What About Ketamine?

Health Longevity Secrets

Join us on a mind-bending exploration of the human brain, aging, and the untapped potential of psychedelics with our guest, Dr. Jeffrey Becker. As a psychiatrist with a keen interest in natural molecules and their effects on our minds, Dr. Becker brings to the table a fresh perspective on mental health. His insight on the brain as a metabolic organ, the positive impacts of the ketogenic diet, as well as the intriguing world of psychedelics promises to transform the way we think about our mental wellbeing. Ready for a trip into the unknown?
Peeling back the layers of conventional wisdom, we venture into the profound impacts of aging and longevity on our minds. Dr. Becker highlights the GABAergic Inner Neuron Net and unravels how low doses of ketamine can facilitate greater integration within the brain. Moreover, he paints a vivid picture of the convergence of effects between psychedelics and ketamine, bringing to light the importance of consciousness as a target for treatment. We also open up a thought-provoking discussion around how psychedelics can enhance not just our mental health, but also our overall brain health and aging.
Finally, we dive into a fascinating conversation about the role of genetics and nutrition in mental health. Dr. Becker's approach to functional workups, the potential advantages of the ketogenic diet, and the intriguing comparison between a diesel car and our mind's engine are sure to stir your curiosity. So, are you ready to rethink mental health, psychedelics, and the aging brain? We would love to hear your reviews and suggestions for future topics and guests. Remember, this journey is just as much yours as it is ours.
