  • Holding Space for Change: How Ketamine Therapy Unlocks the Body-Mind Dialogue with Christi Myers – Episode 388
    Jul 15 2025

    Ketamine creates the space to see your truth, but its integration that transforms that truth into lasting change. In this episode, host Peter Fenger is joined by Christi Myers, Founder and CEO of Flow Integrative®, a pioneering Ketamine Infusion center focused on expanding access to psychedelic-assisted therapy. With nearly 20 years of experience as a paramedic, Christi has served in high-impact roles, from working with the Department of Defense to educating the next generation of EMS professionals as a faculty member and assistant director of Emergency Medical Services at Victor Valley College. Her personal journey through PTSD and the emotional toll of frontline work inspired her to build Flow Integrative®, a center dedicated to destigmatizing psychedelic medicine and reimagining mental healthcare. Under her leadership, Flow has become a national model for employer-driven ketamine treatment, offering a trauma-informed, dual-modality approach that integrates both medical and mental health care. In today’s conversation, we explore how Ketamine Infusion Therapy offers a unique, action-oriented path to healing. We’ll dive into what makes Flow’s model different, the critical role of integration, and how this work is reshaping how we think about emotional well-being, trauma, and treatment access.

  • Beyond Naloxone: Rethinking Overdose Prevention Through Harm Reduction with Dr. Jorge Petit & Leah Harris – Episode 386
    Jul 8 2025

    Overdose prevention starts before the crisis, with compassion, planning, and real-world tools that save lives upstream. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Jorge Petit and Leah Harris from Zero Overdose, a national nonprofit dedicated to preventing overdose deaths through education, empowerment, and harm reduction. Dr. Jorge Petit, Strategy and Development Officer at Zero Overdose, brings over 30 years of experience in community and public psychiatry, advocating for people impacted by mental health and substance use. He has led major initiatives at Coordinated Behavioral Care and Beacon Health Options, and is the founder of Quality Healthcare Solutions. Leah Harris, a Trainer at Zero Overdose, draws on two decades of experience as a speaker and advocate, along with her own lived experience with substance use and recovery. She’s worked with the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, NASMHPD, and PEERS to advance trauma-informed, person-centered approaches. Together, Jorge and Leah introduce the Overdose Safety Planning Specialist Training—a transformative program that equips providers, peers, and loved ones with the skills to assess and reduce overdose risks. Through frameworks, roleplay, and harm reduction strategies, the training empowers people to meet individuals where they are, without shame or stigma. We’ll explore why this training is making waves across healthcare systems, how it centers lived experience, and why overdose prevention must be everyone’s responsibility, from parents and providers to communities at large.

  • BHT Bytes – The Cost of the Climb: What Student Loans Are Really Costing Us – Episode 384
    Jun 24 2025

    College was once promised as a path to security, but for millions, it became the gateway to lifelong debt. In this episode of BHT Bytes, hosts Sharlee Dixon and Peter Fenger unpack the heavy toll of student loan debt, an issue that now affects nearly 1 in 5 American adults and fuels ongoing political debate. For decades, higher education has been hailed as the great equalizer, a launchpad for upward mobility and financial stability. But for 45 million Americans, that dream comes with a staggering price tag. With U.S. student loan debt now topping $1.7 trillion, the impact stretches far beyond individual bank accounts, delaying homeownership, family planning, and career fulfillment while widening racial, gender, and generational wealth gaps. Sharlee and Peter explore how debt has reshaped not just personal futures but the structure of society itself. They also examine the intersections of the pandemic, shifting government policy, and the consequences of limited financial literacy. This episode asks a deeper question: What is student loan debt really costing us, not just in dollars, but in opportunity, equity, and well-being?

  • BHT Bytes – Cutting Care: How Federal Cuts Threaten Mental Health Across America – Episode 381
    Jun 3 2025

    Federal funding cuts aren’t just trimming budgets, they’re dismantling the lifelines millions depend on. In this episode of BHT Bytes, hosts Peter Fenger and Sharlee Dixon unpack the sweeping rollback of public health funding led by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration. With a proposed $12 billion in cuts, including $11 billion from the CDC and $1 billion from SAMHSA, critical programs like mental health services, addiction treatment, HIV prevention, and virtual therapy are on the chopping block. These reductions target resources established under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), threatening to destabilize care in underserved communities, rural areas, and among vulnerable populations like veterans. We examine what these cuts mean for the future of behavioral health in the U.S., how communities are responding, and why the loss of this funding could reverse decades of hard-won progress.
