Podcasts about Histamine

Is it perimenopause or autoimmunity? The symptoms are similar, and most women don't ask. Mickey Trescott, founder of the Autoimmune Protocol movement, explains the overlap between hormonal changes and immune dysfunction in midlife.

Ongelooflijk veel mensen hebben moeite met loslaten! Zeker als je klachten als obstipatie hebt of als je snel angstig bent, is dit een thema voor je. In deze aflevering deel ik een belangrijk inzicht met je en geef ik je food for thought om mee aan de slag te gaan.Shownotes: De winnaar van de podcast winactie van de maand juni is Wilma!

If you've been on social media lately, you've probably seen it: women swearing that a combo of Pepcid and Claritin, ordinary histamine blockers, gave them their life back during the worst days of their cycle. It sounds too simple to be real, and honestly, it kind of is. But the reason it's working for some women and doing absolutely nothing for others is the whole story, and it's a story almost nobody is explaining correctly. In this episode, I sit down with one of my all time favorite guests, Dr. Liz Bartman, to go deep into progesterone sensitivity, PMDD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and how it's different from garden variety PMS. If you've ever felt like a completely different person for two weeks out of every month, only to feel like yourself again the second your period starts, this episode is going to make you feel seen in a way most conversations about "hormones" never do. We get into what's actually driving PMDD for so many women: an altered GABA receptor that stops responding correctly to a calming metabolite of progesterone called allopregnanolone. We talk about why histamine surges at exactly the wrong time in your cycle, how estrogen and progesterone are pulling the strings behind the scenes, and why some women feel like magic when they take progesterone while others feel like they've been poisoned by it. This is the foundational science you need before you try any protocol, viral or otherwise. This is part one of a two part series. Part two gets into what to actually do about it, but you need this piece first, because throwing supplements or medications at PMDD without understanding your own biology is how so many women end up frustrated and back at square one. In This Episode, We Cover: The real difference between PMS and PMDD, and why PMDD is classified as a mental health condition, not just a hormone imbalance Why normal estrogen and progesterone levels don't rule out PMDD, and what's actually going on in the brain instead What allopregnanolone is, how it works on GABA receptors, and why some women's brains stop responding to it correctly The viral H1/H2 histamine blocker protocol: what it is, why it can bring real relief, and why it isn't a PMDD cure-all The surprising role histamine plays as a neurotransmitter, including its connection to your morning cortisol response Why PMDD symptoms show up specifically in the second half of your cycle, and how estrogen, progesterone, and mast cells are all involved Why roughly half of women with diagnosed PMDD don't tolerate progesterone well, and what that tells us about the root cause How your gut microbiome, specific probiotic strains, and your nervous system state all influence GABA receptor expression and histamine regulation Why declining egg quality and corpus luteum function can cause progesterone to drop too fast in the luteal phase Who This Episode Is For This is for any woman who has ever felt like her brain and body get hijacked in the days before her period, and who has been told it's "just PMS" or that she's overreacting. It's for women who have tried progesterone and either felt amazing or felt so much worse, and never got a real explanation why. It's also for anyone who has seen the histamine blocker trend online and wants to understand the actual mechanism before trying it themselves.     Sponsors Join the Midlife Women's Peptide Program today and get started for less than $200 a month!

Dr. Eboni Cornish joins the show to discuss neuroinflammation, brain fog, SPECT imaging, root-cause medicine and practical strategies for improving brain health. Together, we explore how environmental toxins, gut health, infections, trauma and lifestyle factors can contribute to cognitive symptoms—and why individualized care is essential for lasting healing.We dive into:Neuroinflammation and the root causes of brain fogHow SPECT imaging can uncover hidden patterns in brain healthThe connection between the gut, immune system and brainMold, Lyme disease, histamine and environmental triggers of cognitive dysfunctionNeurofeedback, mitochondrial support and other tools for brain recoveryWhy restrictive diets don't work for every patientSupporting children, adults and neurodivergent patients with personalized carePerimenopause, hormone changes and their impact on cognitive healthPractical, affordable lifestyle strategies that support brain health and longevityWhy meeting patients where they are leads to better long-term outcomes

