info_outlineAre you looking for a way to step out of chronic mental illness by resetting your brain?
In this episode, we meet Kathryn A. Walker, a former ER and ICU nurse turned CRNA and CEO of Revitalist Lifestyle and Wellness, (with clinics in Florida and Tennessee).
Kathryn has witnessed firsthand the limitations of our current mental health system, where patients are often left feeling stigmatized, unsupported, not listened to by doctors, and chronically ill with a ‘one size fits all approach that does not help them.
Through years of intensive training as a psychiatric nurse and anesthetist, Kathryn noticed how deeply connected all our organs are to one another and to our brain. She saw firsthand the emotional toll of physical ailment, and conversely, the physiological manifestations of psychological trauma. And she learned how to give the brain a reset in a fast, safe way.
This conversation with Kathryn may give you hope. She is a passionate advocate for psychedelic-assisted therapy as a powerful tool for healing. She believes that by treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – we can finally start to address the root causes of mental health issues and achieve lasting remission.
While research is ongoing in this field of science, its potential will revolutionize psychiatry.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- The limitations of the current mental health system
- How psychedelic medicine can help heal trauma and improve mental well-being
- Why a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment doesn't work
- The importance of integrating mental and physical health care
- How to reframe your view on mental health and take steps towards healing
- How safe ketamine and magic mushrooms are and why they are not something to take simply because we don’t feel well
Don't miss this groundbreaking episode! Feel free to contact her at her clinic to understand if you are suitable for this kind of treatment. An initial consultation with Kathryn costs less than $50.

All the substances mentioned by Kathryn are to be used solely under strict medical supervision, in medical settings and after a thorough assessment by a trained professional expert in the fields of psychiatric and psychedelics.

We refer you to those episodes to expand your knowledge on where the science is at the moment regarding magic mushrooms, ketamines and so on. Before starting any treatment, please talk to your doctor.
