vendredi 21 juin 2024Duration 34:03

In this episode of Kratom Stories, Madalyn speaks with Venus Usher, an ardent Kratom advocate who shares her transformative journey from suffering to healing. Venus recounts her years of enduring chronic pain due to endometriosis and the subsequent ill effects of FDA-approved medications like Lupron, which led to extreme measures, including multiple surgeries, opioid prescriptions, and even turning to the streets for relief.

vendredi 14 juin 2024Duration 35:41

On this episode of Kratom Stories, listeners will hear a raw and honest conversation with guest Scars Rodriguez as he details his harrowing battle with chronic pain stemming from a childhood diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. After enduring countless surgeries and grappling with the destructive cycle of prescription opioids, a defeated Scars found himself contemplating ending his own life.

Ep 29: From College Stress to Kratom Success: Soren Shade's Story

Episode 29

vendredi 31 mai 2024Duration 01:00:51

Soren Shade, a Kratom advocate and entrepreneur, shares his unconventional introduction to the plant. While battling the pressures of studying at Columbia University, he found himself overly reliant on caffeine, leading to sleep deprivation and compromised well-being. Soren's discovery of Kratom through an episode of Hamilton's Pharmacopoeia, ironically, led him to a healthier relationship with stimulants. Kratom provided the energy boost he needed without the caffeine jitters, allowing him to excel in his studies while improving his sleep and overall mental health.  

What started as a personal solution for Soren blossomed into a passion for drug education and policy reform. He dives into the cultural stigmas surrounding Kratom and other substances, advocating for a science-based approach to understanding their effects. Soren emphasizes the importance of responsible use, education, and supporting brands that prioritize consumer safety and responsible marketing. 

Tune in to hear more from Soren Shade as he shares his insights on navigating the complex world of Kratom, promoting informed consumption, and advocating for sensible drug policies.

Ep 27: Empathy in Medicine: Dr. Mike's Approach to Chronic Pain & Kratom

Episode 27

vendredi 17 mai 2024Duration 38:52

In this episode of Kratom Stories, Madalyn talks to Dr. Mike, a primary care provider who also treats chronic pain and happens to be a pain patient himself. He's gained an impressive following on TikTok for his candid discussions about pain management and patient advocacy. Dr. Mike shares his personal experience with chronic pain and how it transformed his approach to treating others. He sheds light on the challenges patients face, including dismissive medical professionals and limited access to effective pain relief options, particularly opioid medications. He's even written a brand new book, You Are More, that helps patients advocate for their health.

Discovering Kratom through his online community, Dr. Mike reveals his positive experience with the plant, advocating for responsible use and sourcing from quality vendors. While he encourages the exploration of Kratom as a potential alternative for pain management, he advises against mixing it with prescribed pain medications. He stresses the need for medical professionals to be better informed about Kratom so they can educate their patients and provide alternative solutions for pain relief, especially as access to opioid medications becomes increasingly restricted.
