  • Ketamine Therapy: All You Need to Know - feat. Eric Stoneberg and Anisa Stechert
    EPISODE SPONSOR: Tenmile Distillery: Use code "THEINTERVIEW" for 10% off all ordersI’m briefly pausing my “Summer Travel Series” to explore a topic that’s gaining national attention: ketamine and ketamine therapy.You may have heard ketamine mentioned in the news—whether in connection with the death of Friends actor Matthew Perry, or Elon Musk publicly endorsing it. But beyond the headlines, there’s an emerging body of evidence showing that, when used therapeutically, ketamine can be life-changing for those struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, or alcohol use disorder.On a more personal note, I’ve had several friends undergo ketamine therapy with remarkable results. Their experiences sparked my curiosity and led me to explore this cutting-edge treatment in greater depth.That curiosity brought me to Nushama, a licensed ketamine therapy clinic in midtown Manhattan, where I sat down with two seasoned psychedelic psychotherapists: Eric Stoneberg and Anisa Stechert.Between them, they’ve treated thousands of patients—ranging from 9/11 first responders and veterans to teenagers battling eating disorders and adults living with anxiety.In this episode, we cover it all: what ketamine is, which conditions it treats (including some powerful patient stories), how it rewires trauma in the brain, who qualifies as a candidate, and what a typical experience looks like at a clinic like Nushama.Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, I invite you to listen with an open mind. This conversation sheds light on a promising new tool in the mental health toolbox—one that could transform the way we approach healing.Stream the episode now wherever you get your podcasts—and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a conversation.

Nick and I cover everything from walks, beaches, restaurants, places for cocktails, and all of the fantastic activities you can only do in Newport - from visiting Gilded Age Mansions to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, to coffee on mansion lawns on Sundays, to kayaking in the harbor to hear the Newport Folk Festival. Nick and I spent so much time discussing his impressive career before we got to our talk about Newport that I have decided to release that part of the conversation—about Nick’s work and career—later this summer.  But in the meantime, here is Nick sharing all of his insider tips on one of the all-time greatest summer towns - Newport!

Naturally, we also dive into her favorite local spots—from antique stores and farmers markets to swimming holes and must-visit restaurants. As a former Hudson Valley resident myself, it was such a joy to compare notes and swap recommendations on the spots that make the region so special. We also highlight a few standouts in nearby Litchfield County and the Berkshires. Whether you’re planning a trip or just love dreaming about charming getaways, this one’s for you.
