Histamine : les clés pour apaiser l'inflammation et retrouver votre énergie

Perimenopause is more than hot flashes and irregular periods. In this episode, host Erin Kerry sits down with Christian nutritionist Chelsea Blackbird to discuss the surprising physical, emotional, and mental changes women experience during midlife hormone shifts. Together they explore the connection between progesterone, estrogen, histamine, anxiety, sleep, trauma, autoimmune conditions, and nervous system health. They also discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT), natural support options like evening primrose oil, vitex, and maca, and why foundational habits such as sunlight, sleep, stress regulation, and nutrition matter more than ever during this season. If you've ever thought, "I don't feel like myself anymore," this conversation will help you understand why—and what you can do to support your body through the transition. Key Topics: - What perimenopause actually is - Why women often feel "off" before cycles become irregular - Progesterone decline and estrogen dominance - Histamine, hives, food sensitivities, and hormone fluctuations - Trauma resurfacing during midlife - Anxiety, self-doubt, and neurotransmitter changes - HRT: benefits, limitations, and common misconceptions - Evening primrose oil, vitex, and maca - Testosterone and female motivation, focus, and libido - Autoimmune flares during perimenopause - The role of sunlight in hormone regulation - Nervous system resilience and adrenal health - Sleep and circadian rhythms - Faith-based stewardship of health

Today we're diving into part one of a two part series conversation that has absolutely exploded across social media, comment sections, and private messages. The Pepcid and Allegra conversation. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe this is something new. Unveiled today. If you've been anywhere online lately, you've probably seen women talking about Pepcid and Allegra for Pmdd. Some women are reporting dramatic improvements in mood, anxiety, irritability, rage, overwhelm, breast tenderness, bloating, headaches, and a variety of symptoms that seem to intensify around their cycle. And I'm glad this conversation is happening. Pmdd. Perimenopause and histamine drive the spotlight here for a moment, because the majority of women are struggling or will struggle with these in their lifetime, whether they know it or not. For far too long, many women thought their symptoms were simply stress, allergies, aging, anxiety, part of being a woman, or something they should learn to live with. What concerns me isn't that women are talking about Pepcid and Allegra. What concerns me is that most of the information being shared is only a small piece of a much larger physiological picture, as you can imagine. And if you're someone who has already purchased these medications, started the protocol, or you're considering trying it after hearing somebody rave about it online in a thirty second Tik Tok, I want you to stay with me through this entire episode because context matters as always. Today we're going to talk about Pmdd, perimenopause, histamine mast cell activation syndrome, often called MCAs. We're going to talk about vagus nerve and neuroinflammation. We're going to talk about estrogen and why so many women are experiencing symptoms that they never connect back to hormones. And most importantly, we're going to talk about why Pepcid may be helping some women and why the explanation being circulated online is often incomplete.    Time Stamps:   (1:10) The Pepcid + Allegra Trend (2:20) What We'll Cover (9:15) Histamine Is Not The Enemy (13:47) What The Research Is Showing (17:00) Vagal Nerve Stimulation (18:45) Where Symptoms Develop (22:25) Perimenopause and HRT (31:20) Please Share This Episode ----------  Apply for SF Coaching Method  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/sfhq-cc Complimentary Health Content  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/Health_Wellness_Community ----------  Follow Me On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahfechter.ifbbpro/   Check Out My Website - https://www.sarahfechter.com ----------  This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, other professional health care services, or any professional practice of any kind.

