Send us a textIn this continuation of episode 245, "I split tested my urine mycotoxin test," I go through dead ringer mold symptoms, a huge checklist of severe, moderate, and mild symptoms, and how I've changed my approach in practice. You can also apply to become a client now and get your case reviewed right now in August to get started in September.  https://www.christabiegler.com/fssHere are some dead ringer mold symptoms if you have 2-3 of them: Nasal soresUnproductive sore throat Joint pain, especially in hands/feet Lichen Schlerosus or sharp vaginal pain Lymph node swelling Increased allergies Itching on the base of the scalp, especially at night Significant negative "detox reactions" fMouth sores from citric acid Chronic sinus congestion or throat clearing If going through the symptoms is a little fast, here is a version of Dr. Jill Christa's mold questionnaire. I find people that score at least a 7 are positive for mycotoxins. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59a037d34c0dbf261600c0ec/t/60959aea82fcec1e35b1ad77/1620417258387/Crista+Mold+Questionnaire+Form.pdf But I also think people don't check all the potential boxes (histamine issues, etc).

Send us a textThis week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I am joined by Clara Artschwager we dive into all things relationships like having a relationship without losing yourself and how relationships affect how we present in the world.KEY TAKEAWAYS:"Your mess becomes your message."Reading the room & the effects of being an empathCommon denominators in things around relationshipsHow relationships with people  and emotions keep us stuckNeural pathways in how we exhibit things in our behaviorRelationships are about perfecting you.GUEST SHARED HELPFUL TIPS ON:Rewiring experiences & seeing the way in which we hold patternsAttracting healthy loveUsing writing for your self-healing work.ABOUT GUEST:I’m a dating and relationships coach and a writer. I often say I’m like the dating coach for folks that would never hire a dating or relationships coach, largely because I don’t actually believe marriage or relationships are the be-all-end-all. Are we wired for connection? Absolutely. But do I feel that comes in a variety of forms? Indeed.I wanted a relationship, to be sure. But I also wanted a way of seeking it that didn’t feel me with anxiety and dread (or the notion that I had to treat dating like a job). And once in a relationship, I wanted a partnership that didn’t rob me of my own life.I found most dating and relationships rhetoric— from five-step plans to Get the Guy to Instagram tropes on how to love myself (and now!)—to fall flat. Really flat. I wanted a more nuanced conversation around love and partnership. Why did I want it but also, in a way, fear it? What made it so uniquely hard for me? And so on and so forth. Women, and yes, some men, who jive with that conversation, are the ones who thrive in my programs and work.WHERE TO FIND       :Website :  https://www.ithinkilikeyou.co/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ithinkilikeyou.co/https://www.ithinkilikeyou.co/apps.10% off my online product WHERE TO FIND CHRISTA:https://www.christabiegler.com/On IG:instagram.com/anti.inflammatory.nutritionist/Shop our Favoriteschristabiegler.com/shopLoving the podcast?
