EP 038 Filipa Bellette, Functional Medicine Practitioner and Clinical Nutritionist

Filipa Bellette had two pregnancies that resulted in traumatic consequences for her body, physically and emotionally. Her bladder stopped working, which required internal catheters and extreme dosages of antibiotics. Both of her newborns also suffered health issues. Inspired by a book on nutrition, Filipa worked on solving the devastation to her body and became an accredited Clinical Nutritionist, specializing in Functional Medicine. Filipa is the co-owner of Chris and Filly in Australia, where she and her husband help parents, especially moms, overcome health challenges brought on by pregnancy and professional burnout. Filipa is a PhD scholar and thought leader on Functional Medicine and Chris holds a degree is Human Movement Science. Together they have programs to help what Filipa calls Dragon Moms and Zombie Dads become healthier. In our conversation, we covered a range of topics, including: ·        Using science to diagnose gut issues. ·        Symptoms of post-baby depletion. ·        Prescribing one of 20 healing diets based on individual medical tests. ·        Getting to the cause of the Dragon Mom and the Zombie Dad. ·        The Power Parent Project.
