Chris & Filly are joined by Laini Oldfield on today’s podcast episode. We ADORE Laini and her infectious passion for all things wholefood and health, and we know you are going to LOVE her too. She is also probably the most knowledgeable person we know when it comes to using FOOD AS MEDICINE, and she is so incredibly generous in sharing everything that she knows.    About Laini Oldfield   Laini is a mum of 5 and founder of: STACKD Blends Co and The No Fuss Nourished Method. She's coached tens of thousands of people on how to harness the power of nutrition to feel amazing, through her flagship free challenges Wholefood My Family, the Supercharged Smoothie Bootcamp, and the Fibre Challenge.    She has a particular love for helping parents learn easy ways to get their kids eating healthier, without them even knowing, through her monthly coaching membership. Unconventional smoothies are Laini's obsession, and she's developed her own range of Smoothie Booster Blends designed to target specific health goals and provide a complete and balanced meal with maximum nutrition, as well as lots of other wholefoods blends to make life easier.    When she's not with her own family or coaching other families, you'll probably find her at the beach. In today’s episode, Laini talks to Chris & Filly about:   How she got into the world of wholefoods after having kids, and building an incredible community of wholefood seekers. Laini gets personal and vulnerable, by sharing her own body burnout story - after years of burning the candle at both ends, over-doing, and getting stuck in business, Laini’s “brain broke”! And her body overtime sent her clear signals that enough is enough: bloating, chronic pain, fatigue, weight gain, irritability, bouts of irrational anger, the list goes on.  Laini takes us through how she is currently addressing her body burnout - working on body system imbalances, food as medicine, and finally addressing her “stress-load” & putting herself first (aka Laini First Project!) We dive into her passion for food as medicine and why Stackd Blends Co was born. She shares incredible stories of customers using her Smoothie and other wholefood blends, see hormonal improvements, mood, energy & gut improvements - using JUST FOOD!   Laini talks about her flagship free challenge kicking off 28th Aug, the Supercharged Smoothie BootCamp & why all our listeners should get in on this incredible FREE training (you can join here!).  We finish off with some great EASY tips on how people currently struggling with body burnout, can begin their journey into healthy, healing eating.   Show Note Links:    Save your seat to our 3-Day Beat Body Burnout & Perfectionism Live Event here   Apply for the Ending Body Burnout Method here    Sign up for Laini’s FREE Supercharged Smoothie Camp here   Check out Laini’s Stackd Wholefood Blends here   Connect with Laini on FaceBook here   Connect with Laini 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.

Filly is joined by Dr Ali Young on today’s podcast episode. I’m a big fan of Dr Ali’s work, and how she is championing working mums and mums running health businesses. Plus, I think she is just an awesome and sparkly human being in general! We have SOOOO many things in common, right down to our own body burnout stories, old dysfunctional patterns that led to burnout, how we went about healing our bodies, and why we now do what we do. I know you’re going to love this convo!   About Dr Ali Young   Dr Ali is a Health & Business Strategist for Working Mums owning health practices. After 20 years in practice, authoring her book Work.Mama.Life, and recovering through her own burnout journey, she is determined to support working mums in the healthcare space to show up for themselves first...and then to create meaningful connections & profitable businesses.    In today’s episode, Dr Ali talks to Filly about:   Dr Ali shares her own body burnout story - juggling a thriving practice, giving birth to two kids within less than two years, a couple of international moves to support her husband’s career, and how her body eventually screamed out with fatigue, nerve pain, and unexplained rapid 10kg weight gain. We chat about how Dr Ali recovered from body burnout, including working with an integrative doctor and doing stool testing, parasite cleansing and DNA testing to support lifestyle choices and detoxing. We dive into the reason why Dr Ali developed body burnout in the first place. Yes it was a bucketload of doing “all the things”, and poor lifestyle choices (lots of coffee, wine and high intensity exercise), but deeper than that was the subconscious belief that she needed to be everything for everyone. Next up, we move into Dr Ali’s book, Work. Mama. Life., which looks at how mothers can balance work, motherhood and life, by breaking patriarchal norms and expectations, nourishing the body with good food, movement, sleep, connection and calm, and how to align your beliefs and values to live a beautiful and guilt-free life, that doesn’t drain your cup. Dr Ali also shares why she transitioned into business coaching for mums owning health businesses. We chat about how common burnout is in health practitioners, and the irony of it, and why there is a gap in the market to support working mums in healthcare (this is where Dr Ali steps in and shines her magic!).  Finally Dr Ali gives us a glimpse into a day in the life of a mum in business, and how she prevents burnout, and easy first steps to take to climb out of the spiral of body burnout.   Show Note Links:    Grab Dr Ali’s book Work.Mama.Life here   Download Dr Ali’s FREE Reclaim Your Mama Time audit   Join Dr Ali’s FREE FaceBook Group for Health Business Mama’s here   Connect with Dr Ali on Instagram here   Connect with Dr Ali on LinkedIn 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.

