Today I'm joined by Dr. Henry Lindner, who has done tremendous work in researching and treating vector borne illnesses, specifically bartonella and babesia. We discuss symptoms, testing, and several treatment options that can support you in fighting the parasites that may be causing your underlying gut issues, fatigue and insomnia. Dr. Lindner also shares his personal experience with vector illnesses and what he is doing now to create more effective solutions.  

If you've experienced tick borne disease, you know it can be difficult to find the right care. Thus, I was very excited to have chronic illness expert, Dr. Myriah Hinchey on the podcast! In this episode, she sheds light on the best testing and treatment approaches that encourage patients to have hope and motivation for their healing. We discuss inflammation, handling die-off, alternative therapies, and more. Gain insight into vector borne illnesses and listen now!   

Are you or someone you love struggling with mysterious, multi-system symptoms—ranging from skin rashes and digestive issues to migraines and unexplained fatigue? You might have been searching for answers but keep hitting dead ends. If you've ever wondered if these diverse and seemingly unrelated symptoms could be connected, it might be time to consider Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). MCAS is a condition that affects up to 20% of the population, yet it remains underdiagnosed and misunderstood. In today's episode, I'll be walking you through the ins and outs of MCAS, from how it's diagnosed to the practical steps you can take for treatment. If you're feeling frustrated by traditional medicine's inability to connect the dots on your health issues, this episode will provide some much-needed clarity. Let's explore how MCAS could be the missing link in your health journey and what you can do about it. Key Points: What is MCAS and Why It's Misunderstood MCAS is a multi-system inflammatory condition affecting various parts of the body, causing symptoms like skin rashes, digestive issues, and fatigue. Often misunderstood, MCAS can go undiagnosed for years as patients seek answers from multiple specialists. Dr. Dempsey's Journey to MCAS Expertise Dr. Tanya Dempsey shares her personal journey into recognizing MCAS in her patients, explaining how her curiosity and persistence led her to uncover MCAS as a common, yet often overlooked condition affecting many of her patients. How MCAS is Diagnosed: Laboratory Markers and Clinical Features Diagnosing MCAS requires looking at specific clinical features and laboratory markers. Blood and urine tests can reveal mast cell mediators, while biopsies from gastrointestinal scoping procedures can show elevated mast cells in tissue samples. This segment discusses the complexities and difficulties in obtaining a definitive diagnosis. The Role of Triggers in MCAS Identifying triggers is crucial in managing MCAS. Dr. Dempsey explains how some triggers can be environmental, while others may be internal, making them difficult to pinpoint. Understanding your specific triggers is key to effective treatment. Treatment Options for MCAS: Antihistamines and Beyond The first line of treatment often includes antihistamines—both H1 and H2 blockers. This segment covers how trial and error is often needed to find the right combination for each individual. Natural options like Vitamin C and quercetin are also explored, offering listeners alternatives to pharmaceutical interventions. Living with MCAS: Individualized Treatment Approaches One size does not fit all when it comes to managing MCAS. Dr. Dempsey highlights the importance of a personalized approach, where patients must try different treatments systematically to find what works for them. The need for patience and persistence in the journey to wellness is emphasized. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome might be the missing piece in your complex health puzzle. Whether you're dealing with unexplained chronic symptoms or feeling frustrated by a lack of answers, understanding MCAS could bring you closer to relief. The key takeaway from today's episode is that while diagnosing and treating MCAS can be challenging, it is possible—and it starts with understanding your body's unique triggers. With a combination of personalized treatments, patience, and persistence, you can regain control of your health. If any of this sounds familiar, I encourage you to explore MCAS further and, if necessary, find a practitioner knowledgeable in its diagnosis and treatment. Let's continue this journey toward better health—one piece of the puzzle at a time.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a diagnosis that offers a new way of understanding patients with a wide array of elusive symptoms, resistant to conventional therapy. Dr. Tania Dempsey, an expert in dealing with complex diseases, has performed extensive research in collaboration with Dr. Lawrence Afrin, author of "Never Bet Against Occam: Mast Cell Activation Disease and the Modern Epidemics of Chronic Illness and Medical Complexity." Dr. Dempsey explains the many manifestations of MCAS, which go beyond mere classical allergies, including headaches, psychiatric symptoms, gastrointestinal problems, and even gynecological and urological complaints. Certain medications can help treat it, along with diet and natural supplements like quercetin, DAO, and luteolin. Triggers may include mold, environmental toxins, stress, and tick-borne infections. There's even speculation that MCAS may be responsible for some of the symptoms of Long Covid.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Tania Dempsey, an expert in dealing with complex diseases, about Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

