The Power of Plant Medicine and Psychedelics in Eating Disorder Recovery

Today, I have a guest on the show and I'm talking to Dori Lewis.

Dori is a licensed psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics. She is also the owner of Reflective Healing Centre in Fort Collins, Colorado, a psychotherapy group practice and licensed healing centre specialising in psychedelic-assisted therapy, including ketamine and psilocybin, as well as integration therapy and transpersonal psychotherapy.

She is a licensed Natural Medicine Clinical Facilitator in Colorado and serves as a clinical consultant in mushroom medicine work. With over a decade of clinical experience, Dori integrates transpersonal psychology, depth-oriented therapy, and psychedelic-assisted modalities within a relational framework that centres the therapeutic alliance.

She has facilitated over 200 psilocybin sessions and numerous group ceremonies, bringing both clinical rigor and experiential depth to her work. Her approach is further informed by mentorship within the Zapotec mushroom tradition in Oaxaca, Mexico, alongside her own training and personal practice. As an educator, she has served as a faculty member with the Psychedelic Research and Training Institute and developed Elemental’s ketamine-assisted therapy and psilocybin facilitator training.

She is also the first author of the forthcoming book The Psychedelic Mushroom Integration Workbook: Nurturing Growth, Healing, and Transformation with Psilocybin.

In the episode today, Dori shares part of her story in recovering from disordered eating, including her personal, transformative journey with plant medicine. Dori talks about how she uses plant medicine today in supporting her clients, alongside therapy, giving you an insight and perspective into a world that is still often misunderstood. I hope that you find it helpful.
