With obesity rates continuing to climb, more and more people are turning to medical weight loss to help them lose weight. But what is medical weight loss, and is it right for you?
“Thankfully everything changed after my fourth infusion. It was as though a switch had been flipped and my brain lit up. I noticed color creeping back into the world, and the hard knot of dread and dispassion in my chest melted away.”

Would you like to improve your mood, increase your energy, and lose weight? You may be considering nutrient therapy. This relatively new form of treatment uses essential nutrients to help restore balance in the body and improve overall health.
This is a very old medication with NEW possibilities! Ketamine has mainly been used as an anesthetic medication; but in the last 20 years, research has shown Ketamine to be highly effective in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, OCD, and chronic pain. Ketamine works by binding to various receptors in the brain to promote regrowth and connections between brain cells that help regulate one’s mood. For patients experiencing chronic pain, longer infusions have been shown to “reset” nerves and decrease neuropathic pain.
A patient’s “set and setting” are the most important aspects of a good infusion. “Set” refers to the patient’s mindset coming into the infusion. Having an open mind to the experience and avoiding any negative triggers prior to your appointment, will help you have the best outcome. Examples would include avoiding any confrontational conversations with loved ones, watching the news, With that said, 99% of our patients have expressed feeling nervous before their first infusion; this is completely normal!
We highly recommend setting up appointments with your therapist during the first two weeks of treatment. The dissociation that occurs during your first couple Ketamine infusions can be intense and most patients find it helpful to process the experience. Let us know if you need a referral for a therapist.
The most common side effects are Nausea and Fatigue. We offer Zofran, a preventative anti-nausea medicine, before your infusion. If nausea persists after your infusion, speak with the doctor and he/she can make adjustments to your dose and how fast or slow we run the infusion.
Since Ketamine is only approved for anesthesia, we can provide a superbill for the patient to submit to their insurance company. We will bill your insurance for your initial consultation, but all treatments (infusion appointments) will be self-pay with payment due at the time of service.
We advise you to go directly home after your first infusion. After you have had a couple of treatments, you’ll have a better idea of how the medication makes you feel. It’s normal to feel a little intoxicated, tipsy or nauseous directly after your infusion. You may even feel tired and fatigued for the remainder of the day. Many people are able to return to work 1-2 hours after their infusion, but we advise you to take the remainder of the day off after your first visit to see how you feel.
We are excited to help you reach for wellness! There is a growing demand across the country for alternative treatments for depression and pain that have been resistant to standard medical services and interventions. Contact us to learn how ketamine therapy is being used as an effective treatment.
