Ketamine FAQ'S
Release Brain Fog,
Get Clear on Your Future
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine was approved by the FDA in 1970 as an anesthetic and analgesic and has been listed on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines since 1985. Ketamine is also prescribed off-label to treat a wide range of mental health issues.
​
Ketamine targets NMDA receptors in the brain, helping to "rehydrate" synapses that have been dried out by the chronic depletion caused by mood disorders. Blocking glutamate at these receptors allows for better conduction, while the influx of "feel-good" chemicals helps stabilize moods and alleviate chronic pain.
​
Now that science has substantiated this medicine is a restorative medication, rather than using SSRIs as a bandaid, we are seeing more and more people turning to Ketamine as it gets to the root cause of brain fog and so much more! Our clients are successful men and women looking to heighten their self-development. Ketamine is not just for depression- truly, it can help us all.

What does Ketamine feel like?
Everyone will have a personalized experience, but we follow specific ketamine guidelines and protocols for each patient. Your treatment plan and initial ketamine dosage will be determined by several factors, including your medical history, body weight, age, prior treatment experiences, and other relevant considerations.
Subsequent ketamine treatments will be tailored to your response to the initial treatment. Our 3-month program includes 42 doses of 100 mg oral troches. Typically, we start each client with a 50 mg dose during their first session. We provide integration tips and guidance to help clients feel prepared for their dose at home. The client takes one oral troche (a melty wax tablet) and allows it to dissolve in their mouth. After swallowing the medication, most clients report feeling relaxed and content for about 30 minutes to one hour.
Dissociation is an altered state of consciousness where individuals may disconnect from their thoughts, emotions, memories, or even their sense of identity or ego. Many people describe dissociation as a state similar to deep meditation, where they remain fully present in the moment, observing without analyzing, criticizing, or attempting to control. This can be a relaxing or liberating experience.
Many of our clients report feeling a deep sense of love and euphoria during this time, which typically lasts up to 40 minutes, making it easy to integrate into your day. We have never had a client feel anxious or out of control. We are very careful to create an environment that helps you enjoy your sessions. Occasionally, a client may not experience any dissociation, but that’s perfectly okay! Science has shown that even without the "high," ketamine is still working on your receptors.
Over the course of three months, you should notice that you are less reactive, more calm, peaceful, and clear-headed. Dr. Natalie and Kristen's life changed as a result of Ketamine therapy, and this is why we bring this program to you!
