Psychedelic Treatment for Mental Health with Dr. Chepke, MD, FAPA, Part I – Ep115

In this fascinating conversation the guys talk to Dr. Craig Chepke.  Dr. Chepke takes a holistic approach to mental health including psychotherapeutic interventions, physical health and wellness through exercise, dietary modification, and supplementation.

Another interesting thing and the topic of the show is his use of the psychedelic ketamine to treat depression.  Many don’t know that this treatment has been approved by the FDA for over twenty years.

The conversation revolves around the treatment, it’s requirements, and Dr. Chepke’s experiences treating depression with the drug.  And believe it or not Dr. Chepke begins to change Chris’s admitted skepticism to the use of psychedelics to treat these conditions.
