In this episode of the Live Fully Podcast, ETHA co-founders Alexander Karp and Victor Chung take a small detour from kratom to explore another powerful ancient herbal remedy—kava (also known as kava kava). 

🌿 Native to the Pacific Islands and part of the pepper family, kava has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, sociability, and stress relief—all without impairing mental clarity. Alex and Victor dive into how kava works on the brain, including its effects on GABA, dopamine, and serotonin, and how these interactions may lead to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and even muscle relaxation. They also talk about how kava has become a popular alternative to alcohol with kava bars popping up throughout the US. 

💡 They also discuss: 
✔️ Kava vs. Kratom – Which to use and when 
✔️ Potential benefits for mental clarity, anxiety, and even the female cycle 
✔️ Known side effects and how to use kava safely 
✔️ The unique interactions between kava and kratom 
✔️ An exciting update on ETHA’s enhanced CinnaMints Kava formula