Whittling your diet down to five "safe" foods isn't healing your gut — it's masking a deeper imbalance that declining estrogen may be driving. Nutrition expert Cynthia Thurlow joins Angela Foster to unpack why so many women suddenly can't tolerate foods they once ate freely, and what's really happening behind the bloating, palpitations and brain fog. The conversation explores the link between estrogen loss and a leaky small intestine, the histamine-hormone "perfect storm" that can trigger hives and cramping, and why bloating during perimenopause is so often multifactorial. Cynthia also explains when bloating becomes a red flag worth investigating. You'll learn how to identify your personal food triggers without cutting entire food groups, why eating in a parasympathetic state matters, and which gut supports — from fibre and hydration to TUDCA — can help as progesterone and estrogen decline. If you've ever felt like your body suddenly turned against your favourite foods, this episode will help you understand why. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stop eliminating food groups as your default fix. Whittling your diet down to a handful of "safe" foods signals an underlying gut imbalance that needs support — not an ever-expanding exclusion list. Recognise food sensitivities as a likely leaky gut symptom. As estrogen declines it acts like failing "mortar" in the small intestinal lining, letting food particles leak into the bloodstream and provoke an immune response. Watch the histamine-estrogen "perfect storm." During high-estrogen days, loading up on high-histamine foods (leftovers, kombucha, fermented items) can trigger hives, congestion, cramping and diarrhoea — so keep histamine foods low or infrequent during those windows. Eat in a parasympathetic state. Sit at a table, remove distractions, and take four to five deep breaths before meals rather than eating standing, in the car, or on the move. Always get persistent bloating evaluated. Bloating from morning to night is different from bloating that appears after meals, and persistent symptoms should be checked because, in rare cases, they can signal something serious like ovarian cancer. QUOTES "The goal is to never get to a point where you're excluding entire classes of foods." "If we look at the small intestinal lining as like a brick and mortar system, the mortar is the estrogen." "I literally was talking to a podcast host and I broke out in hives head to toe because I was high estrogen, high histamine stress. And it was like the perfect storm." "It's not really that you need to cut out all these food groups. We just have a nuanced conversation. Don't go overboard with any one food." "I've just seen too many people blow off symptoms for a year or two that end up being bigger issues than they would have been had they been addressed up front."

Histamine : quand le corps tire la sonnette d'alarme

What does proper midlife care actually look like, and who keeps getting left out of it?In this episode, Laura sits down with Dr Caoimhe Hartley - founder of Menopause Health in Dalkey, clinical lead of the Complex Menopause Clinic in the Rotunda, and clinical lead for women's medicine at the new BlackRock Health Women's Health Centre.They talk about the women being told no - those over 60 who feel they have missed the boat on HRT, and those who have come through breast cancer and are still struggling with symptoms. Caoimhe explains where the evidence actually sits on bones, blood vessels and brain, why so much of what gets repeated still comes from the Women's Health Initiative, and how modern HRT differs from the older oral preparations.The conversation moves through midlife weight gain and changing body shape, the rise in adult ADHD diagnoses, and the link between oestrogen and dopamine. They also dig into osteoporosis screening in Ireland, why there is no national DEXA programme, dietary calcium, and the histamine flare some women notice on HRT.Throughout, Caoimhe keeps coming back to the same point - care should be personal, joined up and built around the woman in front of you.

In this special replay, BS Free MD host Dr. May Hindmarsh steps out from behind the microphone and into the guest chair. Originally recorded for the Hotflash Inc. podcast with host Anne-Marie McQueen, this candid conversation explores Dr. May's personal journey through menopause, hormone therapy, histamine intolerance, epigenetics, and the unexpected challenges she faced when conventional solutions didn't provide the answers she was seeking. After more than 30 years practicing medicine, Dr. May found herself navigating a complex health journey that included severe hot flashes, migraines, sleep disruption, anxiety, panic attacks, elevated heart rate, and symptoms that persisted despite hormone replacement therapy. As both physician and patient, she began asking deeper questions about genetics, hormone metabolism, mast cell activation, and individualized care. Together, Anne-Marie and Dr. May discuss the importance of critical thinking in medicine, the dangers of one-size-fits-all approaches, and why listening to your own body may be one of the most important skills in healthcare. In This Episode Why Dr. May and Dr. Tim launched BS Free MD Lessons learned from practicing medicine through the COVID era What happened when hormone therapy stopped working as expected Histamine intolerance and mast cell activation explained The role of MTHFR, COMT, and epigenetics in hormone metabolism Why some women thrive on hormone therapy while others struggle Trauma, stress, and their impact on health outcomes The growing movement toward personalized medicine How to navigate conflicting health information Learning to trust your body's signals About Dr. May Hindmarsh Dr. May Hindmarsh is a retired family physician with more than three decades of experience practicing medicine in Canada and the United States. Alongside her husband, Dr. Tim Hindmarsh, she co-hosts BS Free MD, where they challenge conventional narratives, explore emerging health topics, and encourage listeners to think critically about medicine, wellness, and personal responsibility.