Histamine isn't just about seasonal allergies or a runny nose. It influences your brain, gut, hormones, immune system, and nervous system—and when your body can't regulate it properly, it can show up as everything from anxiety and migraines to insomnia, digestive issues, skin rashes, and brain fog. In this episode, I explain why histamine overload happens, how it relates to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and what a root-cause approach looks like for calming an overactive immune system. In today's episode, I discuss: * Why MCAS and histamine intolerance are different—and how overactive mast cells can drive symptoms ranging from migraines and anxiety to digestive issues, hives, and heart palpitations * The hidden triggers behind mast cell activation, including gut dysfunction, chronic infections, mold exposure, hormone imbalances, stress, and environmental toxins * Why many "healthy" foods like avocados, spinach, tomatoes, kombucha, and bone broth can temporarily worsen symptoms when your histamine bucket is already full * A root-cause approach to calming the immune system using nutrition, targeted supplements, medications when needed, nervous system regulation, and addressing the underlying drivers of inflammation MCAS isn't simply a histamine problem—it's a sign that your immune system has become dysregulated. Instead of just suppressing symptoms, the goal is to understand why your mast cells are overreacting in the first place. When you lower the overall inflammatory load and restore balance to the gut, immune system, hormones, and nervous system, you create the conditions for lasting healing rather than temporary symptom relief.

You're eating healthy foods, choosing fermented products, leftovers, tomatoes, or avocado—yet your migraines seem to keep showing up. Could histamine be part of the puzzle?In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores the surprising connection between histamine sensitivity and migraines. Discover why foods that are considered healthy for many people can sometimes become hidden triggers for a sensitive nervous system.You'll discover:

Histamine isn't your real problem - here's why estrogen and your gut may be driving MCAS.

