We also talk about the power of high quality questions.

NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY OF LESS STRESSED LIFE: 

  • Over restriction is dead; if your practitioner is recommending this, they are stuck in 2010 and not evolving
  • Whole food is soul

I’ve spent the last 10 years helping others clear their skin and food sensitivities, and I’ve just spent the last few months streamlining my proven method in my Eczema and Food Sensitivity Freedom Program to help you get results easier than ever.  If you’re ready to get to the REAL root of your eczema & food sensitivities and finally feel like yourself again, head to christabiegler.com to join before the doors close!
