Kratom Stories Podcast

This week on Kratom Stories, hear Nova Dean's incredible journey from a life consumed by chronic pain and high-dose opioid medication to a state of vibrant well-being thanks to Kratom. Diagnosed with a complex array of conditions, including lupus, fibromyalgia, and PTSD, Nova's pain management became a daily struggle. After years of research and cautious experimentation, she discovered Kratom - a decision supported by open-minded doctors. She transitioned away from 11 medications, dramatically improving her physical and mental health. Nova describes how Kratom significantly reduced her pain levels, and also boosted her energy, mood, and sleep – improving aspects of her life previously overshadowed by chronic illness. Her holistic approach, including practices like Reiki, and her mindful engagement with the plant are both inspiring and insightful.

Nova shares practical advice for others starting their Kratom journey: research thoroughly, try samples to find what works best, and keep detailed notes. She emphasizes the importance of responsible use, highlighting how Kratom helped her gain control of her pain without the debilitating side effects of her previous medications. Instead of relying on it for mood alteration, she suggests a mindful approach focused on pain relief to avoid potential issues. This episode offers a powerful example of the transformative potential of plant medicine and the empowering journey of self-advocacy. Nova’s story showcases Kratom's role not just in managing pain, but in restoring quality of life and a renewed sense of self.

Lupus Warrior and Vibrational Medicine Practitioner

Nova has severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and PTSD. They came to kratom for treatment of chronic pain and mood regulation. They deeply believe in plant medicine’s place in their medical toolkit. Having a debilitating chronic disease with no cure like SLE can be devastating. However, kratom has given Nova hope and relief for many of their medical conditions. Using a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western medicine, yoga, vibrational medicines, Reiki, and plant medicines like kratom has been the pathway towards them living a better quality of life. They believe that we must advocate for our health fiercely. For over a decade they have taken kratom for soothing their mind and body and thus restoring their spirit. They believe this plant is a miracle; a gift from the Earth.