Histamine is a hot topic in the migraine community. In this episode of Spotlight on Migraine, host Molly O'Brien speaks with neurologist Dr. Lauren Natbony to explore the relationship between histamine and migraine. Learn how histamine works in the body, why allergies and migraine often overlap, and whether antihistamines or low-histamine diets may help some people with migraine. They also discuss mast cells, seasonal allergies, the gut-brain connection, and some misconceptions about migraine and histamine.  Read the full transcript at: https://www.migrainedisorders.org/podcast/s8e6-histamine/    *The contents of this podcast are intended for general informational purposes only and do not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Breakthrough Treatments for C Diff with Guest Dr. Oscar, Kiwi for Bowel Regularity with Julia from Enzymedica [0:00:00] Opening, Banter, and Announcements Ed plugs an upcoming podcast episode on heartburn with Julia from Enzymedica, explaining simple steps to get off PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) safely. MMA fighter sponsor shout‑out Discussion of Chance, an 8–0 MMA fighter who works at Nutrition World's warehouse. Upcoming fight at Camp Jordan in July; Nutrition World is a sponsor. Ed describes Tallow House in Cleveland: Burgers cooked in tallow Sourdough buns, high-quality ingredients Comparison to seed oils, stating tallow is preferable, though any fat can be overdone. Setup for today's show / guests Dr. Oscar – discussing a “revolutionary” next‑generation probiotic based on a super donor / fecal transplant science. Julia from Enzymedica – discussing constipation and digestive enzymes. [0:08:56] Gut Microbiome & Origin of the MET Probiotic Ed reiterates the show's philosophy: better aging means adding strength, clarity, mobility, and energy to existing years. Emphasizes his longstanding passion for the gut microbiome and how cluttered/confusing that field is. Ed welcomes Dr. Oscar and frames the topic as a truly unique/probably revolutionary probiotic advance. Personal story: Ed's father died from C. diff about 20 years ago. C. diff often triggered by antibiotics, then treated with more antibiotics → vicious cycle. Ed wanted to give probiotics/Saccharomyces boulardii; doctor was lukewarm but allowed it. How the product started (C. diff & FMT) – Dr. Oscar Traditional fecal microbiota transplants (FMT): Helpful for C. diff, but risky for immunocompromised patients. Concerns: pathogens, genetic material, and “yuckiness.” Microbial Ecosystem Therapeutics (MET) A company developed an alternative: MET, using a single “super donor”. Process: Select a rigorously screened donor with a healthy microbiome, no gut issues. Extract unique anaerobic bacteria. Use lyophilization (freeze-drying) to remove the fecal material and problematic components, leaving a purified community of bacteria. Result: a blister‑pack capsule containing live anaerobic strains that can engraft in the gut. C. diff trials and efficacy Comparative trials (MET-1 / MET-2) vs. fecal transplants for C. diff: MET formulations performed as well or better than FMT in some outcomes. One MET‑based product has already been used specifically for C. diff. Transition to functional / preventive use The MET company partnered with Designs for Health and Guelph University (Ontario). After years of research and clinical work, they created a five‑strain formulation used in the Designs for Health product. Claim: these five strains regulate roughly 85% of metabolic and immune functions influenced by gut bacteria. [0:14:47] How this Probiotic Differs from Traditional Probiotics Ed underscores: Thousands screened to identify an optimal super donor with best diversity. Human‑sourced strains → high compatibility with human physiology. Wants clarification on aerobic vs. anaerobic differences and why they matter. Traditional probiotics vs MET strains – Dr. Oscar Traditional probiotics: Often from exogenous sources (fermented dairy, industrial fermentation, etc.). Usually Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium etc. They are generally transient: Work while you take them. Poor ability to engraft and persist once discontinued because they're not native to the host. Still useful (like eating salad: benefits only while you keep consuming them). Human‑derived MET strains: Sourced from a human donor, recognized by the body as “self‑like.” Have co‑evolved with humans over long timeframes. Function as an “accessory organ system”: E.g., certain strains stimulate the production of new cells. Specific strain examples Akkermansia: Consumes mucin in the gut lining. Produces metabolites that activate stem cells and progenitor cells, leading to new cell formation in the gut. Other strains have specialized roles: Ferment food. Create an anaerobic environment. Modulate immune responses. Oxygen & anaerobes, “crowding out” pathogens Healthy human colon = low‑oxygen (anaerobic) environment. Certain beneficial strains (e.g., Roseburia) help remove oxygen: They create conditions where anaerobic commensals thrive. Pathogens and opportunistic bacteria that prefer oxygen are crowded out, not killed with antibiotics. Clinical observations: Pre‑ and post‑testing show reductions in overgrowth bacteria when taking this formulation. This suggests a “crowding out” approach vs. broad‑spectrum microbial killing. Terrain theory & engraftment duration Ed references terrain theory (Antoine Béchamp): improve the internal environment to resist disease. Engraftment data: Early engraftment seen in ~2 weeks. MET C. diff studies showed strains persisting up to 6 months. Key dependency: diet and “fertilizing” the microbiome. Good fiber, colorful plant foods, polyphenols → support long‑term survival. Threats: alcohol, glyphosate, long‑term antibiotics, stomach acid meds, narrow macro diets (strict keto, carnivore, low‑FODMAP) without adequate diversity. Solutions for narrow diets: add prebiotic fibers, greens/reds powders. Dosage & synergistic use with other probiotics Ed confirms he's taking one capsule per day of the Designs for Health product labeled “Next Generation Multi‑Strain Probiotic” and tolerating it well. Dr. Oscar: One cap is enough Emphasis on quality of the seed, not quantity (CFU count). High‑quality engrafting strains self‑propagate as long as diet supports them. Synergy with other probiotics: Example: Lactobacillus produces lactate, which serves as a food source for some MET strains. Hypothesis: traditional probiotics may have better persistence and function when the MET strains are present. Ed notes: Very high‑strain blends (20+ strains) may have unknown “infighting.” In contrast, a single donor community has already proven internal compatibility. Where to learn more Designs for Health website: designsforhealth.com Search “Complete Commensal” for patient education materials. Note: two of the strains have never before been available in commercial probiotics due to encapsulation challenges with strict anaerobes; newer