Latest craze among wealthy Hamptons types is ‘therapeutic ketamine’
Forget Ozempic, Hamptons elites are now on the next hot drug: horse tranquilizer.
According to a new article in Avenue magazine, “Mind-Altering Substances are the Chic New Trend in the Hamptons,” the rich are now doing doctor-assisted ketamine, once known in the clubs as Special K, which can be used for mental health purposes.
Dr. Lea Lis, who runs Hampton Insight for Psychedelic Therapy in Southampton, “offers comprehensive assessments and guided spiritual journeys, in addition to professional psychotherapy,” says the magazine.
Lis claims the treatment — lasting six sessions in a soundproof room — relieves trauma.
The doc also says the process allows patients to “drop your ego” and “rewires the brain to believe that anything is possible.”
Therapeutic ketamine can help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders, reports the Washington Post.
It is not FDA approved.
Dr. Lis tells Page Six patients need a diagnoses for treatment and can’t just do the therapy, which costs $800 a session, “for fun.”
Other New Age therapies that are hot out East this summer are more run-of-the-mill — ranging from “sage-smudging,” meditation and THC gummies to micro-doses of mushrooms, in addition to tarot cards and astrology.
Casa Wellness has been offering Electronic Muscle Stimulation therapy to clients all over the Hamptons and at pop-ups at Hero Beach Club in Montauk, where the wellness program has been curated by Dria Murphy.
For $200, a 20-minute workout wearing one of their pulsing suits is said to give users the equivalent of a two-hour workout.
You may have seen that Kendall and Kylie Jenner recently tried out an EMS workout on “The Kardashians.”
