This video tells you the science behind cacao’s bliss chemicals. Below the video get links to great products, recipes & more info on your body’s Endocannabiniod System. Relax your body and mind while becoming stronger!
Chocolate does indeed make us feel blissed out. It is actually an ANANDAMIDE.
Ananda = Internal Bliss in Sanskrit
Anandamide is an endocannabinoid. That means that once in the human body it works with our natural Endocannabanoid System to keep us healthy and balanced.
Here is some research from the Cannabis Nurses Network How to support the Endocannabinoid System without Marijuana
“Cocoa powder contains three constituents that are structurally similar to endocannabinoids.
70% or higher dark chocolate or raw cacao are higher in these cannabinoid-like compounds. Cacao is rich in anandamide-like molecules, an endocannabinoid that is naturally produced in the human brain and regulates mood, memory, appetite, and pain perception.
Anandamide is known as the “bliss” neurotransmitter because it causes a euphoric “high” when released — it is often called the body’s natural version of THC. Plant-derived anandamide-like molecules (as found in cacao) lingers in the body, drawing out the joyful feeling longer than an average runner’s high. This is also why women crave chocolate during their monthly cycles, due to their anandamide levels being deficient”
Here is more great info on chocolate and Anandamide by the man that literally wrote the book on chocolate NAKED CHOCOLATE, David Wolfe:
Anandamide in Raw Cacao & Raw Chocolate
In 1996, just a little over a decade after the discovery of neurotransmitter PEA compounds (love chemicals) in chocolate, researchers discovered the bliss chemical “anandamide” in chocolate. And, as far as I know, chocolate is the only food to contain anandamide. Anandamide is an endogenous ligand that your body produces when you feel a workout “high.” It is a natural pleasure molecule that fits into the cannabinoid receptor sites of the cells of the nervous system. Anandamide has been associated with improving motivation and increasing pleasure. A study published in July 1998 indicated that anandamide inhibits human breast cancer cells.

Our human bodies have tiny cannabis like molecules floating around in us. They are called Endocannabinoids .
Your endocannabinoid levels are higher after running, cycling or having sex. This is why we feel relaxed, less anxious and sometimes feel “high”
Yes, these molecules are structurally similar to the cannabis plant. CLICK HERE for article from Harvard Health . Cacao also has endocannabinoids called Anandamide.
Our human bodies have Cannabaniod Receptors! These are known as CB1 and CB2 receptors. These molecules and receptors are your ENDOCANNABINIOD SYSTEM.
The First Endocannabinoid was first discovered in 1992 (How the Endocannabiniod System was discovered) Even now in 2022 as I write this my computer does not recognize the word “Endocannabiniod”
My purpose here is to 1. Give you a quick run down on your body and cannabiniods & 2. Understand why CBD & Chocolate give you amazing benefits + know exactly what to use. CLICK HERE for my list:)
Let’s do this!
Here’s an easy way to understand your ECS:
The molecules are in you all the time. The molecules stimulate the receptors. The receptors work like traffic cops.
They control the levels and activity of other neurotransmitters. They immediately regulate your body by turning up or turning down the activity of whichever system needs to be adjusted. Whether it’s hunger, temperature or alertness.
The ECS regulates and controls critical bodily functions :
Cannabis (from the plant) works it’s effect by hijacking our ancient cellular machinery.
THis has been proven to have some highly beneficial effects in humans. Michael Pollan, author of The Botany of Desire that cannabis is a plant that humans have co-evolved with for thousands of years. Pollan writes that because the act of forgetting plays a valuable role in the ability of our brains to function without being overloaded with data from our senses that we are continually bombarded with.
Pollan hypothesizes that if we didn’t forget we wouldn’t function. Cannabis helps us do this.
I want you to have super approcahable ways to enhance your ECS to keep you even more healthy, balanced and calm. This is why I highly encourage Chocolate & CBD products.