technology solved this. [0:33:14] Constipation, Enzymes, Kiwi Regularity (with Julia from Enzymedica) Introducing Julia with Enzymedica Julia is a long‑time educator (20+ years) in the natural health industry. Ed compares clinical experience in natural health to a physician needing years of patient contact beyond textbooks. Julia: First-line advice – don't rely on stimulant laxatives Avoid over‑the‑counter stimulant laxatives except in rare, urgent situations. Chronic use irritates the bowel and makes it dependent, reducing natural motility. Foundational step: chew your food & nervous system calm Proper chewing: Activates salivary amylase and lipase (carb and fat‑digesting enzymes). Signals stomach acid secretion and subsequent digestive steps. Ed notes: Most people eat while on their phones, in a rushed state. He tries to pause for ~1 minute before eating to reset. Good digestion starts even with thought and sight of food. Why constipation happens & normal frequency Normal bowel frequency: At least once daily, ideally 2–3 times/day. Some people report going only once a week, which is problematic. If food is not broken down properly: The body delays gastric emptying and slows peristalsis. Leads to constipation, gas, and bloating. Digestive enzymes: Help break food down. Improve signal timing for stomach emptying and intestinal motility. Provide relatively rapid symptom relief (gas, bloating, heavy stomach). Symptoms of delayed gastric emptying Can manifest as: Heaviness (“rocks in my stomach”). Minimal or absent bowel movements. Bloating, gas, occasional heartburn, and nausea. GLP‑1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic and similar): Work partly by slowing gastric emptying. Can exacerbate pre‑existing motility issues. Digestive enzymes are compatible and can help. Enzyme basics & age Humans make tens of thousands of enzymes, but production declines with age. This explains why people often say: “I used to be able to eat X, and now I can't.” Gut–brain link & psychological burden Many neurotransmitters (or their precursors) are made/processed in the gut: Serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, etc. Poor gut function → can influence mood, sleep, appetite, social drive. Constipation/diarrhea leads to stress, anxiety, fear of leaving home (e.g., unpredictable loose stools). Kiwi Regularity: a non‑stimulant “regulating” approach Product: Enzymedica Kiwi Regularity (chewable). Based on a concentrated kiwi extract, not a harsh laxative. Works in both directions: Helps people who can't go (constipation). Helps bind loose stools (diarrhea/urgency). Gently supports motility and microbiome over time. Miralax concerns Ed and Julia criticize chronic use of Miralax: Widely prescribed, even for children. Kiwi Regularity: Gentle, non‑addictive, appropriate for: Children. Pregnant women (though labeling can't state it due to regulations). Works long‑term and supports microbiome. Shown in 4‑week studies to: Increase commensal Bifidobacteria. Support Akkermansia and butyrate production. Butyrate nourishes colon cells and supports gut barrier. [0:43:01] Practical Enzyme Use, Histamine, and Product Recommendations Industrial vs human‑oriented enzymes Many enzymes on the market were originally developed for industrial uses. Enzymedica (since 1998) focused specifically on human digestive enzymes and research. Emergency backup vs daily habits Ed shares a travel anecdote: Severe constipation scenario solved with a Fleet enema while out of town. Enemas are non‑addictive, suitable for rare emergencies. Emphasizes hydration and magnesium: Magnesium (especially certain forms) helps pull water into the bowel. Regular use of magnesium oxide solely as a laxative is not ideal; better to use more balanced forms (e.g., magnesium glycinate). Most people over ~30 benefit from enzymes Declining enzyme production with age + modern diet → strong case for broad digestive enzyme support. Histamine & DAO enzymes Enzyme DAO (diamine oxidase) can help break down histamine from food. It's typically porcine‑sourced. Crucial caveat: Must pair with a low‑histamine diet; enzymes alone won't fully overcome high‑histamine intake. Gluten‑digesting enzymes limits Gluten enzyme products can help with cross‑contamination or minor slip‑ups. They are not a license to eat full gluten-rich meals (like a whole pizza) with impunity. Which Enzymedica product for the “average American diet”? For “standard” American eating patterns (larger, richer, mixed meals): Digest Gold: Enzymedica's most potent formula. Suited for heavy or complex meals, people early in their digestive-health journey. For somewhat cleaner / smaller meals: Digest Complete: Slightly smaller capsule, still potent. Good for those who have already improved diet somewhat. Enzymedica's research shows digestive enzymes also support microbiome health, not just symptom relief. In the broader health context, Both Julia and Ed highlight: Modern environmental and lifestyle burdens (glyphosate, EMFs, etc.). Need for foundational supports: enzymes, probiotics, microbiome‑friendly diet. Where to learn more Website: enzymedica.com Contains educational articles, research summaries, and product info. Ed notes Enzymedica has extensively trained Nutrition World staff on enzymes, heartburn, slow/fast transit, etc. [0:55:36] Final Segment Ed references a study: A single course of antibiotics can alter gut microbiome for years, affecting digestion, immunity, and metabolic health. Most recover within first two years post‑antibiotics, but not fully without support. Reaffirms importance of probiotics and enzymes on the “first page” of gut health tools.  Balanced view on medicine Acknowledge a time and place for antibiotics and conventional care (e.g., pneumonia, UTIs). Stress avoiding reflexive decisions based on fear; consider pros/cons, then act. The post Radio Show / Podcast – June 28, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Join Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta as they unpack chronic spontaneous urticaria. Together, they define what hives actually are, explain how CSU is different from an allergic reaction and other types of hives, and walk through what is happening under your skin to cause all that itching. This episode was originally published June 6, 2024. We re-released it on June 25, 2026 with a new intro as the perfect foundation before our episode on the new chronic urticaria guidelines. Do you get hives and have no idea why? Then this episode is for you. What we cover in this episode about chronic hives: What hives really are. Urticaria is the medical word for hives, and the two signs are that it itches and it comes and goes. CSU versus other hives. How CSU differs from inducible hives (CINDU) and from an allergic reaction. Histamine and the itch. Why histamine drives the swelling and itch, and why scratching feels so good. What makes hives flare. CSU has no true trigger, but stress and other culprits can set off your mast cells.

