From health collapse to thriving
My name is Philip Western. I’m a specialist in treating mind-body treatments for anxiety, burnout and fatigue.
I myself recovered from debilitating fatigue and pain using a combination of holistic approaches, from somatic work, nutritional therapy, hypnotherapy, nervous system balancing and integrative medicine.
Since recovering, I have become a somatic therapy practitioner, hypnotherapist, and health coach, adding to extensive expertise in nutritional therapy.
I’ve applied this knowledge to successfully treat clients and now dedicate myself entirely to helping people overcome these conditions.
My main message: put preconceptions aside and experiment
We all have preconceptions about health and some of us never have to question them.
It took a level of despair and desperation to fuel my recovery. Each time I had to step outside of my medical paradigm felt like a leap into the unknown and I definitely didn’t get every leap right.
I tried hundreds of things which were expensive and didn’t work that well, but it came back to the 80-20 rule – even if 80% of what you try fails, the only way to find out what works for you (the magic 20%) is to experiment.
In order to be a true experimentalist, you have to release your preconceptions and sometimes work with partial evidence. If there was a 100,000-person double-blind, placebo-controlled study showing you the answers, your doctor would already have helped you. But they didn’t, which is why you are here.
There are many studies supporting all the approaches included, but not every approach works for every person in the same way. The results are always nuanced. You are a unique lock with a unique combination. To open the lock, you need to experiment. That means gradually making nutritional changes, trying mind-body therapies, making lifestyle adjustments and changing the way you see the world.
Next Steps
So let’s do this, together, let’s really give this a try. You can choose to spend more years searching around for answers online, or I can help you to give 100% of yourself to this process and improve your life.
Every minute, day, month and year spent in inertia from anxiety, burnout, and fatigue is time and opportunity you don’t get back, so the cost of inaction couldn’t possibly be higher. The time is now! I’ll do anything in my power to help you, as I remember the absolute darkness of being stuck in severe fatigue and pain. Recovery has been the biggest gift life could ever give me.
I’ve added some pictures here of my new dream life I have built. I live in a sunny climate, I have a baby boy, I am working with purpose to help others. Recovery was the hardest thing I ever did or ever will do, but my God, was it worth it!