Last year, Filly did a webinar on Histamine Intolerance for Natural Medicine Week. It was a fantastic deep-dive into all things histamine & we thought it would make a great poddie episode today. If you’d prefer to WATCH this webinar, head here.  Filly has navigated her own histamine issues, and we would say close to 50% of our clients have a histamine issue when they first start working with us - it’s not often WHY they came to us, but it’s a common condition that arises at some point when you’re experiencing a lot of stress & body burnout symptoms…and you’ll soon find out why on today’s show!   What does reflux, anxiety and itchy eyes/skin have in common? They are all common signs of histamine intolerance. Histamine is a substance that is made inside the body, as well as in certain foods. It’s normal and natural, and if your body is balanced you can easily excrete any excess histamine. If, however, you have imbalances in your body that are increasing your histamine load, you can develop histamine intolerance symptoms. Other symptoms include allergy-like symptoms, like runny nose, sneezing, hives, asthma, chronic cough, as well as gut issues, headaches, joint pain, fatigue and insomnia.   In today’s episode, Filly covers: Imbalances in the body that lead to histamine intolerance  Functional medicine lab testing used to diagnose imbalances Root causes of histamine intolerance Therapeutic steps to address histamine intolerance How to use a low-histamine diet to address histamine intolerance Q&A with live attendees  Show Note Links:    Download the Low-Histamine Diet at this webinar link   Watch Filly’s Histamine Link webinar 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 by Monique Catteral on today’s podcast episode. Mon has an incredible story of overcoming severe body burnout, and how her recovery led her into the world of holistic healing, regulating the nervous system and breathwork. It was such a beautiful conversation, and I know you’ll be serenaded by Mon’s calmness :)   About Monique Catteral   Mon is a well-being coach specialising in relaxation & stress management with easy to apply tools using the mind, body & breath. She takes a holistic approach, inspiring prevention over cure, living over existing & human BEINGS over human doings. Mon runs relaxation & breathwork  programs, exam prep in schools, youth yoga, and teaches mindful pilates & is an Access Bars practitioner. Mon is accredited in health coaching, breath coaching, youth yoga, pilates, meditation, mindfulness & Access Bars therapy.    In today’s episode, Mon talks to Filly about:   How Mon experienced body burnout for 16-months when her 17yo son was diagnosed with a life-threatening infectious disease. Mon shares what body burnout looked like for her - extreme fatigue, mental shutdown, and emotional breakdown.  Mon shares deeper root-causes of her burnout - while “stress” was the catalyst, the deeper root-cause was a traumatic trigger response of being stuck in a hypervigilant stress state, as well as deeper self-limiting beliefs about herself that caused people pleasing and rescuing patterns, that left her own cup dangerously empty.  We then dive into how Mon recovered from body burnout using a holistic approach - weekly massages, wholefood nutrition and nutraceuticals, and taking care of herself with breathwork, yoga, nature, sunshine and leaning into things that bring her joy.  Mon takes us through the physical and mental benefits of breathwork, and how you can easily implement it into your day. She also gifts our listeners with a short body awareness breathwork technique, that you can listen back to whenever you need some self-regulating calm :)    Show Note Links:    Connect with Mon on FaceBook here   Connect with Mon 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.

In this “Connect The Dots” episode, Chris & Filly dive into a listener's case around chronic pain, showing up as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, migraines, endometriosis, as well as chronic fatigue, anxiety & OCD. They talk about physical inflammatory triggers that often cause painful autoimmune conditions, including out-of-control stress chemicals, gut health, food, detox issues, environmental toxins and pharmaceutical medication cocktails. They suggest best functional lab tests to run, to get to the bottom of body system imbalances associated with inflammation.  They also dive into metaphysical inflammatories - unresolved trauma, trapped negative emotions, dysfunctional beliefs and patterns - and how these manifest physically as pain in the body.  The episode finishes off with new cutting-edge research about pain, and how it is the brain that controls the sensation of pain in the body, and how we can retrain the brain to switch pain signals off (yep - eradicate physical symptoms with the power of our mind! How awesome is that?!).   Show Note Links:    If you’re keen to get your case workshopped (anonymously - you won’t personally be on the episode), fill in this application form.

