In this episode of Live Fully with Kratom, ETHA Co-Founder Victor sits down with ETHA team member Annie to dive into her journey with Olympic lifting and how recovery plays a crucial role in high-performance training.

Annie breaks down the major differences between bodybuilding and Olympic lifting, from the types of stress each sport places on the body to the recovery strategies needed to stay consistent. They explore topics such as:

• Training stress:Bodybuilding’s muscle fatigue vs. Olympic lifting’s nervous-system load

• Mind–muscle vs. mind–speed:How focus, timing, and technique shift between sports

• Injury risk & joint health:Managing technical strain, mobility needs, and repetitive stress

• Pain management & harm reduction:The importance of responsible recovery strategies and avoiding over-reliance on pharmaceuticals

Annie shares her personal recovery routine — including sleep, mobility work, hydration, breathwork, and how she responsibly incorporates natural tools like kratom to manage soreness and stay consistent.

(This episode reflects personal experience only and is not medical advice.)

If you’re an athlete, lifter, or anyone balancing intense training with daily life, this conversation shines a light on training smarter, not harder, and finding recovery strategies that support your goals naturally and responsibly.

In this week’s episode of Live Fully with Kratom Podcast, ETHA Co-Founders Victor and Alexander take a deep dive into the fascinating world of Thailand kratom. What exactly is kratom from Thailand—and what sets it apart from other varieties, especially the widely available Indonesian kratom?

The duo discusses a common trend in the industry: using names to make blends sound more exotic. The truth? Most of these so-called “Thai” kratom products never come from Thailand at all—they’re often just clever marketing.

Victor and Alexander break down why it’s crucial to know where your kratom really comes from, and how cleanliness, transparency, and quality make all the difference. That’s why Alexander personally traveled to Thailand to work directly with ETHA’s trusted partners—ensuring that when ETHA offers kratom from Thailand, you can be confident it’s the real deal.

Here’s what we cover:

• A behind-the-scenes look at kratom cultivation in Thailand and how the environment impacts quality and potency.

• ETHA’s transparent approach to sourcing—built on sustainability, trust, and direct relationships with growers.

• Stories from Thai farmers who have cultivated kratom for generations.

• Why understanding kratom’s true origins ensures purity, consistency, and safety.

• Reflections from the ETHA team on how this trip deepens their mission to support natural wellness.
