Rewire Ketamine Therapy: Brad Silberman’s Mission to Make At-Home Mental Health Treatment Safe, Accessible, and Life-Changing | ANEW Ep 76

In this compelling episode of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar—clinical psychologist, registered dietitian, fitness expert, and author of Deprogram Diet Culture—welcomes back Brad Silberman, trauma survivor and founder of Rewire Ketamine, for an in-depth look at how at-home ketamine therapy is reshaping the future of mental health care.

As treatment-resistant depression rates surge across the U.S., innovative solutions are urgently needed. Brad shares how his personal healing journey and role as CEO of ketamine clinics inspired him to launch RewireMeNow.com, a platform delivering safe, guided, and monitored ketamine treatments right into people’s homes. Unlike existing models, Rewire combines strict psychiatric evaluations, live nurse monitoring, and cutting-edge safety protocols—solving problems that traditional ketamine clinics and mail-order models often miss.

Listeners will learn what sets Rewire apart, including its detailed ketamine safety protocol, low-dose customization, inclusion of real-time vitals monitoring, and post-session assessments—all crucial in light of high-profile tragedies such as Matthew Perry’s ketamine-related death. Brad also explains how Rewire ensures patients are never alone during sessions, either by requiring a support person or providing video supervision.

Beyond logistics, the conversation explores the emotional and therapeutic depth of psychedelic healing, the importance of intention setting in ketamine therapy, and the value of pairing ketamine with talk therapy for deeper breakthroughs. You’ll also hear about the potential of ketamine to support not only depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, but also its emerging promise for OCD, ADHD, and even eating disorders.

This episode includes moving patient stories—from a 21-year-old who regained his purpose and got a job after years of isolation, to a woman in her 50s who overcame severe anxiety and now enjoys dinners, movies, and freedom. Brad’s mission is clear: to make affordable ketamine therapy accessible, safe, and transformational—without compromising care.

If you’re curious about how low dose ketamine works, how it compares to options like Spravato, or whether it can be used in conjunction with traditional therapy, this episode is packed with answers, science, and heart.

🌿 Tune in to understand how holistic mental health can be achieved—by walking hand-in-hand with patients and creating an emotionally intelligent, medically rigorous system that truly works.

Welcome back to the ANEW Insight Podcast.


00:00:36:11 - 00:00:39:21
We are back for the second half
of our interview with trauma survivor,


00:00:40:04 - 00:00:44:01
healing innovator and mental health
trailblazer Brad Silberman.


00:00:44:02 - 00:00:45:09
Welcome back Brad. 


00:00:45:09 - 00:00:47:02
Thank you. Great to be here.


00:00:47:13 - 00:00:50:05
Brad gave us some insightful perspective


00:00:50:05 - 00:00:54:06
into his painful journey
from trauma to thriving.


00:00:54:14 - 00:00:56:20
I cannot wait to pick your brain
some more.


00:00:56:20 - 00:00:58:11
Are you ready? Always.


00:00:58:11 - 00:01:03:08
Okay, so we started to talk
about ketamine therapy.


00:01:03:16 - 00:01:05:07
And that I think is a little bit


00:01:05:07 - 00:01:08:08
controversial, especially since
what happened with Matthew Perry.


00:01:09:03 - 00:01:11:19
But just give us an insight into


00:01:11:19 - 00:01:14:19
what inspired you to create Rewire


00:01:14:22 - 00:01:18:02
and how does that help people struggling
with their mental health?


00:01:18:05 - 00:01:19:22
Okay, so


00:01:20:14 - 00:01:24:21
I was afforded the opportunity
of being CEO of ketamine clinics.


00:01:25:05 - 00:01:28:05
last year in Los Angeles.


00:01:28:18 - 00:01:32:11
And I just saw how it helped people, it was amazing.


00:01:33:07 - 00:01:37:13
Unfortunately the clinics closed down due to various reasons.


00:01:38:23 - 00:01:41:11
and I had a


00:01:41:11 - 00:01:44:11
calling, where


00:01:44:17 - 00:01:47:07
The responsibility really


00:01:47:07 - 00:01:50:07
to provide for those patients


00:01:50:18 - 00:01:52:19
with something better.


00:01:52:19 - 00:01:55:19
In my opinion. Just I saw


00:01:56:07 - 00:01:58:17
how amazing it made their life


00:01:58:17 - 00:02:02:15
with one treatment, and now the clinics have closed.


00:02:02:22 - 00:02:05:22
So I had an idea to bring it to their homes.


00:02:06:03 - 00:02:09:02
that creates a more accessible and convenient approach.


00:02:09:14 - 00:02:13:10
And a safe approach to provide ketamine therapy.


00:02:13:21 - 00:02:15:21
So I put it all together,


00:02:15:21 - 00:02:20:00
and it took me a couple of months
to really get it going, find the relevant


00:02:20:00 - 00:02:23:11
clinicians and the doctors and,
and the operating structure.


00:02:23:11 - 00:02:26:11
And now it's operating and and helping people.


00:02:26:12 - 00:02:29:10
So I'm very grateful I’m proud.


