Kratom: Cultural Roots and Contemporary Challenges

There's a new form of kratom flooding the market that's as potent as morphine, and you need to hear this warning. Many don't know the risks associated with these new unregulated products.

On this episode of Mark Bell's Power Project Podcast, hosts Mark Bell and Nsima Inyang speak with Justin Wolf, the creator of New Brew. Justin shares his personal journey of overcoming alcohol and his mission to create a true alcohol alternative. He explains the massive difference between traditional kratom and the dangerous new extracts, the benefits of kava, and how to safely use these powerful plants for focus, energy, and even better workouts.
