Live Fully with ETHA

In this episode of the Live Fully with Kratom Podcast, ETHA co-founder Victor sits down with Czech filmmaker, Libor Cingr to talk about the inspiration behind his documentary, the global journey of kratom, and why the plant has sparked so much curiosity and debate around the world.

The Kratom Collectors follows kratom’s path from Indonesian farms to European consumers, while exploring important questions about transparency, science, and the global supply chain.

Libor’s filmmaking approach focuses on investigation and dialogue, rather than presenting a one-sided narrative. Through his work, he asks thoughtful questions like:

• Where do products really come from?
• How do global supply chains shape modern culture?
• What role should science play in guiding policy and public opinion?

The impact of his documentary has now brought Libor to the United States to film a follow-up documentary—and one of the kratom manufacturers featured will be ETHA Natural Botanicals.

In this week’s episode of the Live Fully with Kratom Podcast, ETHA co-founder, Victor sits down with Czech filmmaker Libor Cingr, creator of the award-winning documentary The Kratom Collectors, to discuss kratom’s global journey, the science behind the plant, and his upcoming follow-up documentary featuring ETHA Natural Botanicals.

In this episode of the Live Fully Podcast, ETHA co-founder and CEO Victor sits down with someone outside the usual ETHA circle — world-renowned researcher and scientist Martin Kuchař.

Martin is a Czech forensic chemist and leading researcher specializing in the scientific analysis of psychoactive plants, including kratom. His work focuses on laboratory testing, alkaloid research, and helping shape evidence-based policies that prioritize product quality, consumer safety, and responsible regulation rather than prohibition.

Through his research, Martin brings clarity and credibility to the kratom space by studying its chemistry, safety profile, and real-world use patterns. His work helps bridge the gap between science, public health, and consumer protection while contributing to better product standards and more informed regulation.

In this conversation, Martin joins Victor to discuss his background, his research into kratom and botanical compounds, and the role science plays in shaping the future of this rapidly evolving industry.

Tune in as they dive into the science behind kratom, the challenges facing the industry, and why rigorous research is essential for responsible progress.

In this episode of the Live Fully Podcast, ETHA Co-Founder, Victor takes listeners inside his recent trip to Thailand for the Thailand & USA Responsible Kratom Leadership Summit—a groundbreaking event shaping the future of kratom worldwide.

As ETHA co-founders and part of an invited U.S. delegation, Alexander & Victor witnessed something truly unprecedented: the official rollout of Thailand’s national kratom regulations and the birth of what may become the most regulated, transparent, and high-quality kratom supply chain in the world.

Victor walks us through the journey day-by-day, breaking down why this trip mattered, what was accomplished, and how ETHA is now partnering with three exceptional Thai kratom companies leading the charge in quality, safety, and compliance. Together, these teams are raising standards, refining processes, and ensuring kratom that safely lands in the U.S. is among the cleanest, most effective, and most consistent available anywhere.

At ETHA, we don’t just promise greatness in our products—we hold ourselves to that same standard. This episode pulls back the curtain on how that promise turns into action.
