Chris & Filly are joined with Alpha Schulte to talk all things money mindset and its connection to body burnout. I asked Alpha onto the show because money and finances are a huge stressor for many people, and affecting health. It was the number one stress for my own self (Filly) which directly impacted my health, so understanding how to unravel your beliefs and relationship around money can be super supportive in healing body burnout.    About Alpha Schulte Alpha started out as a corporate tax accountant, but decided she preferred working with clients on more than just tax.  So, she moved into management consulting for over a decade.  During this time she was on her own personal development journey and studied different modalities.  Plus, she studied Financial Planning when she realised she knew very little about personal finances!  Wanting to help women with their financial literacy, she found herself working with business owners on both their money mindset and their financial literacy.  Seeing women grow in financial confidence and take control of their mindset is what she loves most! In today’s episode, Alpha talks to Chris & Filly about: Her own body burnout journey and how it led her to mindset work, especially around money The connection between money stress and “busy”, burnout patterns How money affects health and wellbeing Unresourceful money mindsets The root beneath money triggers Rewiring the brain and our beliefs, stories and habits around money Raising your money energy   Show Note Links:    Check out Alpha’s free video training on money mindset here   Learn more about Alpha here   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here   Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul - Daisy - live on our podcast. They dig into stress & multiple sclerosis flare up post losing her father, and what’s going on below the surface at the deeper “metaphysical” level.   It’s a rare honour to listen in on a very personal coaching session, so a big thank you to Lucy for allowing us to publish this beautiful episode. And also give Daisy some virtual/energetic love and compassion, as you listen to this intimate conversation.   You might even find yourself resonating with the struggles, beliefs and insights that come out of this conversation. And if your heart is resonating with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing & you are DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms and you are ready for real and long-lasting solutions, join the waitlist for our Ending Body Burnout Method (doors open again in Sept). Today’s episode gives you a glimpse into our “metaphysical” side of healing, which we call “Spark”. Spark is a CRITICAL piece that is often missed in the health industry. It gets to the very root of body burnout, by identifying deep-seated beliefs and stories that are causing sickness, and keeping you stuck from healing. Essentially, the process dives deep into your brain, your nervous system and your unconscious mind, and rewires your healing abilities from within. You can find out more about this here.   In today’s episode, Chris coaches Daisy on: Grief after losing her father & how the stress of this has flared up her multiple sclerosis symptoms (mobility, fatigue, headaches), that previously were improving Stuck in guilt around not being able to do more for her family Childhood pressures to be the ”Golden Child” as the oldest child & how this has created adult patterns of trying to rescue others - to the expense of her health Coaching process to move forward: AIM - Awareness, Intention, Mindfulness (or make it happen) Daisy’s new mantra: I’m not your mum, go and wipe your own bum!     Show Note Links:  Join the waitlist for our Ending Body Burnout Method program to access first dibs & early-bird bonuses - doors open Sept   Apply to come on our podcast for a Live “Spark” Coaching Session here Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Filly is joined with Dr Shiromi Wimalaguna, a GP passionate about advocating for mental health. I met Dr Shiromi in a business group we are both part of, and straight away I felt connected to her and her warm and bubbly nature. I was also super impressed with her proactive steps to helping patients with mental health issues. For her it’s less about just slapping an antidepressant on a script, and instead really understanding the patient and his or her needs, and provide lifestyle and skill-set support to empower the patient. I also love that Dr Shiromi is a big advocate in patient shared-care: to build bridges and work together in the name of looking after our patients.    About Dr Shiromi Wimalaguna Dr. Shiromi has been a GP for 15 years. She is passionate about mental health and feels privileged to help patients who courageously step into her office to seek help. She prides herself on supporting patients make positive lifestyle changes, gain an established skill set to help manage worries, and, most importantly, find a sense of relief that all will be okay. Dr. Shiromi is a leader for change and innovation. She is the Founder and CEO of The Cloud GP. Their signature course is an online, self-directed mental health program that helps patients overcome symptoms of depression and anxiety while they wait to see a psychologist.   