#11: Kratom (Dr. Oliver Grundman)

Kratom is a leaf from a tropical plant, often dried and crushed for easy shipment, then brewed into tea or swallowed in a gelcap by consumers, like you and me. Kratom is showing incredible potential for treating withdrawal symptoms from opioid use, and we haven't even begun to test it in clinical trials. But for many addicted people, and for people dealing with pain who don't want to take opioids, kratom is a game-changer. In this episode, Dr. Grundmann shares his latest research on kratom. Support the show
