On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down for a third-eye opening conversation with ketamine therapist Dr Steven Radowitz of Nushama Wellness, about the many physical and mental health benefits he has seen his work provide to his patients, what kind of music is best for the journey (not “Like A Prayer”), and what kind of set & setting is best for the experience (not Shrek).
