About the Guest:

Matt von Boecklin is a chemical engineer and addiction recovery advocate, with experience working across Asia, Africa, and South America in international development. After battling his own addiction, he developed Quit Kit, a supplement regimen designed to ease opioid and Kratom withdrawal symptoms. His work is now helping people across the U.S. and Canada break free from addiction and reclaim their lives.

Key Takeaways:

• Addiction Can Happen to Anyone: Matt started with casual smoking and drinking in college, which later evolved into a dependency on Kratom. Addiction often starts as a way to cope with stress or loneliness.
• Kratom is NOT Harmless: Though marketed as a natural supplement, Kratom acts on opioid receptors and can cause severe addiction and withdrawal—similar to heroin or prescription opioids.
• Withdrawal is Brutal, But There’s a Solution: Many people relapse not because they want to keep using, but because withdrawal symptoms are unbearable.
• The Birth of Quit Kit: Matt researched and formulated a science-backed supplement regimen to combat withdrawal symptoms effectively, helping people quit without rehab or prescriptions.
• We Need to Change the Narrative Around Addiction: Addiction doesn’t always look like homelessness or extreme cases—many functioning professionals, students, and parents struggle in silence.
• Support, Not Shame: The best way to help someone struggling with addiction is to recognize their humanity, offer support, and guide them toward available resources.
