www.chrisandfilly.fm/method Hello, we are Chris & Filly, a husband and wife power couple, on a mission to end burnout in parents & biz owners. Our vision is to forge a thriving tribe of high-achieving POWER PARENTS...not just in Australia, but around the world! We believe that no amount of success can compensate failure in the family. It is every child’s human right to grow up healthy, happy and loved. And it starts with YOU the parents. We see a world free of abuse, where all children grow up in a home with a loving, connected and healthy family - children led by POWER PARENTS! Both of us have come from a place of being burned-out, overwhelmed & disconnected from our family, our passion, and our sense of purpose in this world. It was at our own (body, mind & relationship) breaking points, that we went on a search for solutions to our issues. While working in the health industry, we realised that it was NOT enough to just support the physical body - doing body work was not enough to achieve true healing, or to even tap in to what people really want deep down...and that is happiness. From here we created the Power Parent Project to help busy, burned-out parents & biz owners become super healthy, highly productive & beautifully connected to themselves, their family & their purpose in this world! We heal our parents using the 6 key power parent principles: body, thoughts & feelings, behaviour, environment, lifestyle & relationships. We're holding a special (free) LIVE webclass all about getting to the root cause of your burnout. Go here to register - https://www.chrisandfilly.fm/pl/2147518672

When I see a post-vac injury case in clinic, especially when the client has been experiencing chronic stress before the jab, these are the body system imbalances I'd be thinking about... 🔬

1. Adrenal dysfunction - chronic stress depletes your ability to regulate stress hormones, which can make you more susceptible to have a "freak out" reaction to the jab ⚡

2. Brain inflammation - the inflammatory cytokine storm that can occur post vaccine can cause a chronic case of brain inflammation 🧠

3. Gut imbalances - If there is an underlying case of pathogens, leaky gut, and/or SIBO causing inflammation before the jab, it can mean that your bucket load of inflammation is already at tipping point. Add in a vaccine & it can then erupt as symptoms 🌀

4. Nutrient deficiencies - stress and immune activation that occurs before/after a vaccine can burn through B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin D, iron, zinc, and omega-3s faster than you can replenish them 💊

5. Compromised detox pathways - if your body was already struggling to properly clear chemicals and toxins, adding in the jab can be "too much" for the liver & detox pathways to handle, leading to an accumulation of stuck toxins and inflammation 🔥

Addressing these body system imbalances through targeted functional lab testing and protocols, while also rewiring the brain-body system is crucial in over-coming chronic health issues post a vaccine. ✨

Yummo - I love sneaking in our herb garden into anything edible that we can, including sweet treats!

In this "Connect The Dots" episode, we dive into a listener's case - a lady who is struggling with autonomic nervous system dysregulation, POTs & vestibular migraines, post COVID lockdowns, stress & COVID vaccine. 🌀

We cover:

⚡ How underlying imbalances + vaccines can produce a cytokine storm

🧠 How autonomic dysregulation affects heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation.

🔬 Potential physical body system imbalances: immune activation, adrenal dysfunction, gut imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and detox issues.

💔 Core belief "I'm not safe" keeps the nervous system in fight-or-flight and reinforces symptoms

✨ Healing requires addressing both physical testing and metaphysical rewiring

Vaccine injuries (yep, I'm going here!).

They don't cause chronic illness in everyone - but when your body is already dealing with underlying imbalances like chronic stress, gut pathogens, nutritional deficiencies, mast cell activation, or an over-load of stress & trauma, an additional stressor like a vax can tip an already overflowing bucket into a full-blown inflammatory crisis. ⚡

In this week's Connect The Dots podcast episode, Chris & I dig into the topic of autonomic nervous system dysregulation, POTS, and vestibular migraines.

I break down how post-vaccination reactions in susceptible individuals aren't *only* the vaccine itself, but about what happens when your immune system & nervous system are already compromised and struggling to regulate. 🌀

To understand this, you'll need to get behind the concept of a "cytokine storm". Big word - I know!!

Cytokine storms occur when your immune system releases unusually large amounts of signalling proteins called cytokines that normally help fight off pathogens and build tissue.

In a healthy system, this immune response activates when you get a jab, does its job, and then shuts off after a few days or a week. But when underlying imbalances exist, the immune response doesn't shut off properly, leading to chronic inflammation, autoimmune reactions, and a hyper-vigilant nervous system trying to find the "danger" long after the initial trigger is gone. 🔥

For some people, this can cause chronic autonmonic nervous system dysregulation, POTs & vestibular migraines.

