The Endocannabinoid System
Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a complex system in the human body that plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including pain sensation, immune response, and neuroprotection. Cannabinoids interact with this system (primarily through CB1 and CB2 receptors) to exert their effects.
Using the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) as the model, ECS Wellness offers personalized cannabinoid care.
As Integrative Medicine Specialists, we use multiple modalities, such as mind-body medicine, lifestyle medicine, and cannabis therapeutics to help patients re-calibrate and return to homeostasis or balance.
ECS Wellness providers offer prescriptive guidance on how to increase one’s production of endocannabinoids in combination with supplementing with phytocannabinoids from cannabis to achieve an optimal quality of life.

Understanding Your ECS
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is your body’s natural balancing mechanism—orchestrating rhythm, tempo, and tone throughout your entire system. More than just regulating sleep, memory, mood, appetite, and pain, the ECS is fundamental to maintaining harmony between mind and body.
Your body produces its own cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) that interact with specialized receptors throughout your nervous system, helping to restore balance when life’s stressors throw you off kilter. This system is designed to return you to your natural state of wellness and ease.
At ECS Wellness, we work with you to optimize your ECS through two primary approaches:
- Increasing your body's own cannabinoid production through mindful activities
- Expert guidance in the use of medical marijuana to regulate your ECS.
Our goal is to help you achieve your optimal ECS wellness —the balanced state where you can experience greater peace, clarity, and well-being in your daily life.

Dr. Zaklin is refreshing, to say the least. He's very knowledgeable, but he's down to earth and doesn't lord his knowledge over your head. He actually SHARES his knowledge instead. His staff is incredible, too. From the first moment I called the office, I was treated with the utmost friendliness and respect from everyone I talked to. Dr. Z's staff had nothing but good things to say about him, and he had nothing but good things to say about them. That's important to me even as a patient. I like to see that the people who are giving me care are HUMAN BEINGS and that they work as a team. I truly believe I'm being treated, not just my symptoms.
