What Happened to Nue Life
Nue Life was a premium, coaching-heavy at-home ketamine program. It is no longer operating. After financial difficulty in early 2023, Nue Life was acquired by the psychedelic venture studio Beckley Waves, and its consumer program has since wound down; its website is offline as of 2026. Nue Life was one of several well-funded ketamine startups that closed over 2023, alongside Ketamine Wellness Centers and Field Trip.
- Nue Life is no longer accepting or treating patients
- Financial trouble in early 2023, then acquired by Beckley Waves later that year
- The consumer at-home ketamine program has wound down; the site is offline
- Part of a broader 2023 shakeout among venture-funded ketamine startups
If You Were a Nue Life Patient
If your provider was Nue Life, the most important thing to know is that your prescription and treatment history do not transfer automatically to a new program. Any reputable provider will run a fresh medical evaluation and start you at a standard dose rather than matching your previous one. Bring whatever records you have (dosing, response, side effects) to your next intake so your new physician has the full picture.
- Prescriptions do not transfer; expect a fresh evaluation
- A new provider starts at a standard dose, then titrates to your response
- Gather your dosing history, response notes, and any side effects to share
- Continuity is about having a consistent clinician, not matching an exact prior dose
How Discreet Ketamine Compares
Where Nue Life leaned on a coaching model, Discreet Ketamine is physician-led. Dr. Ben Soffer, DO, a board-certified physician, personally evaluates, prescribes, and manages every patient from start to finish, so you see the same doctor at intake and at every follow-up. Discreet Ketamine serves Florida and New Jersey, with transparent pricing and medication billed separately by a licensed compounding pharmacy.
- A single board-certified physician on every chart, not a coach rotation
- Continuity of care: the same prescriber start to finish
- Transparent pricing: program fee from $250/month, medication billed separately (~$5/tablet)
- Florida and New Jersey only, with deep single-physician continuity