MCAS is one of those diagnoses that can make it feel like your body is telling a dozen stories at once—and no one is listening. If you're experiencing GI symptoms alongside flushing, hives, brain fog, fatigue, palpitations, medication sensitivities, or a persistent "fight-or-flight" feeling, this episode is designed to help connect the dots without oversimplifying your experience.In this episode, we sit down with gastroenterologist Dr. Zachary Spiritos to unpack mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and explore the connections between immune activation, the gut-brain axis, and symptoms that can affect nearly every system in the body. We discuss why patients are often dismissed, how stress and hormonal changes can amplify symptoms, and what a realistic, stepwise treatment approach looks like when the evidence base is still evolving.In this episode, we discuss:• What mast cells do and why MCAS can affect multiple organ systems • Why MCAS is often missed in siloed medical care and mislabeled as anxiety • Barrier dysfunction, environmental triggers, and intestinal permeability as a useful framework • Histamine as one mediator among many and why antihistamines are not a perfect treatment for all• Links between MCAS, IBS, visceral hypersensitivity, dysautonomia, and POTS • Hypermobility, pelvic floor dysfunction, and neck tension as common clinical clues • Treatment principles including start low and go slow, informed consent, and layered individualized plans • Dietary approaches patients commonly explore, including low-histamine, low-FODMAP, and gluten-free patterns • Hormonal influences across the menstrual cycle and during perimenopause• The role of sleep, nervous system regulation, and stress reduction in decreasing symptom reactivity If you've ever felt like your symptoms don't fit neatly into a single diagnosis, this episode will help you make sense of the bigger picture and explore what healing can look like when the gut, immune system, and nervous system are all part of the conversation. References:Ford AC, Staudacher HM, Talley NJ.

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews returning guest Steve about seasonal allergies, histamine intolerance, and MCAS, emphasizing that the root problem is often loss of immune tolerance driven by gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, and Th1/Th2 imbalance from factors like antibiotics, PPIs, stress, mold, and environmental changes. They contrast symptom tools—antihistamines that block histamine receptors and herbs like quercetin/ginger that stabilize mast cells—with approaches aimed at lowering IgE formation and retraining gut–immune “crosstalk.” Steve describes postbiotics and beta-glucans as “tolerization rehab,” highlighting his product HoloImmune (heat-killed strains) and butyrate (TriButyrin-X) for gut lining and mast cell support, plus DAO enzymes for dietary histamine. They discuss safety, dosing, avoiding live probiotics during flares, and examples including motion sickness, bug-bite welts, and a child's post-viral hives.— GUT HEALTH:  Healthy Gut Supplements- discount automatically applied: Holoimmune: https://healthygut.com/holoimmune-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 Holozyme Link: https://healthygut.com/holozyme-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 HCL Guard Link: https://healthygut.com/hcl-guard-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 Tributyrin X: https://healthygut.com/tributyrin-x-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 Magnesium: https://healthygut.com/magnesiumhp-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 _________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide._________Timestamp:00:00 Coming Up01:02 Podcast Intro Disclaimer02:15 Spring Allergies Setup05:05 Loss Of Tolerance08:02 Why Symptoms Worsen10:25 How Antihistamines Work11:59 Mast Cell Stabilizers14:20 Rewiring With Postbiotics16:20 Red Light Sponsor Break17:59 MCAS Pepcid Bridge22:11 Gut Healing Without Probiotics25:45 Blue Blockers Sponsor Break27:12 Mold And Individual Variance29:57 Antibiotics Farm Effect31:39 Dead Bugs Vs Probiotics32:40 Live vs Dead Probiotics33:25 Immune Software Updates35:28 Strawberry Hives Story36:40 Allergy Medicine Toolkit37:25 DAO Enzyme Explained40:05 Springtime Support Stack40:48 Root Causes and Triggers42:38 Immune Rehab and Tolerance45:56 How to Start Dosing49:11 Coaching Over AI51:47 Antihistamines and Acid Blockers53:56 How Long to Take It56:35 Leaky Gut and Butyrate57:39 Hidden Histamine Symptoms58:29 Motion Sickness and Bug Welts01:00:17 Wrap Up and Resources——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

If you've been following a low-histamine diet for months and still reacting, this episode is going to reframe everything. Most histamine protocols treat this as a food supply problem. Avoid the aged cheese, take the DAO enzyme, cut the fermented foods. But for women whose symptoms track with their cycle, flare before their period, or seem to be getting worse despite all the right interventions, the food list is never going to be enough. We go deep into the work of Dr. Ray Peat, biologist and physiologist, to make the case that histamine excess in women is fundamentally a hormonal and metabolic problem. Estrogen directly multiplies mast cells and activates them to release histamine. Progesterone stabilizes them. Thyroid function governs the entire hormonal environment. And a gut producing endotoxin feeds back into estrogen production in ways that keep the whole cycle running. We cover: Why estrogen is the primary upstream driver of histamine excess in women The estrogen-histamine feedback loop and why it intensifies around your period What thyroid function has to do with histamine and why it's almost never addressed Why seed oils and low-carb approaches may be worsening the problem The gut-endotoxin-estrogen connection The heavy metal and liver piece that changed everything for me personally What Peat actually recommended, and what to bring to your provider Resources → PUORI | Go to https://puori.com/HEALINGTHESOURCE and use the code HEALINGTHESOURCE at checkout to get 32% off your first Puori Grass-fed Whey Protein subscription order and get a free shaker worth $25.

