**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.

This week, Inna Segal joins me to talk about healing in a way that goes beyond quick fixes. Instead of looking for someone else to “fix” you, we break down what it actually means to participate in your own healing and why that shift is often the turning point.

We walk through the stages of healing, why people get stuck, and how the nervous system, past experiences, and overwhelm can slow progress. We also talk about how to start reconnecting with your body through simple tools like breath and awareness, and how symptoms can act as signals instead of something to suppress.

If you want to go deeper, Inna offers a couple of starting points to help you begin this work:
👉 The Secret Language of Your Body Masterclass

👉 Intuitive Masterclass

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Healing requires your participation
• There are stages to healing you can’t skip
• The nervous system has to be ready for change
• Symptoms can be signals, not just problems
• Overwhelm keeps you stuck early on
• Connection starts with breath, touch, and awareness

In this episode, I’m breaking down collagen and why it matters more than you might think as you age.

After a conversation about my own eyesight, I started digging into how collagen declines over time and how that impacts skin, joints, bones, and more. This episode walks through the different types of collagen, what to look for on labels, and how to actually use it in a way that makes sense.

I also share what the research shows, how much you need to see results, and why consistency matters if you want to notice a difference.

I’m inviting you to join me in a simple 30-day collagen challenge so you can test this instead of guessing.

#449 Metal circulation, sensitivities, binder types, post CV histamine with Christopher Shade, PhD Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

This week, Dr. Christopher Shade joins me to talk about detox in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of jumping straight into protocols or pushing things out too fast, we break down how detox really works in the body and why drainage has to come first.

We discuss what happens when toxins build up, how they move through the liver, kidneys, and lymph, and why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, and reactivity often point back to a system that isn’t draining well. We also get into why stress, inflammation, and even hormone shifts can slow detox down, keeping you stuck.

We also walk through binders, how they actually work, why different types matter, and how to use them in a way that supports your body instead of overwhelming it. This episode helps you think about detox in a more practical, step-by-step way so you can stop guessing and actually make progress.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Detox starts with drainage
• Pushing too fast = feeling worse
• Liver, kidneys, lymph all matter
• Stress shuts detox down
• Not all toxins act the same
• Binders help you clear, not recirculate
• Skin issues can be detox overload
• Histamine = overwhelmed system
• Start slow, build up 👍

ABOUT GUEST:
Christopher Shade, PhD, founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific, continues to be a driving force of development and innovation in Functional and Integrative Medicine, creating high-efficacy detoxification systems for wellness and longevity by employing high-bioavailability delivery systems for nutraceuticals and whole-plant extracts.

This week, Gerry Bulfin joins me to talk about water filtration in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of chasing the “best” filter, we break down how to think about your water based on what’s in it, whether you’re on city or well water, and what problems you’re trying to solve.

We discuss common issues like chlorine, hard water, iron, and bacteria, along with how things like old pipes or mineral buildup can impact both your home and your health. We also walk through the most common filtration options and when they actually make sense, so you can stop guessing and choose something that fits your situation.

If you want help simplifying this even further, you can download my free Water Testing & Filtration Guide here: https://www.christabiegler.com/watertestingfiltration

• Hard water causes buildup, appliance damage, and stubborn residue
• Iron and manganese are common and affect both water and hair

• Testing your water helps you avoid guessing and overspending

#447 Hydrogen Water Benefits, Delivery Methods and What to Know with Greg the Hydrogen Man Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

🚨🚨🚨Watch Christa's free training here: christabiegler.com/blueprint

This week, Greg “the Hydrogen Man” joins me to talk about molecular hydrogen and what you actually need to know. With hydrogen water gaining popularity, we break down what it is, how it works in the body, and why there’s so much confusion around it.

We discuss how hydrogen may influence oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and energy. Greg also shares his personal story and how his search for answers led him into years of researching and experimenting with hydrogen through both water and inhalation.

We also get into why not all hydrogen products are created equal, why water quality matters, and how to think through trends like this without getting pulled in every direction.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Hydrogen may act as a selective antioxidant
• Mitochondria play a role in energy and healing
• Delivery method (water vs inhalation) matters
• Water quality is foundational
• Not all hydrogen products are equal
• It’s easy to get pulled into health trends without context

ABOUT GUEST:
Greg, widely known as “The Hydrogen Man,” spent over 20 years in the medical field before a near-death experience forced him to rethink his understanding of healing. After battling severe health issues—including autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, systemic inflammation, heart disease, and immune collapse—he found little relief from conventional or alternative approaches. His breakthrough came through a spiritual awakening that led him to molecular hydrogen.

Today, Greg is a leading voice in hydrogen health, trained with top engineers in Japan and known for pioneering advanced protocols using ultra-pure hydrogen water and gas. In this interview, he explains the science behind molecular hydrogen, its role as a selective antioxidant, why water purity and production methods matter, and how hydrogen therapy may be one of modern wellness’s most overlooked tools.

View Christa's DUTCH Test Results: Click Here

In this episode, I’m sharing my hormone test results at 39 and how to interpret them through a root cause lens. I walk through why I chose a DUTCH test, what I hoped to learn, and why it’s easy to chase data while missing what your body is already telling you.

I break down what my results showed across hormones and adrenal function, what changed, and where I still have room to improve. It’s a reminder that supporting how your body functions matters more than chasing perfect lab numbers.

WHAT HELPED ME IMPROVE MY RESULTS:

• Supporting detox and drainage
• Reducing excess caffeine
• Prioritizing stress and adrenal support
• Paying attention to light exposure

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Why symptoms matter more than lab results
• What a DUTCH test can (and can’t) tell you
• How stress impacts hormone balance
• The role of detox and estrogen metabolism
• Why trends matter more than perfect numbers

#445 Fascia, Stress, Trauma and a 50 lb weight loss with Deanna Hansen Mar 18, 2026

🚨Watch Christa's free training here: christabiegler.com/blueprint

This week, Deanna Hansen joins me to talk about fascia through a root cause lens. Instead of looking only at pain, posture, or mobility in isolation, we explore how fascia affects the body as a whole and why compression, stress, and loss of flow may contribute to much more than people realize.

We discuss how fascia influences circulation, detoxification, lymphatic flow, digestion, alignment, and even emotional health. Deanna explains how trauma, shallow breathing, repetitive stress, and daily movement patterns can all create adhesions in the body that affect how we feel and function over time.

We also talk about why breath is such a critical part of healing, how the diaphragm supports both nervous system regulation and cellular health, and why symptoms like pain, bloating, tension, and chronic stress may all point back to deeper patterns of compression. Learning how to create more space in the body may be one of the most powerful ways to support long term healing.

Bonus Gift: 9 Part Fascia Sampler https://blocktherapy.com/sampler-program-opt-in/. Use just your body weight + a towel to start decompressing fascia, improve oxygenation, and support better alignment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• You can’t out supplement a compressed body
• Shallow breathing keeps you stuck in stress mode
• Fascia affects way more than just pain and mobility
• Your diaphragm is a major player in healing
• “Tight” often means stuck, not strong
• Creating space = better flow, better function

ABOUT GUEST:
Deanna Hansen is a pioneer in the field of fascia decompression for physical and emotional transformation. With more than 20 years of hands-on clinical experience, Deanna created Block Therapy™, a unique fascia-release protocol, to relieve chronic pain and dis-ease, encourage healthy detoxification, and reverse cellular aging.