In today’s episode, Dr Shiromi talks to Filly about: Why Dr Shiromi chose to specialise in mental health and create a course to bridge the gap between GP’s and psychological help Why 54% of people with a mental illness do not seek support How to break the stigma, shame and embarrassment around mental illness The link between “busy”, burned-out people and mental illness How to take a proactive rather than reactive approach in mental health Foundations to create a healthy mind How to find a great GP   Show Note Links:    Find our more about Dr Shiromi & her short-course The Cloud GP here   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Filly is joined with the Funk’tional Nutritionist Erin Holt, a power-house functional medicine practitioner based in the USA. I was sooooooo excited when Erin said “Yes!” to coming onto our show. I have been following Erin for years on Insta, and started listening to her podcast a few years ago when I was trying to find answers to my “third” body burnout flare-up during COVID times. I felt so stuck with trying to heal my symptoms - none of the “physical” functional medicine protocols that worked last time, were working this time - and when I came across Erin’s podcast where she talks about Intuitive Functional Medicine and healing all “bodies” of the self as a WHOLE (physical, mental-emotional, spiritual, energetic), I knew I’d found the missing piece to my own healing. I’d been trying to “treat” myself and clients as if we are just one body - “physical” - when actually that is incomplete and reductionist, and will never lead to deep and long-term healing and health. Get ready for a banger!!!   About Erin Holt   Erin Holt is a functional nutritionist, Stanford-trained compassion teacher and founder of The Funk'tional Nutritionist, an online clinic and education platform that specialises in Intuitive Functional Medicine™️, blending evidence-based practices, functional lab testing, mindset & energy medicine for a unique and customised approach to women’s health. Erin is also the founder & director of the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy, a functional medicine practitioner training & mentorship. You can find Erin rabble-rousing on the The Funk’tional Nutrition Podcast, a weekly show dedicated to all things health.   In today’s episode, Erin talks to Filly about:   Her own body burnout journey - running major perfectionism & over-achieving patterns in college, disordered eating, and then a full-blown rare autoimmune condition after the birth of her baby. How Erin got stuck with conventional medicine, and how she found functional medicine, which was an important “physical” piece in healing her autoimmune condition.  How she went deeper into healing unconscious core beliefs and deeper programming to unravel perfectionism patterns and step out of health hypervigilance. We talk about the limitations of standard functional medicine, and how it’s not the “panacea” that it claims to be. Why healing all “bodies” of the self is root-cause medicine, and when to know you’re ready for it. Where science meets the sacred: why both are important, and why we must learn to return back to ourselves and our body’s ancient wisdom. Erin runs a thriving 7-figure business and is constantly creating new things: Erin speaks into how she lives her life intuitively and energetically, to prevent going into burnout again   Show Note Links:    Find Erin on Instagram here   Listen to Erin’s podcast here   Find out more about Erin Holt & Funk’tional Nutritionist support for patients here   Find out more about Erin’s Funk’tional Nutritionist Academy practitioner mentorship here   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul - Lucy - live on our podcast. They dig into patterns of over-doing, diarrhoea and chronic inflammation, and what’s going on below the surface at the deeper “metaphysical” level. It’s a rare honour to listen in on a very personal coaching session, so a big thank you to Lucy for allowing us to publish this beautiful episode. And also give Lucy some virtual/energetic love and compassion, as you listen to this intimate conversation. You might even find yourself resonating with the struggles, beliefs and insights that come out of this conversation. And if your heart is resonating with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing & you are DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms and you are ready for real and long-lasting solutions, it’s the last chance to join our Ending Body Burnout Method - doors close 28 May 9pm! Today’s episode gives you a glimpse into our “metaphysical” side of healing, which we call “Spark”. Spark is a CRITICAL piece that is often missed in the health industry. It gets to the very root of body burnout, by identifying deep-seated beliefs and stories that are causing sickness, and keeping you stuck from healing. Essentially, the process dives deep into your brain, your nervous system and your unconscious mind, and rewires your healing abilities from within. You can find out more about this here. In today’s episode, Chris coaches Lucy on: Gathering data around case-history - chronic diarrhoea post travelling, chronic injuries & ankylosing spondylitis & inflammation, and getting no answers with standard medicine, and no real results with natural medicine so far.  Digging into “doing-doing-doing” patterns & fear of not achieving.  