The Hidden Causes of Brain Fog, Anxiety, and Chronic Illness: Mold, Parasites, Histamine, and Low Cortisol If you're exhausted, inflamed, and can't figure out why, the answer might be hiding in your histamine, your hormones, your home, or something living inside you that your doctor will never test for. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jessica Peatross, a former hospitalist turned functional medicine powerhouse who walked away from a conventional medical career after discovering that 90% of disease traces back to lifestyle, environment, and the toxins most doctors ignore. After graduating magna cum laude and earning her medical degree from the University of Louisville, Dr. Jess pursued training in functional medicine, nutrigenomics, and alternative therapies, and now helps thousands of patients reverse chronic illness through her KillBindSweat method and WellnessPlus app. She is also the formulator and CMO of Aegis Formulas and a leading voice at international health conferences. If chronic illness, mold toxicity, or hormonal chaos is on your radar, she is the person you want in your corner. Together, Dave and Dr. Jess go deep into the hidden drivers of mystery symptoms that functional medicine is finally starting to crack open. They cover why low cortisol is more dangerous than high cortisol, how histamine and mast cell activation syndrome explain everything from anxiety and brain fog to endometriosis and POTS, and why most "Lyme disease" is actually undiagnosed mold toxicity. They also break down the parasite epidemic hiding in plain sight across the United States, the B vitamin mistake making millions of people sicker, and why your metabolism, mitochondria, and mental health are all downstream of things your standard lab panel will never catch. This episode also gets into the real story behind Dr. Jess surrendering her California medical license rather than comply with a system she believed was working against patient health. Her firsthand account of the medical board process is something every person who cares about medical freedom needs to hear. You'll Learn: Why everyone who is chronically sick has a low cortisol awakening response and what to do about it How histamine drives anxiety, racing thoughts, palpitations, bloating, skin issues, and hormonal chaos Why 90% of people diagnosed with Lyme disease actually have toxic mold and how to test for both The parasite epidemic in the U.S. and why standard testing misses most of it How the spike protein reactivates dormant viruses and feeds the histamine loop behind long COVID Why synthetic B6 causes the very neuropathy it is supposed to fix, and what to take instead The cortisol, adrenaline, and blood pressure connection that explains "wired but tired" How progesterone stabilizes mast cells and why estrogen dominance fuels inflammation and reactivity Why Dave Asprey uses low-dose cortisol, dexamethasone, and modafinil as part of his daily performance stack The mold binders that actually work, and which popular ones can harm hypermobile people How nicotine at low doses blocks spike protein from ACE2 receptors and protects the brain What the MTHFR gene, methylation, and folic acid have to do with breast cancer, depression, and estrogen detox Thank you to our sponsors! - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Calroy | Go to Calroy.com/DAVE for exclusive discounts on Arterosil HP, Vascanox HP and all Calroy products. - Cowboy Colostrum | Get your gut right by going to cowboycolostrum.com/asprey for 25% off of your entire order. -Amp | If you're ready to make fitness fit into your life, go to amp.ai to check it outDave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

New research suggests that low-dose peptide therapy may help calm histamine-driven inflammation and mast cell activation in people with stubborn symptoms like food reactions, brain fog, fatigue, flushing, itching, hives, bloating, and digestive distress. In this episode, Dr. Ruscio explains how the gut, histamine, and mast cells are connected, what the latest human research shows, and why this approach may help some patients who haven't fully responded to diets, supplements, or other natural therapies.  

