Chad Harman CEO at Psycheceutical on Neurodirect-Delivered Ketamine

In this episode, guest Chad Harman discusses the innovative Neurodirect technology, invented by Dr. Ronald Aungdon, a leading neuropsychiatrist and neurologist. With a proven track record of conducting over 50 clinical trials and securing FDA approval for more than 30 of them, Dr. Aungdon’s latest invention addresses a significant gap in the delivery of neurological medications.

In the opening segment of this episode, I delve into a fascinating discussion about an innovative medical treatment, Neurodirect technology. Admittedly, I approached the topic with a healthy dose of skepticism. As a newcomer to the concept, I questioned the effectiveness of this novel approach to neurological medication delivery. However, as I delved deeper into the science underpinning the technology, learned about its FDA approval, and understood its compelling safety profile, my perspective began to shift. What unfolded was a journey from skepticism to intrigue, as I uncovered the profound potential that this groundbreaking treatment holds for the future of medicine.

Harman explains that the Neurodirect technology allows for the application of neuroeffective compounds topically, specifically at the back of the neck, to bypass the systemic side effects commonly associated with traditional neurological medications. This targeted application has led to profound effects. The first patented application of this technology was with sumatryptin, a drug used for severe migraines. Traditional oral administration of sumatryptin often left residual symptoms and took 35 to 45 minutes to work. However, with the Neurodirect delivery platform, the effects are immediate, leading to almost complete remission of symptoms within minutes.

The benefits of Neurodirect don’t stop there. Dr. Aungdon has been using this technology for topical ketamine administration for over a year, with promising results. A recent peer-reviewed article in Drug Delivery magazine reported on an observational study involving 100 patients suffering from severe PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. The study found that 80% of these patients responded favorably to Neurodirect-delivered ketamine, thus offering a new, safe, and effective method of delivering neuroeffective compounds.

Harman also highlights the potential benefits of this technology in addressing the current epidemic of anxiety and panic disorders, exacerbated by factors such as physician and nurse burnout during the pandemic. The ability to deliver fast relief through topical administration could revolutionize patient care and provide a breakthrough in the delivery of neurological treatments.

Milly Day: Dancing Towards Recovery – The Power of Movement in Addiction Treatment

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to our esteemed guest, Milly Day. As a talented and dedicated movement dance therapist, Milly specializes in guiding individuals in rehab through transformative movement and dance sessions. These sessions are carefully designed to help participants release deeply held trauma, foster non-verbal expression, and cultivate a greater connection with their own body, mind, and spirit. In addition, Milly’s approach encourages individuals to develop more effective communication with others, creating a supportive and healing environment for all involved.

Milly’s expertise in movement dance therapy has been instrumental in helping countless individuals in recovery access a unique and powerful healing modality. By incorporating dance and movement into their therapeutic journey, participants can delve into the depths of their emotional landscape and bring forth insights that may have remained hidden or inaccessible through conventional talk therapy alone. This holistic approach to healing addresses not only the mental and emotional aspects of addiction but also emphasizes the importance of physical well-being and the mind-body connection.

One of the core principles of Milly’s work is the belief in the power of non-verbal communication. Through the language of movement, individuals are able to express themselves more authentically and connect with their innermost emotions, even when words fail them. This mode of expression can be particularly beneficial for those in rehab, as it enables participants to navigate and process complex emotions that may have contributed to their addictive behaviors.

Furthermore, Milly’s movement dance therapy sessions cultivate a sense of community and interconnectedness among participants. By engaging in shared movement experiences, individuals in rehab can foster meaningful connections with one another, creating a strong support network that is essential for long-term recovery. These connections not only facilitate personal growth but also provide an invaluable source of encouragement and understanding as participants navigate the challenges of their recovery journey.

Milly’s approach to movement dance therapy also emphasizes the importance of physical health and well-being in the recovery process. Addiction often takes a significant toll on the body, and engaging in therapeutic movement can help to counteract the physical effects of substance abuse. Through carefully designed dance sessions, participants can improve their cardiovascular health, flexibility, and strength, all while reducing stress and anxiety. This enhanced physical well-being contributes to overall resilience and serves as a vital component in the journey toward healing and sobriety.

Milly Day’s dedication and expertise in the field of movement dance therapy have touched and transformed the lives of many individuals in rehab. Her approach to healing provides a unique, empowering, and compassionate path towards recovery, addressing the emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of addiction treatment. We are truly honored to have her as our guest, and we look forward to learning more about her inspiring work in the realm of movement dance therapy.

Movement dance therapy, a holistic and innovative approach to healing, has garnered increasing attention for its potential to transform the lives of individuals struggling with addiction. As a creative and expressive form of therapy, it taps into the innate power of movement and dance to facilitate emotional, cognitive, and physical integration. By incorporating this therapeutic modality into rehab programs, individuals in recovery can access a unique and powerful tool to help them navigate the complex journey towards sobriety.