Could histamine intolerance be the missing piece behind your anxiety, insomnia, PMS, or gut symptoms? How do you know whether you're dealing with histamine intolerance, MCAS, or a deeper root cause that needs a different approach?In this episode, I sat down with histamine and MCAS expert Heather Oricchio to talk about one of the most misunderstood topics in women's health. We unpacked the differences between histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), how these conditions show up in the body, and why so many women are struggling with symptoms that seem completely unrelated on the surface. We discussed the many root causes that can contribute to histamine and MCAS symptoms, including mold exposure, gut dysfunction, chronic stress, hormone imbalances, environmental toxins, and nervous system dysregulation. Heather explained why some people respond well to a low-histamine diet while others continue reacting to foods, supplements, chemicals, and even everyday stressors. We also discussed the testing she uses to uncover hidden contributors and how she approaches putting all of the pieces together.One of my favorite parts of this conversation was our discussion around stabilization. We talked about why some people cannot tolerate detox protocols, supplements, or even basic interventions until their nervous system and mast cells are more supported. Heather shared how she helps clients build those foundations for healing, what signs indicate someone is ready to move forward, and why addressing root causes requires patience and the right sequence of steps.We also spent time talking about the powerful connection between the nervous system and chronic illness. Regulating the nervous system before going on an intensive healing journey is one of the most important steps to getting back to normalcy, so I'm so glad we got to talk about that in depth in this episode. Heather shared practical strategies for nervous system regulation, how chronic stress can keep symptoms stuck in place, and why healing often requires more than just supplements and protocols. If you've been struggling with histamine intolerance, MCAS, mold illness, unexplained symptoms, or feel like you've tried everything without answers, this conversation offers a thoughtful and hopeful perspective on what might be missing from the healing process.Disclaimer: This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

