Dr. Chalmers believes that cannabis can substitute opioids for chronic pain, thus reducing opioid deaths significantly. Due to the stigma and history of cannabis, it is often a hard topic to discuss but it needs to be had to save lives and end the opioid epidemic. Dr. Matt Chalmers is a health and wellness expert, author, and speaker who specializes in the areas of long-term wellness, nutrition, women’s health, weight loss, athlete wellness, and holistic healing.
With a client list that includes professional athletes, business executives, politicians, and celebrities, Dr. Chalmers takes a holistic-based approach with patients to identify and treat the source of their issues. Medical doctors regularly refer patients to Dr. Chalmers when traditional medications and treatments aren’t working with their patients.
Dr. Chalmers works with patients to identify, treat and manage a wide variety of issues, including weight loss/gain, digestive problems, chronic fatigue, pain, injuries, celiac disease, chiropractic problems, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, and plantar fasciitis. He also provides patients with hormone therapy guidance and treatment.
Dr. Chalmers is the author of the bestselling book “Pillars of Wellness,” which helps readers cut through the information overload about wellness, exercise, and diet to figure out the actions they can take that will have the greatest impact. The book details how to fuel the body physically, mentally, and spiritually. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
