Our guest today, Dr. Bridget Cole Williams specializes in family practice and cannabis medicine, was once overwhelmed by numerous frustrations in medicine. However, after seeing how cannabis altered a patient’s life for the better, Dr. Williams pivoted to a fulfilling career and life in the world of cannabis. Dr Williams is the founder of Embody  a medical cannabis interactive clinic based in Ohio, where Dr. Bridget was ahead of the game when it came to treating patients with cannabis. She has quite a story to tell about her journey in medicine, but now, she’s helping others tell their stories and has just published Courage in Cannabis, Vol. 2. We’ll talk about that, along with mental health and cannabis, sleep, skin care with cannabis and much more.