Why Some Kids With Eczema and Allergies Stay Stuck in a Cycle of Flare-UpsThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're talking about why so many children with eczema and allergies stay stuck in a cycle of flare-ups, food reactions, congestion, poor sleep, and constant symptom management, even after trying creams, elimination diets, supplements, and allergy testing.We share the 3 biggest differences in the Natural Super Kids approach to eczema and allergies, and why looking at the bigger immune picture can make such a difference for long-term results.In this episode, we explore:Why eczema and allergies are often treated as separate problems instead of connected immune system issuesWhat standard allergy testing can miss when it comes to histamine, sensitivities, and immune dysregulationThe gut-skin-immune connection and how gut health can influence eczema, congestion, inflammation, and food reactionsWhy individualised, realistic support works better than restrictive diets and overwhelming protocols

Send us Fan MailFor this week's Friday Five episode, we are talking about histamine overload and five simple ways to naturally reduce histamine burden without becoming fearful of food or excessively restrictive.Histamine intolerance is often far more nuanced than simply reacting to high-histamine foods. In this episode, I explore the deeper connections between histamine, the nervous system, gut health, inflammation, stress, nutrient deficiencies, and immune regulation.We discuss why symptoms like headaches, flushing, hives, sinus congestion, anxiety, palpitations, bloating, poor sleep, and feeling “wired” can sometimes be signs that the body's overall inflammatory load has become too high — and how supporting the body more holistically can help improve resilience over time.Inside this episode, we cover:Why histamine is not inherently “bad”The histamine bucket analogy and why symptoms can suddenly appearThe connection between stress, mast cells, and nervous system dysregulationHow gut health and the microbiome influence histamine levelsWhy blood sugar balance and sleep matter more than many people realiseThe role of leftovers and food freshness in histamine symptomsNutrients involved in histamine breakdown including vitamin C, magnesium, B6, zinc, and copperGentle, practical ways to support the body naturallyResources mentioned in this episode:Nurosym vagus nerve stimulation device.

Take HRT, feel better. Done.Except... that's not the full story. And if you've tried hormone therapy and you're still flashing, or you're nowhere near menopause and already waking up drenched at 3am, or your hot flashes seem to have a mind of their own — you already know something's missing from that explanation.In this episode, I'm breaking down the six most common drivers of hot flashes that your doctor probably isn't connecting to your symptoms. Some of them have nothing to do with estrogen at all. And when you hear them, you might have one of those oh — that's me moments that finally makes sense of something you've been struggling with for months or years.Before we get into them, ask yourself:● Do your hot flashes tend to strike at a specific time of day — particularly in the early morning hours?● Are they worse on your most stressful or chaotic days?● Do you notice them after certain foods or drinks?● Are they worse in the week or two before your period?● Do you have digestive symptoms that seem to show up alongside them?Your answers are clues. And by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what they're pointing to — and what to actually do about it.We're also covering a practical, prioritized toolkit organized by what gives the most relief, fastest — so you're not leaving with a list of 40 things to do. You're leaving with a starting point.

Struggling with bloating, skin flare-ups, and energy crashes? Most traditional solutions are built to only manage symptoms. And for a while… that can work. But then the symptoms return. And you're right back where you started. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart breaks down a question most people never think to ask: What if the thing helping your symptoms… is also the reason you're not actually getting better? Because while short-term solutions like antihistamines and acid blockers can provide fast relief, they may also be interfering with digestion, nutrient absorption, and your body's ability to regulate itself long-term. Tune in to hear more about: Why symptom relief isn't the same as healing How antihistamines and acid blockers impact digestion and gut health Why symptoms often return (or worsen) after stopping them The real role histamine plays in your body How to start addressing the root cause instead of managing symptoms If you've been stuck in the cycle of "feel better → symptoms come back," this episode will help you start seeing what's really going on underneath.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel and be updated with our latest episodes. Welcome to the 200th episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast! Host Mary Greensmith takes us on a journey through some of the most impactful and inspiring clips from past episodes. Featuring expert homeopaths Tay Henry, Nur Reved, Dee Nicole, Gitanjali Goel, and Ann Lovatt, this special compilation explores how homeopathy addresses chronic conditions by getting to the root of the problem. Celiac Disease: Healing the Gut Tay Henry kicks off the episode by discussing celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. Often misidentified as a simple food intolerance, celiac causes significant degradation of the gut. While removing gluten is essential, homeopathy acts as a powerful catalyst to heal the underlying damage and restore vital nutrient absorption, which is especially critical for developing children. Key Remedies Mentioned: Lycopodium (for intense bloating and gas immediately after eating) and China (for profound weakness following fluid loss). Histamine and Allergic Reactions Next, Nur Reved breaks down the body's histamine response. Histamine acts as a cellular alarm system, rushing blood to affected areas to flush out toxins (causing itching and hives). When this system overreacts due to environmental toxins, poor diet, or stress, conventional antihistamines simply block the release of histamine, often causing drowsiness and eventual dependency. Homeopathy takes a different approach: remedies like Histaminum work with the body, signaling it to calm down and remember how to naturally regulate its immune response. Panic Attacks: The Body's Alarm Bell Dee Nicole explains that a panic attack is the body's "last resort" to get your attention. It acts like an overly sensitive fire alarm, signaling deep, underlying anxiety or a chronic feeling of being unsafe. Often, the fear of having a panic attack becomes worse than the attack itself. Homeopathy works to break this cycle of fear, providing remedies that help the body manage the acute moment while simultaneously addressing the deep-seated root cause. Parasites and Miasmatic Susceptibility Gitanjali Goel sheds light on parasitic infections, noting that many people carry low-grade burdens for years without realizing it. Symptoms often present as fatigue, bloating, skin issues, or teeth grinding in children. She explains the concept of "miasms"—inherited patterns of susceptibility. If your body's "foundation" is weak, parasites can easily take hold. Homeopathy strengthens this foundation. Gitanjali also highlights how the lunar cycle (full moons) heavily influences parasite activity and symptom flare-ups. Psoriasis and Inherited Trauma Finally, Ann Lovatt explores the emotional roots of psoriasis. She notes that the disease often triggers at the site of a physical injury (like a cut or sunburn), but the true cause is typically deep emotional suppression or trauma. Ann poignantly describes psoriasis as the body developing a "thick skin" to protect against painful emotions. She shares how homeopathy looks beyond the physical, sometimes addressing inherited generational trauma to bring about true healing.

