109. The Restrictive Protocol Trap: Your Brain's False Safety Net


Listen Later

Ever notice how you gravitate back to strict food rules and restrictive protocols when healing feels uncertain? In this episode, we (Chris & Filly) uncover why returning to elimination diets and rigid protocols isn't actually about healing at all - it's your brain's clever way of seeking control, and it will keep you stuck in a perpetual cycle of dis-ease. 

 

Want to learn more about how to rewire your brain to heal body burnout and chronic health issues? Join our FREE coaching week coming up in May.

 

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:

 

  • Types of “restricted” protocols
  • How to determine if doing a restrictive protocol is resourceful or unresourceful 
  • Real-life examples of yoyo-ing (unresourcefully) back to a restrictive protocol
  • Why we yoyo back to a restrictive protocol when things aren’t “going well” from a neuroscience perspective
  • Why restrictive protocols will never work for long-term healing
  • Deeper messages you are sending your unconscious mind and the deeper part of your self, when you run back to a restrictive protocol 
  • How to break the “symptom flare up” > restrictive protocol cycle, so that you can heal
