    71. LIVE Root-Cause Coaching - Grief, Multiple Sclerosis Flareup & “I’m not your mum, wipe your own bum!”

    71. LIVE Root-Cause Coaching - Grief, Multiple Sclerosis Flareup & “I’m not your mum, wipe your own bum!”

    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!

    70. Bridging The GP Gap In Mental Health with Dr Shiromi Wimalaguna

    70. Bridging The GP Gap In Mental Health with Dr Shiromi Wimalaguna

    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

    69. How To Not Stuff Up Your Kids & Protect Them From Body Burnout

    In this episode, Chris & Filly dive into a commonly asked question that almost every client who has children asks at some point: how do I NOT stuff up my kids? How can I make sure they don’t end up in body burnout, like I did? 

    They cover:


    Why you can’t actually protect your kids, fully
    Parent archetypes that will stuff up kids in different ways, and the archetype that is the least likely to stuff up your kid 
    How children create self-limiting beliefs that set them up for body burnout
    Steps to help your kids create more loving beliefs about themselves, and how to help them shift dysfunctional beliefs and charged events and emotions from the body
    A personal story about a time our daughter developed tics and how we helped her reprogram the deeper root-cause and free herself from anxiety and tics

    66. Intuitive Functional Medicine™️ & Healing The Whole Self with Erin Holt

    66. Intuitive Functional Medicine™️ & Healing The Whole Self with Erin Holt

    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
