Today's episode features Tom Kelly, an anesthetist who came to  @BairKnuckleStrength  after breaking his hip, and was unceremoniously 'retired' after his accident.

He needed to get stronger, improve his balance again and wanted a place that could work with his unique situation.

He found it at Bair Knuckle Strength.

As he's gotten stronger it led him on another journey where a colleague asked him to start administering anesthesia at a Ketamine Clinic for people with medication resistant depression.

Tom says he's been in college since 1968, almost, and is always working to level up his ability to understand how these life saving psychedelic therapies can best be utilized in practice.

He's seen people come in having been depressed for over 40 years, only to have their lives change in one session with him.

He'll ask them "Did you go somewhere?"

And they''ll say "Yes, I don't where, but I went ... "

This one is wild, and you don't want to miss it.