00:02:29:10 - 00:02:33:01
And it just felt right
because of my journey of me


00:02:33:11 - 00:02:36:05
really having that non medicated


00:02:36:05 - 00:02:39:05
psychedelic experience, me


00:02:39:07 - 00:02:41:20
dying and coming back and then seeing,


00:02:41:20 - 00:02:46:20
the other side, and seeing this side. 
I kinda just felt right to really


00:02:47:14 - 00:02:50:14
to use what I was here for, to really


00:02:50:21 - 00:02:53:21
make it count for people, cause a lot of people


00:02:53:21 - 00:02:57:09
a lot of  people are struggling. Everyone has challenges.


00:02:57:09 - 00:03:01:10
And I mean, I think the data suggest
that in California alone there’s nearly


00:03:01:10 - 00:03:06:01
10 million people that were diagnosed
in the last year, with treatment resistant depression.


00:03:07:06 - 00:03:08:21
Wow. That's a huge amount.


00:03:08:21 - 00:03:11:21
And this therapy helps.


00:03:12:13 - 00:03:14:04
Go through the process.


00:03:14:04 - 00:03:17:16
What does it look like
if they're coming into your home?


00:03:18:02 - 00:03:21:01
And just take us through
what the experience would, would be like.


00:03:21:01 - 00:03:23:06
Alright, so just what’s


00:03:23:06 - 00:03:25:08
Should I tell you what's currently out there? Yes.


00:03:25:08 - 00:03:28:06
Can just explain the difference? Yes.


00:03:28:06 - 00:03:30:19
What's out there are


00:03:30:19 - 00:03:32:12
clinics right? Clinics


00:03:32:12 - 00:03:35:05
that cannot be everywhere
because they're clinics, right?


00:03:35:05 - 00:03:35:15
Yeah.


00:03:35:15 - 00:03:39:10
So they're not close to every single
person's house or workplace.


00:03:39:10 - 00:03:42:10
They are only open during working hours.


00:03:42:19 - 00:03:47:00
So first of all, people cannot
for people to get to a clinic


00:03:47:00 - 00:03:50:11
it often takes a long time
because they’re not nearby.


00:03:51:14 - 00:03:53:07
And they can only go during working hours.


00:03:53:07 - 00:03:53:19
Right.


00:03:53:19 - 00:03:55:08
So if they’re working, they can’t go.


00:03:55:08 - 00:03:56:04
Right.


00:03:57:14 - 00:03:58:14
Often when they,


00:03:59:23 - 00:04:01:18
when they do go to clinics


00:04:01:18 - 00:04:04:17
they have to be driven because they can not drive after ketamine therapy.


00:04:06:02 - 00:04:08:02
So they either take an Uber for an hour, 


00:04:08:02 - 00:04:10:14
or a half hour
or two hours, or they get their


00:04:10:14 - 00:04:15:05
spouse or a friend to take them
that has to wait with them for a two hour treatment.


00:04:15:05 - 00:04:18:09
and to drive them home. It's not convenient. Not.


00:04:18:09 - 00:04:20:10
In these clinics, okay.


00:04:20:10 - 00:04:24:01
There’s an FDA approved and insurance
backed product.


00:04:24:01 - 00:04:25:19
Called Spravato, okay.


00:04:25:19 - 00:04:29:20
You need to get a good insurer
to cover that and you have to still pay


00:04:29:20 - 00:04:32:08
 copay often. Which is often


00:04:34:02 - 00:04:35:16
expensive. Sometimes


00:04:35:16 - 00:04:38:06
I think the average copay that we experienced


00:04:38:06 - 00:04:41:06
was about $80 a treatment


00:04:41:21 - 00:04:44:21
on top of the payment of the premium.


00:04:46:19 - 00:04:49:02
Then you have


00:04:49:02 - 00:04:53:12
the IV or IM, intravenous or intramuscular
 ketamine at these clinics.


00:04:54:12 - 00:04:58:07
The average cost of that is about $700 a treatment, which is


00:04:59:13 - 00:05:02:05
pretty expensive for the messes. Yes.


00:05:02:05 - 00:05:05:19
You have at home therapy
which is a sublingual


00:05:05:19 - 00:05:08:07
lozenge, or 


00:05:09:00 - 00:05:12:00
That's a great way to to,


00:05:12:02 - 00:05:13:22
to provide ketamine to people


00:05:13:22 - 00:05:18:00
But the problem, I believe is that it's not safe.


00:05:18:00 - 00:05:19:15
It’s not monitored. Right.


00:05:19:15 - 00:05:22:15
And the inclusion criteria is not stringent.


00:05:23:03 - 00:05:23:21
Okay.


00:05:23:21 - 00:05:27:09
So what's happening
is people misusing and abusing it.


00:05:27:23 - 00:05:32:02
You know which is that's
what happens with society unfortunately. Yes.


00:05:32:04 - 00:05:35:04
So I saw this and I


00:05:35:23 - 00:05:38:08
decided or try to make


00:05:38:08 - 00:05:41:08
and at home therapy model where


00:05:42:05 - 00:05:43:12
it's accessible.


00:05:43:12 - 00:05:45:00
It's affordable.


00:05:45:00 - 00:05:46:15
And the safety piece was missing.


00:05:46:15 - 00:05:47:14
Yeah.


