The Connection Between Diet, Nutrition, and Ketamine Therapy Effectiveness

Ketamine therapy has gained attention for treating various mental health conditions. Research suggests that individual nutritional status may play a crucial role in determining treatment outcomes.

The Science Behind Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine works by blocking glutamate receptors, increasing neurotrophic factors like BDNF, promoting neural growth and synaptic plasticity.

  • Vitamin D insufficiency: May influence treatment effectiveness

Dietary Patterns for Better Outcomes

  • Mediterranean-style diet for mood regulation
  • Omega-3 rich foods (fish, nuts, seeds)
