Why Functional Emotional Fitness™?

In the future, mental health will address the root of each problem and measure outcomes at every session, which will eliminate the need for meds, labels or personal history. Functional Emotional Fitness™ (FEF™) is based on the mechanism of thought, emotion, and behavior and represents this future now.

Regardless of whether your issue is motivation and focus with a fitness and weight loss program or effectively addressing depression, anxiety (PTSD), addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD or an eating disorder you must have tools that will enable you to take control of how you feel every day.

The Brain in Your Gut

With over 500 million neurons (brain cells) lining the gut and bi-directional communication with the brain via the vagus nerve, gut health must not only be considered in Functional Emotional Fitness™ (mental health) but must also be measured.

We take a close look at the effect the gut has on everything from the central nervous system to thought, emotion, and behavior and how to correct this for the ultimate detox and personal transformation.

About the author

With a focus on research and behavioral science for over 39 years and as the author of ten books on human behavior, Kelly Burris has made a substantial commitment to bringing science to the mental health industry. This is clearly represented by the Subconscious Restructuring™ (SR™) Process. SR™ is evidence-based Emotional Health without meds, labels, or personal history. SR™ measures 18 psychometrics, including depression, anxiety, and gut health. It is a system to benchmark normal as the first step to creating measurable change. Defining normal breaks, the cycles of therapy, medication dependency, and producing measurable progress toward desired outcomes at every session.

Subconscious Restructuring™ is the first step in positively directing our emotions to enable other modalities to work efficiently. If Emotional Fitness (mental health) is the objective, then Subconscious Restructuring™ is the tool needed to accomplish this objective.