00:05:47:14 - 00:05:48:20
The at home 


00:05:50:10 - 00:05:53:10
ketamine is great
because if  creates that accessibility


00:05:53:20 - 00:05:56:07
and potentially the affordability.


00:05:56:07 - 00:05:59:11
But the issue that I had
with it, is that


00:05:59:11 - 00:06:02:22
it didn’t provide the safety mechanism
of this controlled substance.


00:06:02:22 - 00:06:03:11
Right.


00:06:04:00 - 00:06:05:23
People started misusing it and abusing it


00:06:05:23 - 00:06:08:03
and things started to happen negatively.


00:06:09:14 - 00:06:13:11
This is if they could,
if they were going to just get ketamine


00:06:14:09 - 00:06:17:09
off of the street or from wherever.


00:06:18:01 - 00:06:22:07
No, no, that’s kind of recreational use, 
street ketamine, street ko.


00:06:22:07 - 00:06:22:19
Okay.


00:06:22:19 - 00:06:25:19
No, this if from ketamine companies that are in this


00:06:25:19 - 00:06:29:09
the same way we are in this to, to help people.


00:06:29:09 - 00:06:33:05
But they, there was no monitoring of the actual


00:06:33:19 - 00:06:35:22
ketamine of the treatments.


00:06:35:22 - 00:06:37:17
I see, I see.


00:06:37:17 - 00:06:40:11
So they'll have an assessment.


00:06:40:11 - 00:06:41:14
Okay.


00:06:41:14 - 00:06:43:02
Which


00:06:43:02 - 00:06:44:18
was either stringent,


00:06:44:18 - 00:06:49:05
or not stringent, and they'll deliver
a whole bunch of ketamine to the person’s house.


00:06:50:01 - 00:06:54:12
And that allows that person
to misuse and abuse it.


00:06:54:12 - 00:06:58:16
Either with friends at parties 
or take more than they should, etc.


00:06:58:16 - 00:07:01:16
Yes. Okay. So


00:07:02:12 - 00:07:05:12
the whole concept of Rewire


00:07:06:00 - 00:07:08:07
the priority was safety.


00:07:08:07 - 00:07:10:23
How do we create something? Okay.


00:07:10:23 - 00:07:12:21
That someone cannot misuse and abuse it.


00:07:12:21 - 00:07:15:21
And it’s monitored for every single treatment.


00:07:16:13 - 00:07:19:13
So we set up a protocol that enabled that.


00:07:20:02 - 00:07:21:00
Okay. Okay.


00:07:22:01 - 00:07:25:01
So first of all there’s a very stringent


00:07:26:03 - 00:07:30:12
inclusion criteria
with a psychiatric evaluation. Yes. On video.


00:07:30:14 - 00:07:34:00
To either approve or reject a patient based on safety.


00:07:34:00 - 00:07:38:17
 Is this safe for you? Will this benefit you?
Or the other options.


00:07:39:02 - 00:07:41:05
Okay. Yes.


00:07:41:05 - 00:07:42:18
It it all makes sense,


00:07:42:18 - 00:07:45:08
then we will send to you


00:07:45:08 - 00:07:48:05
a technology enabled blood pressure machine.


00:07:48:05 - 00:07:48:23
Okay.


00:07:48:23 - 00:07:52:15
Which is connects via
the cellular technology.


00:07:53:16 - 00:07:59:06
To us at the back end so our nurse on the back end can see your vitals in real time.


00:07:59:06 - 00:08:00:07
Good.


00:08:00:07 - 00:08:03:04
So before treatment, they check their blood pressure.


00:08:03:04 - 00:08:06:04
We approve the blood pressure for the treatment.


00:08:06:14 - 00:08:06:22
Okay.


00:08:06:22 - 00:08:12:00
And then they have the treatment. After the treatment we check their blood pressure again


00:08:12:00 - 00:08:14:09
to make sure that it’s stable and everything is great.


00:08:14:09 - 00:08:15:21
And then we discharge them.


00:08:16:07 - 00:08:18:20
So that's one element. The second one is that


00:08:19:22 - 00:08:22:12
generally ketamine is dosed


00:08:22:12 - 00:08:26:05
based on weight, on how heavy you are. Right?


00:08:26:05 - 00:08:29:06
In my experience really large people


00:08:29:18 - 00:08:33:21
have had too intense of experience
from a little bit of ketamine.


00:08:34:05 - 00:08:34:23
Wow. 


00:08:34:23 - 00:08:41:06
And very large people have no interaction or experience with high doses of ketamine.


00:08:41:06 - 00:08:48:06
Wow. So we’ve got a titration initiation session
where the first time that you have the treatment


00:08:48:15 - 00:08:51:13
we’re on video with you, 
our nurses psychiatric nursing practitioners


00:08:51:21 - 00:08:53:23
to understand your exact dose.


00:08:53:23 - 00:08:55:08
Wow. Good.


00:08:55:08 - 00:08:56:20
And that's the learning dose.


00:08:56:20 - 00:09:00:11
we also only deliver very minimal amounts of ketamine to the person’s house.


00:09:00:11 - 00:09:02:06
So they cannot misuse or abuse it.


00:09:03:03 - 00:09:06:03
So that's why
that's that's really our differentiator.


