Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks
A live, come-as-you-are conversation about natural kratom and herbal wellness. Join us for Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks every Thursday at 7 PM EST, where I host a live Zoom session where people can learn about natural kratom, ask questions, connect with others, and hear exactly what is happening in the real world not just in politics or the media, but in the everyday lives of consumers, small businesses, and the farmers who grow this plant. The world of wellness is evolving, and with it comes the necessity for open dialogues about natural remedies. In our discussions, we emphasize the importance of understanding both the benefits and risks associated with herbal supplements, especially kratom. Many individuals are seeking alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals, and kratom has emerged as a popular choice. It’s crucial to share real-life experiences that highlight both the positive outcomes and the challenges faced by users. During our sessions, we focus on practical advice and real stories from people who have integrated kratom into their lives. This personal touch makes our discussions relatable and informative. We often feature guest speakers who share their journeys with herbal medicine, which adds a diverse perspective to our conversations. This format encourages a deeper exploration of topics that are often overlooked. For instance, we discuss recent research findings on kratom and its potential therapeutic benefits. By examining studies, we equip our community with factual information to make informed decisions. Talk Beyond Just The Headlines Natural kratom has helped countless people reclaim quality of life, yet most of what the public hears comes from headlines, not real humans with real experiences. Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks is where that changes. Moreover, we aim to demystify kratom by addressing common myths and misconceptions. This awareness is essential in navigating the discourse surrounding kratom, especially in light of regulatory challenges.

Christopher's Tea Talks Episode 27 February 5, 2026
Weekly Tea Talks Summary This week’s Tea Talk focused on advocacy fatigue, regulatory momentum, and why natural, plain-leaf kratom remains the most defensible and responsible path forward. We discussed how advocacy has become nonstop—hearings, town councils, subcommittees—and how tools like recorded Zoom summaries help keep up when attendance isn’t possible. A key takeaway from recent meetings (including Massachusetts and Georgia): momentum is building toward banning synthetic derivatives while allowing natural kratom leaf to remain legal, albeit with guardrails. A major theme was the critical distinction between natural kratom leaf and synthetic or highly altered derivatives. The group emphasized that these products are not interchangeable, do not share the same safety profiles, and should not be regulated the same way. Education remains the biggest gap policymakers face. We also covered: - Why whole-plant kratom is historically, scientifically, and practically easier to defend - The role of responsible regulation (labeling, testing, age limits, GMPs) versus bans - How poor farming practices, over-harvesting, young trees, fillers, and shortcuts degraded kratom quality post-2018 - Why old-growth, wild-harvested trees produce a fuller alkaloid profile and better outcomes - The importance of farm-to-table traceability, batch testing, and release testing to protect consumers - How misinformation and sensational headlines continue to conflate leaf with synthetics - Why “less is more” remains foundational to responsible kratom use - The need for community-level education, storytelling, and calm, factual advocacy We also had a deep discussion on strain differences, fermented (dark) reds, dosing nuance, digestion, gut health, and why many people don’t need extracts when quality leaf and proper education are in place. The call to action was clear: - Stay grounded - Stay factual - Support responsible standards - Keep telling the truth—even when it’s exhausting

Kratom and 7oh Tapering/Quitting Journals and Guide
I created kratom quitting/tapering guides at http://payhip.com/kratomcommunity. I am trying to build this up into a bit more than what it is and add a YouTube channel to it. Any support is welcome! I check emails on this thing (when I get the chance). There’s a habit tracker (really cute), a tapering journal “How to Qui 7oh.” It isn’t growing as much as I had hoped but it’s a slow grind in the online hustle world.

Weekly MAHA Meetings
I wasn't sure if anyone was interested, but there are MAHA meetings on Wednesdays at 4 pm. Top health professionals are attending, and it may be a good way to talk about natural kratom. I registered for all of the upcoming meetings. https://www.mahaaction.com/mediahub

Mind blowing!
People love to panic about kratom, but let’s talk facts. In the U.S., Tylenol acetaminophen causes around 400–500 deaths every single year, mostly from liver failure and accidental overdose. It’s sold everywhere and considered “safe.” Meanwhile, kratom has been used by millions, and CDC data shows far fewer deaths, with most cases involving multiple substances like opioids or alcohol. Kratom alone is rarely the sole cause. If we truly care about public safety, we need honest comparisons, not fear campaigns. Kratom saves lives for pain patients and people in recovery. Misinformation costs lives. #KeepKratomLegal #HarmReduction #KratomSavesLives #FactsOverFear
