16. "Connect The Dots" - Fibromyalgia, Anxiety & Pain as a Loving Message

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.
