Author and natural health lifestyle expert Robyn Griggs Lawrence joins the podcast today. Robyn decided to give cannabis a try in 2009 after her doctor recommended it to treat her dysmenorrhea and mood swings. And while cannabis doesn't make her symptoms entirely disappear, it takes the edge off of them enough that she's able to deal with whatever life throws at her.

It was only recently that Robyn realized that the extreme mood swings before her menstrual cycle weren't just PMS; they were Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). We have been trying to get this interview lined up for several months but weren't able to do so until now in April - which just happens to be PMDD awareness month. Sounds like kismet to me!

We also chat about Robyn's 2015 book The Cannabis Kitchen Cookbook and her soon to be released book, Pot in Pans, on the history of eating cannabis. Enjoy!