00:09:06:03 - 00:09:10:17
And that's that's a model and protocol that 
we’re very proud to have developed.


00:09:10:17 - 00:09:13:12
Yes. And it is helping.


00:09:13:12 - 00:09:19:05
And it's helping so many patients because
they feel that we’re walking with them hand in hand.


00:09:19:05 - 00:09:22:13
Throughout their journey,
 there are post survey assessments


00:09:22:13 - 00:09:25:05
after every session there’s a post survey.


00:09:26:00 - 00:09:26:10
assessment


00:09:26:10 - 00:09:29:19
to see how was. If we need to change the dosage.


00:09:30:01 - 00:09:34:05
And obviously the depression anxiety question 
is throughout the process.


00:09:34:05 - 00:09:37:09
So we really walk hand in hand
 with every patient.


00:09:37:09 - 00:09:39:01
To make them feel comfortable, secure,


00:09:39:01 - 00:09:40:03
and that we’re really with them.


00:09:40:15 - 00:09:45:03
And so your outcomes
with those questionnaires show


00:09:45:03 - 00:09:49:20
an improvement in depression
and anxiety post treatment? Yes.


00:09:49:20 - 00:09:51:00
Oh I love it.


00:09:51:00 - 00:09:52:13
That's awesome.


00:09:52:13 - 00:09:56:07
We’ve had people that are like, can’t believe
 how it’s helped their life.


00:09:56:07 - 00:09:59:00
They can finally go out.


00:09:59:06 - 00:10:01:15
Not worry about things
that previously worry them.


00:10:01:15 - 00:10:02:21
Have that anxiety.


00:10:02:21 - 00:10:04:14
Panic attacks.


00:10:04:14 - 00:10:07:10
What do they report
as the experience?


00:10:07:11 - 00:10:08:22
I mean, does it vary widely.


00:10:08:22 - 00:10:10:23
Do you do you go into that?


00:10:10:23 - 00:10:11:09
Yeah.


00:10:11:09 - 00:10:12:21
When they're when they're


00:10:12:21 - 00:10:16:09
during treatment
what do they report that they experience?


00:10:16:15 - 00:10:18:03
So again it's different


00:10:19:04 - 00:10:21:11
for every person and every treatment actually.


00:10:22:15 - 00:10:23:11
I think


00:10:25:08 - 00:10:27:20
there's more to the actual treatment


00:10:27:20 - 00:10:30:19
than the treatment dosage itself.


00:10:30:19 - 00:10:33:04
I think it’s all about the intention for the treatment.


00:10:33:14 - 00:10:35:17
And how you prepare for the treatment.


00:10:35:17 - 00:10:38:17
So if you eat for example huge


00:10:39:12 - 00:10:41:18
like, steak for lunch


00:10:41:18 - 00:10:44:18
and then an hour later you go in to treatment, 
it’s probably not gonna


00:10:44:21 - 00:10:48:20
you’re not going to get the effects
 as much as if you don’t.


00:10:49:05 - 00:10:53:01
Or not the effects, but you probably wouldn’t get to that dissociative state


00:10:53:01 - 00:10:55:00
that you would have if you didn’t.


00:10:56:00 - 00:10:58:19
The intention that you set for that treatment,


00:10:58:19 - 00:11:00:10
That's really important we believe


00:11:00:10 - 00:11:01:13
because it kinda of


00:11:01:13 - 00:11:04:13
gets you to a place, gets you to a place


00:11:05:03 - 00:11:09:12
that you’re actually looking for, instead of just going there empty handed or blind.


00:11:09:19 - 00:11:14:08
Do your practitioners help them
get into that intention,


00:11:14:08 - 00:11:15:22
and how do they do that?


00:11:15:22 - 00:11:20:00
Yes, well, before every treatment
 we recommend breathing techniques,


00:11:20:00 - 00:11:23:00
we recommend setting your 
intention for your session.


00:11:23:15 - 00:11:26:15
And they go into it, and they have experienced


00:11:27:11 - 00:11:29:01
a much greater


00:11:29:09 - 00:11:30:19
Symptom reduction.


00:11:30:19 - 00:11:32:09
Wonderful.


00:11:32:09 - 00:11:34:18
So I want to go into the controversy


00:11:34:18 - 00:11:38:04
just a little bit,
especially with Matthew Perry.


00:11:38:04 - 00:11:42:17
He was the you know he had taken ketamine


00:11:43:19 - 00:11:45:16
at his home I believe.


00:11:45:16 - 00:11:48:16
What do you know about that and how


00:11:48:18 - 00:11:52:14
how does your treatment differ
from what his experience was?


00:11:53:00 - 00:11:55:16
Well, first of all, that's a real tragedy.


00:11:55:16 - 00:11:57:00
Awful. It's horrible.


00:11:57:00 - 00:12:03:15
And, you know, these are the reasons
which make us really have that safety protocol in place. Yes.


00:12:05:08 - 00:12:07:14
So once we get the landing dose,


00:12:07:14 - 00:12:09:21
of the ketamine, we


00:12:10:20 - 00:12:12:19
only use that landing dose.


00:12:12:19 - 00:12:15:13
which is still a minimal amount.