Dr. Tania Dempsey discusses Mast Cell Activation Syndrome with Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]    Podcast Highlights 0:30  Mast cell activation syndrome.  Mast cells are immune cells found throughout the body that contain granules that contain various chemical mediators, including histamine and heparin.  Mast cells are involved in allergies and in various inflammatory and immune functions, including wound healing, angiogenesis, immune tolerance, and defense against pathogens. In mast cell activation syndrome, mast cells are inappropriately and excessively release chemical mediators, resulting in a range of symptoms that are grouped into cardiovascular, dermatological, GI, neurological, and respiratory in nature.  These include flushing, hives, a reddish complexion, itchiness, burning, lightheadedness, dizziness, arrhythmia, diarrhea or constipation, stomach pain, nausea, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, headaches, fatigue, lack of concentration, and other cognitive problems, congestion, coughing, and even anaphylaxis. 2:47  Dr. Dempsey first started to focus on mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) when researching trying to understand a patient who had a flare of this condition.  She spoke with Dr. Lawrence Afrin, who was a recognized expert on mast cell activation syndrome, who explained the mechanism for this condition.  She recognized that patients she had treated in the past probably had some elements of this condition as well. 12:05  MCAS is a multisystemic process and the most common symptoms include genital urinary complaints, hormonal complaints like endometriosis, painful periods, and excessive bleeding, migraines, interstitial cystitis, pain syndromes, high or low blood pressure, etc.. 13:36  Diagnosis of MCAS.  One test that Dr. Dempsey will do with patients is to take a tongue depressor and scrape it across the back of the patient.  If there is a skin reaction, that indicates that mast cells are releasing histamine and that the patient may have MCAS.  This is called dermatographism.  The lab testing for MCAS is tricky, since some of the mediators that can be measured are very short lived, so she has a refrigerated centrifuge in her lab to be able to specially process the samples.  There are a number of markers but there is no one marker that is definitive for making a diagnosis. Tryptase, histamine plasma or whole blood, chromagranin A, and C-reactive protein are markers that can be measured.  If the patient has had an endoscopy or colonoscopy, we can biopsy a sample of the intestinal mucosa and see if there are more than 20 mast cells in the field. You may see elevated eosinophils. 21:52  The QEESI is a validated questionaire that Dr. Dempsey recommends, that stands for The Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory that is available here: QEESI.         Dr. Tania Dempsey is an internationally recognized expert in chronic disease, autoimmune disorders and mast cell activation syndrome.  Dr. Dempsey received her MD from Johns Hopkins and she is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and a Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine.  Dr. Dempsey is the founder of the AIM Center for Personalized Medicine, in Purchase, New York, where she practices with Dr. Lawrence Afrin.  Her website is DrTaniaDempsey.com. Dr. Ben Weitz is available for Functional Nutrition consultations specializing in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders like IBS/SIBO and Reflux and also specializing in Cardiometabolic Risk Factors like elevated lipids, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure and also weight loss and also athletic performance, as well as sports chiropractic work by calling his Santa Monica office 310-395-3111.

A fascinating and informative conversation with integrative physician and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) expert, Dr. Tania Dempsey. Join me as we take a deep dive into this widely unknown and highly misunderstood disease, particularly the unique ways it impacts the female body. We start by defining MCAS in its most simplest terms, including its symptoms and the three categories of mast cell patients. Dr. Dempsey shares the percentage of the population affected by this illness and answers the question of whether it disproportionately impacts women. We also discuss the connection between hormones and MCAS, including the influence it has on female related health issues such as PMS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and endometriosis. I even have the chance to ask her opinion as a doctor on the medical misogyny that is rampant in our healthcare system and her suggestions on how patients can fight this sexism in their journey to find answers.
