▶ 7:40 Progressively Lower Kratom Dose Behaviors “They would look more favorably upon kratom if and only if they would also commit to progressively lowering their dose of kratom and eventually coming off of kratom.” ▷ 7:51 Avoid Kratom Behaviors “So the general takeaway from all of that is if you can avoid taking kratom, meaning if you haven't taken it already, don't. ... I think the safest statement to make is if you have not tried Kratom, you would be wise to avoid it because you stand a chance to become addicted to it.” ▷ 8:38 Consult a Physician for Opioid Addiction Behaviors “If, however, you are somebody that's addicted to other forms of opioids, you absolutely should talk to your physician about that and how to get off of those opioids.” ▷ 8:57 Be Thoughtful About Kratom Dosage Behaviors “Now, if you're somebody who already takes Kratom, you need to be very thoughtful about the dosage that you take. ... We hear, for instance, that, oh, you know, if people are taking anywhere from one to five grams, maybe one to six grams of Kratom per day, that's keeping it in the dosage range for which people don't generally tend to get addicted.” ▷ 19:35 Prioritize Nutrition Before Supplements Diet “I always say behaviors first, then nutrition, then if and only if it's needed, rely on supplementation.” ▷ 19:35 Supplementation Only If Needed Supplements “I always say behaviors first, then nutrition, then if and only if it's needed, rely on supplementation.” ▷ 20:17 Physiological Sigh Behaviors “Many of you have heard me talk about the physiological sigh as something that you do voluntarily, the double inhale through the nose and then a long exhale in order to rapidly reduce your level of stress. As far as we know, that's the fastest way to deliberately lower your level of stress.” ▷ 21:29 Avoid Combining Kratom With Alcohol or Other Opioids Behaviors “Now, kratom is not known to suppress respiration when taken at low to moderate dosages, but when combined with any other opioids, and certainly when combined with alcohol, it can suppress respiration.”
