She revealed she had taken ayahuasca twice, noting that during her second experience, she consumed four cups of the brew.

‘I started sobbing, and it was nuts,’ she recalled. ‘And then I got to see all the inner workings of myself.’

Though she described the experience as transformative, she has no plans to revisit it.

‘I look back at it now and am so grateful I did it, but it doesn’t call for me to do it again.’

She tagged the post, ‘#ayahuasca #yoga #soulfragments #mezcal #coyote #elizacoupe #medicine #healing.’

Beyond her spiritual journey, Coupe has long been candid about her struggles with food and body image.

‘I was so broken, I couldn’t get fixed enough for the relationship because I had damaged it with my own s***,’ she said on the podcast, reflecting on how these struggles affected her personal life.

‘Some may call it an eating disorder, I just call it my life,’ she continued. 

‘My drug of choice was always food. The reason I stopped drinking was because I got into a 12-step food program.’

For seven years, she meticulously weighed out every meal as part of the program.

‘I am grateful for all the tools I learned from it,’ Coupe acknowledged, but admitted her past struggles went beyond food restriction. 

‘I would over-exercise, and there was a sprinkle of bulimia in there.
