  Send us a textThis week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I’m sharing part 1 of my full health journey—the struggles, the mistakes, and the lessons learned—so you don’t have to spend 10 years figuring it out like I did. In this episode, I take you back to two pivotal health crises in my life: one in 2015 and another in 2017. This week, I’m focusing on the 2015 crisis—the wake-up call that led me to truly understand the connection between gut health, food sensitivities, and chronic inflammation.You’ll hear about the symptoms I ignored, the treatments that didn’t work, and how I finally started to heal after months of trial and error. Plus, I’m answering some of the biggest questions my clients have about what finally worked and why food sensitivities, histamine, and hormone imbalances are not the root cause of eczema.❓Questions about my journey or your own health struggles?

• #392 Resolving Eczema & Food Sensitivities Without Skipping Gluten

  Send us a textThis week, I’m bringing something new to The Less Stressed Life Podcast! I’m sitting down with my past client, Kelli, who went from struggling with eczema and food sensitivities to healing in a way that felt surprisingly linear. We don’t always expect healing to be a straight path, but when it happens, it’s a relief—and I wanted to dig into what made Kelli’s journey so effective. Kelli’s story is a great example of what’s possible when you take the right steps. If you’ve been told you just have to “manage” eczema or avoid certain foods forever, this episode will give you a new perspective. ❓Have a question❓ Submit it here: https://www.christabiegler.com/questionsKEY TAKEAWAYS:How Kelli resolved her eczema without long-term food restrictionsWhy food sensitivities aren’t always the root cause of symptomsThe nervous system work that helped speed up her healingHow she tackled mold exposure without getting overwhelmedWhy symptoms are just messages from your body—and how to respond WHERE TO FIND CHRISTA:Website: https://www.christabiegler.com/Instagram: @anti.inflammatory.nutritionistPodcast Instagram: @lessstressedlifeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lessstressedlifeLeave a review, submit a questions for the podcast or take one of my quizzes here: https://www.christabiegler.com/linksNUTRITION PHILOSOPHY:Over restriction is dead; if your practitioner is recommending this, they are stuck in 2010 and not evolvingWhole food is soul food and fed is bestSustainable, synergistic nutrition is in (the opposite of whack-a-mole supplementation & supplement graveyards)You don’t have to figure it out aloneDo your best and leave the restSPONSOR:Thanks to Jigsaw Health for sponsoring this episode!
