Episode 49 l How to Become Unrecognizable: Healing High-Functioning Anxiety & Rethinking “Bad Trips” with Ketamine
In this episode of Ketamine Connections, Anna sits down with Melanie Yost, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Brain Health Coach, and co-owner of Complete Ketamine Solutions in Destin, FL, to explore what real transformation looks like—and why it might leave you literally unrecognizable.
Together, they dive into:
- Why Melanie says “you won’t recognize yourself” after ketamine (and why Anna’s Face ID agreed)
- How ketamine helped Melanie’s best friend survive the unthinkable loss of her son
- What happens when you bring compassion and kindness into the clinical setting—and why it shouldn’t be radical
- The real cost of high-functioning anxiety and how ketamine can finally offer relief
- Why their clinic sometimes interrupts a “bad trip”—and why that might be the kindest option
- Why IV ketamine is their method of choice (and the difference it makes)
- The importance of preparation and how skipping it could set you back
Whether you’re preparing for your first ketamine journey or guiding others through theirs, this episode will leave you feeling clearer, braver, and way more seen.
