Endocannabinoid Course

with David Krantz

With the massive growth in the cannabis and CBD markets, your clients are interested in or already using cannabinoids whether you're prepared to help them or not. The CannaDNA course is a deep dive into how genetics influence the individual response to cannabis and will certify you to use the Apeiron Endocannabinoid Panel in your practice.


That way you can help your clients make informed decisions while giving you an additional income-producing offering that will set your services apart.

In this course, you'll learn how to:

  • Identify if clients are good candidates for cannabisDetermine optimal dosage ranges

  • Text length of individual points can be shorter or longer depending on your needs

  • ​Reduce risk for drug/drug interactions

  • ​Prevent unwanted cognitive side effects

  • Guide personalized strain and product selection

  • Improve client outcomes and optimize use of cannabinoids

  • ​Interpret the Apeiron Genomics Endocannabinoid Panel and understand other Tests on the Market

  • Use genetic interpretation best practices for more effective results

  • Based on 183 peer-reviewed references, each module covers the scientific literature in-depth and shows you how to apply it directly to your clients using the Apeiron Endocannabinoid Panel.

MODULES INCLUDE:

  • OVERVIEW

    Overview of the Endocannabinoid System - Get clear on the science and function of cannabinoid receptors, endogenous cannabinoids, enzymes, and more so you have solid foundation to work from.

  • CUSTOM PROTOCOLS

    Modulating the Endocannabinoid System - Learn all the ways to shift endocannabinoid function through exogenous cannabinoids, terpenes, and dietary and lifestyle factors so you can create precise custom protocols.

  • COGNITIVE FUNCTION

    Cognitive Function and THC - Identify which genetic variants are protective factors against things like short term memory dysfunction with THC, impaired reaction time or impulsivity, brain structure changes, so you can help clients reduce risk and choose the right products.

  • CBD METABOLISM

    CBD Metabolism - Identify which clients may require higher doses of CBD due to faster metabolism and which clients may be more prone to drug/drug interactions so you can help clients with pain relief, sleep, anxiety and more

  • SUBJECTIVE RESPONSE

    Subjective Response to THC - Know which genetic variants may make certain people more prone to paranoia or anxiety so you can mitigate negative effects through correct balance of terpenes, cannabinoids, and other factors

  • RECEPTOR DYNAMICS

    Cannabinoid Receptor Dynamics - Genetic variants that influence receptor density and sensitivity to better understand your client's biology.

  • STRESS RESPONSE

    Genetic Influences on Stress Response - Help your clients understand their resiliency vs risk factors in the EC system so you can identify how cannabinoids can help improve stress response

  • THC METABOLISM

    THC Metabolism - Learn how to screen for genetic factors that impair THC metabolism and make certain people hypersensitive to THC so you can better predict proper dosages

  • ADDICTIVE TENDENCIES

    Cannabis Dependence and Withdrawal - Identify genetic variants associated with addictive tendencies so you can holistically weave this into working with clients that want to reduce or change their usage
