Check out start.nurp.com/doctors  to learn more. --- Why are so many patients still struggling with debilitating symptoms years after COVID—and why does conventional medicine seem to have so few answers? In this encore presentation, Drs. Tim and May Hindmarsh sit down with internist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough for an in-depth discussion about long COVID, persistent spike protein, chronic inflammation, and the growing number of patients experiencing symptoms that don't fit neatly into traditional medical models. The conversation explores why some individuals develop lingering neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune-related symptoms long after infection, the emerging theories surrounding persistent spike protein, and the ongoing debate over diagnostics and treatment approaches. Whether you're a clinician, patient, or simply trying to understand why long COVID remains such a challenging condition, this episode dives into one of the most controversial and widely discussed topics in post-pandemic medicine. Note: This episode is being re-released due to continued listener interest. The discussion reflects the guests' perspectives and the evidence available at the time of recording. Research into COVID-19, long COVID, and related therapies continues to evolve. In This Episode Why long COVID continues to puzzle physicians Symptoms that extend far beyond the respiratory system The connection between inflammation, clotting, and neurological symptoms Current theories surrounding persistent spike protein Why some patients experience dramatically different recoveries Autoimmune responses and chronic immune dysregulation Mast cell activation and histamine intolerance The role of the gut microbiome in recovery Challenges surrounding laboratory testing and diagnosis Why individualized treatment approaches remain essential Emerging therapies being explored for long COVID The importance of continuing research into post-viral illness About Our Guest Dr. Peter McCullough is a board-certified internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic he became one of the most recognizable physicians discussing early treatment strategies, vaccine safety, and long COVID. His work has generated both significant attention and controversy within the medical community. Key Takeaway Long COVID is not a one-size-fits-all condition. While researchers continue investigating its underlying mechanisms, patients and clinicians alike are searching for better ways to diagnose, understand, and treat persistent post-viral symptoms. This episode explores one physician's perspective on those ongoing challenges and why continued research remains critical.

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.

MCAS or histamine intolerance? Discover the 2 MCAS mindsets that can make or break recovery.

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.

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.

If allergy season hits you harder every year—sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, puffy face, and low energy—this episode breaks down why.In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, Monika explains the real reason your body is reacting so strongly during allergy season and why it's not just about pollen. You'll learn how histamine works in the body, what the “histamine bucket” is, and how your gut health, liver function, and stress levels can all impact your body's ability to tolerate seasonal allergens.This episode connects the dots between immune response, digestion, inflammation, and burnout—helping you understand why your symptoms may be getting worse and what your body is trying to tell you. If your allergies feel worse than they should, this episode will help you understand why and what your body is actually trying to tell you. Thanks for listening.

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 more fatigued, more tense, more reactive, or just feeling off — this episode is for you.It's not in your head. There's a specific physiological reason spring can feel harder than it should, especially if you've been dealing with chronic health conditions or you live in a northern climate.In this episode I break down what's actually happening in your body as it transitions from winter's lower output state into spring's higher metabolic demand — and why that shift requires mineral support most people don't have coming out of winter.We cover:Why your body feels worse when things are supposed to be getting betterThe role of sodium, potassium, and magnesium in seasonal transitionsWhy muscle tension and stiffness spike in early springWhy seasonal allergies are a mineral story as much as a pollen storyWhat it actually means to support your body through the season rather than push through itSpring isn't asking you to do more.

Hannah Kleinfeld is the co-founder and COO of Omni-Biotic US, a Yale and Harvard graduate, and a certified health coach whose personal battle with Lyme disease drove her deep into functional medicine and microbiome science. Omni-Biotic is the number one probiotic brand in Europe, used in hospital systems alongside antibiotic treatment, and is now bringing that clinical-grade research to the US market. Dave and Hannah go deep on the gut-brain axis, the vagus nerve, and how dysbiosis drives everything from brain fog and poor sleep optimization to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and compromised mitochondria. They cover how GLP-1 drugs slow gut transit time and trigger secondary dysbiosis, why most capsule probiotics rehydrate in stomach acid and fail, how short-chain fatty acids like butyrate cross the blood-brain barrier to regulate neuroinflammation, and how your gut bacteria directly control your heart rate variability, hormones, libido, and skin. This is biohacking your biology from the inside out, and it goes far deeper than supplements and fasting. You'll Learn: Why GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic create secondary dysbiosis and what to do about it How gut inflammation suppresses HRV, disrupts sleep, and accelerates aging Why most probiotics rehydrate in stomach acid and never make it to your intestines The gut-brain connection behind ADHD, brain fog, anxiety, and mood disorders How dysbiosis sabotages weight loss by skewing Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratios What the vagus nerve has to do with stress resilience and mitochondria health How to support your microbiome through antibiotics, travel, and SIBO recovery The histamine problem hiding inside popular probiotic strains Why the first 1,000 days of a baby's life shape lifelong immunity and HPA axis function How targeted probiotic formulations are changing functional medicine Thank you to our sponsors!

