Most people prepare for ketamine the wrong way.

They focus on logistics, and miss the part that actually creates change.

Ketamine opens a neuroplastic window, but without direction, that window closes without taking you anywhere new.

KPP is the framework for preparing your subconscious mind so that change is inevitable.

For the first time in 2026, I'm running it live.

Ever heard of a two-hour ketamine infusion—personally titrated in real-time by a board-certified anesthesiologist? Yeah, neither had I. Until now.

In this episode of Ketamine Connections, I sit down with Dr. Austin Harris, founder of NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy in Sherman Oaks, CA. With 17+ years of experience in anesthesiology and a revolutionary, heart-centered approach to ketamine, Dr. Harris is redefining what’s possible in psychedelic care.

 About Dr. Austin Harris
Dr. Harris is a board-certified cardiothoracic anesthesiologist with a background in psychology. After completing his fellowship at Keck Hospital of USC, he founded NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy, now serving clients worldwide. His work is deeply human and radically different—offering real-time titration during ketamine infusions, 7-day access to care, and a full integration strategy that prioritizes mindfulness, customized protocols, and conscious aftercare. In this episode, we explore:

  • Why ketamine is not enough—and what actually makes change stick
  • How ego disillusionment (not ego death!) is a safe, precise process
  • The truth about neuroplasticity—and how to work with it, not waste it
  • Why shorter ketamine infusions often miss the mark
  • Dr. Harris’s sponsor-sponsee model that treats patients as equals
  • Real talk about healing, modern anxiety, the subconscious mind, and how to rewire your emotional patterns

This is a jam-packed, paradigm-shifting episode that weaves neuroscience, mindfulness, and humanity into a powerful framework for change. Special thanks to Dr. Harris for sharing his personal and professional insights—and for inviting me to experience this protocol firsthand. (More on that in a future episode!)
