Sharon Winkler is a passionate advocate for Kratom and a testament to its potential benefits. After years of battling chronic pain from multiple injuries and facing barriers to traditional pain management, she found relief through Kratom. Her experience inspired her to become a vocal advocate, dedicating her time to raising awareness and fighting for responsible access to this natural remedy. Sharon shares her story to educate others and fight for policy changes that reflect the potential benefits of Kratom.
On this week's Kratom Stories, Madalyn Sklar speaks with Sharon Winkler, whose life was transformed by Kratom. A high-powered manager facing chronic pain from debilitating injuries and dropped by her doctor due to 2016 DEA opioid restrictions, Sharon found relief in Kratom. This remarkable plant not only alleviated her suffering but also enabled her to return to work and ignited a passion for advocacy.
Sharon's personal journey highlights the desperate need for alternative pain management solutions and the struggles many face navigating restrictive opioid policies. Her story takes a compelling twist as she secures a job at the very Kratom shop where she first discovered the plant's benefits, allowing her to directly help others experiencing similar challenges and solidifying her role as a determined advocate.
Sharon's advocacy is driven by the frustrating and unjust criminalization of Kratom in several states, leading to harsh legal consequences for users. She passionately urges listeners to become informed consumers, seeking knowledge from reputable sources like the American Kratom Association and actively participating in advocating for responsible regulations. Her powerful story emphasizes the importance of sharing personal experiences, combating misinformation, and promoting the responsible use of Kratom as a potential natural pain management remedy.
