Less Stressed Life: Helping You Heal Yourself
Welcome to the Less Stressed Life. If you’re here, I bet we have a few things in common. We’re both in pursuit of a Less Stressed Life. But we don’t have it all figured out quite yet. We’re moms that want the best for our families, health practitioners that want the best for our clients and women that just want to feel better with every birthday. We’re health savvy, but we want to learn something new each day. The Less Stressed Life isn’t a destination, it’s a pursuit, a journey if you will. On this show, we talk about health from the physical, emotional and nutritional angles and want you to know that you always have options. We’re here to help you heal yourself.

#408 Listener Q&A: Mast Cells, RA, Fertility Qs & Skin Signals with Christa Biegler, RD
It’s the end of June, and I’m wrapping up our listener-powered Q&A series with a jam-packed solo episode. I tackle three big questions from Sarah, Jeanine and Wendy that span swollen fingers after COVID, mast-cell mayhem, bumps around the eyes, fertility prep, and even rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks for being here!
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Swollen Fingers Post-COVID: Often linked to cellular stress, mineral imbalances (esp. low potassium), and mast cell activation. Support adrenals and mineral status first.
- Mast Cell & Eczema: Consider nervous system inputs (EMDR, breathwork, stress history), liver drainage, and gentle anti-inflammatory support like Holy Basil.
- Fertility Prep: Focus on mitochondrial support, nutrient repletion, progesterone monitoring, and nervous system regulation at least 3 months preconception.
- Skin Bumps Around Eyes: Often tied to liver sluggishness and drainage issues. Use face mapping as a tool; consider low-level toxin load and mineral depletion.
- RA vs. OA: RA = immune dysfunction; assess food reactivity (e.g., nightshades), gut health, and family toxin exposure. OA = structural; consider regenerative injections (e.g., prolozone).
- Family Symptom Clusters: Think environmental—evaluate for mold, radon, or metals (e.g., uranium on HTMA). Toxic burden may explain “mystery” symptoms.
