About this listen

What if everything you’ve been told about mental health… is wrong?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Katie Walker, ICU nurse turned CEO of Revitalist, one of America’s leading ketamine clinic networks, to talk about what’s really going on in the mental health world.

Katie has worked on the front lines of trauma and psychiatric care for decades. What she saw pushed her to challenge everything, from overprescribed antidepressants to outdated models of "managing" mental illness.

🔍 We cover:

  • Why psychiatry is failing millions of people
  • How ketamine therapy works (and what it does to your brain)
  • The difference between control vs. empowerment in healing
  • What true trauma healing actually looks like
  • Her visits to Richard Branson’s island & global mental health summits
  • Why our brains don’t need “fixing”, they need realignment
  • The broken insurance system and why innovation gets blocked

This episode is for anyone who:

  • Feels stuck in traditional mental health care
  • Wants real healing, not symptom suppression
  • Is curious about psychedelics, ketamine, and alternative approaches
  • Feels like the system isn’t working, and wants to know what’s next

🎧 Listen if you're tired of being told to “just take the meds.”