Diarrhoea as a symbol of being “too-fast” in all areas of life. Deeper beliefs around what it means about Lucy if she is chilled, relaxed & not being “productive.” The two parts that are in opposition with each other (Productive Lucy & Lazy Lucy), causing conflict inside the body.  Masculine vs feminine energy How both parts love Lucy, and want the very best for Lucy.   Show Note Links:    Join our FREE 3-Steps To End Your Body Burnout Webinar here   Join the Ending Body Burnout Method program - Be quick, doors close 28 May   Apply to come on our podcast for a Live “Spark” Coaching Session here Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here   Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Filly is joined with one of our inspirational clients who is mid-way through our Ending Body Burnout Method 6-month program. Emily so honestly and generously shares her ending body burnout journey to overcome long-haul COVID, severe fatigue, chronic headaches and POTs symptoms, and how she is finally transforming her health by getting to the root and learning to deeply love and trust herself. These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so  incredibly grateful to this truly inspiring woman, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.    In this episode, Emily chats to Filly about:   Her journey prior to meeting Chris & Filly, as she tried to recover from long-haul COVID: the GP visits & tests (that showed everything was “fine”), the acupuncture, the naturopaths, the nutritionists, the supplements, the brain rewiring exercises. All of these things helped a little, but she knew she hadn’t found the ROOT-root-cause. We then go into her functional lab testing, that we do at the start of a client’s journey. Emily showed up with adrenal fatigue, mitochondria retraction, low serotonin levels, SIBO (for the third time!) and detox issues. All body system imbalances that can trigger post-viral fatigue.  We then dive into the “metaphysical” side of healing inside our Ending Body Burnout Method (also known as Spark). Emily shares the moment she created a dysfunctional belief about herself when she was a child - that she wasn’t “normal”, that she was less than - and how it had created over-doing patterns, and had been impacting every area of her life, including blocking her ability to heal.  She shares how life is now: energy levels improving each week, headaches dissipating, and finally feeling for the first time in her life a sense of being in flow, relaxed inside herself as she has learned to deeply love and trust herself.    Show Note Links:    Join the WAITLIST for our Ending Body Burnout Method to access over $500 worth of early-bird bonuses and secure your spot (limited spaces available)   Register for our FREE 3-Day Live Coaching: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working HERE   Register for our FREE 3-Steps to End Your Body Burnout Webinar HERE    Take our Ending Body Burnout Assessment HERE Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Chris & Filly are joined with Kristy Russell, one of our super inspiring clients who recently went through our Ending Body Burnout Method. Kristy so honestly and generously shares her ending body burnout journey, and how she overcame perfectionism, overwhelm, “Dragon Mum”, brain fog and allergies and histamine intolerance. These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so  incredibly grateful to the gorgeous Kristy, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.    About Kristy Russell  You might also remember that Kristy was on our podcast last year, as she shared her chronic pain healing story, as well as her expertise in the music and mindset space in early childhood development and learning. Kristy is an early childhood specialist, music educator, mum of 2 busy boys and Musical Mindset Mentor for Early Years educators, teachers and parents. Kristy is on a mission to spread the magic and power of Music, and through her business “Moovers n Shakers Music” advocates for musical learning to be embedded into every curriculum - not as an added extra!    In this episode, Kristy chats to Chris & Filly about:   Her two previous body burnout experiences, and how she overcame them. How she started an online business in 2023, which brought with it a third body burnout, and how she felt stuck and needed someone to look through her “mask” and help her discover her deepest-root-cause and hold her in the space of healing. Why Kristy decided not to do functional lab testing and supplements, and instead wholeheartedly dove into the metaphysical side of healing. The work it took to discover her deepest root-cause belief that was causing EVERYTHING - her perfectionism, overwhelm, over-doing, brain fog, allergies, and the thing that was even keeping her stuck in her relationships and business. How clearing trauma was a HUGE part of her healing, and what this looked like. The three pivotal moments Kristy knew the Ending Body Burnout Method was working for her.  What life looks like now - flow and deep connection in her relationships, expansive energy within her business, calm in body and mind (and off ALL medications for allergies), and a life free of trauma triggers. How her healing and connection with self is rippling out into her business and profession, helping other early childhood music teachers and parents to incorporate music and mindset in learning, development and regulation.

