Functional Medicine with Chris and Filly

Philippa “Filly” Belet, co-founder of Chris & Filly Functional Medicine, for a powerful conversation about body burnout, functional medicine, nervous system regulation, and the deeper roots of chronic health challenges.

Filly shares her personal journey from struggling with chronic health issues to discovering that healing can require looking beyond symptoms. She explains how gut health, stress, the nervous system, trauma, and deeply rooted beliefs can interact—and why understanding these connections became central to her approach.

Together, Richard and Filly explore the gut-brain connection, people-pleasing and hypervigilance, the impact of childhood experiences, functional lab testing, and the importance of addressing both the physical and emotional dimensions of burnout.

Filly also challenges the idea that the body is something we need to fight or “fix.” Instead, she encourages us to become curious about what our symptoms may be communicating and to develop a healthier relationship with our bodies.

Healing isn’t always about pushing harder or finding another quick fix. Sometimes it begins with listening to what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about burnout, self-trust, and a more integrated approach to healing.
