Ep 74: Stephanie's Journey: Finding Freedom from Addiction and Pain with Kratom

Stephanie shares her powerful journey of overcoming opioid addiction and chronic pain with the help of Kratom. After a horseback riding accident left her with lifelong pain, she turned to prescription medications, which eventually spiraled into addiction. While searching online for ways to stop, she discovered Kratom and was able to quit opioids without rehab. Over the last nine years, she has found Kratom to be the only consistent solution that relieves her back pain, eases her anxiety and depression, and supports her overall well-being. She even gained the support of her family by openly educating them, transforming their initial concern into full acceptance as they saw her life improve.

In this episode, Stephanie and Madalyn discuss the differences between Kratom leaf powder and products like 7OH, the role of tolerance and strain rotation, and how misinformation and bans create unnecessary fear and harm for consumers. Stephanie explains how Kratom allows her to work demanding 12-hour shifts in veterinary emergency care, manage flare-ups, and even recover from a recent car accident without resorting to opioids. Her story is a testament to how Kratom can restore quality of life and empower people to move forward free from addiction and pain.
