This was such a wonderful day, September 13, 2016 https://youtu.be/UiMdC9rzDIU?si=6e3KELgFRxFHrQ7G

I just wanted to post an update. I will be having vascular surgery on my right leg tomorrow. I've cut back on my kratom over the past week and am ready to go. I won't be taking my morning serving of kratom powder, but I am taking small amounts today. From everything I've gathered, as long as I abstain from any kratom for about 12-18 hours before surgery, I will be fine. I will let you know how this theory plays out.:) For people dealing with chronic pain, going days without any relief is just not going to happen, plain and simple. I will keep everyone posted! This is the first of a few surgeries I'll be having this year. My left leg in February. I want us all to learn and understand kratom and anesthesia better. If anyone is interested in the details, I uploaded my diagnosis and notes into ChatGPT for more explanation. https://chatgpt.com/share/6942fe51-3950-8010-add1-25ed120bb22b

Ever wondered why everyone from fitness lovers to stressed-out moms is suddenly talking about Ashwagandha? Is it just another trendy Ashwagandha supplement, or does it actually work? Let’s break it down so you understand what Ashwagandha is, how it works, and if it actually fits your lifestyle. What Is Ashwagandha? So, What Is Ashwagandha? Basically, it’s a natural herb derived from the Ashwagandha plant and used for centuries in traditional wellness practices. The most powerful part is the Ashwagandha root, which is where all the goodness comes from. You will usually find it as Ashwagandha powder, Ashwagandha capsules, or even Ashwagandha tea. In simple terms, it helps your body better handle stress. And honestly, in today’s hectic life, anything that helps you stay calm feels like a blessing. Does Ashwagandha Work? Alright, let’s be real for a second. Does Ashwagandha work, or is it just another internet trend? Well… it actually does. Many people who use it consistently notice better sleep, less stress, and improved focus. If you are wondering what Ashwagandha does, think of it as something that helps balance your stress hormones. Now, it’s not magic. You won’t feel a huge difference overnight. The effects of Ashwagandha build slowly, but they are worth it. So yeah, if you stick with a good Ashwagandha supplement, you will likely start to notice a difference in your daily energy and mood. Is Ashwagandha Safe? Now comes the important question: What is Ashwagandha?: Is Ashwagandha Safe? For most people, yes, it’s completely safe when taken properly. It has been used for years, so it’s not something new or experimental. But of course, the key is using the right Ashwagandha dosage. Also, not all supplements are made equal. Choosing the best Ashwagandha supplement really matters because quality directly affects results. If you are generally healthy, it’s considered safe, and Ashwagandha is good for health overall. But if you have any medical conditions, it’s always better to double-check before starting.

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.

I read through a few of the notes and cards we received over the years. There are real people and some who are affected by the bans.
