Exploring the potential of self-guided dosing in Ketamine Therapy from the results of a study of self-guided dosing in DMT therapy.

We do a deep dive into the ability of Ketamine to boost brain flexibility. We look into how Ketamine boosts neuroplasticity and how that can help improve cognitive function in patients with long lasting depression. The podcast is based on the paper “Neuroplasticity and Psychedelics: A comprehensive examination of classic and non-classic compounds in pre and clinical models” available as a pdf here.

This podcast tells about a research paper that looks at how people who use ketamine recreationally but haven't sought help for substance abuse use the drug. The study finds that these users often have their own rules for using ketamine, like sticking to certain doses, using it in specific places, and being careful about who they buy it from and use it with, to reduce the risk of negative consequences. The podcast is based on the paper “Occasional and Continuous Ketamine Users: Consumption Rules and Harm Reduction Strategies” by Dr. Raimondo Maria Pavarin of University of Bologna and can be found here.
