LIVE Root-Cause Coaching - Getting to the deepest core wound underneath pushing-through, burnout, exhaustion & bloating
May 05, 2025
Listen to the full episode.
At Chris and Filly Functional Medicine, we understand that body burnout often masks deeper emotional patterns and identity struggles. Through our holistic health approach and the revolutionary Ending Body Burnout Method, we help high achievers discover the ROOT-root cause of their physical symptoms and transform their relationship with themselves.
The Hidden Connection Between Athletic Achievement and Body Burnout
In the world of integrative medicine and natural healing, we often encounter high-performing individuals whose drive for excellence masks deep-seated emotional wounds. Through our work at Chris and Filly Functional Medicine, we've observed how athletic identity can become both a shield and a prison, leading to exhaustion, bloating, sleep issues, and anxiety.
Understanding the Root Cause of Pushing Through
The journey to healing begins with recognising how childhood experiences shape our adult behaviours. Many high achievers develop their drive as a response to early wounds - whether from bullying, emotional suppression, or the constant pursuit of external validation. These patterns, while initially protective, can eventually lead to serious health consequences.
The Metaphysical Side of Healing: Spark
Our unique approach to functional nutrition and alternative medicine includes what we call "Spark" - a critical component often overlooked in traditional healing modalities. This process delves deep into the unconscious mind, addressing the root causes of body burnout by identifying and transforming deep-seated beliefs that maintain illness patterns.
Breaking Free from Identity-Based Worth
Through our holistic wellness approach, we help clients recognise how attaching worth to athletic or achievement-based identities can create a cycle of pushing through and burning out. This realisation often marks the beginning of true healing from within.
The Role of Emotional Processing in Physical Health
At Chris and Filly Functional Medicine, we understand that repressed emotions from childhood - those moments of being told to "shut up" or "stop crying" - directly impact physical health. Through our Ending Body Burnout Method, we create a safe space for processing these emotions and releasing their hold on the body.
Transforming the Monster Under the Bed
One of the most powerful aspects of root cause medicine is identifying what we call "the monster under the bed" - those core beliefs that drive our dysfunctional patterns. By bringing these beliefs into consciousness, we can begin the process of rewriting our story and creating new, healthier patterns.
The Journey from External Validation to Inner Worth
Our personalised medicine approach helps clients transition from seeking external validation through achievement to finding genuine self-worth. This transformation is essential for sustainable health and wellbeing.
Creating a New Relationship with Self
Through preventative health and mind body medicine, we guide clients in developing a new relationship with themselves. As we often say, "It's never too late to have a happy childhood!" This perspective allows for deep healing and transformation.
The Power of Holistic ROOT-Root-Cause Healing
The Ending Body Burnout Method combines functional medicine testing, personalised protocols, and deep emotional work to address both the physical and psychological aspects of burnout. This comprehensive approach ensures lasting transformation rather than temporary symptom management.
