#393 Lessons from Christa’s Health Crisis with Eczema, Energy & Food Sensitivities, Part 1

Send us a text

This 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.
