In a bold step toward the future of mental wellness, Dr. Susan Murrmann and the team at McDonald Murrmann Beautiful Medicine 360° will be the first clinic in the Mid-South to offer EXOMIND, a groundbreaking, non-invasive brain stimulation technology designed to support mental health, cognitive function, and emotional regulation.

EXOMIND, developed by medical aesthetics leader BTL, is powered by ExoTMS, a highly advanced, artificial intelligence-driven form of transcranial magnetic stimulation. It’s FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression and has shown promise in addressing anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and even cognitive decline. For Dr. Murrmann, its true power lies in how it fits within McDonald Murrmann clinic’s larger mission: functional, full-circle wellness that empowers individuals to feel whole, seen, and cared for.

“This is the first step that helps people feel more like themselves again and sets the stage for healing,” reflected Dr. Murrmann.

The belief that mental health treatment can be personal and integrative sits at the heart of the clinic’s adoption of EXOMIND. The technology goes deeper than treating symptoms — it is centered on restoring clarity, energy, and connection. With EXOMIND, patients can actively pursue emotional healing in a setting that treats the brain as part of the entire body’s wellness system, not an isolated problem.

A first in the Mid-South and a model for what’s next

EXOMIND uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create a personalized brain map for each patient, tailoring its stimulation to individual brain activity and adjusting in real-time. This precise targeting — focused on areas like the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which influences mood, focus, and self-control — means patients receive a highly customized treatment that gently guides their brains toward healthier patterns.

Unlike bygone brain stimulation methods, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), EXOMIND is entirely non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and has minimal side effects. Patients typically feel a gentle tapping sensation on their scalp and leave the 30-minute session feeling relaxed. Most report better sleep after the first session, and mood improvement after a few weeks. Many traditional approaches require longer and more intensive treatment schedules. In contrast, EXOMIND’s protocol is time-efficient and sustainable, typically involving one weekly session for six weeks.

EXOMIND may be a good option for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, or PTSD who haven’t found relief through traditional medications or talk therapy alone. However, it may not be appropriate for those with a history of seizures, metal implants in the head, or certain neurological conditions, so a thorough evaluation is essential before beginning treatment.

As part of McDonald Murrmann’s BTL Center of Excellence designation, the clinic will offer EXOMIND and serve as a training hub for other providers. This leadership reflects years of research and investment in energy-based treatments like EMSELLA, aimed at empowering patients to proactively care for their bodies and minds.

Mental health is physical health

For Dr. Murrmann, mental health isn’t a separate concern – it’s a foundational element of total well-being. Hormonal shifts, nutritional deficiencies, and life stressors all influence brain function. In her practice, she sees EXOMIND not as a cure-all but as a catalyst, a tool that, when paired with healthy lifestyle habits and personalized care, can jumpstart meaningful change. This whole-body strategy reinforces the belief that mental clarity, emotional resilience, and physical vitality are deeply connected.

Shaping the future of mental health

In a time where conversations around mental health are shifting, EXOMIND represents a new frontier: Personalized, pharmaceutical-free care that empowers patients to take ownership of their healing. It offers hope for those seeking to feel more focused, balanced, and alive.

“This is the last territory we hadn’t touched,” says Dr. Murrmann. “We’ve always addressed hormones, gut health, aesthetics, and energy. But now, with EXOMIND, we’re completing the picture. When you change your brain, you change how you live.”

McDonald Murrmann Beautiful Medicine 360° is now scheduling consultations for EXOMIND at its Germantown location. To learn more or book a session, visit Mmcwh360.com or call 901.752.4000.
