S2E5 The Power of Neuroplasticity in Ketamine Therapy With Dr. Sam Zand
5d ago
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. They also explore the concept of psychosomatic illness and the impact of mental and emotional factors on physical health. 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.   WHERE CAN I FIND DR.

In this episode, Dr. Sam Zand, a psychiatrist, discusses various aspects of mental health and therapy. He emphasizes the importance of finding inner alignment and self-awareness for mental well-being. Dr. Zand shares his journey into psychiatry and his mission to reform the mental health industry. He provides insights on what to look for in a mental health professional and how to overcome the fear of seeking help. The conversation also touches on the concept of neuroplasticity and the challenges of accessing the subconscious mind. Overall, the episode aims to destigmatize mental health and promote understanding and compassion. In this conversation, Dr. Sam Zand discusses the connection between physical and mental health, the introduction and benefits of ketamine therapy, the comparison of ketamine with other psychedelics, creating a safe and supportive environment for psychedelic therapy, the potential of psychedelic retreats, and accessing mental health services and support. The conversation emphasizes the importance of holistic approaches to mental health and the need for compassionate and accessible care.   Mental health is about finding inner alignment and self-awareness. It is important to prioritize rapport and connection with a mental health professional. Regular sessions and adequate time are crucial for effective therapy. Medication can be a helpful tool in mental health treatment, but it is not a lifetime sentence. Understanding neuroplasticity can help in creating new neural pathways and healing from trauma. The complexity of the human brain makes mental health a science of the unknown. Physical and mental health are interconnected, and addressing one can positively impact the other. Ketamine therapy has shown promising results in treating depression and other mental health conditions. Different psychedelics have similar properties of neuroplasticity, but ketamine offers shorter and more controllable experiences. Creating a safe and supportive environment is crucial for successful psychedelic therapy. Psychedelic retreats can provide a comprehensive healing experience. There are various avenues to access mental health services and support, including insurance coverage and foundations that offer free or affordable treatments.     WHERE YOU CAN FIND DR.ZAND Instagram:  drsamzand & betterucare Resort website: www.metamorphosisresort.com website: www.drsamzand.com

S1E2. How to be a Healthy F*cking Person MERAKI
In this conversation, host Jackey Hall interviews Meraki, a mental health advocate, about various topics related to mental health and healing.

The conversation covers the Live Meraki retreat, which includes various healers and activities to help individuals find their power and reach their potential. It also discusses the use of psychedelics for healing and the importance of mental health and self-care.   Mental health is the disconnect between the body and mind, and it involves the psychological battle between the analytical mind and the body's attempt to communicate that something is wrong. Healing and mental health involve addressing childhood trauma and finding the connection and needs that were not met as children. Practicing gratitude and setting intentions are important daily practices for mental health. The programming of our brains and society, particularly through AI, has a significant impact on mental health. Medication can play a role in healing, but it is important to approach it with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Time alone does not heal everything; it is the changes and actions taken during that time that lead to healing. The Live Meraki retreat offers a range of activities and healers to assist individuals in their personal growth and healing journey. The retreat includes yoga, outdoor activities, and opportunities to connect with nature. Psychedelics, such as ayahuasca, can be powerful tools for healing and transformation. Taking care of mental health is essential, and self-care practices are important for overall well-being. WHERE YOU CAN FIND MERAKI TikTok & IG @hereismeraki
