#394 3 Ways Stress Triggers Skin & Gut Issues—And What to Do About It with Christa Biegler, RD

Send us a text

This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I'm talking about something huge that most people don’t realize: stress is often the hidden trigger behind gut and skin issues. If you’ve been struggling with eczema, rashes, bloating, or food sensitivities and nothing seems to help, stress could be the missing piece.

In this episode, I break down three major ways stress impacts your body, from depleting key nutrients to shutting down digestion and suppressing immune function. I also share practical strategies for rebuilding resilience, replenishing nutrients, and supporting your gut and skin so you can start feeling better for good.
