Why Food Sensitivities Aren’t About the Food | Stress, Digestion & Gut Health | ANEW EP 137

Are food sensitivities really about the food—or is something deeper going on? In this episode of the ANEW Insight Podcast, clinical psychologist Dr. Supatra Tovar is joined by award-winning dietitian and root-cause nutritionist Christa Biegler to unpack why so many people feel reactive to foods despite eating “clean” or following elimination diets. This conversation explores how chronic stress quietly shuts down digestion, weakens gut integrity, and disrupts immune signaling—often creating symptoms that look like food sensitivities. Christa explains why restriction can help short-term but frequently backfires long-term, increasing fear, reactivity, and disconnection from the body. You’ll learn why leaky gut is real but rarely the deepest issue, how stress suppresses stomach acid and enzymes, and why symptoms are not failures but signals that the system needs support. This episode is especially relevant for high-achieving, health-conscious people who feel confused by changing food reactions and exhausted by constant rules around eating. Dr. Tovar and Christa unpack: • Why food sensitivities are often about stress and digestion, not the food itself • The difference between food allergies and food sensitivities • How chronic stress impacts stomach acid, enzymes, and nutrient absorption • Why elimination diets can reduce symptoms but worsen reactivity over time • The role of gut permeability, immune signaling, and histamine responses • How restoring safety in the body supports long-term tolerance and healing If you’re tired of guessing what your body can tolerate and ready to move beyond restriction toward trust and balance, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and practical insight. 🎧 Watch, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who’s done blaming food and ready to understand their body.