Is histamine intolerance behind your unexplained symptoms?If you've experienced headaches, bloating, anxiety, flushed skin, or itchiness without a clear cause, Histamine Intolerance could be part of the puzzle. Often misunderstood, this condition goes far beyond reactions to wine or certain foods—it can impact multiple systems in the body.Histamine plays a vital role in the immune system, digestion, and brain function. But when your body can't break it down properly, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms that are easy to misdiagnose as food sensitivities, skin issues, or even stress.In this conversation, we're joined by Heather Oricchio, who helps break down the complexity of histamine intolerance and offers a more root-cause approach to healing.

Why Your Child Reacts to Everything: Histamine Intolerance vs MCAS in KidsThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're unpacking one of the more confusing and complex allergy-related pictures we see in kids — when symptoms don't follow a clear pattern, allergy testing comes back normal, but your child is still clearly reacting to something.If your child seems to react to multiple foods, heat, stress, exercise, strong smells, or seemingly random environmental triggers, this episode will help you better understand what may be going on beneath the surface. We're talking about histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and mast cell dysregulation — and why these issues are often missed or misunderstood.In this episode, we explore:What histamine intolerance actually is, and why it is about poor histamine breakdown, not just eating high histamine foodsThe difference between histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome, and mast cell dysregulation — and why symptoms can look so messy and unpredictableWhy standard allergy testing often misses these issues, even when your child is clearly reactingHow a more holistic approach focused on gut health, immune regulation, and inflammation can help calm the bigger picture

If you've been feeling like your body has stopped cooperating in midlife — even when you feel like you're doing everything right — this episode is for you. In this episode, we go deep on something that doesn't get nearly enough attention: the connection between your gut health, your hormones, and how you feel as you move through perimenopause and beyond. Key Topics: Why Cynthia wrote The Menopause Gut — and what no one else is talking about when it comes to midlife gut changes The gut microbiome explained simply: what it is, where it lives, and why it intersects with every system in your body The four lifestyle foundations that either support or sabotage your gut health — and why doing less is often the answer in midlife Why the "double down and work harder" approach backfires for so many women (and what to do instead) Sleep as the non-negotiable #1 priority — Cynthia's exact words: "If you are not sleeping through the night, I cannot get you to lose weight" The hyperlink between chronic stress, cortisol, leaky gut, and autoimmune risk — women are 4–5x more likely to develop autoimmune conditions in perimenopause and menopause Why the inability to sit still or slow down is often a trauma response, not a personality trait Estrogen as a people-pleasing hormone — and how declining hormones can actually help you find your voice The three big gut changes happening in perimenopause: loss of digestive fire, changes in motility, and the estrobolome (your body's estrogen-processing plant in the gut) What to look for on stool testing, and why Cynthia does the lifestyle foundations first before running labs The gut-brain connection via the vagus nerve, and how gut inflammation drives anxiety, depression, brain fog, and joint pain Histamine, mast cell degranulation, and why your wine reaction at 38 might have been your first perimenopause symptom (this one hit home for me personally!) The supplement overwhelm problem — why Cynthia is intentional and evidence-based before recommending probiotics What "digestive fire" means and the practical role of enzymes, bitters, and TUDCA Elimination diets as a starting point — and when to escalate to GI diagnostic testing The rise in colorectal cancer in younger people, and why we cannot afford to ignore bowel changes Cynthia's take on HRT: why she prefers to dial in lifestyle and gut health first, and what happens when women go straight to hormones without the foundation in place Thin phenotype PCOS (teaser for part two — this conversation is happening!)   Let's dive in!

