The Body’s Response to Betrayal: Why You Can’t Sleep, Eat, or Think Clearly
with Filipa Bellette
Infidelity doesn’t just affect your heart—it impacts your body, mind, and energy in profound ways. In this episode, betrayal recovery coach and somatic attachment therapist Lora Cheadle sits down with functional medicine expert Filipa Bellette to explore the connection between burnout, betrayal trauma, and body-based healing. Learn why chronic stress, exhaustion, and even autoimmune issues often accompany betrayal—and discover practical, science-backed tools to help you reclaim your health, energy, and emotional stability.
Top 3 Takeaways:
- Betrayal Trauma & Burnout Are Linked – Many women mistake betrayal trauma for burnout, but the emotional devastation of infidelity triggers deep physiological responses that deplete your energy, gut health, and mental clarity.
- Your Body Holds the Key to Healing – If you feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck in obsessive thought loops, your dopamine levels and nervous system regulation may be the root cause. Learn how nutrition, functional medicine, and somatic healing can restore balance.
- You Can’t Heal in a Toxic Environment – Whether staying or leaving, true recovery requires a supportive environment. Learn how to identify hidden stressors, rebuild your nervous system, and protect your health as you navigate infidelity recovery.
