Ever wondered how a first responder podcast could tackle mental health and chronic pain with a sprinkle of humour? In this episode of 'No One Fights Alone', Brad Shepherd chats with Dr. Evan Peskin, cofounder and medical director of Sanctuary Healthcare. Dr. Peskin brings his expertise in ketamine infusions to the table, offering a fresh perspective on mental health treatment. Inspired by his father, who taught him to treat every patient like family, Dr.
Peskin's approach is both compassionate and innovative. Ketamine, originally a veterinary anaesthetic, has found new life in treating mental health issues and chronic pain. Dr. Peskin shares how ketamine can create new nerve pathways in the brain, helping patients break free from entrenched patterns of pain and depression. He uses the Snowy Hill Analogy to explain this process – imagine fresh snowfall allowing for new paths down a hill, breaking away from well-worn routes.
This episode isn't just about the science; it's also filled with personal anecdotes and a touch of humour. Dr. Peskin's background as a stand-up comedian shines through, making complex medical concepts accessible and engaging. If you're curious about alternative mental health treatments or simply want to hear a heartfelt conversation, this episode is a must-listen.