Is histamine the villain of the health world, or a vital messenger your body can't live without? In this episode, Unique Hammond sits down with Dr. Laura G. to demystify Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance. Dr. Laura shares her personal journey from "allergic to life" in Austin, Texas, to finding health through nomadic living and clinical expertise.We dive deep into why the "pushing through" culture fuels the flame of inflammation, the surprising link between mast cells and mental health (anxiety, ADHD, insomnia), and how simple lifestyle shifts—like soluble fiber and blood sugar stability—can calm your immune system.Key Topics Discussed:What is Histamine? Why we need it for sleep, hormones, and digestion.The "Histamine Bucket" Analogy: How stress, infections (like Long COVID), and environment overflow your system.The Mental Health Connection: How histamine acts as a neurotransmitter triggering panic attacks and OCD.Modern Triggers: Why Austin's "Cedar Fever" and mold can be a tipping point.Practical Tools: The role of soluble fiber (the "trash bag" for toxins), freezing leftovers, and the "New Salt" hack for potassium.Exercise Intolerance: How to stay active without triggering a massive histamine flare.Resources Mentioned:Dr. Laura G.'s Website: www.drlauragouge.comUnique Hammond (The Bean Protocol): https://www.youregreat.comJoin my Legume Love Letter Newsletter here-Legume Love Letters

Send us Fan MailThis week, Dr. Christopher Shade joins me to talk about detox in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of jumping straight into protocols or pushing things out too fast, we break down how detox really works in the body and why drainage has to come first.We discuss what happens when toxins build up, how they move through the liver, kidneys, and lymph, and why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, and reactivity often point back to a system that isn't draining well. We also get into why stress, inflammation, and even hormone shifts can slow detox down, keeping you stuck.We also walk through binders, how they actually work, why different types matter, and how to use them in a way that supports your body instead of overwhelming it. This episode helps you think about detox in a more practical, step-by-step way so you can stop guessing and actually make progress.KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Detox starts with drainage • Pushing too fast = feeling worse • Liver, kidneys, lymph all matter • Stress shuts detox down • Not all toxins act the same • Binders help you clear, not recirculate • Skin issues can be detox overload • Histamine = overwhelmed system • Start slow, build up

In this episode of Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill, Dr. Jill Carnahan sits down with Dr. Izabella Wentz to uncover the true root causes behind Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and why it's often more than just a diagnosis. Dr. Wentz, a pharmacist turned functional medicine expert and bestselling author, shares her personal journey with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and IBS—and how it led her to explore the deeper connections between gut health, autoimmunity, infections, and environmental triggers. Together, they break down why IBS is often a symptom cluster rather than a true diagnosis, and how identifying underlying causes like SIBO, parasites, food sensitivities, mold exposure, and thyroid dysfunction can lead to real healing. This episode is essential listening for anyone struggling with digestive issues and looking for a root-cause, functional medicine approach to gut health.

Have you ever felt terrible after just one glass of wine? Or noticed that foods you used to eat just fine are now giving you headaches, bloating, brain fog, or a racing heart? You're not imagining it and you're not just "getting older." This might be a histamine problem, and today we're getting into all of it. Histamine is one of the most missed pieces of the puzzle for so many women. The symptoms can look like inflammation, allergies, or just general mystery symptoms that nothing seems to fix. And here's the tricky part: it's not consistent. You can tolerate something one week and react the next, which makes it incredibly hard to figure out what's actually going on. In this episode I break down what histamine actually is, why your body might be struggling to process it, and the very important connection between histamine and your hormones that almost nobody is talking about. What we cover: Why aged cheese, wine, fermented foods, and even leftovers can trigger a histamine response The "histamine bucket" concept and why your symptoms seem so random The two enzymes responsible for breaking histamine down and what gets in their way Why estrogen and histamine have a feedback loop that feeds itself (fire feeding fire) How progesterone actually helps stabilize mast cells and what happens when it starts to decline The gut connection and why healing digestion matters just as much as anything else Genetic factors that can make you more sensitive to histamine than the people around you The bottom line: Avoiding wine and fermented foods might give you a little relief, but it is not the long term answer. If your hormones are off, if your gut is struggling, or if cortisol is driving the whole thing, we have to address all of it together in the right sequence. Otherwise you are just guessing. Join the Hormone Clarity Workshop I am hosting a live workshop April 14 & 15 where we go through your hormone imbalances and what your body is actually telling you. We cover all of this, including the gut and histamine connection, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and more. You'll walk away with real clarity on what's going on and where to start.

