This episode was so necessary. It made me understand a different perspective of healing and relationships. ❤
Solution please?
I love this chat!! So many wonderful topics ❤❤❤❤
🤎
So MCT OIL is a no ? I was going to add it because it’s in Gabrielle Lynn’s book
Lots of compassion here but as someone who struggles with some of this I have to say the Dr Lyons shout out and claims are just not accurate. Anyone who wants to know more should peruse NCBI and literature that’s free. You can’t subluxate your lower back. These doctors who sell care packages of supplements are predicated on specious interpretations of research. Ironic how functional folks use western science to sell unregulated supplements etc. you don’t speak because your brain has to send blood to your mouth lol. Enjoyed the dialogue. But nobody is fact checking anything. If you hear “detox” RUN! 🏃🏼♂️
Loved this episode !!
dark choc without the crack sugar I love himmm
This is by far my favorite podcast 🫶🏼
Such an amazing episode!
Question for the second ep you do on this!! Is there any relation between histamine or pots and migraines/headaches from internal body temperature? I am currently healing from chronic hives due to histamine overload from SIBO, and for years whenever I do any HIIT, run, walk in the heat, or even just spend too long in a sauna I get massive searing headaches and migraines. They can last days sometimes, and nothing helps them go away. I've tried magnesium, potassium, electrolytes, advil/tylenol, trace minerals and of course loads of water. Nothing seems to help and no dr (traditional, naturopathic, chiro, osteo etc) has been able to figure out what causes them. I'm really curious is this was an early sign of a histamine intolerance for me.
thats inspiring. if some one is dealing with Autoimmune issue, then he/she can try Planet Ayurveda Autoimmune care pack. It helps it treating you better.
Appreciate coverage of the topic, but I just wish these two would talk more calmly and slowly. I don't think I can make it through to the end as it's putting my nervous system on edge.
what a beautiful episode. so many gems and topics. need to double listen and take it in again ❤
I’ll need to listen to this a few times ❤ so many good nuggets, thank you for this
Olivia , thank you so much for this one 🫡 I had to stop mid episode and cry to my husband because it bought up feelings of immense grief from losing my mother. You guys hit the nail on the head with people who have experienced death and those who haven’t. I’ve taken so much positive knowledge away from this one and for sure and going to rethink my 15 🙏🏼
me reading the title with zero friends bc caregiving has taken over my life 👁️👁️
It’s getting worse !
Every single sentence is resonating sooo deeply!!
I thank God that I left medical school and became a Nutritionist ❤
WOW. So many insights yet so many questions. I have had many of these symptoms from birth..specifically very reactive skin in the form of hives from even a little scratch. I also have bad heat intolerance and always got the tomato red face when playing sports as a kid..still happens if I workout and I was always so embarrassed by it! I knew it wasn’t normal but did not know it was related to MCAS. My symptoms also got worse after mold exposure and I’ve been thru all of the detox things…live and learn 😅 QUESTION: Do these symptoms improve when pregnant since the immune system is tamped down a bit? What are we supposed to do for a prenatal if super reactive to B vits and other supplements? This would be a very interesting population to hear more about!
An allergy to stress!!! That hit so hard 😮💨😱🤯YES
Nettle tea , lemon balm, lavender, and chamomile seem to give me a histamine reaction. It’s so frustrating because I know how helpful they could be. But they just aren’t for me. I get itchy
I may be one of the few men struggling with many of these symptoms. I try to tuff it out but golly it makes earning a living for my family difficult.
Love all your podcasts. Can you make some podcasts about the benefits and downside of a plant based diet?
When you said that this is the healing/ nervous system regulation to listen to this and be able to relate🥺🩷thank you for this truly.
This episode was so validating. This year I have been doing everything i can to try and lower my stress response, I have been breaking out in hives daily. I honestly don’t lead a very stressful life, and I’m thinking that my pcos has to do with it. My adrenal glands are in overdrive producing way too much dheas, (stress hormone) so Ive been trying to lower that and realizing that is most likely my reason to having hives. Grateful for you sharing your knowledge with us ! Can’t wait for the part 2!!!
🦋💖💎🇨🇦
also does it matter if we use Pepcid AC? Ive never found just Pepcid lol
Thank you SO MUCH for covering this. I listened to the entire episode and theres not one part that I couldn't relate to. I'm experiencing a flare now and this truly helps me feel not alone. Also, something else I learned that you might find interesting is this syndrome is tied to the MAO-A /MAO-B gene mutation. It is the enzyme that is responsible for breaking down "amines" - seratonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, histamines, tyramines (found in aged/pickled food). 99% of what you covered is aligned with this gene abnormality. From histamine overload to why we can feel depleted after a lot of social interaction (dopamine overload).
Thank you so much!!!
I haven’t watched the whole episode but do they discuss the impacts of the Covid jabs? Instead of just saying it’s all long covid?
I FEEL SEEN!!!!!! Ugh the part when you feel the worse during ovulation when you shouldn’t 😪 thank you so much for this episode Olivia!!!!
I feel like coconut water was a thing for a while. Didn’t we consider it electrolytes? 😅
Lol yes I got sucked in and sea moss with 92minerals lol
So so extremely helpful and timely. Thanks so much y’all!
Leptine gives signal to the brain not eating more and only found in fat and protein
Been waiting for this one! 🙌🏾
my FAV!!!
