Potcast 123: Coronavirus PSA
The cannabis community is a friendly bunch, always happy to share. But right now, I’m encouraging you to curb the puff puff pass and listen to Potcast 123 with Elyon Williams for the real-real on the Coronavirus and what you can - and should - do right now to safeguard your personal wellness. Take care of Future You and our global family.
‘After the Show’ Notes
How do you prepare for the Coronavirus to make sure you don’t contract it? Here are some highly relevant -and relatively easy - things to do to set yourself up for success.
Preparation + Readiness = Confidence in a Crisis
Elyon Williams is a national level athletic performance coach, and nutritional consultant retired from the nutrition industry. He provides expertise in circumstances where there is a call for definitive results to health challenges. His superpower is compiling data, connecting dots, and producing systematic, step-by-step solutions to critical issues impacting people today.
Elyon got his start in herbology at the early age of 13 during his time training in Shaolin Kung-Fu. Embracing the principle "One must learn to heal before hurting," Elyon later took up studies of nutrition and performance nutrition through the International Sports Science Association, with Program Director, Dr. Hatfield.
During this time, he worked with several nutritional manufacturers, eventually becoming part of the organizational team and the largest distributor of the #1 natural systemic anti-inflammatory at the time, Vitamin P or commercially known as Pycnogenol- a whole new class of bioflavonoid.
His curiosity and quest to help others with optimum wellness led him to continue his studies. Elyon passed the IBNFC Medical Board exam on the first attempt with a near-perfect score. And then, he founded a lab-based nutritional consultancy, Nutrient Deficiency Analytics. His studies focused on blood sugar stabilization, micro-nutrient balancing, and nutritional genomics.
Over 20+ years, Elyon successfully learned to marry his early oriental training in the principles of five element nutrition and traditional Chinese herbology with his western training in nutrition and laboratory test analytics. Elyon has used nutritional protocols which successfully affected challenges from brain tumor-glioblastoma to diabetic neuropathy, to elevated cholesterol, achieving perfect results in these and other nutritional health-related challenges much of the time.
Develop Your Body & Home’s Defense System
Gut health is your first line of defense against the Coronavirus or other pathogens. 80% of our immune system is in our gut. You need to seal off your gut. Here are two reputable products with research and reviews of healing the gut. I use both. Total Restore | PreBio Cleanse
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the options I linked above seem too pricey for you, I encourage you to find a pre- and probiotic solution you feel good about. Gut health is mission-critical.
Lung health is the second consideration as respiratory issues (namely pneumonia) are a symptom of the Coronavirus. You need an economical way to protect the lungs from the virus. Drinking 8-10oz of ozonated water twice a day is a great solution as it actively fights off pathogens. But that varies based on your overall health situation.
HEALTH ADVISORY: Always consult your doctor or medical professional before starting therapeutic health programs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not make ozonated water in plastic. Be sure to use a glass container! And be sure to read the manufacturer's informational booklet for best uses and warnings on the particular unit you purchase. Here’s a recommended unit that is portable and costs under $75.
A breathing apparatus will become necessary as the virus gets eradicated. Infected bodies must be incinerated so air quality declines. A simple hospital mask won’t suffice. The N95 particulate respirator mask is better. Keep a mask for each member of your family - and maybe a few extras to help friends or neighbors. It’s nice to be prepared so you can help others.
Prepare your pantry with water and canned food. I’m going to start grabbing a can of something when I pop into the grocery store each week. I’m not saying go nuts. Just make sure Future You and family have shit to eat in the event the grocery store aisles start looking sparse.
Psychological preparation is a key component when preparing for any potential crisis. It’s important to think through a plan that includes neighbors, close friends, and family.
This one is a tip from my daddy: Make sure you keep your car full of gas so you can get gone when you need to.
Not sharing is caring when it comes to the Coronavirus and cannabis. Don’t share joints, bongs, pipes, and vape pens with anyone you’re not kissing. Smoke the shorties so you don’t have to get casually baked on the same full-size joint for two or three sessions. Garden Society’s pre-roll rosettes are a perfect size for a personal smoke sesh. And use ozonated water in your bong!
And now you’re prepared for the Coronavirus and the zombie apocalypse.
(You’re welcome.)
Moments of uncertainty are a great time to practice being a good human, and use your superpower to help the world.
I'll keep sharing ideas, info, and updates as I receive them from El. If you find value in this information and want to say "thank you" to Elyon and donate to his research efforts, Text the word "GIVE" to 855-965-0270.
Thanks and love,

Feedback From the Casually Baked Tribe
“Talk about Casually Baked Karma…….while listening to the Corona Virus PSA, on my nightstand next to my bed was Dr. Rangan Chatterjee’s book “How to Make Diseases Disappear.” The book was marked at page 80, and the content was discussing the immune system activity that takes place in and around the gut. Wow. Elyon was spot on with the science as well as being an excellent communicator. Thank you both! I guess we all have to go one step beyond the 3 day survival kits we should all have and perhaps extend that to 2 weeks for these emerging diseases.”
‘I think we could all benefit from this... Great stuff! I've already gotten my machine and have made our first gallon of water... bout to start some broccoli sprouts with it. Thank you!” -CCN
