Michelle Visage reveals her husband has been undergoing ‘ketamine therapy’ to treat PTSD

Radio 2 presenter Michelle Visage has revealed that her husband and daughter are undergoing ‘ketamine therapy’, using the horse tranquilizer that has been a popular illegal drug in the British rave scene for years.

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Visage, 54, who has two daughters with author David Case, said: ‘My husband and my daughter have just completed ketamine therapy.’

Speaking to actress Kathy Burke on the Where There A Will There’s A Wake podcast, the American star of RuPaul’s Drag Race explains the treatment, which can be used to treat severe depression:

“It’s popping up on every pharmacy corner in Los Angeles.”

Although Visage insists that recreational drugs have “never been good” and that she has “never done drugs in my life,” she describes the treatment her family received in the US as “a game changer,” adding, “It is good. .’

Earlier this year, Visage revealed she lost 20kg in a year thanks to following a strict The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet and lifting weights, after struggling with perimenopause.

On her BBC Sounds Podcast Rule Breakers, she announced she had shifted more than three stone in weight, before taking to Instagram to celebrate her ‘health anniversary’, insisting: ‘I never wanted to be skinny, I wanted muscles!’

According to Healthline, “The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet is an elimination diet designed to help reduce inflammation or other symptoms caused by autoimmune diseases.”

The star has Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is gradually destroyed.

She explained: ‘Menopause was a big wake-up call for me. It shook me. I don’t new anything. I went in not knowing anything. It was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.

‘It’s by far the worst thing I’ve experienced. I’m not a weak person and I thought, ‘I’ll give up quickly if I don’t get help.’

‘When I had my breast plants taken out last year, I had to take them out. Perimenopause, breast plant disease, all at once.

‘I’m so proud of my change. I did it with a commitment to heavy weightlifting – because I’m a woman of a certain age who will really fend off the doctors, because resistance training is key.

‘People think it’s cardio and running – no! It ends up in that gym. It doesn’t matter what people think about you. I do it with YouTube and I also do it at home with weights,” before reminding people, “It’s all free online!”
