Podcasts about Ketamine

You use ketamine. I use ketamine. We all use ketamine. But… how safe it is, really? A new study out of Toronto suggests 30% of patients who receive ketamine have adverse events, a rate higher than seen in the ED. What are we to make of this? I bring Dr Remle Crowe on to discuss…Citations:1.     Kwong JL, Verbeek PR, Leong YC, Turner L, Huiskamp M, Drennan IR, Francom S, Ropp S, Cheskes S: Paramedic use of ketamine for severe agitation and violence.

The psychedelic revolutionWill LSD, Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine treatments live up to the hype?For decades, psychedelics were derided as dangerous recreational drugs; now many claim they have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of mental health. With hundreds of clinical trials now taking place, the psychedelic therapeutic market is predicted to be over ten billion within the decade. It has been widely thought that psychedelics are effective at treating mental health because of the way they change brain chemistry. But studies from King's College London and Johns Hopkins suggest this is an error, arguing that it's the psychedelic experience that aids mental wellbeing, not the physical brain changes.Should we stop focussing on brain chemistry as the solution to mental health? What is it about psychedelic experience that can aid mental well being and will psychedelics live up to their promise and usher in a mental health renaissance? Or is the hype bubble about to burst and should we look elsewhere for the silver bullet to the mental health crisis of our age?Matthew Johnson is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Shayla Love is a freelance reporter and former senior science writer at Vice News, focusing on psychedelics. Kevin Sabet is the founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, and he has been described as the "quarterback of the new anti-drug movement".Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dopeycon 2025 Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/1765668This week on Dopey we celebrate Dopes Heather and Jen! Both with ONE YEAR! We read some emails and I got to sit down with the legend! IDGAF Foods (aka the guy behind eating hot dogs off the floor on Instagram) for a brutally honest trip through his addiction, art, and recovery. From smoking crack at 15 in Manchester, CT, to guzzling buckets of Molly and shards of ketamine out of Kahlua bottles, to swallowing and later digging through his own shit for balloons of drugs, his story is a nonstop circus of chaos. He dodged arrests, hustled Oxy 80s and Hartford heroin, spent $500 a day chasing tar and Roxies in Utah, and somehow never got caught.Out of the madness came art: digital psychedelia, album covers for major bands, and eventually his IDGAF Foods account—where eating sketchy food became exposure therapy and a way to help addicts. Along the way: scam hustles, OCD hand-washing, sitting in trees at parties to dodge cops, exposure therapy with oat milk, Jimmy Fallon holding up his artwork, and a grandmother calling him an idiot. Now clean since 2012, he's turned the insanity into purpose, with IDGAF Foods helping people avoid relapse by saying “Don't Be a Fucking Pussy.”All that and more on this brand new episode of that good old Dopey Show!

Making the jump from hospital employment to opening your own practice? We've been there, and we know it's terrifying.When we first started talking about leaving our stable salaried hospital jobs to open a ketamine clinic back in 2018, everyone thought we were crazy. And honestly? Some days we wondered if they were right.In this episode, we're sharing the real story behind Reset Ketamine and how Ketamine StartUp came to be. This isn't the polished version you see on LinkedIn - we're talking about the sleepless nights, the family members who didn't understand, the financial fears, and all the messy details that actually go into building something from scratch.We'll walk you through our complete journey: why we left secure hospital positions, how we navigated the skepticism around ketamine therapy when it was still "experimental," the mistakes we made (there were many), and the strategic decisions that actually moved the needle.If you're feeling stuck in traditional employment, curious about what it really takes to open a ketamine practice, or just wondering if entrepreneurship in healthcare is actually possible, this one's for you.Fair warning: we're not holding anything back!What You'll Learn in This Episode:・The Breaking Point: Sam's realization that he was "climbing a ladder against the wrong building" when offered a medical director promotion・The Five Types of Wealth: Why financial wealth alone wasn't enough to justify staying in traditional hospital employment・Social Pressure Paradox: Why colleagues asking "When will you open?" created both motivation and resistance・The Lean Launch Strategy: Starting with only four treatments while maintaining sustainability through minimal overhead・Strategic Risk Management: How they maintained safety nets while taking calculated entrepreneurial risks

The "Keatmine Queen" sold drugs to Friends actor Matthew Perry, whose death was a partial result of acute drug intoxication. She pleaded guilty to avoid trial and ABC News Correspondent Brian Clark joined Arizona's Morning News to break it all down.

Natasha is joined by AJ, an ex-Mormon hippie, on this episode of the podcast. This is the first in a series called, "Uncoupling the Myth": A message from Natasha: Welcome to our series: “Uncoupling the Myth,” where we challenge the narrative that non-monogamy destroys relationships. After a recent podcast episode on this very topic, I was flooded with messages—hundreds of people thanking me for validating their relationship choices and lived experiences. That response made it clear: these voices deserve more airtime. So in this series, we're amplifying real stories and offering a more hopeful, grounded, and nuanced view than what you typically hear about. To be clear; as both a relationship and sexuality expert, I'm not here to advocate for non-monogamy or monogamy—I'm here to advocate for healthy, ethical relationships, no matter what form they take. More on AJ: AJ is an ex-Mormon hippie who has moved from living a life of obligations and expectations of others, to living from her own heart and desires. After realizing the conventional and religious life she was conditioned to wasn't serving her, she started following her own path. First it was a career change, then she walked away from 15 years of infertility and pregnancy loss, choosing to be childfree, and within that time she discovered religion was not for her either. As she started to explore herself and the life she wanted, she created @authenticallyrelating_aj to chronicle her experience through deconstructing monogamy, exploring polyamory and eventually landing on her own authentic heart led path she travels today.  You can find her on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/authenticallyrelating_aj/?hl=en   To help keep this podcast going, please consider donating at natashahelfer.com and share this episode.