00:12:15:13 - 00:12:18:02
So it’s a low dose of ketamine.


00:12:18:02 - 00:12:18:23
Okay.


00:12:18:23 - 00:12:21:23
It takes people depending on what they doing 
and how they’re doing it,


00:12:23:04 - 00:12:25:19
to a dissociative feeling


00:12:25:22 - 00:12:28:22
where they can remove themselves from this


00:12:29:07 - 00:12:32:07
tangible world, and go into another place where they can


00:12:32:16 - 00:12:36:15
connect with their heart and 
emotions and really get through things. Right?


00:12:37:19 - 00:12:39:00
But that's not the goal.


00:12:39:00 - 00:12:42:13
The goal is to reduce the symptoms 
that they’re experiencing. Right.


00:12:44:09 - 00:12:48:14
The amount of ketamine that we send 
to people is very minimal.


00:12:49:01 - 00:12:52:01
compared to what Matthew Perry had.


00:12:53:05 - 00:12:56:05
And we also recommend and suggest


00:12:56:07 - 00:12:58:14
that every person on treatment is actually


00:12:58:14 - 00:13:01:21
with somebody in their home, 
either a spouse, a friend, a partner.


00:13:01:21 - 00:13:03:19
Yeah. A caretaker.


00:13:03:19 - 00:13:07:10
And that's the difference,
where we have their number and interact with the caretaker.


00:13:08:04 - 00:13:11:11
So, I believe that Matthew Perry 
was actually in the bath.


00:13:11:18 - 00:13:13:02
Yeah. He was in a hot tub.


00:13:13:02 - 00:13:15:13
And he had, he overdosed


00:13:15:13 - 00:13:16:23
he took too much ketamine.


00:13:18:12 - 00:13:20:08
Went into a


00:13:21:12 - 00:13:22:08
he fell asleep.


00:13:22:16 - 00:13:24:22
Like, like, like, you know, like


00:13:24:22 - 00:13:26:21
an anesthetic.


00:13:27:21 - 00:13:30:00
And then and that's what happened.


00:13:30:19 - 00:13:31:17
So we


00:13:32:17 - 00:13:34:05
try to prevent that with


00:13:34:05 - 00:13:39:09
allowing or suggesting rather, that there needs to be someone in the home with the patient.


00:13:39:23 - 00:13:41:07
And if they are not,


00:13:41:07 - 00:13:44:16
they sign a waiver or disclaimer and someone is on video.


00:13:45:15 - 00:13:48:07
on top of that,
we’re always assessing their blood pressure.


00:13:48:07 - 00:13:51:23
Before and after. So we only discharge them
 when everything is good.


00:13:52:17 - 00:13:55:01
If something’s not good then
 we intervene and interact.


00:13:55:01 - 00:13:57:13
How do you intervene
if something does go wrong?


00:13:57:13 - 00:13:58:20
Something goes wrong,


00:13:58:20 - 00:14:02:10
we have nurses on the phone dealing with either the caretaker or the patient.


00:14:03:05 - 00:14:05:23
And we need to call E.R.


00:14:05:23 - 00:14:08:17
or take them or 911 or,


00:14:08:23 - 00:14:11:03
the companion takes them to the E.R.


00:14:11:03 - 00:14:12:23
and we always stay in touch throughout the process.


00:14:12:23 - 00:14:15:09
Okay. Has that happened? No.


00:14:15:09 - 00:14:18:00
Okay. [laughter]


00:14:18:00 - 00:14:19:06
Thank goodness.


00:14:19:06 - 00:14:20:05
Yeah. Thank goodness.


00:14:20:05 - 00:14:24:21
So we try to prevent that as much as possible
because of the stringent criteria


00:14:24:21 - 00:14:26:19
and our protocols of inclusion.


00:14:27:12 - 00:14:30:12
And the fact that we give the exact learning dose per patient,


00:14:30:12 - 00:14:31:21
and they can’t do more than that.


00:14:31:21 - 00:14:37:08
Yes. And, and there’s only
a minimal amount of medicine with them at once.


00:14:38:09 - 00:14:39:11
That's so good.


00:14:39:11 - 00:14:44:20
And do you are you an innovator
as far as this treatment or are there


00:14:44:20 - 00:14:50:02
other companies doing the same
or most of them done in clinic?


00:14:50:17 - 00:14:53:17
And so like I was stating before,


00:14:54:12 - 00:14:56:08
The clinics they do it.


00:14:56:08 - 00:14:59:18
And that's probably the safest,
the safest rout to do this


00:14:59:18 - 00:15:03:01
because there’s a nurse with them and 
if anything happens they can be there.


00:15:03:01 - 00:15:04:00
Right.


00:15:04:00 - 00:15:09:22
But but that's the accessibility problem, 
the working problem, and the cost.


00:15:10:04 - 00:15:16:03
The at home ones they generally only
 send through the lozenge.


00:15:16:03 - 00:15:17:18
And it’s not monitored.


00:15:19:16 - 00:15:22:05
I'm not sure if any other companies are doing what we’re doing.


00:15:22:05 - 00:15:26:22
As of right now, I think we are the
 only ones offering that support.


