Cannabis & Dysthymia (Persistent Low Mood)

Two-way link: Cannabis can worsen ongoing low mood, and low mood can drive heavier use.

False relief: Short-term calm gives way to long-term dullness, fatigue, and lack of motivation.

Research shows: Regular cannabis users—especially those who started young—report higher depressive symptoms and slower recovery.

Better options: Exercise, breathwork, nutrition, quality sleep, and therapy all improve dopamine and serotonin naturally without dulling motivation.

The adolescent and young adult brain is still undergoing major structural and functional changes: synaptic pruning, myelination, maturation of the prefrontal cortex (which governs executive function, impulse control, planning) and development of neural circuits linking emotion, reward, memory.

The brain’s endocannabinoid system (which cannabis acts upon) plays a role in neural development, connectome refining, and regulation of stress, reward and emotion. Interfering with this during a sensitive period may have downstream consequences.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “the teen brain is actively developing and continues to develop until around age 25. Cannabis use during adolescence and young adulthood may harm the developing brain.”

Shoulder Stability & Mobility Work
Sometimes shoulder pain or even “frozen shoulder” develops because the scapula isn’t staying in its proper position — leading to impingement and restriction in the shoulder joint.

Ling and I have been focusing not only on massage therapy but also on stabilization exercises that retrain proper movement and muscular balance. We’re targeting the lats, rhomboids, teres major, rotator cuff complex, pec minor, subscapularis, and supraspinatus to restore shoulder mobility, strength, and long-term joint health.

This combination of hands-on therapy and functional movement is key to unlocking pain-free, stable shoulder mechanics

🌅 A New Day for Recovery

It’s a new day in recovery — and in treatment centers that recognize the full value of comprehensive care.
Group counseling builds connection and accountability. Individual counseling helps uncover and heal the underlying causes. And now, more programs are realizing the importance of pairing that clinical foundation with wellness practices that teach clients how to care for their bodies through nutrition, breathwork, meditation, stretching, and strength training.

When we heal the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — recovery becomes more than just treatment. It becomes a way of life, a gift that continues to bless us in ways too great to measure.

Recovery Fitness & Wellness x Seacrest Recovery
Today, Recovery Fitness & Wellness had the privilege of working with the clients at Seacrest Recovery in Columbus, Ohio, teaching the value and importance of exercise, stretching, breathwork, and meditation.

So many participants experienced the benefits firsthand — moving their bodies, raising their heart rates, engaging their lungs, and getting those feel-good chemicals flowing, leaving the session feeling energized and amazing.

Our mission is simple: to bring the message of fitness and wellness to those in early recovery — helping them heal, rebuild confidence, and gain a lifelong tool to add to their recovery toolkit alongside counseling, 12-Step education, and service work.

Long-term recovery begins with movement — mind, body, and spirit.
