What happens when your body becomes a battleground of mysterious symptoms that medications can't fix? For decades, I struggled with histamine intolerance that started as a simple rash but evolved into something that threatened to consume my entire life.

My journey began in the mid-90s with a diagnosis of urticaria pigmentosa, followed by years of escalating symptoms—migraines, extreme fatigue, brain fog, and eventually anaphylaxis. The medical solution? More medications. At the height of my struggle, I was taking seven different antihistamines daily while my symptoms continued to worsen.

The connection between histamine and hormones revealed itself dramatically after my hysterectomy when I experienced a blissful three-month period completely symptom-free, only to have everything come rushing back once menopause hit. Food became my enemy, social outings turned into anxiety-inducing gambles, and my world grew smaller as fear limited where I could go and what I could do.

Everything changed when I stepped away from conventional medicine and embraced a functional approach. Rather than treating symptoms, I learned to identify triggers, support my body's natural healing processes, and implement lifestyle changes that transformed my health. Today, I manage my histamine intolerance without medications, focusing instead on nurturing my body based on its unique needs.

Whether you're dealing with unexplained rashes, digestive issues, headaches, fatigue, or anxiety that conventional doctors can't explain, this podcast offers practical strategies for recognizing triggers, calming symptoms, and reclaiming your life.