00:15:26:22 - 00:15:29:11
And that safety mechanism of


00:15:29:11 - 00:15:32:12
checking that the person is good before treatment,


00:15:32:12 - 00:15:35:19
and is good after treatment before we discharge them.


00:15:36:12 - 00:15:39:11
And if they’re not okay, we stay with them, keep,


00:15:39:11 - 00:15:42:11
keep on the phone with them or the companion, whoever is in the house with them,


00:15:42:16 - 00:15:45:16
and we direct them accordingly
 with obviously a medical professional.


00:15:46:16 - 00:15:47:22
That's wonderful.


00:15:47:22 - 00:15:51:10
I think it's, it's really lovely for them


00:15:51:10 - 00:15:54:12
to have that option to do it
safe and at home.


00:15:54:12 - 00:15:59:22
And I can relate to slightly just during
Covid everything went to telehealth.


00:16:00:07 - 00:16:02:06
Yeah. For therapy.


00:16:02:06 - 00:16:05:17
And all of my clients were resistant


00:16:05:17 - 00:16:08:17
about doing therapy from home.


00:16:08:22 - 00:16:12:03
And then when they realized
how comfortable they were


00:16:12:03 - 00:16:15:04
and they could have their dogs with them,
and they could be in their pajamas


00:16:15:04 - 00:16:18:08
or wherever they needed to be,
that was safe and comfortable for them.


00:16:18:08 - 00:16:20:14
None of them have wanted
to come back to the office,


00:16:20:14 - 00:16:24:03
and none of them
have wanted to drive in traffic.


00:16:24:13 - 00:16:27:15
They can do therapy from anywhere,
and they love it.


00:16:27:19 - 00:16:32:04
So I'm sure that you have a
similar appreciation.


00:16:32:04 - 00:16:33:22
People are loving it, in terms of


00:16:34:15 - 00:16:36:02
People are doing treatments at


00:16:36:02 - 00:16:40:11
seven, eight, nine at night
and as long as we have scheduled


00:16:40:11 - 00:16:43:21
the relevant nurse to be monitoring them through it, 
then it’s all good.


00:16:43:21 - 00:16:45:10
They can have a great night’s sleep


00:16:45:10 - 00:16:47:23
after they’ve been discharged and
 have a great day the next day.


00:16:47:23 - 00:16:51:23
So it’s after work, it’s people that are working,
 people they can’t get to a clinic, or


00:16:51:23 - 00:16:53:23
or get someone else to take them to a clinic,


00:16:53:23 - 00:16:56:23
and wait two hours and take them back.


00:16:57:09 - 00:16:58:13
So we,


00:16:59:07 - 00:17:01:02
patients are experiencing great stuff.


00:17:01:02 - 00:17:05:03
Wow. So you're really just paying it
forward in so many ways.


00:17:05:03 - 00:17:08:12
You experience this. This helped you heal.


00:17:08:19 - 00:17:11:09
I mean, you did it in a non
psychedelic way,


00:17:11:09 - 00:17:14:17
but through all of your treatments,
through all of your therapies,


00:17:14:17 - 00:17:15:21
that's become your goal.


00:17:15:21 - 00:17:19:13
And your mission is to help others
recover.


00:17:19:13 - 00:17:20:21
Like you've recovered.


00:17:20:21 - 00:17:23:18
So give us a picture
of all of the different types


00:17:23:18 - 00:17:28:08
of mental disorders that can be treated
using ketamine therapy?


00:17:28:08 - 00:17:31:06
We talked about anxiety
and we talked about depression.


00:17:31:06 - 00:17:32:06
What else is there?


00:17:32:06 - 00:17:34:22
The main one is actually treatment
resistant depression.


00:17:34:22 - 00:17:38:03
Or major depressive disorder. 
So it’s depression essentially.


00:17:38:18 - 00:17:39:19
And together with that


00:17:39:19 - 00:17:42:19
it helps anxiety, trauma, PTSD.


00:17:42:19 - 00:17:45:21
It also helps with pain. But pain,


00:17:45:23 - 00:17:49:15
 the recommendation is to go to a clinic
because it’s a much higher dose.


00:17:50:02 - 00:17:51:15
and it’s a much longer treatment.


00:17:52:10 - 00:17:53:12
But they’re studying,


00:17:54:09 - 00:18:00:16
they’re studying what ketamine does
 for amazing, amazing things.


00:18:00:16 - 00:18:02:12
They say it’s a miracle drug.


00:18:02:12 - 00:18:05:11
Yes. Studying it for for ADHD.


00:18:05:11 - 00:18:08:11
I was just going to say
I wonder if it's good for that.


00:18:08:11 - 00:18:11:05
For people that are born with mental problems.


00:18:12:14 - 00:18:14:12
And, and it could


00:18:15:12 - 00:18:16:16
it could really benefit the world.


00:18:16:16 - 00:18:19:01
I wonder about OCD. Yes.


00:18:19:01 - 00:18:21:00
They’re studying that for all


00:18:21:00 - 00:18:23:20
everything you can think of. Eating disorders.


00:18:23:20 - 00:18:29:05
It's just that the data’s not there yet 
for us to treat those symptoms.


00:18:29:05 - 00:18:29:18
Right.


00:18:29:18 - 00:18:34:17
Focusing really on depression
and anxiety and trauma with the depression.


