Why Add Nutrition Support to Ketamine/SPRAVATO®?
Your brain and body are doing a lot of work during this process. Ketamine and SPRAVATO® treatment supports neuroplasticity, your brain's ability to form new connections and pathways. Nourishing your body well may help create the right conditions for that process to unfold. The right foods and habits may help support:
Brain-supportive nourishment with foods that may help your body do the work of building new neural connections
Steady energy so you feel more resourced on treatment days
A body that's ready with simple choices that may help you feel more comfortable before and after sessions
Hydration & balance through small habits that add up to feeling more grounded
Gentle digestion because feeling good in your body helps you feel good in your mind, too
Everyday nourishment that supports your overall well-being, not just treatment days
We're here to keep things simple, supportive, and centered on how you feel, never on rules or restriction.
We make nutrition care accessible.
Whether you prefer to use your insurance or join our monthly membership, we'll help you find the option that works best for you.
Using Your Insurance
We're in-network with many major insurance plans, and many clients pay little to nothing out of pocket for nutrition counseling.
Not sure what your plan covers? We've created a simple guide to help you understand your nutrition benefits before getting started.
Most clients use their insurance benefits to support nutrition care before, during, and after ketamine or SPRAVATO® treatment.
Use Your Insurance Benefits for Nutrition Support
Even if your insurance doesn't cover ketamine or SPRAVATO® medications, it may cover nutrition support.
Although it is common to receive ketamine or SPRAVATO® treatments more than once per week, insurance benefits may limit coverage to only one nutrition visit per week.
Nutrition Hive Membership
For clients who aren’t using insurance, or prefer a simple monthly membership, we've created an option that provides consistent support with predictable pricing.
$360 / month
Includes:
One, 55-minute nutrition assessment
Eleven, 25-minute follow ups
When you commit to an initial 3-month ketamine/SPRAVATO® nutrition membership, we'll include your 55-minute nutrition assessment (a $200 value) at no additional cost.
After three months, your membership simply continues month-to-month, cancel whenever you're ready.
Regardless of whether you use insurance or choose our ketamine/SPRAVATO nutrition support membership, we’ll schedule services to match your needs. We generally recommend:
Two to four nutrition sessions before starting treatment
One nutrition session within 1–3 days after each ketamine or SPRAVATO® treatment
Ongoing, weekly follow-up for several weeks after your treatment series
Meet the Nutritionists Trained to support ketamine/SPRAVATO®:
Tessa O'Toole and Josie Kharitonenkov have advanced training in nutrition for psychedelic-assisted mental health care, giving them a deep understanding of how ketamine and Spravato treatment affects your body, and how nutrition can support you through it. They know the questions you're asking, the symptoms you might be navigating, and what it takes to feel steady on treatment days and beyond.
They also created and host the Nutrition & Ketamine Mini Course, and they bring that same specialized training to their 1:1 work with clients.
When you work with Tessa or Josie, you get more than general nutrition advice. You get guidance from specialists who understand your treatment, your schedule, and your goals.