This time, we are talking all things parasites, and specifically digging into the two most common parasites we see on lab testing: Dientameoba Fragilis and Blastocystis Hominis. I choose this topic as we still get so many DM’s in our Instagram inbox, about a video on these parasites I did 5 or so years ago, all asking the same thing: How do I get rid of these parasites?!    In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:   What are parasites and how do they affect our health Dientameoba Fragilis and Blastocystis Hominis: are they actually harmful? How to effectively test parasites How to treat parasites (and no, it’s not always about “killing” them) Why a holistic approach is far more effective at eradicating symptoms Common reasons why your parasite-cleanse isn’t working Deeper root-causes of parasites that go beyond the body  Invitation to our FREE 3-day Live Event next month: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working   Show Note Links:    Register for our FREE 3-Day Live Event: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working   Register for the Communicating with Symptoms Workshop   Register for the FREE 3 Steps To End Your Body Burnout Webinar   Book In For a Connect The Dots Initial Consult to get your case reviewed   Join the WAITLIST for the Ending Body Burnout Method program   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Filly is joined with the gorgeous Life Coach Lisa Corduff, woman of many hats! When I first came across Lisa on socials, I was drawn into her “realness”. She is raw, honest, messy, and wholeheartedly leaning into life and all its challenges - building a successful online business, past wife of an alcoholic who was in and out of rehab, widow and juggling mum of three beautiful humans. For those of you who have read my book Ending Body Burnout, you would’ve read Lisa’s most perfect foreword to my book (I literally cried big tears when she emailed me her final draft!). We talk about all of this and more on today’s episode!    About Lisa Corduff   Lisa Corduff has built an online business helping women get unstuck and upgrade their lives in simple yet powerful ways. A solo mum of 3, she’s all about avoiding the perfectionism and overwhelm that can so easily keep us trapped. As a powerful story-teller, Lisa's recent sharing of her journey through grief is captivating and inspiring.    In today’s episode, Lisa talks to Filly about:   Her own body burnout (shingles!) story, back in 2017 when her then alcoholic husband Nick was in & out of rehab, and she was shouldering the responsibility as breadwinner & mother How Lisa worked through burnout by reconnecting with her body and by asking her self every morning: “what would Lisa like to do for herself today?” Why 98.6% of women never feel fully rested (based on Lisa’s 2022 survey conducted on over 1400 women) The underlying reason why some women struggle to prioritise sleep - even though the *KNOW* they would feel better Types of “Overwhelm” and how yours can lead to burnout How Lisa navigated grief after Nick (past husband) died & how she teaches others to do the same How carving out 5 hours per week for “me time” & getting creative is Lisa’s number 1 tip for getting out of overwhelming and finding “life” again   Show Note Links:    Take Lisa’s Overwhelm Type Quiz here Find out more about Lisa Cordfuff here Follow Lisa on Instagram Follow Lisa on FaceBook Follow Lisa on Substack   RSVP for our Book Tour event in Brisbane here Register for our FREE 3-Day Live Event: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly dig into all things hiatal hernia, a dysfunctional condition where the stomach wedges up into the oesophagus. We commonly see this in clinic, especially in clients whose bodies are feeling burned-out & acting dysfunctionally. This episode is off the back of a YouTube video we did 3 years ago, where we demonstrated how to physically release a hiatal hernia. I’m not sure what’s happened with the YouTube Algorithm God’s, but this video has recently taken off with tens of thousands of views and 100’s of questions and comments - lol! So we thought we’d do a Part 2 and respond to viewers’ questions, and in particular take you through how to care for the stomach, after performing the Hiatal Hernia Release, to prevent the stomach from popping up again.    In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:   What is a hiatal hernia What are the signs & symptoms of a hiatal hernia Common causes of hiatal hernia How to care for the stomach after performing the Hiatal Hernia Release  What to do when things aren’t working  Invitation to our FREE 3-day Live Event next month: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working   Show Note Links:    Book in for the BRISBANE Book Tour Event here   Watch our How To RELEASE a Hiatal Hernia YouTube video here   Book In For a Connect The Dots Initial Consult to get your case reviewed   Register for our FREE 3-Day Live Event: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working   Join the WAITLIST for the Ending Body Burnout Method program   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Filly is joined with Dr Mary Barson, a truly amazing medical doctor who uses “real life” medicine to support weight loss & metabolic health. This was such a great convo - be prepared for a combo of nitty-gitty cellular details of what happens when you struggle to burn fat, as well as venturing into the MIND - and how it is THE most important thing when it comes to achieving good health & weight loss.   