For the next four weeks on the Less Stressed Life, we’re republishing listener-favorite episodes from 2025.

This week, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation with Morley Robbins, creator of the Root Cause Protocol and expert in mineral metabolism, to unpack why high-dose vitamin D supplements might actually be making symptoms worse instead of better.

In this eye-opening episode, we explore why low vitamin D on a lab test doesn’t always equal deficiency, how inflammation and hidden infections can disrupt vitamin D metabolism, and why minerals like magnesium, copper, and retinol are essential for proper function. If you’re struggling with fatigue, hormone issues, or have been told you’re vitamin D deficient, this conversation may completely shift how you think about healing.

To find cliff notes from this episode visit our blog here: https://www.christabiegler.com/blog/encore-why-vitamin-d-supplements-could-be-making-you-worse-with-morley-robbins

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• What low vitamin D really means and why it may signal inflammation
• How infections and immune dysfunction impact vitamin D metabolism
• The vital roles of magnesium, copper, and retinol in supporting vitamin D
• Why supplementing vitamin D without cofactors can worsen symptoms
• How to test for both storage and active vitamin D
• How to safely restore mineral balance using the Root Cause Protocol

Megan Mangin's paper mentioned in episode: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25048990/

ABOUT GUEST:
Morley Robbins is the creator of the Root Cause Protocol and founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group. Known as the “Magnesium Man,” Morley left a decades-long career in hospital administration after a personal healing experience led him to question conventional health models. Since then, he’s become a passionate educator on mineral balance, conducting thousands of consults and researching the roles of magnesium, copper, and iron in chronic illness. Through his work, Morley helps people address fatigue, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances—one mineral at a time.

This week on the Less Stressed Life, I’m welcoming back two of my favorite humans, Patrick Sullivan Jr. and Ashley Leroux Sullivan, the married duo behind our amazing podcast sponsor, Jigsaw Health. If you’ve been around here for a while, you already know I love partnering with brands that truly care and Jigsaw walks the walk while making it fun to feel good!

We go behind the scenes on supplement quality, why third party testing matters, and why supplements should supplement real food, not replace it. We also nerd out on clean, mycotoxin tested coffee, functional lattes with collagen, and their new documentary Breaking Big Food, which explores how local food systems and informed consumer choices can help fix what’s broken in our food supply.

This week, Dr. James Greenblatt returns to talk about the root causes of depression that often get missed. We dig into why many people still struggle despite medication and therapy, the surprising importance of amino acids for neurotransmitters, and how stress and low stomach acid quietly disrupt protein and nutrient absorption.

We also cover key deficiencies linked to depression, including zinc, B12, folate, magnesium, vitamin D, and omega threes, and why “normal” lab ranges are not always helpful. Dr. Greenblatt explains why very low cholesterol can increase depression risk, and we explore new research on nutritional lithium and its potential for mood, cognition, and long-term brain health.

You can now preorder Dr. Greenblatt’s upcoming book, Finally Hopeful, which releases January 13, 2026. It offers a whole-body, personalized roadmap for understanding and treating depression. 

Check out Dr. Greenblatt's other episode on the LSL: #400 Malnourished Mind: Nutrient Deficiencies In Mental Health & Anorexia

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Amino acids are foundational for neurotransmitters
• Zinc, B12, folate, magnesium and vitamin D strongly influence mood
• Stress and low stomach acid impair nutrient absorption
• Very low cholesterol increases depression risk
• Nutritional lithium shows promise for mood and brain health

This week our favorite naturopathic oncologist returns and I am so excited! Michael Robinson always brings the nerdy gems and I learn something new every single time. We dive into advanced decision making for cancer and how to think clearly about screening, diagnosis, and treatment long before you are in crisis. We talk about the value of yearly tumor markers and whole body MRI, why tumor mutations matter more than where cancer appears, and how personalized targeted therapies can meaningfully shift outcomes.

Michael also shares what he would do if he were diagnosed, how integrative care can reduce chemo side effects and boost effectiveness, and why air, water, and food quality matter more than extreme diets. We also explore the emotional and mental sides of cancer and why mindset, support, and clarity are essential parts of any treatment plan.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Early screening helps you act before symptoms appear
• Tumor genetics, not location, guide treatment
• Integrative care improves tolerance and results
• Air, water, and whole foods support immunity
• Mindset and emotional support influence outcomes

This week, I’m breaking down the simplest, most practical steps I use with clients to spot mold issues and support cleaner indoor air. After talking with naturopathic oncologist Michael Robinson (his new episode airs next week), I was reminded how foundational air and water quality are for immune resilience and cancer prevention. Mold is far more common than most people realize, and with a few inexpensive tools and a calm, empowered approach, you can get a clearer picture of what’s happening in your home and your body.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Mold symptoms can look like skin issues, sinus congestion, yeast, or frequent illness
• Stress can reactivate old mold exposures
• Check water areas for bubbling floors, stains, or separating walls or baseboards
• Use humidity meters in bathrooms and the kitchen
• Fans and fast drying prevent many issues
• Thermal guns help spot cold or moisture areas
• ERMI dust testing is better than air samples
• Supporting your nervous system helps immune recovery
• I upgraded to Jaspr for stronger filtration and cleaner air

⚡Jaspr Air Scrubber
Commercial-grade, steel-built, and filters 5× more than typical purifiers. Removes 100% airborne mold (per their testing) in 3 hours and may reduce snoring and throat clearing. $799 ($400 off) with code “lessstressed” through 12/1, then it goes back to $200 off.

