We really need better education on how physical health improves mental health. Lots of studies out there on how exercise reduces depression, increases retention, helps problem solve, etc., while obesity and blood sugar issues can really impact your mental well being.

Take care of your body to take care of your mind!

Maybe, but it could just be that they don’t want to pay the surcharge fee I’ve encountered when using my card to pay at the dispensary, if they even take it. Some here in Vegas are cash only.
