    Ep 28: Surviving Loss and Addiction: Jenifer Martin's Inspiring Kratom Story
    May 24 2024
    Jenifer Martin, a recovering addict and mother of four, joins Madalyn on the podcast to share her powerful journey. Struggling with addiction for years, Jenifer's life took a dark turn with the rise of fentanyl, leading to homelessness and the devastating loss of her husband. After hitting rock bottom, she found solace in a Florida detox and residential program where she discovered Kratom through a fellow patient. Since incorporating Kratom into her life, Jenifer has experienced a profound transformation. It has helped her manage anxiety, depression, and ADHD, allowing her to break free from drug dependence. Now two years clean, she credits Kratom for giving her the drive, motivation, and focus to rebuild her life, reconnect with her family, and pursue her dream of becoming a therapist. Jennifer's story is a shining example of Kratom's capacity to facilitate positive change, offering hope and inspiration to others seeking a path to recovery.

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

    Ep 27: Empathy in Medicine: Dr. Mike's Approach to Chronic Pain & Kratom
    May 17 2024
    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.

  • Ep 26: Tara's Triumph: Conquering Pain and Depression with Kratom

    Ep 26: Tara's Triumph: Conquering Pain and Depression with Kratom
    May 10 2024
    In this episode of Kratom Stories, we meet Tara R., a nurse who discovered Kratom just three weeks ago (April 2024) and is already experiencing profound changes in her life. After years of battling mental health issues like bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety, along with chronic pain caused by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and degenerative disc disease, Tara was at her wit's end. Traditional treatments weren't providing relief, and she found herself in a dark place. But then, Kratom entered her life, offering a glimmer of hope. Tara shares how Kratom has not only significantly reduced her pain levels, making daily activities manageable again, but has also lifted her mood and improved her overall well-being. She describes experiencing a newfound sense of calm, centeredness, and positivity that has helped her overcome her depression and anxiety. With Kratom's support, Tara feels more empowered to engage in social interactions and push herself further than she thought possible. As a nurse, Tara brings a unique perspective to the Kratom community, understanding both the medical and patient sides of the equation. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of this botanical wonder and its potential to improve the lives of those struggling with pain and mental health challenges.
