Ketamine therapy. Magic mushrooms. Psychedelics. Treatment resistant depression. Matthew Perry. And a mushroom that naturally produces ketamine. This episode covers all of it.

Dr. Amy Price Neff is a Nashville physician, founder of MindStream Integrative Medicine, trained at the University of Virginia and University of Arizona, and certified in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

We go deep on what ketamine therapy actually feels like, how it rewires the brain, why it works two to three times better than antidepressants for most people, and how psilocybin mushrooms compare. We also cover what really happened to Matthew Perry, whether mushrooms can help with grief, why cannabis is Schedule 1 while opioids are Schedule 2, and what to say when someone you love makes comments about not wanting to be here.

Aimee also shares something she has never said publicly before. That she attempted suicide at 19 while on antidepressants that were later pulled from the market because of exactly what they did to her.

This episode is for anyone who has tried everything and still feels hopeless. For anyone who lost someone to mental illness. For anyone who is just trying to feel better and keeps hitting a wall.

Not medical advice. Always talk to your own doctor. But this conversation might change how you think about what healing actually looks like.
