Episode Summary:

In this episode of The Ketamine Coaching Academy Podcast, host Bronwyn Davis welcomes therapist Michelle Brewer for an intimate conversation about healing disordered eating through ketamine-assisted therapy. Michelle shares her journey from traditional psychology to integrating psychedelic tools, explaining how ketamine helps release rigid self-beliefs and reconnect individuals to their bodies through intuitive eating.

She discusses the connection between emotional eating, early trauma, and mother–daughter relationships, emphasizing that overeating is often a coping mechanism for unhealed pain rather than a lack of willpower. By combining mindfulness, group meals, and low-dose ketamine sessions, Michelle helps clients experience compassion, awareness, and deep transformation.

The discussion also touches on Rebus theory (relaxed beliefs under psychedelics), the power of community healing, and the importance of self-trust in recovery. Ultimately, Michelle’s work reveals that healing one’s relationship with food is not about control — it’s about reconnecting to one’s authenticity, compassion, and inner wisdom.

Summary:

In this episode, host Bronwyn Davis talks with Mason Lundell, the visionary CEO of Unchained Wellness Clinic, about reshaping how we view mental health and healing. Mason shares his personal and professional journey that led him to create a clinic focused on helping individuals “unchain” themselves from emotional and neurological patterns through innovative, compassionate care.

Together, they explore the power of ketamine therapy as a tool for activating neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections — when combined with intentional coaching and integration. Mason explains how this process helps patients rewire thought patterns, release trauma, and build emotional resilience. He also highlights the importance of Theta brain wave states, which enable deep subconscious healing and reprogramming during therapy sessions.

The conversation closes with a shared vision of the future of wellness — one that merges science, coaching, and spirituality to empower people to become their own healers. Bronwyn and Mason emphasize that true transformation begins in the mind, and that with the right tools and guidance, lasting freedom and mental wellness are within reach.
