18. Ketamine Therapy for Depression and Anxiety

Episode 18 Welcome to the Healing Pod! Today I have my wife Kasie filling in for Jessica due to continued complications with hurricane Milton and life in general.  In this episode, we explore ketamine treatment for depression and anxiety from the perspective of the person taking the ketamine and the nerdy psych person who did the research and supported her in starting it.  All treatments need to be individualized and supported by your personal doctors, so do not take our experiences or knowledge as anything other than the example it is. Anecdotes are not evidence.  Binaural beats are sounds that play two different tones in your ears, making your brain combine those tones to a new tone (sort of how the pink/magenta color does not technically exist because light is a spectrum and not a circle). This has studies going into it for supporting REM sleep, increasing focus, meditation, and creativity, and also are just sometimes fun to listen to.  **** Hurricane Milton hit Jessica very hard this month, resulting in significant property damage and loss of some of her animals. We have not recorded together since she was preparing for it and it may be a bit shady until she gets things settled again. But we love Jess and are all here for her! She does have a call out for support for her ranch. If you are able to financially help, please do. If you are not then let her know we love her https://www.facebook.com/share/p/os81Dtu6A7AvbKJk/ **** As always, thank you to the wonderful Miki Anderson for our intro and outtro music.