At its core, movement dance therapy is rooted in the understanding that the mind and body are interconnected, and that healing must involve a balance between emotional, mental, and physical well-being. For individuals grappling with addiction, this holistic approach can be particularly beneficial, as it addresses the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of addictive behaviors. Through the exploration of movement and dance, individuals can cultivate self-awareness, gain insights into their emotional landscape, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

One of the strengths of movement dance therapy in addiction treatment is its ability to foster self-expression and emotional regulation. In rehab settings, individuals often struggle to articulate their thoughts and feelings, which can impede progress in therapy. Movement dance therapy provides an alternative, non-verbal channel for communication, allowing individuals to convey their emotions through movement and dance. As they connect with their bodies, they can process and release pent-up emotions, leading to a greater sense of emotional balance and well-being.

Additionally, movement dance therapy can encourage connection and support among individuals in rehab. Group dance therapy sessions can create a safe, non-judgmental space for participants to share their experiences, build trust, and develop a sense of belonging. Through the shared language of movement, individuals can forge meaningful connections with others on a similar path, fostering a supportive community that is crucial for long-term recovery.

Another notable benefit of movement dance therapy in rehab settings is its ability to improve physical health and well-being. Addiction often takes a significant toll on the body, and engaging in regular movement can help to counteract the physical effects of substance abuse. By participating in movement dance therapy, individuals can improve their cardiovascular health, flexibility, and strength, all while reducing stress and anxiety. This enhanced physical well-being can bolster overall resilience and serve as a vital component in the recovery process.

In conclusion, movement dance therapy offers a unique and powerful approach to addiction treatment, addressing the emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of recovery. By incorporating this therapeutic modality into rehab programs, individuals can access a holistic, supportive, and empowering path towards healing and sobriety. As the understanding and acceptance of movement dance therapy continues to grow, it is poised to become an invaluable tool in the ongoing battle against addiction.

KARE: Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy for Alcoholism

KARE: Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy for Alcoholism

My guest is Dr. Steven Radowitz, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Nushama.

Starting his career in New York during the peak of the opioid and AIDS crises, Dr. Steven Radowitz has a wealth of experience seeing the effects trauma and addiction can have on our physical health firsthand. At the intersection of science and spirituality, Dr. Radowitz joined Nushama to oversee and develop treatment modalities. He believes psychedelic medicine’s framework of neuroscience, mystical experience, and integration therapy is the future of mental wellness, and current solutions often fall short, treating symptoms without addressing underlying issues.

From opioids to alcohol addiction, Dr. Radowitz’s team supports people struggling with substance use—in addition to Nushama’s ketamine-assisted therapy protocol for mood disorders, he leads Ketamine for the Reduction of Alcohol Relapse (KARE), an innovative, highly efficacious ketamine-assisted psychotherapy protocol that is 86% effective. Nushama’s team is the first to bring this revolutionary treatment to New York City, using the power of psychedelics to transform addictive behaviors. Prior, Dr. Radowitz worked at St. Vincent’s NYC Midtown medical center, where he was medical director of the inpatient alcohol and opiate detox and treatment unit. With a history of being part of the solution, he has been a DEA-licensed provider for over a decade to treat opioid addiction with buprenorphine maintenance therapy.

Overall, Dr. Radowitz sees the source of disease as a “dis-ease” that results from a misalignment of mind, body and spirit. He has a passion for preventive medicine, getting to the root of a health problem before it manifests. In contrast to traditional medicine, he views psychedelics as powerful tools to help us become aware of the origin of imbalance and guide us toward wholeness, health, and wellbeing, healing from within. He and the Nushama team have administered thousands of ketamine journeys for mood disorders and are known to be best-in-class and among the most experienced globally.

From a sheltered Montreal community to the Big Apple, Dr. Radowitz was not raised with a spiritual background but felt something was missing. Upon moving to New York, he explored the city’s culture and nightlife on a journey to expand his consciousness—the study of Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, transcendental meditation, and various forms of yoga resonated deeply. After reading How to Change Your Mind, he witnessed the profound transformation that psychedelics can bring, serendipitously meeting Co-Founder Jay Godfrey, who invited him to join Nushama.

Dr. Radowitz has been practicing internal medicine and primary care since 1998. He currently mentors master’s students attending the Columbia School of Social Work interning at Nushama for their field practicum, and prior, he supervised Columbia medical students and residents. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and Cell Biology from McGill University and his medical degree at The Chicago Medical School with an internal medicine residency at Rush University Medical Center. Before Nushama, Dr. Radowitz also ran the primary care program at Goldman Sachs for more than 10 years and held a private practice specializing in general medicine, HIV care, and preventive medicine—he saw the connection between chronic stress and health among New Yorkers, which also led to his transition to psychedelic medicine.
