If you’ve ever wondered why your eczema keeps flaring no matter how many lotions, diets, or supplements you try, this episode is a must-listen.

This week, I’m joined by Christa Biegler, award-winning dietitian nutritionist, host of the Less Stressed Life Podcast, and author of The Eczema Relief Diet & Cookbook. Christa shares her own journey with skin and gut issues, including dry skin, rashes, and food sensitivities, and how those experiences shaped the way she helps clients today.

Christa breaks down the 3 types of eczema she sees most often in her practice (inflammatory, environmental, and stress-mediated) and explains what each one looks like, why they develop, and how understanding your type can completely change your healing approach.

We also get into:
 ✨ Why the labels “rosacea,” “psoriasis,” and “eczema” matter less than you think
 ✨ What drainage has to do with skin symptoms
 ✨ The specific pathogenic bacteria she always sees on stool tests from her eczema clients
✨ The often-overlooked role of nutrient deficiencies
✨ The surprising way skincare products impact the gut-skin connection
✨ Whether testing is helpful or just overwhelming

We wrap up with simple, actionable first steps you can take if you’re struggling with eczema and want real, lasting relief.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic flares or want to better understand the gut-skin connection, this episode is packed with clarity, nuance, and strategies you can start using today.
