Our world-class cannabis experts are also happy to meet with you one-on-one to guide you on your cannabis journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A personalized consult gives you trusted, customized, and compassionate cannabis education. It\u2019s valuable whether you\u2019re a newcomer or a seasoned expert with cannabis, CBD, and hemp products \u2013 you\u2019re in the right place!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as a personalized trainer gets to know your experience level and goals, a cannabis coach listens to your wellness goals and preferences to create a personalized cannabis action plan that works best for you or a loved one. The best part? It doesn\u2019t necessarily need to involve smoking or getting high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to the world of personalized consults!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a Personalized Consult?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A personalized consult is Veriheal\u2019s appointment category for individualized, cannabis health coaching sessions. You can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/personalized-cannabis-consultation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book 15- or 25-minute consultations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, depending on your health and wellness goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll meet with an expert who can teach you how to choose, improve, or optimize your cannabis experience for your personal needs and aims. A cannabis coach can help you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Answer questions about cannabis, hemp, and terpenes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a local dispensary or reputable online hemp brand<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peruse and explain retail menus with you\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advise on product selection, route, dosing, titration, frequency, and more<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn and discover the effects of different cannabinoids, terpenes, ratios, and consumption experiences<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimize your cannabis regimen for healthy, safe consumption<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you already have medical or adult-use cannabis in your area, a cannabis coach can offer insights into cannabis science and how it may influence your routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who are Cannabis Coaches?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As cannabis health coaches, or cannacoaches, our job is to be informed and stay up-to-date on cannabis science, research, and consumer trends to best serve you and answer relevant questions and concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On average, cannacoaches have greater healthcare and scientific experience than budtenders. It\u2019s also easier to have a private conversation, follow up, and build a long-term relationship with a trusted cannacoach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannacoaches usually have backgrounds in nursing, alternative or holistic medicine, and pharmacy, or are certified cannabis health and wellness coaches. You\u2019ll find many here at Veriheal or integrative and holistic clinics like mine at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gwcim.com\/people\/abebenavides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GW Center for Integrative Medicine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some dispensaries may have cannabis coaches on staff in addition to budtenders, but the retail setting is suboptimal for privacy and may feel rushed or incomplete. Meeting with a cannacoach privately online is more comfortable than describing your personal situation inside a bustling dispensary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How is Cannabis Coaching Different From a Healthcare or Doctor\u2019s Visit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannabis coaching is only meant to guide you on the logistics and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">practicality <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of how you can best approach and optimize your cannabis, CBD, and hemp product regimens for your health and wellness goals. It\u2019s not a substitute for adequate, timely medical care or professional medical advice from your doctors or healthcare team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should always talk to your healthcare provider first before taking cannabinoids for any reason. It\u2019s important to have routine check-ups, follow-ups for complicated cases, and ask your provider any health questions first. Your doctor may recommend cannabis for your condition, and a cannabis coach can teach you where and what forms are available, suitable for your needs, and how to take them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannacoaches aren\u2019t necessarily licensed healthcare providers and thus cannot diagnose, treat, prevent, or mitigate any disease on their own. However, we can work with you, your doctor, and your healthcare team to suggest a reasonable cannabis action plan for symptomatic relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is This The Same as Getting a Medical Recommendation or a Medical Cannabis Card?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, the goal of a personalized consult is for educational purposes only and doesn\u2019t provide you with a medical cannabis recommendation or dispensary access. However, obtaining a medical recommendation still <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/why-would-i-get-a-medical-marijuana-card-if-its-rec-in-my-state\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yields several advantages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, like help with product selection, quantity, tax discounts, age requirements, limited legal protections, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get a medical cannabis card or dispensary access, you need to book a separate appointment with a licensed doctor or provider in your state. You can easily <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/find-a-medical-marijuana-doctor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book one through Veriheal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can I Have a Personalized Consultation if Cannabis Isn\u2019t Legal in My Area Yet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely.

Unfortunately, this is a healthcare industry standard set by today\u2019s insurance landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are few insurance plans that reimburse health coaching, including cannabis health coaching, if certain conditions are met. For example, they may require submitting diagnosis codes and consult notes. You must check with your insurance plan to verify term details and reimbursement options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do I Need to Know Anything About Cannabis Before I Go?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can meet with or without cannabis access or even knowing how any of it works.
