And I’m focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of the subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show. Betsy:Welcome to the art of Living Big. I’m really excited today because I have a really special guest. And I know, you know, every time we come to the show and I have a guest, I’m always excited. But this one for a few different reasons. And I really hope that as you’re listening today, it can help you or perhaps somebody that you know. So maybe it can be a show that you share that really helps someone. So today I’m really honored to have Doctor Rothstein with me. He is the co owner and medical director at the Atlanta Ketamine center. Betsy:You may have heard me talk about the Ketamine center briefly a few episodes ago.

So I have a rescue dog myself. So welcome to the show. Dr. Rothstein:Thank you very much. And as I mentioned, what a cool podcast. And I really appreciate you having me on.

Come to Atlanta. It’s an area where there’s tons of hotels and places you could go and stay, and I will bring you out to lunch. So, okay. So tell me a little bit about the Atlanta Ketamine center and what ketamine is, what this is. Dr. Rothstein:Thank you very much for the nice words. That really means a lot.