In this episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy Novatt welcomes licensed professional clinical counselor Taylor Harris for an in-depth conversation about the diverse ways people experience, manage, and heal from mental health challenges. Taylor shares her personal and professional journey into the world of mental health, reflecting on how early experiences with therapy and a fascination with human consciousness shaped her approach. The discussion explores the intersection of trauma, mental health, and identity, emphasizing the importance of considering cultural, gender, and societal factors in the healing process. Taylor and Dr. Amy delve into a variety of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, trauma-informed relational somatics, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Taylor explains how traditional talk therapy can sometimes fall short, and how somatic and alternative approaches can offer deeper healing, especially when integrated with relational safety and trust. The conversation also addresses the evolving language around trauma, the impact of societal conditioning, and the need for accessible, intentional, and safe healing practices. Listeners will gain insight into the science and practice of ketamine therapy, the importance of community and relationship in healing, and the value of intuition and self-knowledge. The episode closes with a reminder that healing is a deeply personal journey, best supported by compassionate practitioners and a willingness to explore both traditional and innovative paths to wellness.

Alex (SO/SP 6w7 693) joins us for a deep dive into the often-misunderstood inner terrain of the Social Six — where loyalty is a vigilant scan for danger, and the mind's ceaseless activity is less about worry than about building a livable world. From the outset, Alex speaks to the dissonance of being typed as a Six, resisting the caricatures and one-dimensional projections that cling to the type. We explore the deep patterns of fear and mental over-responsibility that began in childhood: a sense of being a small, visible target in a world ruled by unseen authority. Alex opens up about health anxiety, asexuality, and the complexity of labels — both how they can offer coherence and how they can confine. Alex also brings in the character of Zuko from our shared favorite show Avatar: The Last Airbender as a mirror of his own journey — from rigid loyalty to false authority, through crisis, to a reclamation of inner truth. Together, we explore how Six navigates the labyrinth of mental gates that must be opened before love can be received, and how trust — in the self, in others, in life — is painstakingly built, tested, and sometimes, finally, allowed.LINKSLearn at The Enneagram Schoolhttps://theenneagramschool.com/Intro Coursehttps://www.theenneagramschool.com/intro-enneagram-courseGet Typedhttps://www.enneagrammer.com/Sinsomnia Podcast (Dreams)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sinsomnia/id1684154994House of Enneagramhttps://www.youtube.com/@houseofenneagram TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro02:31 - Participating in Enneagram communities, creating memes while waiting for typing results, reacting to being type 6, unpacking the projections onto 6, "finding a mental home"12:27 - Being a 'cog in the machine', erasing individualization, a "thought-terminating cliche", having mental tweezers 17:10 - Childhood memories, fearing authority larger than parents, fear/anxiety of being a "sitting duck" to external powers23:36 - "Going haywire", the vetting mechanism of 6, fearing and joking about death29:01 - Ketamine treatment, expanding perspectives assisting with anxiety, limited "mental real estate", social narratives and afterthoughts, an unreliable narrator38:09 - 6s not taking responsibility for personal perspectives, pinging off of others, judgment off of 'needing others', self-honoring and life-giving, self-sufficiency narratives46:03 - 6s archetypal connection to labels, being asexual, attention to collective ideals/gaze52:30 - self-deprecation being limiting, therapy, social rejection, deconstructing 'what I deserve to have/want", identifying the super-ego59:11 - not making progress, fear of social vulnerability, 6's inner splitting, exploring the underdog position01:06:59 - Avatar the Last Airbender; relating to the Zuko character arch, shedding the false authorities, enacting personal will, changing inherited reality perspectives01:16:22 - 'vetting' self-love, matrix of mental gates, a core need to have 'right'...

I didn't plan this update, but it needed to happen. Life has felt messy, chaotic, beautiful, grounding, and grief-filled all at once. In this episode, I open up about everything I've been walking through, healing after loss, navigating love, facing my truth, and running a retreat that cracked me (and nine other brave women) wide open. This is raw. It's personal. And it's real. I'm learning to stop betraying myself just to keep others comfortable, and I'm finally breathing again. If you've been waiting for the next life update, this is the one. I'm not who I was…and maybe, neither are you.To learn more about our next retreat, which will be held on October 16-19 in Arizona, go to rewireexperience.com to schedule a free, no commitment discovery call.

Send us a textLet's talk about ketamine—and not the kind of convo you'd have at a college party.In this week's episode, I sit down with Dr. David Caldwell and Dr. Melissa Briggs-Phillips of Mindset Integrative Ketamine Care for one of the most powerful, personal, and mind-expanding conversations we've ever had on this show.Together, they're pioneering a new approach to healing trauma through ketamine infusion therapy (aka KIT)—backed by decades of medical expertise and lived experience. We talk about what it actually feels like, who it's for, how it compares to psychedelics like psilocybin or MDMA, and the kind of inner peace that's possible when you finally quiet the noise in your head.But this episode isn't just about the science. It's about grief, forgiveness, masculine vulnerability, healing from scars instead of open wounds, and what it means to start over—again and again. These two aren't just experts. They're the real deal. And after hearing their stories, you'll understand why.Heads up: My mic was having a moment during this recording, so the audio's not as crisp as usual on my end—but hang in there, because the conversation is so worth it.If you've ever struggled with anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck—or if someone you love has—this episode is a must-listen.Connect with Mindset: Website: mindsetketamine.com Instagram: @mindset_ketamine
