    In open, Nolan talks about how sobriety is not just the absence of a substance in your life. Kevin took kratom for the first 7 years ago, but it made him nauseous, and he didn't return to it again until January 2024. After just a year of drinking the kava-kratom tonics, Kevin quit at the first of the year 2025.

    PLEASE NOTE: In the first three minutes of the interview, the guest's audio is choppy. We improved the sound as much as possible, and it gets better later on.

    In this episode, Marilyn Lynch joins the podcast to share the life and legacy of her late husband, Matthew James Lynch, who passed away on May 25, 2024, at the age of 44. A devoted husband, father of three, and talented chef, Matt died from an apparent kratom-induced seizure. Matthew was pursuing a degree in accounting at Liberty University, where he maintained a 3.61 GPA. He participated in Celebrate Recovery and was connected to AA, maintaining 1,037 days of sobriety from alcohol when he passed.

    A Florida-born skater as a kid, later becoming a drummer as part of his deep love of music—especially metal—he was known for his devotion to his family. After enduring chronic pain from a car accident, Matt sought alternatives to prescription opioids and began using kratom, a legal herbal substance marketed as natural and safe. What began as a hopeful path to healing quietly evolved into a difficult dependency, culminating in a series of unexplained seizures and ultimately, his untimely passing.

    The autopsy report later confirmed kratom as a contributing factor in his death. A postmortem toxicology screen conducted via liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) detected mitragynine at 5.2 mg/L and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-HMG) at 0.74 mg/L. Naloxone was present, due to attempted reversal of opioid effects, by emergency responders. Amphetamines, benzodiazepines, traditional opioids, ethanol, cocaine metabolites, or gabapentin/pregabalin were NOT detected. At time on death, Matthew was on prescribed anti-seizure, heart and cholesterol medications. Today, Marilyn now honors his memory by speaking out, sharing his story to raise awareness about the unregulated risks of kratom.

helps for kratom cessation

appreciate this pod, don't have a severe case as some of the guests here, but I found it hard to quit the powder capsule habit that got out of hand the last year or so. it was nice to hear other people's stories and all the tips to get off especially as someone without a past history of addiction and all my existing knowledge about recovery is from watching the tv show intervention!

INCREDIBLY HELPFUL

This show has been a gift from the universe as I tackle a terrible and insidious addiction to a “natural supplement.” You need real information about Kratom, and all related topics? You’ve found it.

Honest Negative Kratom Experiences

There is much bad faith and gaslighting from the industry and some advocates who insist only praise for this plant. If you actually listen to this podcast, you will hear a self-help volunteer team trying to assist others who have been addicted to kratom and can't quit. They make it clear it should not be banned, but there needs to be better warnings and regulations, and the industry should be less predatory.

The hosts acknowledge the potential harm reduction and therapeutic benefits of the herb. The reality is kratom can end up being a very problematic transfer or new addiction for many people, one that costs money and health, and can lead to relapse to more dangerous substances. Keep up this important work and we will keep listening.

Bitter and dangerous

Garbage 'info', and the whole pod is a joke. Kratom has saved so many lives. You're a laughingstock, and maybe someday you'll see that. Probably not, your ridiculous ego trip would never allow it.
