Summary

Welcome to the first episode of our ongoing series on Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT). Today we welcome Christi Myers, CEO of Flow Integrative--a team of healthcare professionals spearheading the effort to make PAT more available to veterans and first responders. 

Kristy brings over 25 years of experience working as a First Responder and understands the demands inherent to these professions. She is on a mission to “help the help” and is doing that by pioneering the use of psychedelics. 

In this episode we’ll be covering all things mental health. From the benefits of PAT and the development of protocols for psychedelics, to coping mechanisms and teaching our kids how to be good stewards of their mental health.
