Send us a textWe had the pleasure of hosting Sherry Rais, CEO and cofounder of Enthea, a trailblazer dedicated to revolutionizing mental health care. If you've been curious about how psychedelic-assisted therapy is making its way into mainstream healthcare and employee benefits, this episode holds all the insights.In this episode:Sherry's Global Perspective Sherry's background is truly inspiring—she spent over a decade consulting for the UN and World Bank in over 35 countries. Her work on poverty reduction programs revealed a striking link between poverty and mental health—and why mental fitness is as crucial as physical health.Breaking Down Treatment Barriers Traditional mental health treatments don't always address the root cause. Sherry discusses the limitations of antidepressants and talk therapy, and why a new line of innovative approaches—including ketamine-assisted therapy—are showing promise for real, lasting change.How Psychedelic Therapy Works Ever wondered what actually happens during a psychedelic therapy session? Sherry does a fantastic job explaining the neuroscience, the process (including those famous eye masks and playlists!), and why these therapies hold the key to overcoming issues like depression, PTSD, and even addiction.What About Ketamine? Ketamine is already FDA-approved and available in all 50 states—and through Enthea, it's beginning to appear as an employee benefit. Sherry shares eye-opening statistics on its effectiveness, with significant reductions in PTSD, depression, and anxiety, plus a high rate of patients coming off antidepressants altogether.Getting Access—Now and in the Future If you're interested in these forms of therapy or want to advocate for them at your workplace, Sherry lays out options for both employer-sponsored benefits and individual approaches. She also shares best practices for seeking treatment safely and effectively.What's Next? The future is bright: Sherry predicts more psychedelics will become available within the next five years, and she's hopeful the benefits will become as standard as vision or dental care. She also teases cutting-edge research in non-hallucinogenic therapies and potential applications for kids and adolescents.Key Takeaways:Mental health and poverty are deeply connected—and it's time to tackle both.Psychedelic therapies get to the root of mental health issues, often with just a handful of sessions.Ketamine-assisted therapy is already making a major impact within U.S. healthcare.Speak to your employer about Enthea and these groundbreaking benefits!We couldn't be more grateful to Sherry Rais for sharing her expertise and vision.
