172 - Could Ketamine Therapy Transform Mental Health Care? w/ Dr. Nathan Gilmore

In today’s episode, Dr. Gilmore shares his knowledge on how ketamine is revolutionizing the treatment of depression and other mental health conditions. 

Originally an anesthetic, ketamine has proven effective in treating severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Dr. Gilmore shares research showing significant mood improvements and reduced suicidality, especially for those who haven’t found relief with traditional therapies. 

Dr. Gilmore emphasizes that while some patients may feel immediate benefits from a single session, the best results come from a series of six sessions over several weeks. 

The therapy setting significantly impacts the patient experience. Dr. Gilmore discusses how Anew Therapy’s calming environment fosters safety and comfort, allowing patients to set intentions and process their experiences, further enhancing the therapeutic effects of ketamine.

Whether you're curious about ketamine for yourself or a loved one, this episode serves as a comprehensive resource to answer all your questions. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about a treatment that has the potential to change lives!
