Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Michele Ross, a neuropharmacologist and founder of the 7-HOPE Alliance, to explore the healing potential of Kratom and its key alkaloid, 7-Hydroxymitragynine. We discuss how this plant medicine, long used in Southeast Asia, offers hope for people managing chronic pain, trauma, and opioid withdrawal. Dr. Ross shares her personal journey from addiction researcher to plant medicine advocate, and explains why education, safety, and mindful, intentional use are crucial in harm reduction. Together, we reflect on conscious healing practices, accessibility, and the importance of viewing plant medicines as allies in recovery.

About Michele:Dr. Michele Ross is a neuropharmacologist, addiction expert, and best-selling author who has been at the cutting edge of plant-based therapies for over a decade. Her journey with 7-OH is both scientific and personal: after suffering a near-fatal pulmonary embolism from prescribed medications, she turned to natural alternatives like cannabis, mushrooms, and kratom to reclaim her health. Today, she brings that expertise and lived experience to her role at 7-HOPE, where she leads efforts to educate consumers, train healthcare professionals, and push forward scientific research on 7-OH. Dr. Ross is a powerful advocate for patient rights and responsible regulation, committed to ensuring that tools like 7-OH are understood, accessible, and safe.
