In this episode, Les Raymond speaks with Filipa Bellette, Co-Founder of Chris & Filly Functional Medicine, award-winning functional medicine practitioner, and transformational coach. Filipa shares her expertise on ending body burnout, exploring the deep-rooted causes of stress and chronic fatigue. Drawing from her own journey and over a decade of professional experience, she offers practical strategies for holistic healing. From understanding the science of body burnout to actionable steps for recovery, this episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone seeking better health and well-being.

Key Takeaways

1. What is Body Burnout? Filipa explains the concept of body burnout as more than workplace exhaustion, highlighting its deep impact on body systems, emotional health, and cellular function.
2. The Invisible Load on Women: Women often face a unique "invisible load," stemming from societal pressures and multitasking, which contributes significantly to chronic stress and burnout.
3. Uncovering Root Causes: Addressing burnout requires more than lifestyle changes; uncovering and resolving deep-seated unconscious beliefs and emotional patterns is key.
4. The Science of Stress: Chronic stress leads to physical symptoms, including hormonal imbalances, gut issues, and inflammation, signaling deeper systemic problems.
5. Functional Medicine in Action: Functional lab tests can reveal underlying issues like adrenal fatigue, detoxification problems, and nutrient deficiencies, forming the foundation for targeted healing.
6. The Power of Mindset Reprogramming: Filipa shares how reprogramming core beliefs, such as transitioning from feeling weak to empowered, led to profound shifts in her physical and emotional health.
7. Nutrition and Lifestyle Adjustments: Simple but impactful changes, such as improving hydration, optimizing nutrition, and reducing processed foods, can support the body's healing process.
8. The Role of Somatic Healing: Filipa emphasizes the importance of addressing blocked energy and trauma stored in the body through techniques like somatic release and mindfulness practices.
9. Balancing Physical and Emotional Healing: While supplements and functional medicine address physical symptoms, long-term recovery requires tackling emotional and mental patterns simultaneously.
10. Small Steps Lead to Big Results: Healing is a journey; starting with small, manageable steps tailored to individual capacity can gradually lead to transformative results.

In this insightful episode, Les Raymond sits down with Elliot Overton, a nutritionist and expert in thiamine (vitamin B1) therapy. Elliot discusses the overlooked importance of thiamine and its essential role in energy production, mitochondrial function, and overall health. He explains how modern diets, often high in processed foods and low in micronutrients, can lead to significant deficiencies, contributing to various health issues. From the connection between thiamine and carbohydrate metabolism to its impact on conditions like fatigue, neuropathy, and gastrointestinal issues, Elliot offers a compelling look at how optimizing thiamine levels can support well-being.

Key Takeaways:

The Critical Role of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) in Energy and Mitochondrial Health:

Discover why thiamine is essential for cellular energy production and mitochondrial function, with deficiencies often leading to chronic conditions like fatigue, neuropathy, and cognitive decline.

Pain is not typically a desirable sensation, especially when it becomes chronic. The resistance and upset can make the experience worse. Pain is a message from your body and if you ignore that message, it will continue to get louder and stronger. By simply focusing on, observing, and accepting the sensations as they are, this practice can be transforming and releasing. This meditation will help you focus your mind and energy on your experience with acceptance to provide physical and mental relaxation and pain relief.

While this meditation practice is not a substitute for medical treatment if needed, it can help to ease your suffering and experience a relaxed state.

Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode, Les Raymond sits down with Michael Ruscio, a renowned functional medicine practitioner, to delve into the intricate relationship between thyroid health and gut function. They explore common misconceptions surrounding thyroid symptoms, the limitations of relying solely on blood tests, and the importance of a holistic approach to health.