This week on the Less Stressed Life, Dr. David Hanscom joins me for his 4th appearance to explain why anxiety isn’t psychological—it’s physiological—a survival response that we can learn to regulate, not control. We talk about how unprocessed emotions and repetitive thoughts get stored in the body as pain and how tools like expressive writing, calming the body, and softening the ego help break those loops.

You’ll walk away with a new way to think about anxiety, pain, and healing—one that focuses on awareness, compassion, and creating safety in your body so your mind can follow. It’s about rewiring your nervous system, not forcing it.

Pre-Order Dr. Hanscom's new book, Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/804971/calm-your-body-heal-your-mind-by-david-hanscom-md/

Dr. Hanscom’s past episodes:
• Ep 71: Roadmap out of Anxiety and Chronic Pain
• Ep 72: Anger & Anxiety in the Family
• Ep 325: Overwhelm & Pain

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Anxiety and anger are body states, not character flaws
• Calm the physiology first; thoughts will follow
• Expressive writing helps separate from looping thoughts
• Awareness and compassion are core to lasting change

Free resource: Try Dr. Hanscom’s Expressive Writing Exercise (PDF), a foundational tool from The DOC Journey to help calm the nervous system and release looping thoughts. 

ABOUT GUEST:
David Hanscom, MD is a former spine surgeon who left his 32-year practice to help people heal chronic physical and emotional pain. After overcoming his own long struggle with anxiety and pain, he developed Dynamic Healing, a method focused on calming the body’s threat physiology and rewiring the nervous system. He’s the author of Back in Control and the upcoming Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind (June 2026).

This week on the Less Stressed Life, Eliza Kingsford joins me to talk about how your nervous system drives behavior and why lasting change only happens when your body feels safe.

We dive into the three main nervous system states (safe and connected, activated, and shutdown) and how they show up in your relationship with food, stress, and self-control. Eliza explains why willpower isn’t the problem and how to build capacity with daily “deposits” like rest, nourishment, and connection so your body can finally support change instead of resist it.

I was fired up about this one because it connects everything—physiology, behavior, and peace. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of why you feel stuck and how to shift it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Your nervous system drives every thought, feeling, and action
• Change feels unsafe to the brain—safety cues make new habits possible
• Food behaviors mirror nervous system states (frantic in activation, numbing in shutdown)
• Build capacity by balancing “deposits” like rest, nourishment, and connection with “withdrawals” like stress and overwork
• Flexibility and resilience in your nervous system create real, lasting change 

ABOUT GUEST:
Best-selling author, licensed therapist and former Corporate CEO, Eliza Kingsford is a nervous system expert and behavior change specialist. She is widely known for helping clients regain control and rewire their process so they can finally lose weight peacefully and keep it off permanently. She developed The Shift framework where clients learn a step-by-step blueprint for changing their lives.

Eliza is turning the weight loss industry on its head by combining neuroscience, behavior science and psychology to create lasting results for her clients.

This week on the Less Stressed Life, we’re unpacking The Biology of Trauma with Dr. Aimie Apigian to reveal how your cells, not just your mind, hold stress and why your body can’t heal when it doesn’t feel safe.

Dr. Aimie shares her personal crash-and-rebuild story and explains how stress becomes biology through the “cell danger response.” We talk about high achiever burnout, unconscious stress, and simple ways to create a sense of safety so your body can finally repair.

If you’ve ever pushed through exhaustion or wondered why your symptoms linger even after doing everything right, this episode gives you language, awareness, and practical tools to help your body exhale.

📖Check out Dr. Aimie's book here: https://www.biologyoftrauma.com/book

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Stress grows you; trauma overwhelms you
• The cell danger response is your body’s emergency brake
• You can’t outthink a body that doesn’t feel safe
• Healing happens in layers, not all at once
• Start by microdosing safety—breathe, feel, soften

ABOUT GUEST:
Dr. Aimie Apigian, double board-certified physician (Preventive/Addiction Medicine) with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health, revolutionizes trauma healing by revealing how our cells—not just our minds—store trauma. Her book "The Biology of Trauma" (foreword by Gabor Maté) transforms our understanding of how the body experiences and holds trauma. After adopting a child during medical school sparked her journey, she developed an integrative science-based sequence for the healing journey. Through her practitioner training, podcast, YouTube channel, and international speaking, she bridges functional medicine, attachment and trauma therapy, proving that repairing trauma's impact on the mind, body and biology is possible.
