Have you ever noticed that your allergy symptoms seem to flare up at certain times in your cycle? Or that your migraines, fatigue, or skin issues seem to follow a pattern each month? It turns out, your hormones and histamine levels are more connected than you might think.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carrie Jones, an internationally recognized expert in women’s health and hormones, to break down this fascinating link. We uncover how estrogen affects histamine, why perimenopause can send symptoms into overdrive, and what you can do to regain balance.

If you’ve been struggling with cyclical symptoms and haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause, this episode is a must-listen.

• Hormones and Histamine: The Surprising Connection
  Estrogen plays a direct role in how your body processes histamine, which is why some women feel more allergic, itchy, or inflamed around ovulation and their cycle.

• Why Your Symptoms Fluctuate Throughout the Month
  Your hormones shift every single day, influencing histamine levels. This explains why you might feel great one week and miserable the next.

• Perimenopause and the Hormone Rollercoaster
  As you approach menopause, estrogen and progesterone become unpredictable, leading to increased histamine-related issues like headaches, fatigue, skin reactions, and sleep disturbances.

• Migraines, PMS, and the Histamine Link
  Many hormonal migraines are tied to histamine spikes. If you get migraines around ovulation or before your period, histamine might be a key player.

• How to Test for Histamine and Hormone Imbalances
  From symptom tracking to blood tests and DUTCH testing, here’s how to uncover whether histamine is driving your hormonal chaos.

• The Role of Progesterone in Keeping Histamine in Check
  Low progesterone means estrogen and histamine can run wild, creating a cascade of inflammation and symptoms. Supporting progesterone levels can be a game-changer.

• Practical Steps to Balance Hormones and Reduce Histamine Symptoms
  Learn the key nutrients and lifestyle changes—like magnesium, zinc, and toxin reduction—that can help regulate both hormones and histamine for long-term relief.
  
  

Understanding the connection between histamine and hormones is empowering. If you’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms like migraines, itchy skin, bloating, or fatigue that seem to cycle with your hormones, you’re not imagining it—there’s a real biological link. By identifying patterns, testing the right markers, and making targeted adjustments, you can start feeling better.

Have you ever wondered why you’re feeling more fatigued, experiencing brain fog, or struggling with disrupted sleep despite doing “all the right things” for your health? The answer might lie in a source you can’t see: electromagnetic fields (EMFs). In today’s episode, I’m joined by Nick “The EMF Guy” Pineault, a leading advocate for safe technology and author of The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs. Together, we’re unpacking the hidden impacts of EMF exposure on your body, how they tie into issues like mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and practical strategies to protect yourself.

If you’ve ever felt powerless against the invisible wave of modern technology, this conversation will empower you with knowledge and actionable steps to reduce EMF exposure without sacrificing the convenience of your devices.

• What Are EMFs and Why Should You Care?
  Nick explains the basics of EMFs, or what he calls "electro-pollution," and how these invisible frequencies impact your health at the cellular level, causing oxidative stress and potentially triggering conditions like MCAS.

• The Science Behind EMF Sensitivity
  Discover how EMFs disrupt voltage-gated calcium channels in your cells, leading to oxidative stress, and why this matters for those already managing chronic health issues.

• Are EMFs the New Smoking?
  Learn why some experts compare EMF exposure to the early days of smoking and the importance of rethinking our relationship with modern technology.

• How EMFs Trigger Histamine Release
  Nick shares surprising research linking EMF exposure to mast cell activation and histamine release, even in individuals without MCAS.

• Simple Steps to Reduce EMF Exposure at Home

• • Turn off Wi-Fi and put devices on airplane mode overnight.

  • Use wired connections for laptops and tablets instead of Wi-Fi.

  • Avoid keeping devices like phones or smartwatches close to your body.

• Why an EMF Vacation Could Be a Game-Changer
  Find out how spending time away from high-EMF environments can help you identify symptoms and regain a sense of wellness.

• Practical Tips for Families and Kids
  Nick emphasizes the importance of reducing EMF exposure for children, whose developing bodies are more sensitive, and offers tools like pre-downloading content and hardwiring tablets.

Electro-pollution is a modern-day health challenge, but the good news is that small, intentional changes can significantly reduce your exposure. Whether you’re addressing sleep issues, fatigue, or MCAS, minimizing EMFs could unlock another layer of healing for your body. By understanding the science behind EMF impacts and taking actionable steps, you can safeguard your health without giving up the conveniences of technology.
