How Does It Work?

Ketamine works by targeting specific receptors in the brain, primarily the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor, which plays a crucial role in mood regulation. By interacting with this receptor, ketamine promotes the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that helps repair and regenerate neurons.

Additionally, ketamine also increases glutamate levels, an excitatory neurotransmitter known to improve communication between brain cells. This increased level of activity in certain areas of the brain can help improve mood, reduce negative thoughts, and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.

What to Expect During Ketamine Treatment

Ketamine therapy typically involves a series of sessions over several weeks. During each session, a small dose of ketamine is administered either through an IV infusion or intranasal spray. The dosage is carefully monitored and adjusted based on each individual's response and needs.

Sessions usually last for about an hour, and clients are closely monitored by our trained medical staff to ensure their safety and comfort. The effects of ketamine can be felt within minutes, with some individuals experiencing a sense of relaxation or dissociation. However, the full benefits of ketamine treatment may take several sessions to achieve.

Is Ketamine Therapy Right for You?

Ketamine therapy may be an option for individuals who have not found relief from other traditional treatments, such as medication and therapy. It is often recommended for those with treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.

At Mind's Journey, we conduct a thorough assessment of each client to determine if ketamine therapy is the right fit for their needs. Our team also provides ongoing support and guidance throughout the ketamine treatment process to ensure our clients' well-being and progress.

Ketamine Therapy As It Relates To Semaglutide For Weight Loss

Some studies have shown that ketamine may help improve mood and reduce emotional eating behaviors, while semaglutide works to suppress appetite and decrease calorie intake.

However, more research is needed to fully understand the effectiveness and safety of this combination treatment. At Mind's Journey, we prioritize our clients' overall health and well-being and will only recommend treatments that have been thoroughly studied and proven to be effective.
