Episode 48 | The Hours Before Ketamine: What to Do & What to Avoid Before Your Journey


Listen Later

Most people prepare for ketamine the wrong way.

They focus on logistics, and miss the part that actually creates change.

Ketamine opens a neuroplastic window, but without direction, that window closes without taking you anywhere new.

KPP is the framework for preparing your subconscious mind so that change is inevitable.

For the first time in 2026, I'm running it live.

In this episode, Anna breaks down why your pre-journey environment, mindset, and nervous system state matter just as much as the medicine itself.

Whether it’s your first ketamine session or your fifteenth, this episode covers exactly what to avoid, what to do, and how to set yourself up for a powerful, grounded experience.

Plus, Anna shares lessons from the 2025 MAPS Psychedelic Science Conference and how prep is finally getting the spotlight it deserves.

šŸ” In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why the hours before ketamine impact the depth of your journey
  • What your subconscious mind is doing before you even take the medicine
  • 3 things to absolutely avoid the day of your session (hint: it includes your phone)
  • 3 ways to support yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally before ketamine
  • Why hypnosis, movement, and intention setting can make all the difference
