Ep #318: Sold next to candy at gas stations. Marketed as safe. But is kratom really harmless? What happens when a “safe alternative” turns out to be anything but safe?
In this raw and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Tim, a longtime listener turned client, to share the truth about kratom, from its growing popularity to the devastating consequences it hides. Between crippling withdrawals to unregulated pills laced with fentanyl, this episode shines a light on the dark side of a substance many dismiss as harmless.
Highlights:
-
The unbearable reality of kratom withdrawals lasting weeks
-
How “gas station pills” can mask a fentanyl risk
-
Why kratom hooks the brain like opioids
-
Tim’s journey from back pain relief to full-blown dependency
-
The role of suboxone in breaking free