00:18:34:17 - 00:18:37:17
Does it have to be treatment
resistant depression


00:18:37:20 - 00:18:42:09
or can it be used in conjunction
with talk therapy?


00:18:43:23 - 00:18:45:07
It can be used.


00:18:45:07 - 00:18:46:04
Definitely.


00:18:47:14 - 00:18:51:15
So talk therapy, 
I’m a huge fan of talk therapy.


00:18:51:18 - 00:18:53:07
Huge huge huge fan,


00:18:53:07 - 00:18:54:22
especially because of my incident.


00:18:54:22 - 00:18:56:15
I had someone to talk with about my journey.


00:18:56:15 - 00:18:57:14
About what happened.


00:18:58:01 - 00:19:01:00
It would have gotten me to that place
 a lot quicker. Right? Yes.


00:19:01:20 - 00:19:05:03
I'm a huge, huge believer
and we will include talk therapy.


00:19:06:00 - 00:19:08:06
Shortly, not now. Great.


00:19:08:06 - 00:19:10:20
Getting through this first phase.


00:19:10:20 - 00:19:12:21
And we will include
 talk therapy with our package.


00:19:14:09 - 00:19:15:18
Talk therapy is great.


00:19:15:18 - 00:19:17:12
It's not required.


00:19:18:12 - 00:19:20:20
The data suggests it's not required.


00:19:20:20 - 00:19:23:01
And there's actually no


00:19:23:01 - 00:19:27:00
it doesn't have to be there in order
for you to decrease symptoms.


00:19:27:00 - 00:19:33:03
because of that blockage of that NMDA receptor like I mentioned previously. Wow.


00:19:34:04 - 00:19:37:03
But you want to offer that.


00:19:37:03 - 00:19:39:13
Well I think it just adds
huge amounts of value.


00:19:39:13 - 00:19:43:15
I mean you go through something
you kind of have an epiphany. Right? Yes.


00:19:43:15 - 00:19:45:19
What do I do. How do I put that into my real life?


00:19:46:11 - 00:19:49:11
So by having talk therapy with a


00:19:49:12 - 00:19:52:19
professional can help
you get there a lot quicker.


00:19:53:04 - 00:19:53:17
Oh yeah.


00:19:53:17 - 00:19:57:16
I can only imagine
if you were to process what you saw,


00:19:57:16 - 00:20:00:22
what you experienced
with a therapist afterward.


00:20:01:11 - 00:20:05:04
I can only imagine the,
the effect would really be lasting.


00:20:05:16 - 00:20:08:20
Do you see any regression with people?


00:20:08:20 - 00:20:12:04
Do they do the ketamine therapy


00:20:12:04 - 00:20:16:15
and then maybe months down
that line or years down the line,


00:20:17:04 - 00:20:20:04
 would revert back to depressive states?


00:20:22:04 - 00:20:23:20
Our goal is actually


00:20:23:20 - 00:20:27:09
to reduce the frequency
and dosage of the patient


00:20:27:09 - 00:20:28:23
for them to actually get off ketamine.


00:20:30:12 - 00:20:33:04
But we have a model where by


00:20:33:04 - 00:20:36:09
when they push pause on the ketamine, 
we’re still with them.


00:20:36:09 - 00:20:39:09
They still have access to our assessments.


00:20:39:21 - 00:20:42:17
And when we notice their scores are declining, 


00:20:42:17 - 00:20:46:08
with depression-anxiety, we recommend for them to 
come back for depression.


00:20:46:08 - 00:20:48:07
Wow. So yes, a lot happens.


00:20:48:07 - 00:20:49:07
Yeah.


00:20:49:07 - 00:20:50:06
Life, life happens.


00:20:50:06 - 00:20:52:04
Things happen. 
Things take us to another place.


00:20:52:04 - 00:20:54:15
We can be so happy.
One hour in the next hour.


00:20:54:15 - 00:20:56:05
we’re so miserable because something happens.


00:20:56:05 - 00:20:58:03
So yes, regression does happen.


00:20:58:03 - 00:20:58:13
Yeah.


00:20:58:13 - 00:21:03:20
We want to, we walk with patients, through their journey, we hold their hands.


00:21:03:20 - 00:21:06:20
We’re with them, even when not 
treating them on ketamine,


00:21:06:21 - 00:21:08:22
We still want to be with them and walk with them.


00:21:08:22 - 00:21:11:12
And when they need us, we are there.


00:21:11:12 - 00:21:14:07
Without giving any details, can you,


00:21:14:07 - 00:21:17:09
give us a picture of your most


00:21:17:09 - 00:21:21:07
remarkable transformation
that you've seen with someone


00:21:21:21 - 00:21:23:10
doing ketamine therapy?


00:21:25:06 - 00:21:26:20
Sure.


00:21:29:16 - 00:21:33:02
Well, there was a young about,
I think, a 21 year old


00:21:34:07 - 00:21:35:00
person.


00:21:35:18 - 00:21:39:09
Who could not get out of bed, was depressed.


00:21:39:17 - 00:21:40:19
Went on ketamine.


00:21:40:19 - 00:21:45:01
Literally two weeks later,
or maybe two to four weeks later,


00:21:45:06 - 00:21:46:15
He had a job.


