S2E5 The Power of Neuroplasticity in Ketamine Therapy With Dr. Sam Zand

Dr. Sam Zand discusses ketamine therapy and its impact on mental health. Ketamine therapy is a revolutionary approach to mental health treatment that focuses on neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to rewire itself. Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine therapy aims to change brain health by making the brain more malleable and flexible. This treatment can lead to a shift in perspective, reduced anxiety, and improved relationships. Ketamine therapy can be administered through various methods, including IV, nasal spray, and lozenges. Accessibility to ketamine therapy is expanding, with more clinics accepting insurance and offering low-income programs. In this conversation, Jackey Hall and Dr. Sam Zand discuss the importance of healing and changing with mental health instead of numbing the situation. They emphasize the need to feel emotions in order to heal and the role of ketamine therapy in softening emotional charge and resetting the nervous system.

The conversation highlights the need for a holistic approach to psychiatry that considers biological, psychological, environmental, and spiritual factors. They discuss the influence of technology on mental health and the importance of guarding our mental nutrition and thought patterns.
