Ketamine Therapy: A New Way to Treat Pain and Mental Health

This week on Calling in Sick, I sit down with Oli Mittermaier, Co-Founder of CIT clinics, to unpack how ketamine therapy is reshaping treatment for mental health and chronic pain. When we hear ketamine therapy, most of us have an immediate reaction: you might feel like it’s taboo and all you can think about is “drugs are BAD,” perhaps you’ve tried Ketamine therapy and it had a life changing impact on your health, or maybe you are genuinely curious what it is and how it can be used in a clinical setting and if you are a good candidate for it. No matter where you are coming from, if you listen with a bit of an open-mind, this episode is for you!  

This week we dive into:

• My experience with Ketamine therapy
• The science behind how ketamine promotes neuroplasticity and healing
• What ketamine therapy is ACTUALLY like
• How to explore this therapeuritc for your own healing

Tune in for a mind-expanding discussion!

xx,
Alex