00:21:46:15 - 00:21:50:03
Wow. He was working and had a purpose.


00:21:50:18 - 00:21:54:13
I think I mentioned
earlier that there was a lady.


00:21:55:07 - 00:21:58:07
She I think she’s about in her 50s.


00:21:59:04 - 00:22:00:23
She couldn’t leave the house.


00:22:01:22 - 00:22:05:10
She was depressed about it, and she was anxious
 about leaving the house.


00:22:05:10 - 00:22:06:19
She couldn’t go watch a movie.


00:22:06:19 - 00:22:08:10
Or go to the theatre.


00:22:08:10 - 00:22:12:00
And she's been on treatment for two,
three months.


00:22:12:08 - 00:22:15:01
She's so happy, and she’s


00:22:15:01 - 00:22:17:23
going out and having dinner with her friends 
and with her spouse,


00:22:17:23 - 00:22:20:23
and going to movies
and going to entertainment.


00:22:21:13 - 00:22:23:17
And she's so happy.


00:22:23:17 - 00:22:24:22
With this treatment.


00:22:24:22 - 00:22:28:23
Wow. And that's why we’re here
that's the reason why we here. You know?


00:22:30:09 - 00:22:34:03
So is there anything down the pike for you


00:22:35:02 - 00:22:37:08
aside from Rewire or


00:22:37:08 - 00:22:41:08
connected with Rewire you out
speaking anywhere?


00:22:41:08 - 00:22:42:11
Do you plan a second book?


00:22:42:11 - 00:22:44:19
What's next for you? [laughter]


00:22:44:19 - 00:22:46:13
A second book,


00:22:47:18 - 00:22:49:14
I would love it all.


00:22:49:14 - 00:22:52:09
I would love to do it all. My mission,


00:22:52:09 - 00:22:56:08
wherever I go, is to uplift another person.


00:22:57:07 - 00:22:59:20
And like I


00:22:59:20 - 00:23:03:20
said, that my commitment
and responsibility for coming to America


00:23:04:03 - 00:23:07:03
is to sit at the table that was presented to me.


00:23:07:13 - 00:23:10:03
So this table is presented to me now, I am here.


00:23:10:03 - 00:23:12:19
If another one appears, I’m going to sit there.


00:23:12:19 - 00:23:17:03
You know. So where I can utilize my energy


00:23:17:06 - 00:23:20:06
and my purpose driven passion,


00:23:20:06 - 00:23:23:13
to help other people, that’s where I’m gonna be.


00:23:24:14 - 00:23:26:08
So tell our listeners


00:23:26:08 - 00:23:27:19
where they can find you.


00:23:29:14 - 00:23:32:07
Where can they find me? [laughter]


00:23:32:07 - 00:23:37:09
Well just my social handles are Bradleydean10

00:23:43:19 - 00:23:46:19
The social handles are RewireMeNow


00:23:47:00 - 00:23:49:06
And that's where you can find me.


00:23:49:06 - 00:23:55:01
The book you can get on Amazon. Be the Bubble by 
Bradley Dean Silberman.


00:23:55:18 - 00:23:59:12
And yeah, if anyone wants to connect
with me, I’m here.


00:23:59:12 - 00:24:03:23

00:24:09:12 - 00:24:10:10
I love it.


00:24:10:10 - 00:24:11:09
I love it.


00:24:11:09 - 00:24:14:09
If you could impart our listeners with one


00:24:15:10 - 00:24:18:02
not necessarily a piece of advice


00:24:18:02 - 00:24:21:12
or just a take away that helps them


00:24:21:12 - 00:24:24:14
achieve the kind of mindset that you have,


00:24:24:20 - 00:24:25:19
what would it be?


00:24:30:19 - 00:24:33:19
I think they need to get to a state


00:24:34:21 - 00:24:37:21
where you love yourself more than anyone else.


00:24:38:00 - 00:24:39:00
And that's not


00:24:41:21 - 00:24:44:01
being egotistical.


00:24:46:07 - 00:24:50:07
It’s loving yourself before anyone else, 
so you can do what you need to do


00:24:50:07 - 00:24:53:00
Because when you have that mindset.


00:24:53:23 - 00:24:56:02
Whatever happens to you, is okay.


00:24:56:02 - 00:24:58:01
Because you love yourself.


00:24:58:01 - 00:25:04:02
You don’t need anyone to, make you feel that you love yourself, or make you feel worthy.


00:25:04:02 - 00:25:06:20
You need to make yourself feel worthy, 
because you are here.


00:25:07:05 - 00:25:09:20
You were born for a mission and a purpose.


00:25:10:00 - 00:25:12:02
And you were born to love yourself.


00:25:12:02 - 00:25:14:14
If you don't love yourself, enough,


00:25:14:14 - 00:25:15:13
You're not gonna


00:25:17:09 - 00:25:19:15
love anyone else like you should or love any


00:25:19:15 - 00:25:22:01
other things llike you should. Right?


00:25:22:01 - 00:25:23:12
I love that take away.


00:25:23:12 - 00:25:25:10
That's very beautiful.


00:25:25:10 - 00:25:27:02
Well thank you so much Brad.
