Positively Impacting the Structure and Function of Our Brain
Neuroplasticity
Our understanding of the brain has changed over the years. We used to think the brain was a static organ and couldn't change, but we now know that it adapts and evolves throughout our lives. This process is called neuroplasticity. Our genes, environment, stress, thoughts, and actions can all affect the structure and function of our brain. This is why trauma, negative thoughts and actions, and stress can lead to mental health problems. In early childhood, when the brain is rapidly developing, adverse childhood events (ACE) can be especially harmful due to the brain's high level of neuroplasticity during this time.
Fortunately, we can positively impact the structure and function of our brain through changes in our environment, thoughts, and actions. Ketamine can also be a valuable tool in this process. Ketamine works by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate and reducing inflammation, which can help restore normal brain function. Ketamine also opens a window of opportunity where our brain is more receptive to change i.e., a higher level of neuroplasticity.
We must not waste this opportunity or engage in negative behaviors that could harm our brain development. Therefore, we ask individuals receiving Ketamine therapy to actively restructure their neural connections in a positive way by engaging in our neuroplasticity program. While simple and effective, these therapies demand significant effort and courage to enact changes in one's life.
