The EMMA LOVELL Show

Burnout isn’t just being tired.
And it’s not fixed by a weekend off.

In this powerful and honest conversation, I sit down with Filipa Bellette , co-founder of Chris & Filly Functional Medicine, to talk about what she calls body burnout, when chronic stress, perfectionism, and survival mode show up at a cellular level.

From working at sunrise and swimming with locals by afternoon, to Eurailing across Europe at 55, this episode explores what’s possible...

This one's a reflection from the thick of it. I recorded this during a really full on season. Personally, with my family, and in business. Everything felt like it hit at once.
