At Balance Ketamine (a company of Aayu Clinics), we treat each patient as we would want our family members to be treated. Our guiding principle is to “do for the patient what you would do for your mother.” This ethos shapes our actions and approach to patient care.
We recognize the limitations of a “one size fits all” approach in evidence-based medicine. Before applying clinical study findings, we assess whether the patient is similar to the study population. For example, what works for a Scandinavian male may not be suitable for a Latino female from the Southwestern United States.
Balance Ketamine was founded to integrate the ancient art of medicine with modern treatments. Our mission is to heal and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
We recruit individuals who possess both expertise and innate empathy. We treat each patient with respect, recognizing that they know their bodies best.
Our practice focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of medical issues, rather than merely addressing symptoms. This approach ensures comprehensive and lasting healing.

Our longevity program aims to improve patients’ health beyond average levels. For instance, we strive to achieve cholesterol levels reminiscent of a younger age.
We provide personalized care, resonating with each patient’s inner core to determine the best treatment for them. We respect the individuality of each person and their understanding of their own health.
We believe in the interconnectedness of the mind and body, particularly the brain and gastrointestinal system. Our treatments range from naturopathic to prescription options, emphasizing the importance of mental and physical health.
We aim to inspire patients to improve their health and physical condition, potentially achieving a “true age” younger than their chronological age.

Ketamine is an anesthetic medication that blocks the NMDA receptor that has also been used as a recreational drug due to its dissociative properties. It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines because of its safety and efficacy for anesthesia. More recently, ketamine has been discovered as a safe and effective treatment for depression, and randomized controlled trials have shown rapid improvement in mood as well as reduction in suicidality compared to people who receive a placebo or another drug.
Adults age 18 and over who suffer from severe depression and have not had success with traditional treatments for depression are eligible for ketamine treatment. Our comprehensive evaluation will include a medical history and basic lab results to ensure ketamine therapy is safe for you.
Several randomized controlled trials demonstrate that ketamine has made a significant improvement in depressive symptoms and suicidality over the course of the first 2 weeks. In fact, if ketamine does not work for you after 2 sessions, the data suggest it is unlikely to work at all. Several studies have looked at how long the effects of Ketamine last. This graph shows just one such study’s results.
For depression, the doses of ketamine used are much lower than the dose for anesthesia, making it relatively safe. That said, ketamine does carry the risk of changing your blood pressure and heart rate, which we will monitor throughout the ketamine infusion therapy. Longer term risks include urinary symptoms, cognitive impairment (with prolonged use), and substance use disorders. We will monitor for these symptoms throughout the treatment.
When considering ketamine treatment, patients want to know how much ketamine depression treatments cost. Ketamine therapy can be very effective in relieving the symptoms of treatment-resistant depression.