About Dr Mary Barson   Dr Mary Barson is a General Practitioner based on the Victorian Surf Coast. She is a weight loss doctor and expert in metabolic health. With qualifications in both Medicine and Biochemistry, Dr Mary understands all things “sciencey”. She loves interpreting scientific research, and can separate out true science from popular “woo”. Dr Mary marries her love of human biochemistry with her psychological skills as a counsellor and hypnotherapist. Dr Mary’s passion is empowering people to improve their metabolism (for healthy and long-lasting weight loss), as well as empowering people to gain the mindset skills to make healthy changes fun, sustainable and life-long. Dr Mary has suffered with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and used to be obese, and therefore understands how difficult this can be for many women. By making the right lifestyle changes, Mary has permanently lost weight, improved her metabolic health and her PCOS has gone into remission.  Dr Mary is a mum to two wonderful children, she loves public speaking and has the most infectious, and very loud laugh (or so people tell her).   In today’s episode, Dr Mary talks to Filly about:   Her own personal body burnout story, struggling with PCOS, obesity & getting burned-out in general medical practice.  How she moved into healing her body, losing heaps of weight, and transitioning from general practice to using real life medicine. The connection between burnout and weight gain.  The body systems that affect weight gain and difficulty losing weight. Why mindset is the most important thing when it comes to losing weight sustainably. Hypnotherapy as a weight loss tool.    Show Note Links:    Find out more about Dr Mary & Real Life Medicine here   Download Dr Mary’s FREE guided hypnosis on nourishing your body well   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Chris & Filly are joined with the super vibrant Emma Gilmour, Alcohol Coach. This was a FASCINATING conversation all about the connection between burnout and squashing emotions and nervous system dysregulation issues down with alcohol. Do NOT expect “quick fix” strategies to force yourself to give up alcohol. Rather we go real deep into unconscious core beliefs, trauma patterns & cultural expectations which lead to struggles with alcohol.   About Emma Gilmour:   Emma Gilmour is a registered counsellor, psychotherapist, Senior This Naked Mind and Master Gray Area Drinking certified alcohol coach, living in Melbourne, Australia. Emma worked for 20+ years in corporate marketing and ran every morning before work. A working mum fuelled by adrenalin, coffee and booze, she looked like she had it all. But on the inside, she was running on empty. As she reached her mid-forties alcohol started to take more than it gave and so begun her long and very messy break-up with alcohol. Emma is an Aussie based peri-menopausal mum of neuro and gender diverse teens. She loves stand up paddle boarding, ocean swimming and has recently purchased some gorgeous hot pink roller-skates. The focus of her coaching work is women in midlife wondering what might open up for them if they took a break from alcohol. In today’s episode, Emma talks to Chris & Filly about:   Her past relationship with alcohol (she was a MASSIVE fan!), how she realised alcohol-use was becoming dysfunctional, and how it masked a deeper underlying burnout & nervous system breakdown Signs that your consumption  of alcohol is becoming a problem Why “will power” to quit alcohol never works - at least not long-term Deeper underlying roots of alcoholism - inner child, trauma, self-limiting beliefs, nervous system dysregulation How to regulate your nervous system and move through your emotions, so you don’t “need” to drink   Show Note Links:    Find out more about Emma here   Register for Emma’s 5-Day Virtual Retreat    Download Emma’s FREE Grounding Video here   Download Emma’s FREE Awareness Worksheets here   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

