Welcome to the Ketamine Startup Podcast!

The first podcast dedicated to ketamine therapy for medical professionals, and we're just getting started.

We've been in this space since 2018, in the trenches of ketamine therapy, medical entrepreneurship, and what it actually takes to build a practice that lasts. That experience is the foundation of everything we bring to this show.

Now in our second season with 60+ episodes in the catalog, the Ketamine Startup Podcast is evolving alongside the industry. We've helped over 16 clinics open nationwide, and our conversations have expanded to match where things are heading: ketamine therapy, pain management, emerging psychedelic medicine, marketing, mindset, and the business of running a modern medical practice.

Each episode brings you relevant topics, real industry insights, and honest conversations with the pioneers, researchers, and clinic owners who are shaping this space.

Whether you're building your first clinic, refining your protocols, or keeping an eye on what's coming next in psychedelic medicine, there's something here for you.
