctor’s recommendation. Sleep poorly, exercise too strenuously, bad news reaction stress attack?  

According to research, CBD has been shown to decrease anxiety best at high doses, while THC decreases anxiety at lower doses (and may increase it at higher doses).  Studies show that CBD acts as an antagonist to stress hormones, affecting serotonin receptors, and are a good alternative to anti-anxiety medications.Take care of your emotional health, pain, stress and inflammation due to stress with micro-dosing. If you are new to this, you may start with medical marijuana with high CBD with low amounts of THC to see how your body processes the micro-dose.  

You can take it in a tincture, under your tongue or on your skin (transdermal patch or cream) one to several times a day. Everyone is different. Many of our patients find a small amount of THC enhances the effect of CBD and makes their medicine more effective and affordable for them than smoking pot. A secondary benefit? It can be a powerful immune booster.

Testimonial–  “The micro dosing of Medical Marijuana has virtually removed my anxiety and on those occasions when I get “break through” anxiety then I will do an extra micro-dose and the anxiety quickly becomes manageable.  Frankly, I thought my whole life the anxiety was driven by my Italian DNA blood (passionate and hot tempered).  Those who have worked with me for 15 years see me as a different person.”
