 How are you doing today? I'm your host Rich. Here we have Rich TV Live with our very special guest. It is Katie Walker, the CEO of Revitalist with the symbol calm, a brand new IPO. How are you doing today Katie? I'm doing well. Thank you. Thank you for joining us. Very excited to have you on the show and congratulations on the new IPO. Thank you. Appreciate it. My pleasure. So let's get right into it and talk a little bit about Revitalist, which is a wellness center specializing in ketamine assisted therapy along with psychotherapy. Ketamine assisted therapy has the potential to treat many mental health disorders. Can you tell us more about this and your company? Sure. Absolutely. So this company is led by medical experts anesthesia providers like myself and then also expert therapists to where we are the first of its kind to implement kind of the integration in the mental health field and the medical field. So we are an extremely effective model, greater than 85% success to where we are able to help people with chronic mood, chronic pain conditions. We all know those people with the mood aspects. We have several people out there with suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, even the suicidality piece, and then also those that are just in the pain epidemic right now. So we're able to address a lot of these really complex conditions with providers that have 10, 20 years of experience and we're all coming together to be not only the best model out there but also the most cost effective. So we're able to bring a lot of experience to the surface. We're able to help to really take care of the patient on a comprehensive level. And then not only that, we're able to be, you know, you can actually invest money in this company and it goes to so much more than what other companies would actually be going to just because, you know, as the CEO, I'm also a medical provider. And then that's what we're kind of doing with this business is we're leading it with medical and then also business model people to where we can be the most effective model and cost efficient model out there. That sounds great. And our community here at Rich TV Live, we love IPOs because they're new opportunities and we love companies that are undervalued, underappreciated, underexposed. Typically, an IPO is undervalued, underappreciated, underexposed because it's brand new. What made you want to fuel your decision to go and do an IPO right now and go public? So in the outpatient community, what I have learned, I've been in medicine for about 20 years now doing a lot of critical care medicine and also anesthesia. What we have learned since opening this clinic back in 2018 is that there really isn't a standard of care out there at all. So what we want to do is we want to become that standard of care, that gold standard, the accreditation board to where we can really implement this. And we want to be in every community out there to where when you see a revitalist, you know what we stand for. You know, the transparency that we have, you understand the consistency, the quality that we have to where when you are having trouble with mood or pain, you come here and then you recognize that you will be treated to a high level of care. And then you're able to do that in any cities, not only across the nation, but then all across the United States, but then also, you know, in the Canadian, in Canada and United Kingdom and in Australia as well. Wow. So a lot of markets. That's exciting. Where would you say revitalists fits in within the market? And what does it mean for the future of the wellness industry? I think this is the most exciting part about revitalists with the wellness industry is, you know, you're taking traditional medical providers, going with also the mental health providers. This is something that has been yelled out for 20 years that they have wanted to do. So we are the first of its kind after this 20 year yelling out, you know, help us, help us. Now we can see we're in a mental health crisis. We're in a, you know, the opioid crisis and then also just general wellness, you know, the vitamin deficiencies and such. We're really, really struggling with not only our physical health, but also our mental health. And that's out there for everyone. So what we're able to do is we're coming, you know, we're coming big and we're coming really, really strong with these providers to not only are we going to change mental health, but then we'll also change the physical health aspect. So everything that we're able to do is inside of these clinics. We're not contributing to anything outside of the clinics. And then that way we know, you know, that we are not contributing to anything negative per se. And we're able to be this overall comprehensive care clinic to, you know, we're led by experts. We are aware of that kind of thing to where if you bring in anything to us, we can really understand it. And that's really a neat piece that just doesn't exist right now in the outpatient communities. Yeah, I agree. Mental health and mental wellness is a major issue and it's getting worse. So having solutions like what you guys are providing is going to make it a lot better for people that are struggling. And there's people all over the world that are struggling with this problem. And I remember years ago, it was a small portion of the market because I used to work in the charities industry and mental health was a small portion of the market. But now almost everybody can resonate with mental health. Almost everybody anywhere in the world can resonate and understand the importance of mental health. So it's really come a long way. And I appreciate the work you guys are doing. Now, what can patients expect that are seeking services, but have limited financial means? Is this going to be a very expensive process? So we actually have our own insurance, the billing group to where they can file insurances with that. We're being very proactive with the cost structure there as well because, you know, as we all know, medicine is not it's not cheap by any means. So anything and everything that we do has everyone's best interest at heart. That includes not only our clients, but everybody who's invested