Thank you so much for making these, perfect timing as always!
awesome info. Video picture stops around 2:00 or so. some off editing to be aware of
THANK YOU!!!!! Forgive the long comment, but I truly want to cry because I feel like someone truly gets what I have been going through. Someone sent me this podcast after we chatted about our common unresolved weird symptoms that have put a hold on our lives. I have looked for YEARS to find an answer to what was always written off as ‘fibromyalgia.’ For 30 years I was on Tramadol 200mg a day JUST to get from one event to the next. It’s been a CONSTANT rollercoaster, sometimes from one minute to the next. Just being happy about something is a tax on my system. I always describe it as having a really bad battery where I have to sit quietly and rest and ‘recharge’ for weeks sometimes, to recover from a ‘good stretch,’ only to have my battery depleted from doing the smallest things. Even talking is too much! I’m alert but my body ‘didn’t get the memo,’ It feels so stressed I can’t function. SO many bizarre symptoms!! Docs all say my symptoms are ‘atypical’ 😡 I am afraid to eat anything because food takes me down. It doesn’t energize me no matter HOW ‘healthy’ it is. I took myself off Tramadol for ‘fibro’ a year and a half ago, very slowly. I refused all the meds they kept getting me to try that only made things worse. I kept saying it’s not my blood pressure that is the problem! It is WHAT IS CAUSING the random spikes, that is the problem and I’m NOT going to take meds just so my numbers look good on paper! I needed to find the ROOT CAUSE so I didn’t end up on more meds to counter act side effects from the OTHER meds. I have tried to cut out SOOOO many foods and added in many ‘healthy,’ foods and supplements, I THOUGHT, only to find out that histamine intolerance just might be my root cause. I was doing things like lemon water and bone broth, among many other things THINKING I was working on my immune system and gut health🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I did have to have a valve replacement 5 years ago so the symptoms I have had have been concerning, but my tests come back normal. The strange symptoms SEEM cardiac related but for the most part, have been ruled out. I also had a partial nephrectomy for clear cell renal cancer. With both surgeries I was actually excited, thinking THIS time, I found the problem and afterwards I would have my life back. Not so. 😢 I was researching lectins, which led to research on MAST cell and histamine problems. I’m sure that foods with lectins more than likely trigger histamines without doing any comparisons yet. I seriously feel like I may have answers now. THANK YOU again! For your wealth of information and sharing your experience. I look forward to learning more and implementing what will HOPEFULLY be the answer to my prayers. ✌🏼❤
Thank you so much Olivia and Michelle for this amazing video! I was diagnosed with histamine intolerance by a smart doctor back in 2019 and have been managing it since through my own research on symptoms, supplements, and all types of cures I could find. Hearing you talk about lemons and oranges and red blotches after hot water showers made me smile and relate so much! In my case my symptoms are mainly related to severe migraines with nausea, deep fatigue and other random symptoms that can last several days. I have also had severs reactions similar to food poisoning when I had tofu, peanuts and leeks (still figuring this one out 🤔). I did want to mention that DAO supplements literally changed my life. I even found a Spanish brand NATURDAO PLUS that contains lots of added supplements and is made from peas and not from pig kidneys. After almost a year of being on a histamine-free and low-histamine diet, I just couldn't continue that way and had to start adding more foods and the only way was with DAO's help. I still got symptoms sometimes but at least other times I would be OK. One of the hardest thing I feel is the lack of predictability because as you said it depends on how full your bucket is from stress or other things. Sometimes you can eat a high-histamine food and be OK and other times you'll be in bed for 3 days!! However, I am fortunately now able to eat lemons, tomatoes, tahini and many more things thanks to DAO. The stress of always thinking of what I can eat and when and whether I have an important outing the next day, etc. remains but I am confident that we will all find more and more ease in this situation. Also calming my nervous system has been key. Introducing daily breathing and vagus nerve exercises has helped a lot. I also started taking L-Glutamine a month ago and I have a sense that it is helping as well. Just listening to you, I feel less alone and more seen as I am the only one in my entourage who has this syndrome. Sending you both Love and Blessings on your journey ✨
wowwww this episode is everything i needed at this exact moment. the gnawing feeling in my stomach thinking im hungry but im so nauseous is how i feel EVERY morning lol and i hate it.
@18:18 on that note, I will listen to this later and go just cook dinner now 😂😂🙏🏻
So validating. thank you Olivia for providing some of the answers that i’ve searched the web up and down for and found NOTHING. can’t wait for pt2❤️
So happy for this episode and gaining more understanding, been having such a chronic congestion for so long and temperature changes send me into sneezing fits and runny nose. Such a doozy to sort out.
I feel so beyond seen. This episode was SO illuminating, for all of these random symptoms and issues I have been experiencing for most of my life. I've always been hypermobile, and times of stress in my life would always cause the most intense visceral physical symptoms that my western doctors always wrote off as anxiety and just gave me some benzos. Most recently, after getting a strong bout of COVID in August I have had ongoing major flares that caused endless heart palpitations, insomnia, tremors, dizziness, reflux, & blood pressure issues to name just a few of the random symptoms I've experienced. Torturous was exactly the right word. It got to the point where I had to go on medical leave from work, and I had more time to investigate my symptoms further. This all led me to Michelle's HSB Hub, and finally after trying a few supplements and taking antihistamines I'm slowly working my way to some relief and normality. I can't thank you both enough for this amazing work you are doing! It is literally life changing. Cannot wait for part two 💖
I relate so much, my flare ups started after Covid too, since I learned about low histamine diet, my life changed so so much ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this conversation! Absolutely illuminating. Looking forward to the next episode :))
i am so so so so so glad you interviewed this woman. i love her work and you are the best person interviewer. what a juicy podcast! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
But but but what if I wanted a sciency healer that tells me to scream into a hole in the earth 😢