Histamine intolerance and MCAS are being talked about everywhere right now, but most conversations focus on food lists, supplements, and restriction. In this episode, Danielle sits down with a certified functional nutrition practitioner to explore a different perspective, the role of the nervous system in chronic reactivity, inflammation, and histamine-related symptoms. They discuss why some people seem to become more sensitive to foods, environments, and stress as they get older, and how nervous system state may influence everything from histamine release to sleep quality. You'll also hear a deeper conversation about why many healing approaches encourage people to disconnect from their bodies, why that can backfire, and what it actually looks like to help the body feel safe again. If you've been dealing with symptoms that feel random, overwhelming, or impossible to figure out, this episode offers a different framework for understanding what might be happening. Jennifer Parkinson is a Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner. As the founder of EDS Nutritionist, Jennifer specializes in supporting individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) who are struggling with chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, gut dysfunction, and daily instability.    LINKS: Learn more about working with me  Shop my masterclasses (learn more in 60-90 minutes than years of dr appointments) Follow me on IG Follow Empowered Mind + Body on IG  Follow Jen on IG   

In today's episode, Gina discusses how the body's histamine reaction and excessive histamine levels can contribute substantially to your anxiety experience.

Drawing inspiration from a listener's inquiry, I illuminate how histamines can often mimic the physical sensations associated with anxiety and panic attacks. My personal experiences with histamine reactions have shaped my understanding of this topic, highlighting how certain symptoms may seem to arise without cause, when in fact, they can stem from dietary triggers.I emphasize the importance of recognizing that sensations such as a racing heart or restlessness may not signify an impending panic attack but rather indicate a histamine response. Histamines play a vital role in our immune system—they help regulate inflammation and facilitate communication in the brain. However, when levels become unmanageable, they can lead to a range of symptoms that many may misinterpret as anxiety. Understanding this connection is crucial for managing anxiety more effectively.We explore how certain foods and lifestyle choices can elevate histamine levels, potentially leading to anxiety-like symptoms. I bring attention to common triggers such as aged cheeses, fermented foods, processed meats, and even the act of consuming leftovers. Recognizing these connections can empower you to make more informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle, ultimately reducing anxiety triggers. Keeping a food and feelings journal is a practical step toward uncovering these patterns, allowing for greater awareness of personal sensitivities.#anxiety, #histamine, #mentalhealth, #bodychemistry, #anxietyrelief, #wellness, #panicattacks, #holistichealth, #mindfulness, #stressmanagement, #histamineintolerance, #guthealth, #anxietycoaching, #healthtips, #selfcare, #nervoussystem, #mindbody, #inflammation, #healthandwellness, #anxietyrecovery, #physiologicalhealth, #mentalwellness, #ginaryan, #anxietycoachespodcast, #foodsensitivity, #healingjourney, #bodyawareness, #stressrelief, #holisticliving, #calm, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body. If your skin has been struggling from hormones, environmental stress, hard water damage, or premature aging, I'm sharing exactly what I'm using and why it's working.

In this Hormone Hotline episode, I'm answering a powerful question about estrogen HRT, histamine intolerance, and mast cell activation during perimenopause and long COVID. Why do histamine flares explode when hormones start shifting? Is estrogen really the villain—or is something deeper driving the chaos? I share my own long battle with histamine hives, food reactions, and hormone swings—and what finally moved the needle. Why do so many women get worse on a low histamine diet over time? Could unstable estrogen levels be more triggering than estrogen itself? And what role does progesterone really play in calming mast cells? We also dive into the nervous system piece that almost no one talks about. Is long COVID keeping your body stuck in fight-or-flight? Could therapies like stellate ganglion block, NAD, low-dose naltrexone, GLP-1s, or specific peptides actually reset immune overreactions? And how do you introduce hormones when you're sensitive to everything? In this episode, we uncover: How estrogen fluctuations can trigger histamine and mast cell flares. Why progesterone may calm both anxiety and histamine symptoms. role the nervous system plays in long COVID and MCAS. How peptides and GLP-1 medications may reduce inflammatory signalling. Why micro-dosing hormones can be safer for sensitive women.
