Ending Body Burnout Show

In this “Connect The Dots” episode, Chris & Filly dive into a listener's case - where we unpack a flareup of menopausal symptoms, brain fog, poor concentration and focus post the COVID vaccine, and how this may have activated a fast COMT and MTHFR gene mutation.



Chris & Filly cover:

The presenting symptoms, when it all started & what she’s tried so far

The important of asking specific and deeper questions, to get the full picture

“Life” - as a loaded statement

Stages of menopause, and body systems that lead to menopausal issues and brain fog

What MTHFR and COMT gene mutations actually are, and how they impact menopause

Looking at menopause and a fast COMT gene through the lens of feminine and masculine energies

The “not enough” loop

We have a powerful episode for you today. Chris (with Filly) is teaching a foundational SPARK lesson inside our Ending Body Burnout Method called “You’re Not Broken” — designed to help you finally drop the belief that something is wrong with you… and start seeing your symptoms, behaviours, and patterns through a completely different lens.



When you can land this belief in your system, you’ll start to see why you do what you do, why you’ve ended up where you are, and what needs to shift so you can create real change at the deepest level.



If your heart resonates with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing and you’re DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms, you can learn more about our Ending Body Burnout Method (doors open again in Oct).



In today’s episode, Chris will help you understand:

Why “you’re not broken” is a critical belief to end body burnout (and why the “something is wrong with me” narrative keeps people stuck)

The presupposition: every behaviour and symptom is meeting a need and every strategy has a positive intention (even if it’s showing up “wonky”)

The belief that your body craves health and that health is the default — and how sickness/weight/symptoms can be a form of protection from what you’re most afraid of

Why self-protection is actually an act of self-love (and how that reframe creates compassion and opens the door to change)

How to start doing this work in real life: awareness first, then digging deeper as you move through the Reckoning module

Tony Robbins’ 6 Core Needs as a simple diagnostic tool: certainty, variety, significance, love/connection, growth, and contribution — and how symptoms can be an unresourceful way of meeting those needs

LIVE Root-Cause Coaching - Money, Control & Healing the “Not Enough” Pattern



We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul live on our podcast. Isabel gets coached on the deeper “why” behind her money stress, the need to feel in control, and the tension that can build in a relationship when money conversations feel unsafe.

It’s a rare honour to listen in on a very personal coaching session, so a big thank you to Isabel for allowing us to publish this episode. And also give Isabel some virtual/energetic love and compassion, as you listen to this intimate conversation.

Today’s episode gives you a glimpse into our “metaphysical” side of healing inside our Ending Body Burnout Method (DOORS OPEN NOW!), 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. Join here.

And if you’d like to find out more and be coached by us, come join our FREE Rewire Your Brain to End Body Burnout event.



In this episode, Chris coaches Isabel on:

Why Isabel’s money stress isn’t just about dollars — it’s about control, trust, and safety (especially when relying on a partner’s income)

How survival seasons (farming life, money coming in once or twice a year, bills going out constantly) can wire the nervous system for scarcity and hypervigilance

Tracking the trigger in the body: the “exploding” stomach sensation, jaw tension, and the urge to cry — then shifting from forcing/control → allowing, curiosity, gentleness, and less resistance

The power of permission: noticing you are the one who opens the floodgates and you are the one who closes them — you control you

The belief underneath “taking it personally”: “I’m not good enough” — and the re-installation of “I am good enough” (anchored into the body)

Future pacing a new pattern in the marriage: more transparency, asking kinder questions, mindfulness, empathy, and the apologies that restore rapport