In today’s solo episode, Filly digs into the triggers & overwhelm that can arise during the Christmas season. Culturally we’ve experienced it, which is why this beautiful season is coined the “silly season”, and why there are so many memes floating around like this one: The stress of trying to have a happy holiday is more than I can handle!   While it’s funny and all, what is actually simmering beneath the signals your body is sending you?   In today’s episode, Filly covers: Why the festive season can feel so overwhelming Where your inner child might be showing up How triggers show up in the body 5 steps to understanding & releasing triggers Real life example: Filly’s story from last Christmas & how her heartburn got so bad she felt like there was a giant tennis ball stuck in her oesophagus (& how it all came back to getting triggered by her siblings!)   Show Note Links:    Buy the Ending Body Burnout Method book - express post this week at no extra charge!   DOORS NOW OPEN: Join the Ending Body Burnout Method   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Filly & Chris are joined with Sharon Collon from The Functional Family. Sharon is an award-winning ADHD coach. She not only has a fascinating story to share - overcoming her own autoimmune conditions due to the daily stress of raising 3 boys with severe ADHD - but she also shares SOOOO many gold nugget tips on how to identify ADHD in yourself and children, how to work with an ADHD brain, rather than trying to “fix” it, and manageable ways to bring more calm to the nervous system. This is a must-listen for anyone with (or suspected) ADHD, if you have a ADHD family member, or you’re struggling with overwhelm, stress and ADHD-type signs and symptoms.   About Sharon Collon   Sharon is an award winning qualified ADHD coach who specialises in providing support and strategies for people with ADHD (and those that support them).   Sharon lives in Sydney with her husband and 3 boys, all who have severe ADHD (throw in some tourette's and ODD in there too).  Her home runs at such an intensity - it needs to be filmed for a documentary series.  The daily stress burnt her out and it had a negative impact on Sharon's health.   At a complete loss of how she was supposed to have a 'Functional Family' she began researching ADHD to try and learn more about ways to work with the ADHD brain and create a more joyful, streamlined home environment.  What followed was a series of spectacular failures, weird experiments and then formal studying ADHD.  Through it all, the Collon family found a way to make their life with ADHD work for them.  Now Sharon helps others do the same.  Whether it be through Adult ADHD Coaching, Parent Mentoring, the low cost membership, the 6 week program or the ADHD families Podcast, she provides a safe place for people with ADHD to learn about their brain and create strategies that work for them.   In today’s episode, Sharon talks to Chris & Filly about: Her own body burnout story - diagnosed with autoimmune psoriasis, Bell’s palsy and chronic fatigue - after the birth of her third son, and trying to raise 3 boys with severe ADHD. The root-cause behind her body burnout - mentally Sharon felt strong, but her body felt constantly unsafe, like it was always battling in a war-zone. How Sharon started working with her childrens’ ADHD brains, rather than trying to “fix” them - which then allowed her to heal and regulate her system. Signs that you or your children may have ADHD. Why having the label “ADHD” is beneficial, and can heal inner child dysfunctional beliefs of being “lazy”, “too much”, “broken”, “irresponsible”. The relationship between ADHD and burnout. Tips to support hyper-focusing, including use of technology and scheduling in time to eat and regulate the nervous system. Sharon shares her free resource - The Predictable Problem Worksheet - which helps to reduce stress and overwhelm.    Show Note Links:    DOORS NOW OPEN: Join Ending Body Burnout Method program   Download Sharon’s FREE Predictable Problems Worksheet here   Download Sharon’s FREE Family Meeting Worksheet here   Learn more about Sharon & The Functional Family here   Follow Sharon & The Functional Family on FaceBook here   Follow Sharon & The Functional Family on Instagram here   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Earlier this year, Filly did a webinar on emotional eating for Natural Medicine Week. We thought we’d share it on the poddie today, as we’ve had quite a few people feeling some feels about Christmas, and all the Christmas cheer & parties that are coming up; concerned about going “overboard” around all the sugar, and feeling the guilts about eating “unhealthy. Hopefully this episode today will give you a clear understanding about your eating patterns and help you move into the Christmas period and beyond with more clarity and calm. (FYI: emotional eating is NOT about lack of willpower)   If you’d prefer to WATCH this webinar, head here.     In today’s episode, Filly covers: Imbalances in the body that lead to emotional eating How to detect imbalances with functional lab testing and how to treat imbalances WHY these body systems burnout in the first place Hidden dysfunctional beliefs, patterns and trauma stuck in the unconscious mind, which directly lead to emotional eating patterns.

