The Importance of Electrolyte Balance for Health

214: In this episode, I’m diving into all things histamine—what it is, how it functions, and why it might be the missing link in your hormone and immune health journey. After sharing insights on the connection between histamine sensitivity and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the response was massive. 

I’m unpacking why histamine issues are more than just food reactions, how they relate to estrogen, menopause, and chronic inflammation, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. I’ve dealt with histamine challenges my whole life and supported countless patients through it.  This episode is a deep, honest look at the bigger picture behind histamine imbalance.

Topics Discussed: 

• What are the symptoms of histamine intolerance and how is it connected to hormone imbalances?

• How does histamine affect estrogen levels and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

• What causes high histamine levels and how can you support balance naturally?

• What is the difference between histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)?

• How do lifestyle factors, diet, and gut health influence histamine sensitivity?
