Dr. Anthony Lyons is a professor at Pacific Northwest University, and an expert in neuroscience. We discuss what runner's high is, and many of its misconceptions. While many people think this "high" is from endorphins, Dr. Lyons explains how endocannabinoids also play an important role in this sensation from exercise. We discuss how to achieve a runner's high, and what researchers know and don't know how these endocannabinoid receptors relate to consuming cannabis (marijuana). Dr. Lyons received his PhD in Biochemistry from University of College Cork, Ireland, and focuses on neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease. He is an avid runner and endurance athlete as well!