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-12-2026: Dr. Dawn discusses Michael Pollan's critique of MAHA dietary recommendations, agreeing that ultra-processed foods should be avoided but noting the lack of science supporting high saturated fat intake. She acknowledges extra virgin coconut oil as an exception that doesn't raise LDL, and pushes back on the social Darwinism embedded in anti-vaccine, anti-welfare MAHA thinking. Dr. Dawn expresses serious concern about Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician who dropped out of residency to become a wellness influencer. She objects to Means hawking supplements and glucose monitors for personal profit—conduct she considers unethical for a physician giving medical advice. An emailer from Switzerland shares success managing histamine intolerance by avoiding aged meats, shellfish, fermented foods, and cross-reactive pollens during hay fever season. The game-changer was taking DAO (diamine oxidase) supplements before meals to break down histamine in the gut. Researchers found that blood from pediatricians who worked in children's hospitals for over a decade contains powerful antibodies against RSV—up to 25% more effective than existing treatments—built up through years of constant exposure. Dr. Dawn critiques a study finding 2.5 times more microplastics in prostate tumor tissue than surrounding healthy tissue, noting that fast-growing cancers develop extra blood vessels and would naturally incorporate more circulating plastics. She attributes the 6% rise in late-stage prostate cancer to discontinued PSA screening rather than microplastics. An emailer asks what to do about microplastics already in our bodies. Dr. Dawn says there's no way to remove them, and advises avoiding microwaving in plastic, limiting breaded processed foods, and rinsing well after brushing teeth with plastic bristles. AI analysis of mammograms can now detect breast artery calcification as a marker for cardiovascular disease risk, with severe calcification indicating 3.3 times greater risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. This could identify high-risk women years before cardiac events. Dr. Dawn questions a non-peer-reviewed study presented at an orthopedic meeting found five years of GLP-1 drug use associated with 30% higher osteoporosis risk, 150% higher osteomalacia risk, and increased tendon ruptures—likely from reduced food intake and vitamin D consumption. Twin studies now estimate genetics account for 55% of lifespan variation when separating internal biological causes from external factors. Separately, fathers who showed warmth and responsiveness to 10-month-old babies had children with lower inflammation and better blood sugar regulation at age 7—an effect not seen with mothers' parenting. Grandparents actively involved in childcare showed slower cognitive decline than non-caregiving grandparents. Dancing emerged as the standout physical activity for dementia prevention—combining aerobic exercise, social interaction, music, and motor coordination—with three hours weekly showing observable benefits.

