Episode notes
Bypass Oral Route For Ketamine
- Ketamine is useful in non-oral forms (nasal, sublingual, topical) because oral ketamine is highly metabolized.
- Bypassing first-pass metabolism preserves therapeutic effects for pain and neuro indications.
Oxytocin Delivery Matters
- Oxytocin can be administered nasally for fast brain effects or sublingually for longer maintenance dosing.
- No commercial oxytocin exists, so compounding pharmacies supply individualized preparations.
Prefer Bioidentical, Customized Hormones
- Use bioidentical hormones compounded to match human hormone profiles rather than synthetic patented products.
- Customize doses and combinations and monitor labs and symptoms, because levels and needs change with stress and age.
