Hi, i’m dr. michele ross!

Meet the expert

Dr. Michele Ross went from being a leading drug addiction neuroscientist who starred on the hit CBS series Big Brother, to struggling with multiple illnesses that left her unable to walk and in and out of ERs at the age of 30.

While trying different plant medicines, Dr. Ross discovered kratom, a natural plant that gave her the pain relief, energy, and focus she desperately needed to balance work with fibromyalgia. The problem was product quality and potency was inconsistent, and kratom was even more legally grey than cannabis or CBD.

She founded the kratom company AURA Therapeutics to make a safer option for pain management available to everyone, and published her fifth book Kratom Is Medicine in March 2021.

While she has since closed her kratom brand to focus on kratom education and advocacy through Infused Partners, she is passionate about kratom safety and harm reduction.
