In this episode of Community Conversation, host Megan Ray speaks with Brett Badger and Tuni Theonnes, APRN, MSN from NV Support Solutions and LifeQuest Elko about kratom—what it is, why people use it, and the risks that are often misunderstood.
This educational conversation explores how kratom affects the brain and body, signs of dependency, why “legal” doesn’t always mean safe, and what support options are available locally. The goal is awareness, understanding, and reminding listeners that help is available.
Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of substance and alcohol use/addiction.
