Noah Urbina joins Forrest to talk kratom addiction, "Feel Free," 7-OH, dopamine crashes, and how a harmless-looking wellness tonic turned into full-blown withdrawal hell. They get into how kratom tricks your brain, why gas-station supplements are basically the Wild West, the sleepless sweating panic of detox, and the moment Noah realized he needed to quit before the crash got worse. It's raw, funny, and packed with real stories about pain cycles, anxiety spirals, numbing out with "natural" highs, healing your body after synthetic plants wreck it, and trying to rebuild your life without depending on a drink, a leaf, or a tincture to feel normal. 🎧 If you've ever used something "healthy" to take the edge off and accidentally found yourself in the upside-down, this episode hits close and still makes you laugh. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on recovery, mental health, comedy, and the chaos of being human.