Send a textIf you've ever felt like every system in your body has a problem — your digestion is off, your skin is reactive, your mood is unpredictable, you're exhausted but wired, and nothing you try seems to hold — this episode is for you.Most people are chasing ten different symptoms. What they actually have is one problem. A boundary problem. And that boundary is the gut barrier.This episode is the next installment in my Terrain Map series — a Rosetta Stone style body of work I've been building to help you understand what's actually happening ecologically inside your body. Each episode builds on the last. This one goes deeper into the living ecosystem that determines what your immune system reacts to, what your nervous system has to manage, and why when that boundary breaks down, the body stops feeling like a safe place to live in.I cover:What the gut barrier actually is — not just a lining, but a living ecosystem of mucus layers, epithelial cells, tight junction proteins, and microbial communities that together determine what stays out and what gets inWhat breaks it down — and why the answer is almost always a combination of things that match the life that's been livedWhat a compromised barrier actually feels like beyond digestive symptoms — including the signs most people never connect to their gutThe mineral catch-22 — why you need specific minerals to rebuild the barrier but a compromised barrier means you can't absorb them properly, and why this loop keeps people supplementing forever without resultsWhat restoration actually requires — sequenced, terrain-first, in the right order at the right paceI also reference two previous episodes that go deeper into the generational piece — how what your mother carried in her microbiome shaped your starting point before you had any say in it:How Maternal Microbiomes Shape Immune Health: lydiajoy.mykajabi.com/blog/how-maternal-microbiomes-charge-immune-healthHealing Burnout: How Mothers and Environment Shape Our Health: lydiajoy.mykajabi.com/blog/Healing-Burnout-How-Mothers-and-Environment-Shape-Our-HealthIf you've been in this space for a while doing the right things and still not getting to the bottom of it — this is the conversation you've been missing.Support the show Support the podcast Mineral Foundations Course HERE Minerals & Microbes package HERE Rewilded Wellness program HERE Join my newsletter HERE If you are interested in becoming a client and have questions, reach out by emailing me: lydiajoyme@gmail.com Find me on Instagram : @ Lydiajoy.me

In this episode of the Healing Powers Podcast, host Laura Michelle Powers speaks with medical doctor and functional medicine expert Dr. Kelly McCann about mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), histamine intolerance, and the growing number of people experiencing unexplained chronic symptoms. Although mast cell activation was only first described in medical literature in 2007, research suggests that up to one in five people may be affected.Dr. McCann explains how mast cells—an important part of the immune system—can become overly reactive due to environmental toxins, mold exposure, infections, stress, and trauma. When this happens, it can trigger widespread inflammation throughout the body and lead to symptoms such as allergies, brain fog, digestive issues, insomnia, migraines, anxiety, and fatigue. Laura also shares her own experiences with mold exposure and sensitivities, highlighting how many people struggle to get answers through conventional testing.Learn more about Dr. Kelly McCann at thespringcenter.com As Dr. Kelly referenced, you can find more information and locate mold-aware professionals through the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI): https://iseai.org/Kelly K. McCann, MD, MPH is a triple board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Integrative Medicine, with additional certifications in Functional Medicine and Medical Acupuncture. She is the founder of The Spring Center in Costa Mesa, California, where she specializes in complex chronic illness, including Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, mold and mycotoxin illness, Lyme disease, and environmentally acquired conditions.Dr. McCann has hosted multiple international summits on MCAS and allergy-related illness and serves on the boards of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and was a founding Board member of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness. A graduate of Tulane University School of Medicine and one of only 35 physicians worldwide to complete the residential fellowship at the University of Arizona's Center for Integrative Medicine, she also holds a Master's in Spiritual Psychology.Her work is now evolving into what she calls The Unforgetting Project: a new healing paradigm that bridges functional medicine with spiritual psychology, inviting patients to experience symptoms not as failures, but as meaningful messages guiding them back to wholeness.Laura is a Celebrity Psychic who has been featured by Buzzfeed, The Weakest Link, Beast Games, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, the CW, Motherboard by Vice Magazine and the #1” Ron Burgundy Podcast” with Will Ferrell.

Send a textIn this episode, I'm talking about boundaries in the body — not just emotional or relational boundaries, but biological ones.If you've been feeling porous, reactive, sensitive to everything around you, unable to regulate, or like you're absorbing more than you can hold… this may not be a personality flaw. It may be your terrain.We're in a season of repair, and I want to help you understand what's actually happening underneath the surface.I walk you through:• The gut lining as your first biological boundary• How intestinal permeability (leaky gut) creates chronic immune activation• Why histamine overload makes you feel allergic to life• How mineral depletion affects nervous system containment• The role of microbial diversity in strengthening or degrading your inner ecosystem• Why motility and drainage matter just as much as “sealing the gut”If your tight junctions are compromised, your immune system never fully stands down. If your microbiome is dysbiotic, inflammatory metabolites affect your mood, cognition, and stress response. If your minerals are depleted, your nervous system loses clarity and your cells lose their ability to hold a charge.This isn't woo. It's biology.And it's deeply connected to how you experience boundaries in your daily life.If you haven't already, I recommend listening to my earlier episode where I break down the mechanisms of leaky gut and metabolic endotoxemia in detail:

