319: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: What is MCAS + Why It's So Devastating w/ Jill Carnahan
If you think that histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) are the same – they’re not. MCAS is a much more complex health concern, often requiring some degree of medical intervention depending on the severity of full-body symptoms.
In this episode, Dr. Jill Carnahan breaks down what mast cells are, how MCAS differs from histamine intolerance, and why getting the right diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. If you’re dealing with extreme histamine intolerance or unexplained symptoms, don’t miss this deep dive into MCAS!
