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.
Two Ways to Get Support
Work One-on-One
Meet with one of our nutritionists with specialized training in nutrition for psychedelic-assisted mental health care.
Together, we'll create a personalized plan that fits your treatment schedule, eating habits, symptoms, and goals.
What we’ll work on together:
Before Treatment
We'll assess your nutrition, address nutrient gaps, and support stable blood sugar and hydration to help prepare your brain and body.
Medicine Days
A personalized plan for before and after each session, including easy meals, nausea and appetite support, and simple grocery prep that fits your energy.
Recovery & Integration
As treatment continues, we'll build sustainable habits that support neuroplasticity and nervous system regulation, so nutrition becomes a lasting part of your healing.

Meet the Nutritionists Behind Your Care
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.