Send a textIn this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino talks with Dr. Alex, a chiropractor who approaches chronic symptoms through immune response, nervous system function, nutrition, and environmental triggers. They unpack common root causes behind headaches, brain fog, fatigue, hormone issues, and histamine imbalance, plus why so many people are told “your labs look normal” while still feeling awful.They also explore how mold exposure can affect different people in the same home in completely different ways, why fixing the environment is often step one, and how detox should start with foundational pathways like digestion, hydration, sweating, and lymphatic support. Dr. Alex shares how he uses testing to personalize protocols and why there should always be a plan, not just a prescription.If you are dealing with chronic symptoms, suspected mold exposure, histamine issues, or fertility concerns, this conversation will help you understand what to look at next.00:00 Intro: Michael welcomes Dr. Alex00:30 Dr. Alex background: pain, spine, neuro issues, immune response01:30 Why people seek help and why symptom chasing fails02:10 Headaches: structural causes vs histamine and hormones03:00 Histamine explained in simple terms and why it matters04:20 Why Dr. Alex moved into a functional approach05:30 Chronic inflammation from “healthy” foods and hidden triggers07:10 “Test, do not guess” for the body and the home09:00 Never Been Sicker: rising prescriptions and chronic illness10:10 Why chiropractors do not prescribe and the herbal foundation11:20 “Where is the plan to get people off meds?”13:00 No quick fixes: the effort required to actually heal15:20 Nutrition confusion and why bio individuality wins16:30 Same house, different symptoms: immune response differences19:20 Environmental toxins are involved for most patients21:00 Michael explains hidden mold drivers and building science basics23:00 Why you cannot heal fully while still living in exposure24:05 Infertility, hormones, and mold disruption26:00 Using the Dust Test and pairing it with body testing28:00 How Dr. Alex realized mold was part of stubborn cases31:15 Biggest lie: “You'll be on meds for life” and “labs are normal”36:00 Care matters: rushed appointments vs real root cause time38:30 Detox foundations: lymph, hydration, movement, sweating40:45 Why random binders can backfire if pathways are blocked43:00 Controversies: normalizing toxins, fluoride, root canals45:00 Where to find Dr. Alex and his practice-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you’ve been "eating clean," tracking your macros, and strictly following a low FODMAP diet but you’re still dealing with bloating, puffiness, and anxiety, this episode is a must-listen. If your "IBS" feels more like full-body inflammation—or if it flares right before your period—it’s time to stop looking at FODMAPs and start looking at histamine. Today, we are unpacking why low FODMAP isn't a "forever" fix and how a gut-immune-hormone feedback loop might be the real reason you aren't healing. In this episode, we dive into: Histamine 101: Why this normal immune chemical becomes a nightmare when your "bucket" overflows and your DAO enzymes can't keep up. The "Inflammatory Bloat": How to tell the difference between standard gas and a histamine reaction (clue: do leftovers, spinach, or wine wreck you?). The Estrogen-Histamine Loop: Why your symptoms fluctuate with your cycle and why histamine spikes often mirror PMS and perimenopausal flares. Beyond Food Restrictions: Why histamine intolerance isn’t a root cause—it’s a symptom—and how stress and SIBO are fueling the fire. The 4-Step Repair Plan: From "calming the fire" with nervous system regulation to fixing the hormone drivers that allow histamine to build up. Histamine intolerance isn’t a life sentence of avoiding avocados; it’s a signal that your system needs deep, root-cause support. Your gut isn't broken, it's just over-responsive. P.S. If you’re tired of the guessing game and want to find out if histamine is the missing piece of your IBS puzzle, let’s jump on Zoom for a quick call and brainstorm how to get to the root cause.