I remember feeling like I was just one fingernail away from losing it all... 💔

The anxiety was crushing. Debilitating. It wasn't just affecting my mental health - my gut was a mess, my hormones were all over the place, my body ached constantly. 😔

I'd go to the doctor and they'd say my tests were 'fine.' But I wasn't fine. I was far from fine. 🌀

My family life was suffering. My work was suffering. I felt like I was at breaking point, and no one could tell me why. 😰

That's when I learned something that changed everything: anxiety isn't just 'in your head.' 🧠

For me, it was a perfect storm - depleted stress hormones from years of pushing through, gut imbalances affecting my brain chemistry, poor detoxification allowing toxins to build up in my nervous system, and unconscious patterns keeping me stuck in fight-flight. ⚡

The breakthrough came when I stopped guessing and started testing. Functional medicine testing revealed the body systems that contributing to the anxiety - and finally, I had a roadmap from the phsyical side of things to start healing. 💡

After resolving my own anxiety & helping thousands of other stressed-out, burned-out people find their calm, I've created a short & punchy guide to help you understand the Top 5 Root Causes of Anxiety. 💫

Because you deserve answers, not more guessing. 🌟

I recently did a sound healing session at 's Exhale retreat.

I love some good sound healing magic.

I was so excited to drop into the session. But for most of the 90 mins, something disturbing happened.

I spent most of the session stuck in my mental mind - even though the sound healing was lovely, my thoughts were racting.

I got frustrated that I wasn't having a profound breakthrough!

And then, I caught myself.

And practiced what I preach to many of our clients - stop trying to force a result, stop judging and holding tightly onto a perceived outcome...instead, lean into the "not feeling", surrender into the experience, exactly as it is.

And that's when something magical happened.

When I stopped fighting the restlessness and simply surrendered to it—allowing the antsy part of me to exist without needing to fix or change it. The moment I did that, it dissolved on its own because there was no longer any danger.

And then minutes later. The beautiful sund healing practitioner physically touched my feet and shoulders while singing over me.

It was then I cracked open.

I burst into tears, and the words "mother love" flooded into my mind & body. I felt it deep in my womb space, this profound realisation that I'd been craving touch - physcial and a deep soul touch - and a specific quality of nurturing, protective, unconditional mother energy. 🌟

By the end of the retreat, I understood that coming home wasn't about achieving some new version of myself—it was about returning to the parts of me that had been waiting to be seen, touched, and loved without needing to perform or prove anything. ✨

Take a peek into today's group call inside the Ending Body Burnout Method! 🌟

In today's workshop, we'll take our self-empowered clients through a guided neurosensory practice designed to help you create safety in your body by learning to tune into what you system is asking for, and follow your biological impulses. ✨

Too often growing up, we are conditioned that following our biological impulses are "bad" (i.e. don't fart/burp, sit still, cover your mouth when you cough, don't cry, etc). This hinders us in adult years, causing us to "hold in" our bodily impulses and needs, and essentially bottling up "stress" & cutting off from the body. 🌀

This practice will help our clients reconnect with their body's innate knowing, build capacity to hear what their biology needs, and support their system to move out of stress responses with greater ease & into safeness. 💫 🌟

PREPARATION: We'd love our clients to really explore movement in this session, including lying down. So make sure to create enough space to lie down & move around & position your devices accordingly

In this week's episode, I talk to Chris about my recent experience at Melissa Marsden's Exhale Retreat. 💫 Sit back, and get ready for a very "around the fire" type personal conversation as I share the transformational shifts she experienced at the retreat ✨

In today's episode, I talk to Chris about:

🌀 The low-grade apathy I had been feeling for several months, in all areas of my life

💡 Setting a clear intention to break through the apathy at the retreat, and why intentions are important to set (and how to do it)

💔 A pivotal question that was connected to the apathy: "Where are you sacrificing yourself in order to keep the peace?"

🌟 The curated experiences - plant medicine ceremonies, sound healing, breathwork, meditation, journalling - & how they created profound breakthroughs

💝 How I realised I had been craving "touch" and a deep "mother love", and how by the end of the retreat I had returned back home

A few weeks ago, I went on the most beautiful, transformative retreat - Exhale - held by one of our past Ending Body Burnout Method clients

Mel started the retreat by asking a pivotal question: "Where am I sacrificing myself in order to keep the peace?"

I went into the retreat, looking for clarity (and hopefully a breakthrough!) of some low-grade apathy I'd been feeling a few months prior.

So I sat with the question. I struggled with it for a bit first, because I didn't feel like I'd been sacrificing myself through people pleasing or over-giving to others, to try to keep peace.

As I sat. I felt stumped.

I leant into the stumped-ness.

And then I got my answer: I had been sacrificing a part of myself to keep peace with another part of myself.

What became clear as I sat with this question throughout the retreat was that there was a part of me I'd been suppressing because another part believed letting her emerge would be dangerous or unsafe. 😔

The apathy I'd been feeling wasn't emotional numbness. It was a protective mechanism keeping me from stepping into my next level of growth.

Through conversations on the retreat about the mind, heart, and womb, I recognised how heavily I lead from my mind (data, science, logic, next steps) while my heart and womb space were being squashed. 🧠

My heart wanted freedom, spaciousness, fun, and play, while my womb space held a grounded mother love energy—both not being allowed to fully express.

Tune in to the full episode tomorrow, where I go deep into my retreat experience & the shifts I made by the end 🎧
