This week we talk to Dr. Jami A. Kinnucan! Dr. Kinnucan is a Senior Associate Consultant at Mayo Clinic in Florida (or as she calls it- the Sandy Mayo) and she is an IBD specialist. She has a special interest in and researches cannabis and IBD and so we spend a lot of time hearing all about the limited research available and on the importance of talking to your doctor about cannabis use. It was really interesting to hear about the research that's been done but there's still so much to learn.

We also talked to her about her involvement with Scrubs & Heels which is a group for female GI providers that provides support, mentoring, and promotion of women in the field or looking to join the GI field. Their summit sounds so fun and we're totally holding Dr. Kinnucan to her promise to help us get an invite. Look for BM live at Scrubs & Heels in February 2023! ;)
