By now we know that society’s fixation with ‘body image’ can have a negative impact on our mental health, but just how crippling can it be?
Pete Winmill has over 20 years in the fitness industry, working as a personal trainer in London, Bali, and Australia, and spent 13 years managing 20+ staff across WA and SA for one of Australia’s largest fitness RTOs. He’s owned five gyms, still running one in Buderim, and is now studying psychology with plans to register as a psychologist.
After battling debilitating body image issues from severe acne, Pete found healing through ayahuasca. He now volunteers with WNOW, leads the Rainbow Bay Men’s Group, and founded Men Off the Meds to help men reduce reliance on medication through lifestyle change.
In this episode he shares:
- His early years and what led him to where he is now
- How severe acne as a teenager changed how he saw the world and himself
- The habits and thoughts he developed to cope through this period and how it impacted relationships
- His challenges with intimacy and why he used alcohol as an escape
- His life post uni and what led him to working in Bali for 4 years
- The critical last 3 years and his experience with ayahuasca
- How Ayahuasca made him sick and how he worked through it
- What he did next after this and how he managed his life and work balance
- What he does now for work
