(Facebook article?) Shortly after My wife asked me to grab some beer for myself, I sobbed in our driveway and shared your testimony. I was dry for about 3 months, until… she started bragging about my sobriety… I was embarrassed. I struggled with this episode for the fact that life isn’t so clean and positive. My ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CBD, Kratom, and the Opioid Crisis: A Veteran's Perspective
Q: What is it that your company and so many you see in the FDA right now, and you see RFK talking about the banning of 7-hydroxy? What is the difference between that and your products?
The difference there is there's not enough kratom grown in the world to fulfill the 7-hydroxy market; the adulterated products are being synthesized and marketed as kratom.
CBD, Kratom, and the Opioid Crisis: A Veteran's Perspective
Q: Can you give me a better understanding of what that is, especially for the audience questioning that?
Humans have an endocannabinoid system, and we actually do have a system in our bodies that is meant to get cannabinoids.
"I Was Given 3 Months to Live..." Beating CANCER w/ Casey West
Q: How would you answer that if someone asked you, are you happy?
Yes, things could be better, but knowing that my basic needs in life are met, I think like that's fulfillment, that's happiness. And for me, I'm there.
"I Was Given 3 Months to Live..." Beating CANCER w/ Casey West
Q: What are some of the methods that you kind of researched and you started doing for yourself that you believe might be the reasons why you've been able to kind of fight it so far?
Detoxifying the body was very important. Sauna protocols, contrast therapy, intermittent fasting, a therapeutic ketogenic diet, and several other alternative therapies helped me.
"I Was Given 3 Months to Live..." Beating CANCER w/ Casey West
Q: What made you you got out because of politics and whatnot? And then what led you down this healing path?
Towards the end of my club career, I was getting pretty sick, hallucinating and going through things I didn't understand. They were telling me it was psychosomatic, but I had a tumor growing in my head.