Filly & Chris are joined with Jeannie Savage, founder & author of The Strategic Bookkeeper and Cloud9 Strategic Bookkeeping. We first met Jeannie back in 2021 when we did a business program together. She is a fire-cracker, power-house entrepreneur, and has a pretty extraordinary body burnout story (severe allergies, asthma, fatigue and myriad of other symptoms) & recovery journey. She also has a special interest in helping successful entrepreneurs overcome & prevent burnout, by championing self-care and work-life-balance.    About Jeannie Savage    Jeannie is an award-winning Strategic Bookkeeper, author, certified trainer and speaker. She’s the CEO and brainchild behind The Strategic Bookkeeper which exists to help Bookkeepers build and sustain a thriving practice. She’s also the CEO of Cloud9 Strategic, and bookkeeping service in Australia. She’s been in practice for 13 years and she scaled into a lifestyle business after just 5 years – so she could live her dream on her terms – and it has been awesome!  During her time in practice, she’s perfected everything from building a brand, attracting and retaining high value clients, selling succession products, systemising and - building, leading and managing productive teams.  Her vision for you is ultimately to help you live your dream on your terms – through her book, podcast, booking keeping service and her mentoring program.    In today’s episode, Jeannie talks to Chris & Filly about:   Her body burnout story, starting right back as a “sick” kid with asthma and allergies (she died once as a kid!), and how things got worse later in life when she was suffocating in a marriage that was not working for her. How her sister’s death (dropped dead of a heart-attack) shook Jeannie to find happiness in her life.  How she overcame her health issues when she began prioritising herself, and filling up her physical, mental and spiritual cups. We dive deeper into her upbringing - how she was always in “survival” mode with her health and her place in her family, even “saving” the family business and growing it from 10 million to 100 million dollars a year as a teen.  How she helps other business owners prioritise their health, while growing profitable businesses.  Show Note Links:  Register for the Ending Body Burnout Book Tour here   Ending Body Burnout Method - DOORS OPEN - Join Here   Learn more about Jeannie and The Strategic Bookkeeper here   Learn more about Jeannie and Cloud9 Strategic Bookkeeping here   Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here   Check out how you can work with Chris & Filly Functional Medicine here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Chris & Filly are joined by Sarah, one of our beautiful clients who recently went through Chris & Filly Functional Medicine’s “Ending Body Burnout Method”.    Sarah shares her ending body burnout story, and how she overcame chronic Gastritis flareups, anxiety, fatigue, food sensitivities, rosacea, hair loss & difficulty putting on weight.    These real-life stories are super special. We are lovers of words and the power of stories to heal and to create a transformation. And the research is clear: telling your own story and listening to other people share their story has mental AND physical healing benefits. Stories also metabolise trauma - which is what a lot of people struggling with chronic body burnout and “mystery” symptoms experience on a day to day basis.    So we are incredibly grateful to the Warrior Princess Sarah, for coming on the show today, to spread the love and healing with others, as she shares her own ending body burnout journey.    In this episode, Sarah chats to Chris & Filly about:   How she had an anxious, worried disposition as a kid, as well as sensory issues around food, underweight & sickly, and how health issues started accumulating, as she grew into an adult.  Sarah talks about things she tried to address her body burnout symptoms - naturopaths, acupuncture, supplements, elimination diet. All of these things helped, but didn’t get to the ROOT of why symptoms continued to flare up.  Sarah took the courageous step to join our Ending Body Burnout Method (despite her apprehension), after she discovered an overwhelming amount of imbalances in her body - despite living a “healthy” life - stage 2 adrenal fatigue, mitochondria issues, low adrenaline, dopamine & serotonin, pathogen overgrowth, depleted microbiome and detox issues.  We dive into the way Sarah identified & overcame her deepest ROOT-root-cause of body burnout, which stemmed from a hidden unconscious belief about being helpless, which was ramping up anxiety, perfectionism, over-doing and body system imbalances. Sarah shares what her body & life looks like now, after solving her body burnout: flow in her life, self-love & belief, and NO symptom flare-ups.  Show Note Links:    Buy the Pre-release of Ending Body Burnout book & get $291 bonuses   Join the waiting list for Ending Body Burnout Method program   Take our Ending Body Burnout Assessment   Check out how you can work with us here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

In this “Connect The Dots” episode, Chris & Filly dive into a listener's case around constipation, bloating, nausea, anxiety, burnout & childhood trauma.

