It took years of trial and error for Dr. Becky Campbell to discover she suffered from Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a condition which meant her body couldn’t break down histamines. Certain foods – even the “healthy” ones – would leave her with a crippling migraine or feeling exhausted. Extreme heat and cold were also big no-nos. The game changed when she began to explore histamine intolerance through a functional lens. She cured her body and formulated the four phase histamine reset plan that helps you identify your lifestyle and food triggers and eliminate the ingredients causing you to feel bad. We discuss how you can spot if you have histamine intolerance, the dietary steps that will combat a myriad of issues such as vertigo, allergies, migraines, and the supplements that can support your system. Plus, we explore the link between COVID-19 and histamine intolerance issues, and how functional medicine can treat thyroid imbalance. You will learn about...What is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? How do our bodies break down histamine?The four phase histamine reset planSupporting your body to eliminate histamine Dealing with histamine intolerance after suffering from COVID-19  Supplement 101The functional approach to thyroid issues Personal habits that help her Resources:Website: drbeckycampbell.comInstagram: @drbeckycampbellRead: The 30-Day Thyroid Reset Plan. Read: Long Hauler Road Map (Kindle) Listen: Health Babes PodcastThank you to Just Thrive for sponsoring this episode!

It’s hard to believe that holistic psychiatrist, Dr. Kelly Brogan, spent the initial segment of her career connecting mental issues to the “right” pharmaceutical prescriptions. After a U-turn in 2010, she replaced the prescription pad for a root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms. Now, she encourages her community to turn inward, using nutrition, lifestyle, and meditation as a springboard for the profound, emotional shedding that leads to deeper healing. In this episode, we examine what it looks like to reparent your emotions and nurture your own safe container as a path out of victimhood. Dr. Kelly generously shares her own human experience, how she works through shadow moments showing up in her life, and how you can work through your triggers for radical self-healing. You will learn about...Moving from traditional therapy to holistic psychiatry Appreciating the full spectrum of emotions The steps to reparentingCreating the signal of safety through nutrition and self-care Working through shadow and shame  Resources:Website: kellybroganmd.comInstagram: @kellybroganmdThank you Paleo Valley for sponsoring this episode.
