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.

    #420 Revolutionizing Cancer Care: The Metabolic Terrain with Dr. Nasha Winters

    Send us a text This week on The Less Stressed Life, we’re digging into a bold reframe of cancer: it’s not just about the tumor, it’s about the terrain. Dr. Nasha Winters and I explore how nervous system state, mitochondrial health, oxygen, light, and circadian rhythm shape resilience and healing. We talk about why standard treatments often fall flat without nervous system regulation, how modern inputs overload our mitochondria, and the simple daily habits that create measurable shifts in terrain. If you’ve ever wondered why some therapies don’t stick—or how breathwork, fasting, light, and minerals could matter just as much as labs and scans—this conversation connects the dots. Find both Dr. Nasha's education courses & books here: https://drnasha.com/books-and-education KEY TAKEAWAYS: Your nervous system is step zero—nothing works if you’re stuck in fight-or-flightMitochondria are the hub of terrain and energy productionOxygen and breathwork are underrated tools in prevention and recoveryDaily rhythm matters: sunrise/sunset light, post-meal walks, and overnight fastingSome “healthy” supplements (iron, calcium, glutathione, methyl donors) can fuel cancer if misusedTiming is everything—especially with red light therapyABOUT GUEST: Dr. Nasha Winters is a global leader in integrative oncology and the author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. With decades of experience, she bridges conventional care with metabolic and complementary therapies while making complex science feel accessible and empowering.

    #419 Is Your Voice Repelling Someone? with Tracy Goodwin

    Send us a text This week on The Less Stressed Life, Tracy Goodwin joins me to talk about the Psychology of the Voice and how our subconscious experiences shape the way we sound. We dig into the seven layers of sound she hears in every voice, the “voice masks” that hide our authenticity, and the five wounds that often cause us to hold back or be misunderstood. Tracy shares how uncovering your real voice can dramatically change connection, confidence, and even business results. If you’ve ever felt like your voice didn’t fully represent who you are — or noticed people misinterpret you despite your best intentions — this conversation will help you understand the deeper psychology behind your voice and how to reveal the truest version of yourself. Take Tracy's quiz on how to unmask your unique voice personality: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/621a5513edca630018200027 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Your voice is shaped by subconscious “stories” created from early life experiences.Six of the seven layers of sound are protective masks; only the seventh is your authentic voice.Voice masks like “the cheerleader” or “the people pleaser” block connection and authenticity.The five core wounds — judgment, rejection, abandonment, belonging, and worthiness — are at the root of how we sound.Revealing your authentic voice improves relationships, influence, and trust.ABOUT GUEST: Voice researcher and coach Tracy Goodwin, owner of Captivate the Room and creator of Psychology of the Voice® has taught thousands of celebrities, professionals, and entrepreneurs to transform their voices from the inside out with her unique approach, which gets to the core of a person’s internal voice psychology and external sounds that are repelling, misrepresenting, and costing them 30-90% in impact, influence and revenue.

    #416 Why Skin Flares After Illness with Christa Biegler, RD, LN

    Send us a text This week on The Less Stressed Life, I’m talking about relapse and why skin often flares after illness, food poisoning, antibiotics, or stressful events. Instead of viewing relapse as failure, I want you to see it as feedback and your body’s way of asking for deeper support. I share a case study of a child whose skin cleared beautifully, only to flare again after back-to-back viruses and stress, and connect it to common patterns I see in practice. You will learn the physiological reasons relapse happens and how to respond strategically so you can support resilience instead of feeling defeated. If you have ever felt frustrated by flare-ups that seem to undo your progress, this episode will help you understand why it happens and how to move forward with clarity and confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Why skin flares are common after colds, food poisoning, or antibiotics • How immune “soldiers” and gut health play a role in relapse • The way stress impacts digestion, nutrient status, and flare frequency • Why relapse is never failure but feedback from your body • Practical strategies to support resilience including probiotics, bitters, and immunoglobulins 🗓️Book a Case Audit with Christa: https://www.christabiegler.com/momentum ❓Question for Christa?

    #415 Outgrowing AIP When You Have Autoimmunity with Alison Marras, NTP

    Send us a text This week on The Less Stressed Life, Alison Marras, NTP joins me to share her story of putting Hashimoto’s, PCOS, and IBS into remission—twice. After years of being dismissed by doctors, Alison discovered the power of nutrition, root-cause healing, and nervous system support. While the Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) diet helped her in the short term, Alison learned that restrictive eating wasn’t the end goal—addressing gut health, environment, and emotional resilience was. In this episode, we explore what it really takes to move beyond elimination diets, how mold exposure triggered her second Hashimoto’s flare, and why nervous system health is as important as diet in healing autoimmunity. If you’ve ever felt stuck on the elimination diet rollercoaster, worried about food sensitivities, or wondered how to actually achieve lasting remission, this conversation will help you see what’s possible. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why AIP can be a helpful tool—but not a long-term solutionAlison’s journey through misdiagnosis, Hashimoto’s, and finding the right supportHow mold exposure triggered her second autoimmune flareThe critical role of the nervous system in calming immune reactivityPractical steps to reintroduce foods and build resilience with autoimmunityABOUT GUEST: Alison Marras, NTP, is a holistic nutritionist, gut health expert, and author of The Paleo Gut Healing Cookbook.

    Send us a text This week on The Less Stressed Life, I’m sharing practical and root-cause strategies for reflux, indigestion, and heartburn. While acid blockers can provide short-term relief, they often miss the deeper issue — low stomach acid, mineral depletion, and the impact of chronic stress on digestion.

If you’ve dealt with heartburn, unexplained indigestion, or recurring reflux that keeps coming back no matter what you try, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to fix it for good.