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.

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."

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.

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're a woman in your 30s, 40s, or 50s feeling like your body is betraying you, this episode reveals the hormonal, gut, and environmental triggers behind perimenopause that most doctors never address, and exactly what you can do about it. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner, CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project, and a globally recognized expert in intermittent fasting and women's hormonal health. Her TEDx talk on intermittent fasting has surpassed 10 million views, and she brings over 20 years of functional medicine clinical experience to one of the most underserved conversations in longevity and human performance. Together, they tear apart the outdated medical narrative around perimenopause and menopause, exposing how a lack of knowledge, not biology, is destroying relationships, careers, and quality of life for millions of women. Dave and Cynthia dig into the gut microbiome's role in every symptom women experience in midlife, the mold toxin that is 10,000 times more potent than human estrogen and directly linked to hormonal chaos, and why biohacking your hormones as early as 35 could be the most important longevity move a woman makes. They also cover why statins are wrecking women's metabolism, how trauma accelerates ovarian aging and mitochondrial decline, the surprising connection between histamine reactions and hot flashes, and why GLP-1 micro-dosing alongside hormone replacement therapy is a game-changer for body composition and anti-aging. This episode is essential for listening for anyone serious about biohacking, sleep optimization, functional medicine, longevity, brain optimization, supplements, metabolism, human performance, and smarter not harder approaches to women's health. You'll Learn: Why perimenopause actually begins around age 35 and what to do about it before symptoms hit How a mold-derived xenoestrogen found in conventional beef disrupts hormones at 10,000 times the potency of human estrogen The gut microbiome changes that drive hot flashes, brain fog, weight gain, and mood disorders in perimenopause Why oral micronized progesterone beats topical for sleep optimization and hormonal stability How testosterone drives executive function, motivation, and brain optimization in women The lab tests every woman in perimenopause should run, including fasting insulin, ApoB, ferritin, and a full thyroid panel Why adverse childhood events and unresolved trauma age the ovaries and tank mitochondria How mold toxicity and Lyme disease create a hormonal perfect storm that no amount of supplements will fix The real reason 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women, and what hormones have to do with it Thank you to our sponsors! - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - Superstratum Labs | Get Dave's exact home mold detox kit and save 10% at superstratumlabs.com/products/dave - Joymode | Go to tryjoymode.com/DAVE Or enter DAVE at checkout for 20% off. - Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.

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. It is just $17 and I will be there live to answer your questions. Grab your spot here: https://drbethwestie.com/the-hormone-clarity-workshop/

In today's episode, Gina discusses how the body's histamine reaction and excessive histamine levels can contribute substantially to your anxiety experience. Normal histamine levels are important for proper immune system functioning. Many different foods can contribute to our bodily histamine load based on individual sensitivities. Listen in and come to better understand if you may be struggling with excessive histamines in your system and how you can make adjustments towards more balance in body and mind.Stillpoint Fridays is my once-a-week Friday note — a slower, more personal reflection that's different from what I share on the podcast.

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.

Do your high histamine issues feel unsolvable? In this episode, Dr. Motley explains the connection between histamines and your liver, some hidden symptoms, and his best tried-and-true remedies. He also makes the case for an unusual cause of histamine issues that you might want to consider if you can't shake them: your emotions and personal traumas.
