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.

What Is Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl?
A Clear, Science-Based Look at a Potent Semi-Synthetic Compound Misrepresented as “Kratom” Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl — often called MP or “pseudo” — is not part of the natural kratom leaf. It’s a semi-synthetic, highly potent opioid-like compound that has entered the marketplace through adulterated products misbranded as “kratom.” Scientists have been studying MP for its unusual pharmacology, its powerful receptor activity, and its implications for both drug development and public health. Regulators are paying attention for very different reasons: MP is potent, it’s unregulated, and in many cases it’s being sold as kratom when it is not kratom at all. Let’s break down exactly what it is — and what consumers, advocates, and policymakers need to know. 🔬 Is Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl Found Naturally in Kratom? No. Scientific literature is crystal clear on this point: ✔ Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl is not found in natural Mitragyna speciosa leaf. - It does not appear in fresh or dried kratom leaves. - It is considered a semi-synthetic compound, an oxidative rearrangement product, or a metabolite formed after consumption, not a native plant alkaloid. Evidence:A widely cited metabolism study (Kamble et al., 2020) confirmed that MP is formed in human plasma after 7-hydroxymitragynine is metabolized, not inside the plant.➜ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7737207 Another medicinal-chemistry paper confirms MP was absent from all natural leaf samples analyzed.➜ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37332089 This distinction matters. MP’s presence in a commercial product typically means chemical manipulation, not traditional kratom. 🌿 Understanding the Difference: Natural vs. Semi-Synthetic Alkaloids Here is the clean breakdown your customers and policymakers need: 1. Mitragynine (MG) - The primary natural alkaloid in kratom. - Usually 60–70% of total alkaloid content. - Functions as a partial opioid receptor agonist, but with a broad, multi-receptor profile.

Christopher's Bloodwork December 8, 2025
I'm sharing my recent bloodwork metabolic panel results. I get numerous questions about how natural kratom can affect bloodwork and health in general. I've been a daily kratom consumer since 2016. I use roughly 5 grams 4 times per day. I use my tested kratom and do not purchase anywhere else. Making sure that you are consuming clean kratom is very important. There are heavy metals and specific areas that should not be harvested from. I am also including a link to my heavy metals hair test from earlier this year. https://christophersorganicbotanicals.com/clean-living-htma-test-heavy-metals-in-kratom/

Ashwagandha and Blue Lotus
Diana is joined once again by Tashiana Reaves to talk about two plants that pair really well with each other: ashwagandha and blue lotus. They also work well with kratom, accentuating the benefits. Tashiana talks about different applications, consumption methods, and spiritual integrations of the two plants. Following the main segment is a new Christopher’s Corner, where Christopher Deaney talks about important legislation and ways to get involved that require very little effort (but have real impact). He also points out some product highlights and specials, offering listeners a special discount code. https://www.yourhighnessmedia.com/p/ashwagandha-and-blue-lotus
