131: Menopause, Mast Cell, Long COVID AND the Super Star Supplement Augmented NAC

You may know NAC (N-acetylcysteine) as the supplement that helps your body make glutathione—but NAC has suddenly found itself at the center of some fascinating health conversations. From Long COVID and the spike protein to menopause, mast cells, MCAS and histamine intolerance, this little sulfur-containing compound now has a much bigger story to tell.In this episode, we connect four seemingly unrelated health conversations and ask why NAC keeps showing up in all of them. What does NAC have to do with the structure of the spike protein? Why might the hormonal roller coaster of perimenopause change the way some women respond to histamine? And how could NAC potentially help calm oxidative stress while, paradoxically, making certain histamine-sensitive people feel worse?My featured "holistic health hero" in this episode is Dr. Tina Peers, whose journey from women’s health and menopause into histamine, mast cells, Long COVID and spike-protein research helps connect all the dots. And then there’s Augmented NAC—a supplement that helped me personally get through some of the symptoms we discuss here. If you'd like to support our small business or the podcast, please visit https://ngvitamins.com/ for all your supplement needs! Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042  Shop Vollara® Air & Surface Pro+ with us at Nature's Garden here: https://www.vollara.com/order/Air02/?u=naturesgarden OR call Tony at the store at: 239-643-4959 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.