Filly is joined by Helen Marshall, founder of Primal Alternative, on today’s podcast episode. I came across the Primal Alternative brand five or so years ago, and fell in love IMMEDIATELY with the grain-free, wholefood bakery products. Bread, cookies, granolas, pizza bases, pastries, wraps - Primal Alternative has you covered, making healthy eating and eating to a protocol (low-fodmap, Paleo, Keto, Vegan, nut-free, etc) covered! It was great chatting to Helen about her own body burnout journey, how Primal Alternative came about, and how she has created a unique business model, helping other women bake grain-free products from home with the Primalista Licence and make money.     About Helen Marshall   Helen’s mission is to empower people to be accountable to their purpose with a new business model of freedom – the Primalista Licence. The model was born from a desire to share a successful grain free food business model.  As a health coach, Helen saw first hand how people ‘fell off the wagon’ as they missed comfort food staples like bread, pizza, pastries and cookies.  So she created nourishing alternatives to the foods everyone loves and they literally sold like hot cakes. Helen gets the struggles many face finding a vocation that aligns with their values. She packaged everything she’d learnt about creating a food business from home whilst on a healing journey, raising a family and designing a lifestyle around the things she loves. The Primalista Licence meets the needs of many people in all areas of their lives: vocational, financial, mental, spiritual, social, physical & familial. To date over 291 Primalistas have joined Primal Alternative in Australia, New Zealand, USA & UK. Before ditching the rat race, she was a Fitness Instructor and Personal trainer then a Business Manager for a leading recruitment company in the city.  Helen has interviewed people all of her life listening to their desires around health, work and lifestyle and has combined those skills to bring her greatest contribution yet – the Primalista Licence. Helen lives on 100 acres of wilderness in Albany, WA with her husband Mike and their teenage children Sam & Milly. She likes Body Balance, Body Step + Body Pump, massage, coffee with her bestie, sunbathing, meditation, walks in nature and champagne in the spa.   In today’s episode, Helen talks to Filly about:   Helen’s body burnout story - food sensitivities, SIBO, leaky gut, fatigue, brain fog & more. How Helen healed using food as medicine, lab testing & protocols, and deeper root-causes around stress. How Primal Alternative was born, after Helen started health coaching and realised so many women were struggling to eat healthy and cooking everything from scratch. The moment the Primalista licence business model dropped into Helen’s mind, after looking at beliefs and aligning with her values.  A segway into accessing your inner guide. How you can ditch deprivation and apply long term dietary and lifestyle changes.

Chris & Filly are joined by the beautiful soul & transformational coach, Gemma Hanley. Gemma has an incredible healing story of overcoming 23 years of debilitating anxiety & chronic fatigue (plus many more “weird” health issues!), and found that the power of deep emotional healing was the winning piece to her physical healing. You’re going to love this beautiful, raw and authentic convo.    About Gemma Hanley Gemma guides driven and high achieving women who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism and resistance to discover happiness, confidence and calm from within themselves.  Her coaching strategy is heavily informed from her own 23 year journey of holistically healing panic attacks, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Chris & Filly are joined by Jason, one of our super inspiring clients who recently went through Chris & Filly Functional Medicine’s “Ending Body Burnout Method”.    Jason shares his ending body burnout story, and how he overcame chronic back pain (due to the autoimmune condition, Ankylosing Spondylitis), skin issues, food sensitivities & becoming unstoppable!    These real-life stories are super special. We are lovers of words and the power of stories to heal and to create a transformation. And the research is clear: telling your own story and listening to other people share their story has mental AND physical healing benefits. Stories also metabolise trauma - which is what a lot of people struggling with chronic body burnout and “mystery” symptoms experience on a day to day basis.    So we are incredibly grateful to the AWESOME Jase, for coming on the show today, to spread the love and healing with others, as he shares his own ending body burnout journey.    In this episode, Jason chats to Chris & Filly about:   How his health issues started - back as a kid, skin always felt hot, then grew to skin rashes, fungal sores, and later in life chronic back pain that was diagnosed as the autoimmune condition Ankylosing Spondylitis. Jase talks about ALLLLLL the things he tried to address his body burnout symptoms: physios, osteopaths, naturopaths and supplements, with little results. He then went on a food elimination diet, and finally saw improvements in symptoms, especially taking out legumes and grains. But…a healthy body should be able to eat all healthy things. So, Jase, along with his wife, reached out to Chris & Filly Functional Medicine to get to the root-cause. We go over lab-testing results: stage 2 adrenal fatigue, low adrenaline & serotonin, bacterial overgrowth, super depleted microbiome and detox issues, and the relief that came with getting some ANSWERS. Jase also talks about healing the deeper ROOT-root-causes, that led to body system burnout: social expectations of pushing, doing, achieving, people pleasing, and unconscious core beliefs around self-shame.  Jase takes us to the moment he knew the Ending Body Burnout Method was solving his issues (only a month in!), and how his skin issues are significantly better, and back pain is almost always at 0/10, and the brain retraining tools he has learned and continues to use to turn off pain.  Show Note Links:    Take our Ending Body Burnout Assessment at: https://chrisandfillyfm.scoreapp.com/   Check out how you can work with us here: https://www.chrisandfilly.fm/work-with-us  Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.