in this vision, you know, all the investors with the with the stocks and things like that. Everything that we do is to make a difference with all of this stuff. And we do recognize there's a lot of wasted funds that go to other things that just don't come to fruition. Knowing that we have this cost effective model. And people are able to actually put their funds into something that they believe in and trying to help the mental health and trying to help with the pain conditions. We're able to help clients not only with the insurance aspects, but we're also associated with a non a nonprofit called Community Change. That is going to be a nationwide thing in the United States to where it's going to be able to delineate funds to those that are needing it the most. And that's really an exciting thing as well too. Can you tell us a little bit more about your clinic in Knoxville and your expansion strategy? Sure. So clinic in Knoxville has been open since 2018. Since that time we have given over 6000 infusions and we're growing by the minute kind of thing. With the expansion strategy where we are going is going to be where we are needed the most initially. So right now we actually do have a veteran contract in the United States to where we can go we can transfer this contract across the states with us. So we are do we do take care of our veterans that way through the Veterans Administration. We also have an athletic division to where we are going to cities that have a strong university presence. Right now there's a there's a big crisis with our athletes that's very unfortunate but we are we are addressing that. We have our own athletic board as well. So all the cities that we go to that when we go there we are going to not only partner with the universities and the VA we're also going to partner with the hospitals there. If you know about the hospital systems they just do crisis stabilization to where they will you know keep you for two to three days sometimes and that's it. So what we want to do is to partner with the hospitals we have partnered with a lot of hospitals to where not only do we do they call us and say hey I've got somebody who's coming here you know or who needs to leave here I want to discharge them to your care. So we just really have many pots to choose from for clients to come to these clinics because like I said we don't exist yet on a nationwide level and that's the most exciting thing. So like I mentioned you know my anesthesia background and then also we have the therapist not only that but we also have an athletic board. We have neurosurgeons involved because we're going to focus with the traumatic brain injuries with athletes. We also have the veterans and then we also have frontline workers. So with the frontline workers you know that's your police officers your teachers your therapists everybody who's really with COVID especially they have really taken a hit with their mental health. So what we want to do is advocate for them. So that's that's really the point of this company is to be a very a business that advocates for it for everyone that's associated with it and and we want to bring that sense of community back because we have lost it in medicine and that's how we really want to step up to the plate is to you know bring that back make people feel heard make people feel validated in their feelings and then you know with that understanding that on the on a business level with their clients and our patients that's what we also want to see with their investors when you invest in this you know what we need right now is we need someone stepping up to the plate in order to break what's going on because if no one does then it's going to continue to cycle. So that's what we have with you know and we have psychiatrist anesthesiologist the surgeons like I mentioned neurologists we have so many good people with their advisory boards that are just ready to to to go and we have the business model there and it's going to grow like a tidal wave we're so excited over it. I like that I like that I was I was thinking about the symbol calm and now that I'm learning more about your company I see it's a perfect symbol because you're trying to calm people down make them feel relaxed make them feel comfortable in a world where there's a lot of reason to not be calm there's a lot of reason to be uncomfortable so I think it's a really good idea that's a very good symbol and I think it's it makes a lot of sense and I think there's a huge market for this and there's a need for this now speaking on that spravado is the first prescription nasal spray taken with an oral anti-depressant how does revitalist plan on using this product. So spravado we've been associated with them for a few years they're actually FDA approved um Johnson and Johnson is actually the creator of that so what we're trying to work with them on as well is um you know not everyone likes to do medicines medicines and different routes of uh you know revitalists the ketamine that we do is IV um a lot of the psychedelics that are becoming to the surface they're going to be different routes of care as well uh with spravado it's a nasal spray and and what what we did with that is we have really worked a lot with with Janssen that's owned by you know Johnson Johnson owns Janssen but we have worked with them a lot to really to help bring awareness to their product um a lot of clients actually do very very well with their product and that's really what we want to help them with is to try to um you know in a in a sense to be more detailed as to who they give it to or how how people um tolerate it because it's still a very new product and if you look at it in the psychedelic world um the spravado is the first FDA approved psychedelic to a source because it's it's acting in a very similar mechanism um as the psilocybin and in the MDMA so that's that's kind of an exciting thing is with ketamine and spravado with the ever growing psychedelic market that that's out there we're already doing that um which is really really exciting so you know with MDMA with psilocybin we're super excited for that as well we actually have our therapists that have been trained in the maps program for