About this listen

On Evive Live, we talk about our relationship with gambling, how it shows up in our lives, how it affects our mental health, and how we can stay grounded and in control.

Through honest conversations with people who’ve lived it, studied it, or supported others through it, Evive Live creates space for reflection, awareness, and healthier choices, without lectures, judgment, or one-size-fits-all answers.

  • Evive Live: Jody Bechtold on Gambling Addiction Treatment and Taking No BS from the Disorder

    Evive Live: Jody Bechtold on Gambling Addiction Treatment and Taking No BS from the Disorder
    Jan 27 2026

    In this episode of Evive Live, Christina Cook and Adam Lyons sit down with Jody Bechtold, CEO of the Better Institute and a leading voice in gambling disorder treatment and certification.

    Jody breaks down why gambling disorder is highly treatable, why so many clinicians miss it, and what effective treatment actually looks like in real life. We talk about self exclusion, blocking tools, money accountability, and why having a clear plan early matters. Jody also explains the difference between licensure and certification, what peer support can do that clinicians cannot, and how we get more people through the door without shame.

    If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone and help is out there.