Send a textMost people come to my work when they've hit an impasse.They've tried the diets. The protocols. The lab tests. The supplement stacks. They've run parasite cleanses, gut protocols, detoxes, hormone panels, food sensitivity tests — sometimes for years. And while pieces helped, nothing rebuilt their body in a way that felt stable or sustainable.In this episode, I'm naming what I see happening underneath that cycle.Many people aren't failing at healing. They're trying to force coherence without first restoring capacity.When we chase symptoms, isolate labels like SIBO, MCAS, histamine intolerance, adrenal fatigue, or hormone imbalance, and layer interventions onto an already overwhelmed system, the body adapts — until it can't.Your gut, nervous system, immune system, fascia, hormones, and mineral terrain don't operate as separate departments. They adapt together. And when we treat one piece without reorganizing the terrain underneath it, nothing holds.Real healing requires a parasympathetic pace.Your gut lining does not regenerate in fight-or-flight. Tight junctions don't seal under chronic stress. Missing keystone bacteria don't recolonize in a system that feels unsafe. Minerals don't rebalance when your nervous system is braced.In this episode, I walk through:Why elimination diets often narrow resilience instead of restoring itWhy protocol cycling creates fragmentationWhat Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) actually reveals about long-term stress patternsWhy gut remodeling only happens in contextWhy minerals are foundational to nervous system and microbiome repairWhat mentorship-based healing looks like instead of hand-off protocolsI share how I structure my Minerals & Microbes program — not as a quick fix, but as paced terrain work that builds capacity over time.This episode is for you if:You feel like you've “done everything” and are still stuckYou're burned out on protocolsYou want to rebuild instead of manageYou're ready for coherence, not more intensityHealing isn't about surrendering authority.It's about reclaiming it — with guidance.If this conversation brings relief instead of urgency, you're probably in the right place.You can learn more about working with me through my Minerals & Microbes program on my website.Support the show Support the podcast Mineral Foundations Course HERE Minerals & Microbes package HERE Rewilded Wellness program HERE Join my newsletter HERE If you are interested in becoming a client and have questions, reach out by emailing me: lydiajoyme@gmail.com Find me on Instagram : @ Lydiajoy.me

Have you been told you have histamine intolerance… so now you're cutting out everything—leftovers, fermented foods, bone broth, even avocado—because you read they're histamine high foods… and you're still reacting? Or maybe you don't have an “official” diagnosis… but you've got classic histamine intolerance symptoms like anxiety, reflux, bloating, eczema, dizziness, insomnia, or weird food reactions… and you're wondering if histamine is the problem? Or you've tried all the things to treat high histamine - low histamine diet, histamine intolerance supplements like DAO, even a full-on histamine intolerance treatment plan from another practitione - but you still have histamine symptoms, so you're asking: why won't my histamine calm down? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, then this episode is for you. Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series—where I take conditions that get treated like the root cause… and I show you what's actually driving them. Because knowing a fake root cause vs. a real root cause is the difference between managing symptoms forever… or finally getting your life back. Today's topic is: histamine. In this episode, I'm breaking down:What histamine intolerance really is The most common histamine intolerance symptoms you're probably not connecting to histamineWhy a low histamine diet can become a cyclical trap that never heals youThe 6 real root causes that keep histamine high (even when you “eat perfectly”)And how to choose the right testing and support to find and reverse those root causes And one more thing—because I'm doing something fun for this whole series: visuals. If you're a visual learner and want the flow chart that goes with this episode, go to betterbellytherapies.com/root and download the graphics. Because when you stop trying to avoid high histamine food like they're your enemy… and start fixing what's making your body unable to handle histamine - that's when you get your life back.

Digestive symptoms of histamine overload are very similar to irritable bowel syndrome, so how can you work out if this is what is driving your gut health issues. This week I cover: What is histamine and what does it do in your bodyCauses of too much histamineIs a low histamine diet effective for managing histamine overload? What kind of histamine protocol could you try to test your tolerance to histamine?More on this in my newly released book - there is a whole chapter on histamine and the gut.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Arianne: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, I want to say thank you for all of your resources! I start every day with your podcast - it is truly the best out there! My question is regarding the medication, Leucovorin, and its use in treating Autism. I have a 3 year old son who is non-verbal and is moderately Autistic. His pediatrician has prescribed Leucovorin on a titration schedule where he will be monitored for its effects. To note my own lab results, I have MTHFR, high levels of mercury and aluminum, low electrolytes/minerals, anemia/low ferritin, and gut issues - likely these were passed along to my son. I plan to have him complete the labs now that he is old enough. What is your advice on Leucovorin and its safety & efficacy, also should I be concerned with potential fillers and aluminum in the drug?       Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I was just wondering if all bovine collagen has protein in it, even if it doesn't say it on the label? And if so, does the protein count towards my daily protein intake? Thank you so much in advance for answering!                                                                                                                                                                      Jonny: Hello Dr. Cabral, Recently done some mitochondrial testing and found that my complex 2+3 are operating at 16% activity, and complex 2 at 58%, so there unable to turn substrate into energy efficiently. I'm wondering if you have any advice. Currently dealing with CIRS, Sibo/dysbiosis/chronic stress/Trauma. Non starchy carbs make me jittery, as well as stressors in general, but it's not blood sugar, as I've worn monitors and my levels seem fairly ideal. I think it's the CIRS jitters, shakiness that I've heard you speak of. I just got your new book, so I'm going to read through that for any tips. Already taking adrenal soothe, working with a therapist, doing my best to lower the stressors in my life. I know 90-120 days for red blood cell/mitochondrial turnover, so things can take time. Thanks                            Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've heard conflicting advice on cold plunging for people with high stress or adrenal dysregulation. How to you determine if cold exposure if supportive or not.

