A New Year is about to begin, and after a season of holiday indulgence, Missourians are going to be ready to feel good. Whether getting healthier and exercising is one of your resolutions for 2022 or you are a fitness buff looking to up your game and change your routine, getting a Missouri medical marijuana card may very well be the key to a healthier you.
Cannabis has a wealth of benefits for those looking to be more active and engage in a healthier lifestyle. And, with microdosing, you’ll be able to experience all the positive effects of medical marijuana without worrying about overdoing it and becoming impaired.
What is Microdosing?
Microdosing is when you consume cannabis in smaller, or “micro” doses on a more frequent basis to receive the benefits of medical marijuana without becoming impaired.

How Can Marijuana Help With Nutrition?
Medical marijuana gets a bad rap for giving users the munchies. While it’s true that cannabis can increase your appetite, that doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. With a concentrated nutrition plan, medical marijuana may actually enhance your desire to consume the types of food that will fuel you on your wellness journey.
Cannabis can be a tool to help you make better eating decisions, because it increases your focus. Don’t take our word for it. Doctor of natural medicine John Axe stated “When somebody is more motivated, such as an athlete, they’re going to be more inclined to make better eating decisions while high.”
De-stress and Lower Cortisol
Cannabis is a natural stress-reliever, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. Because of this, it helps lower the body’s level of cortisol, a hormone that can cause your metabolism to slow down.
You can lower your body’s cortisol levels simply by learning to relax, and cannabis can help you with that. Even meditation practitioners are finding cannabis helps them focus and lower their stress levels so they can tune into the present moment.
Recover With a Good Night’s Sleep
One of the most important factors in maintaining a health and fitness routine is getting a good night’s sleep. It helps with recovery, overall quality of life, and allows you to start the day refreshed. Sleep is also one of the most important factors if you’re trying to lose weight.
One of the many benefits of medical marijuana is the way it can help you sleep better. Cannabis is so effective that most patients prefer medical marijuana to over-the-counter sleep aids.
If You’re in Pain - Marijuana Can Get You Moving
The fact is that it’s hard to exercise if you’re dealing with chronic pain. If you have a medical condition that is holding you back from getting your body moving, there is good news. There is an extensive range of research that shows cannabis can help with chronic pain.
If chronic pain is holding you back from living your best life, get your medical card today. Don’t let chronic pain hold you back when marijuana may be able to provide relief that could improve your quality of life.
Focus and Get in the Zone
One of the more difficult things about maintaining a fitness regimen is the focus required to make it through your workouts. Cannabis is an effective tool to help you stay in the zone while exercising. With microdosing, you don’t have to worry about being impaired, so you can workout safely and effectively.
Many fitness buffs are finding medical marijuana helps them stay in the zone during long distance running. If it can help someone stay focused during a marathon, it can probably help you stay mindful of your own goals and leap over the obstacles in your exercise program.