Chris & Filly are joined by Glen Carlson from Dent Global on today’s podcast episode. Glen brings a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to juggling entrepreneurship, business growth AND overcoming & preventing body burnout. Glen helped us out in a pivotal moment of our own “business burnout,” so we are so excited to have him on our show as he shares his insights on how you can get out of the hustle & grind burnout cycle, look after your health, and have epic growth in business and in life.    About Glen Carlson   Glen Carlson is the co-founder of Dent Global, best known for the award-winning ‘Key Person of Influence’ book and business accelerator programs.    From the chaos of the GFC, Glen has built Dent into what Entrepreneur.com refers to as ‘The world's leading brand accelerator’.  With 5 business acquisitions under his belt and a team of 45 across 12 timezones, Dent has shaped the trajectory of hundreds of best-selling authors, TED speakers, and multi-award-winning fast-growth companies. In 2021 Virgin named Dent as ‘business enabler of the year’ and the Growing Business Awards named them ‘Business Advisor of the year.’   Glen’s passion is helping entrepreneurs stand out, scale up and use their business to make a positive impact in the world or as he would say, make a dent in the universe.   Glen has graciously offered all our listeners a free copy of the Key Person of Influence book, which you can grab in the show notes.    In today’s episode, Glen talks to Chris & Filly about: Glen shares how he got into the world of entrepreneurship after travelling the world on a yacht as a teenager with his parents, and seeing the potential of having more fun, freedom and adventure by having his own business. We then dive into the nitty-gritty of when Glen experienced significant body burnout, adrenal fatigue and anxiety when his business Dent Global and the Key Person of Influence business accelerator sky-rocketed in growth (making MILLIONS more). Glen reflects on the deeper root-causes of his body burnout, especially around how he was responding to “stress” - or more specifically how he was creating “stress” internally. Glen shares how he healed from body burnout: how he made massive changes in the structure of his business to support his energy and health (and that of his “burned-out” staff), how he did regular lab testing and took targeted supplements, and how he prioritised self-care. We then dive into Glen’s Key Person of Influence business accelerator program, and Chris & Filly share their own experience of being in the program, and how it led to their own business success, and supported health and wellbeing as it reduced the “stress” of trying to run a successful business (Glen gave us the process: the 5 P’s - pitch, publish, product, profile, partnerships). Glen shares how becoming a Key Person of Influence in your industry helps business owners get out of hustle & grind & burnout. We also chat about self-doubt and the Imposter Monster and how this shows up in both business and health, and how you can overcome it by surrounding yourself with a community that shows you it IS possible to get what you want. Glen ends with a punchy bit of advice: if you are showing signs of burnout act now! Because the reality is, if you don’t, it’s only going to get worse.  Show Note Links:    Grab your FREE copy of the book Key Person of Influence   Grab your FREE copy of ScoreCard Marketing here   Connect with Glen on Instagram Connect with Glen on Linkedin  Connect with Glen on FaceBook   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 by Dr Kristy Goodwin on today’s podcast episode. Dr Kristy is amazing - you’re going to LOVE the wealth of knowledge she brings about our techno-habits in our modern digital world, how it’s connected to burnout, and simple, research-backed micro-habits you can implement to tame your tech-habits (and therefore support your brain & adrenal glands!).     About Dr Kristy Goodwin   Having personally experienced how our always-on digital culture is compromising people’s wellbeing and is counter to optimal and sustainable performance, award-winning researcher and speaker Dr Kristy Goodwin is on a mission to promote employee wellbeing and bolster workplace productivity in an always-on digital world. As one of Australia’s digital wellbeing and productivity experts, she shares practical brain-based hacks to tame tech habits and the latest evidence-based strategies to decode the neurobiology of peak performance in the technological era.reverting to phone bans or constant digital detoxes. In Dr Kristy’s latest book, Dear Digital, We need to talk. . . she shares how to use technology in ways that are aligned to your neurobiology (how your brain and body are designed to work). Senior business leaders and HR executives from the country’s top organisations engage Dr Kristy to help them promote employee digital wellbeing and performance. Her roster of clients includes Apple, Deutsche Bank, Bank of Queensland, Challenger, Westpac, DLA Piper,Westpac, McDonald’s, Westfield, Randstad, the Reserve Bank of Australia, Cuscal, State Street, National Broadband Network and Foxtel.   In today’s episode, Dr Kristy talks to Filly about: We dive straight into the personal stuff: Dr Kristy shares her own “body burnout” story, where she developed insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, gut issues and vasal-vagal episodes (fainting & fitting). She identifies deeper root-causes of addictive-doing, perfectionism, and the underlying driver of getting external validation to feel good about herself. We then get into Dr Kristy’s work and her latest book, Dear Digital…We Need To Talk. Dr Kristy covers key “digital diagnostic” signs and symptoms to look out for, if you’re in techno-burnout (eek - think “toilet tweeting” and “email apnea”) We chat about establishing digital borders and boundaries, especially around sleep (sleep is medicine, remember!).