I'm wrapping up the year by answering your questions in this first of a two-part Q&A, and we cover a lot of ground. From confusing lab results to hormone dosing debates, I dig into the questions so many of you are quietly wondering about. What does high ferritin really mean? Is it iron—or something else entirely? We'll also take a look at hormone replacement frustrations. Why do some people still bleed months into HRT? Are injections better than patches or creams? And how do you know if your body is actually absorbing what you're taking? I share real-world context, common patterns I see, and why one-size-fits-all advice can be misleading. This episode also touches on bigger, more nuanced questions. How do genetics like BRCA status factor into hormone decisions? Can stress, immune health, or histamine issues change how hormones affect you? And in perimenopause, is balance even realistic, or are we chasing the wrong goal? In this episode, we uncover: How to interpret high ferritin levels and what they may signal beyond iron. Why hormone absorption issues can cause unexpected symptoms like bleeding. What typical testosterone and estrogen injection doses actually look like. How stress, inflammation, and immunity intersect with hormone health. What to consider when navigating HRT during perimenopause versus menopause. Tune in now if you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or overwhelmed by hormone advice.

Join Patreon to get access to HTMA case studies here!Some of your loudest hormone symptoms are actually mineral problems in disguise.In this episode, I pick up our December mineral series and move from the foundation minerals into the tiny trace players that run the control panel. Minerals like copper, zinc, iron, manganese, chromium, selenium and boron act as cofactors for hormones, thyroid and blood sugar, and they can make or break energy, mood and cycles even when the basics look ok. On paper, a lot of women are told everything looks “normal” while their bodies are clearly not ok. I get into what it feels like when minerals are out of balance, from emotional spikes and wired-tired nights to heavy, painful cycles and those nagging aches that never quite go away. Instead of chasing every new fix, I zoom out to show how your system compensates and what that reveals about where support actually needs to go.This is part 2 of 3 of my Mineral Series. Tune into episodes 12 and 14 to deepen your knowledge.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:32] Why trace minerals act like the body's control panel even when macros look good[03:36] The real reason copper makes symptoms worse when it isn't bioavailable[04:22] The overlooked signs your body isn't tolerating a copper IUD[11:11] How hair testing reveals hidden copper stored in tissues when blood looks normal[12:53] What zinc really does for fertility and thyroid function beyond immunity[13:48] Why zinc backfires when sodium is low and the surprising symptoms that follow[19:19] The connection between gut health, iron overload, and “mystery” fatigue[22:46] How manganese supports joints, blood sugar, and the nervous system in ways most women miss[26:38] The thyroid-protective role of selenium and why depletion hits detox hard[27:41] The way boron helps hormones communicate and why stress quietly drains itRelated Hormone Healing Episodes:Master Your Minerals Course | WebsiteHow to do mineral testing | EpisodeCalcium deep dive | EpisodeMagnesium deep dive | EpisodeSodium deep dive | EpisodePotassium deep dive | EpisodeMaster your minerals.

