Episode 5 — Stress, Safety, and the Skin: How Modern Life Keeps Us in Fight or Flight
Have you ever noticed your skin flare up after a stressful week?In this episode, we explore how chronic stress affects the body — and why your skin is often the first to show the signs.
Krystina shares what really happens inside the body when we’re stuck in “fight or flight,” and how this constant state of alert slows digestion, blocks detox pathways, and leads to skin congestion and breakouts.
You’ll learn why rest and digest is the body’s true healing state, why “detoxing” isn’t always the answer, and how small daily shifts — like slowing down, breathing deeply, and reconnecting with joy — can calm both your nervous system and your skin.
If you’ve ever felt like you can’t catch a break, this episode is your reminder that healing starts with stillness.
✨ Listen now and learn how your body’s safety system connects to your skin’s health.
