The Healthy Skin Show 042: How Sulfur Can Trigger Skin Rashes w/ Christa Biegler
The inability to properly convert sulfur to sulfate can cause many problems in the body, one of which is problems with the skin. Today's guest is here to share some important information about the root causes of sulfur sensitivity, and short-term solutions.
My guest today, Christa Biegler is host of the Less Stressed Life podcast and has an integrative nutrition private practice focusing on skin, digestive, autoimmune and allergy issues.
She started The Less Stressed Life as a play on words for anti-inflammatory life. She lives with her unicycling husband and kids in the rural Midwest.
Join us as we talk about how sulfur can trigger skin rashes.

Quotes
"What is sulfur metabolism? Sulfur is basically one of the most important mineral elements in the body, right? So your body uses it for all types of processes, but it needs to get converted to sulfate basically. And we don't want to have this hydrogen sulfide in too big of amounts." [3:01]
"Poor detoxification is going to lead to feeling just absolutely ridiculously awful, like beyond awful. Then if Tylenol makes you feel better, that might be a piece because that can lower the hydrogen sulfide that's causing the symptoms possibly." [9:30]
"It's thought that possibly glyphosate could make a difference as well or could damage [sulfur metabolism] as well, which of course is a chemical that's used to kill to kill weeds on different grains." [17:40]