Do you feel like you get crazy histamine intolerance symptoms as your body reacts to everything — certain foods, smells, stress, or even the weather? Symptoms such as itchy skin, rashes, dermatographia, angioedema, bloating, or headaches that seem to appear out of nowhere are often linked to histamine intolerance.But before you blame your diet and dive headfirst into a low-histamine diet, know that food isn't likely to blame. After working with over 1,000 clients, I can tell you that there are deeper, more pressing issues that drive urticaria and chronic hives.Let's dive into why you probably don't have histamine intolerance (despite having all the symptoms), how histamine intolerance differs from MCAS, and what's really triggering these crazy histamine reactions. From mold exposure to liver detox issues and hormone imbalances, we explore how these hidden factors can lead to ongoing inflammation and itchy skin that just won't quit.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- FREE Root Cause Finder Guide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/rootcauseguide-pod - See all the references

Gracie's known as our resident mold expert, her own experience with repeated exposures and years of functional training have given her a grounded, compassionate approach that takes the fear out of mold illness.We unpack what mold actually is, how it affects the body, and why it's showing up for so many women today. There are hidden ways it grows, reasons you can't “detox” while you're still living in it, and simple ways to make your home less mold-friendly. Because sometimes the smartest move isn't adding another supplement, it's changing the environment your body's trying to heal in.This is a part 1 of a 2-part video series where Gracie and I cover everything about mold and how to prevent it.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:13] The early signs of mold exposure that first showed up in Gracie's college dorm[02:48] How mercury fillings, fertility struggles, and fatigue pointed toward deeper mold issues[06:06] The surprising barrier she faced as an RD trying to get mold training, and what changed everything[10:05] What mold actually is, and the three ways it spreads and harms the body[16:28] Why mold illness can look like “random” health issues from sinus infections to hormone chaos[20:39] How humidity, darkness, and even dust create the perfect environment for mold to thrive[31:24] The reason you can't detox mold while you're still living in it, and what happens if you try[36:40] Practical ways to prevent mold in everyday life, from humidity monitors to open windowsResources Mentioned:Dr. Jill Crista Mold Training Certification | CourseIntellipure Air Purifier | WebsiteAirfree Air Purifier | WebsiteIQAir Air Purifier | WebsiteThermoPro Humidity Meter | WebsiteThe Feminine Periodical Newsletter | WebsiteYou can work 1:1 with Gracie here.Master your minerals.

In this solo episode, Dr. Steph dives deep into the complex world of mast cell activation, histamine intolerance, and anxiety that isn't really “just anxiety.” She explains how toxins, infections, mold, and even environmental factors like 5G and chemicals can hijack your body's immune and nervous systems, creating a cascade of symptoms that often get mislabeled as anxiety or panic. Dr. Steph breaks down what mast cells actually do, how chronic inflammation starts, and why so many people feel “electric,” overstimulated, or stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Through a recent real-life case study, she reveals how everyday exposures (like an epoxy garage renovation) can re-trigger old health patterns, and she outlines how to calm the system using binders, nutrition, lymphatic support, and vagus nerve regulation. This episode is equal parts science and story, helping listeners connect the dots between their symptoms and their biology, and reminding them that true healing starts when we ask: Is it anxiety… or is it toxicity?Let us know your thoughts on this episode here

I explain how it's a constant, built in process led by the liver.

If you've been struggling with unexplained headaches, hives, heartburn, or itching, histamine intolerance might be the hidden cause. In this episode, dietitians Melanie Beasley and Britni Vincent explain what histamine intolerance is, why it happens, and how to start feeling better. Learn how foods, stress, hormones, and gut health all play a role - and what simple changes can bring real relief.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we tackle one of the most overlooked and misunderstood health concerns of our time: Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). These conditions often appear with “mystery symptoms” like skin issues, digestive discomfort, headaches, fatigue, and strange food or chemical reactions—many of which have surged in the post-COVID era. Jared explains what histamine really is, why your body sometimes produces too much of it, and how mast cells can become overactive, creating a flood of inflammation. You'll learn about the role of DAO (Diamine Oxidase), the enzyme that helps break down food-based histamine, and why supplementing it can be a game-changer for many. You'll also hear about supportive tools and practical strategies to lower your histamine load, calm mast cells, and rebuild gut health. If you've been dismissed, told it's “just anxiety,” or left without answers, this episode offers clarity, hope, and practical steps to explore. Relief is possible—and it starts with understanding the root cause.Products DiscussedAdditional Information:DAO Blog Post with High Histamine Food ListVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.