expanded access so that's something that we're converting into and we're preparing to be those providers that not only take like I said expert care of all these clients but those providers that also allow the investors or whomever has the products to where they can feel safe actually having those products being delineated at the clinics here knowing that everyone's going to be taken care of because of the expert training that we do have that's fantastic now how do you plan on making ketamine assisted therapy a part of daily practice in future clinics can you speak a bit more about your plans for advancing sure yeah absolutely so um the plans for advancing with the ketamine assisted psychotherapy is we are actually working on our own proprietary therapy to where right now a lot of people do ketamine assisted psychotherapy in very different ways to where what we think we have figured out is really the best way out there so we are able to actually bring clients in and what we what we have done is we've increased our chances of success like 10 to 15 percent by implementing this with the ketamine so we're working on actually having that to be kind of a proprietary therapy that's given within our clinics just because we are we are aware of the quality that we have and we wanted to maintain that quality aspect to where we can go across across the lines there with that but a lot of the ketamine clinics out there right now there are a ton a lot of them do not implement the therapy aspect and that's really we I actually did not do that for about six months when we first opened but since that that six months after we open seeing the difference that it makes is astronomical and what you can do too is you can break the pattern of what people are going through much more quickly to where long term they don't have to feel like they're barely hanging on to life they actually start thriving in life instead of surviving it that's great now recently there was an article about your focus on athletes who have suffered a serious injury or a traumatic brain injury which a lot of people are talking about nowadays concussions how do you plan to help people in this profession so that's actually kind of exciting too so I played collegiate sports myself when I was growing up so I understand the mindset of an athlete a little bit as we all know athletes are natural leaders or they're not natural they've been they've been trained to be leaders growing up so what we want to do is we want to help the underserved populations that are not being heard so you know athletes people never talk to them I had never had anyone talk to me about my mental health with with being an athlete and what we see right now is in a lot of the professional sports you know there's a lot of addiction issues there's a lot of mental health issues we see acute suicides acute you know homicides even to where with the athletes what we want to do is we really want to step up not only help you know the collegiate athletes but we also want to help the professional athletes and the retired athletes so with retired athletes you know they've proven with concussions over time that that can lead to something called CTE which you know it's it's basically swelling of your brain and it leads to you know a lot of dementia and things like that and people are extremely fearful of this the neat thing with ketamine is it's treating the symptoms associated with it so you're able they're able to come here you know they're able to come here treat those symptoms because like I have a huge neurologic background I've been involved in several um neurosurgery I've worked in a neuro ICU to where we understand not only the behavioral piece but the functionality piece and we can differentiate that I think that's a big thing right now is in the brain we see the brain as one we don't see the brain as the brain deals with function it also deals with behavior so not only are we bringing this to the surface to implement the mental and the medical but we're also helping to differentiate neurology versus psychiatry because both of those kind of get intertwined sometimes and when we see that with a lot of our clients so advocacy does not exist to the role that we want it to in the outpatient world and that's what we want to do for these people is to be advocates so athletes if they're struggling they can come to one of these clinics they can expect to be heard because we understand the mindset of an athlete what does the future look like for revitalists in the next few years so future wise we're super excited because actually you know we're looking to you know hopefully in the next three years our minimal goal is to build 120 clinics wow but with a goal that you know hopefully we could be around 300 clinics because right now we have oh we have like 30 people waiting and when I say 30 people I'm talking about the expert trained anesthesia providers that are ready to go and those and not only are they ready to go but the therapists are already ready to go so you know this is the model that everyone's thriving for fortunately I've been doing it for the last five years so I'm about I feel like I'm a little ahead of the curve so that's the exciting thing is you know what we can do is once we once we get going we're not going to stop kind of thing and then you know just impact is the biggest thing that we want is to impact these communities. Katie this has been a great interview we're going to have investors from all over the world watching this interview we pretty much have about a hundred countries that will be learning about calm today symbol is CALM on the Canadian securities exchange what is the best way for investors to get in contact with you once they see this interview? Sure yeah the best way would actually be to email me at info at revitalist.com that'll be a direct line to me to where if people have questions that's what I'm here for I'm all about communication like I said we're bringing the communities we're advocating and that's what we want is to be transparent and then we also want to communicate effectively to where everyone feels validated and that includes all their investors because we couldn't do this without our investors.
