Ep 71: From Desperation to Relief: Stacy Wismer on the Power of Kratom

In this powerful episode, Madalyn sits down with Stacy Wismer, who has faced decades of complex health challenges, including interstitial cystitis, depression, and a rare Tarlov cyst that left her in debilitating pain. After surgeries, medications, and therapies failed to provide lasting relief, a 2022 car accident worsened her condition, and then a friend introduced her to Kratom. Starting with small doses and experimenting with strains, Stacy discovered a life-changing balance that brought her pain down from an eight to a two.

Today, Kratom not only eases Stacy's chronic pain but also helps with menopause-related joint pain and lifts her mood. While mindful of minor side effects, she says the benefits far outweigh them. Now a passionate advocate, she educates others on safe, responsible use and the importance of sourcing only from reputable vendors. Her story is one of resilience, hope, and reclaiming the ability to live fully again.
