In this powerful episode of Ketamine Connections, we explore the deeply personal story of Kevin VanHeesch, who has lived with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) for nearly a decade. Kevin shares his experience navigating a labyrinth of treatments — including spinal cord stimulation and ketamine infusions — and how he ultimately found relief and transformation through psychedelic therapy.

Joining us in spirit is Kristen Johnson, founder of Ketamine Pain Center, the clinic that helped guide Kevin toward healing. Kristen has over 30 years of healthcare experience and founded Mountain View Clinical Research before opening one of Colorado’s most trusted ketamine clinics focused on neuropathic pain.

🎧 In this episode, we explore:

  • Kevin’s raw and inspiring story of resilience with CRPS
  • The emotional, spiritual, and physical impacts of ketamine therapy
  • How the right clinic, care team, and mindset make a world of difference

If you or someone you love is dealing with chronic pain, this episode offers hope, realness, and resources.
