As an Integrative Health Practitioner, she specializes in histamine intolerance with a strong focus on gut health and hormone balancing, guiding women to heal naturally and feel like themselves again.WHAT WE TALK ABOUT What histamine is, why it’s essential for the body, and how it becomes problematic when production and clearance are imbalanced.Common but often overlooked symptoms of histamine intolerance including migraines, IBS, sinus issues, PMS, anxiety, and skin reactions across multiple systems.The spectrum from histamine intolerance to mast cell activation, and how symptoms can escalate when root causes are not addressed.How mold exposure and mycotoxins disrupt the immune system, gut, and detox pathways, acting as major triggers for histamine dysregulation.Why leaving a moldy environment is not enough, and the importance of supporting detoxification, bile flow, and toxin clearance.The connection between histamine, hormones, and the gut, including how estrogen imbalances, poor detoxification, and microbiome shifts drive symptoms.How histamine impacts the brain and nervous system, contributing to anxiety, insomnia, dysautonomia, and the importance of a root cause, non-overwhelming approach to healing.EPISODE RESOURCES  Pique TeaClean, toxin tested teas that can support gut health, hydration, and gentle detox pathways.https://shop.thetrailtohealth.com/PiqueThorneHigh quality, science backed supplements trusted by practitioners, with formulas that can support areas like gut health, hormones, and overall wellness.https://shop.thetrailtohealth.com/ThorneMolekuleAir purification technology designed to reduce pollutants, allergens, and other airborne particles, supporting a cleaner indoor environment.https://shop.thetrailtohealth.com/molekuleBodyBioFoundational supplements designed to support cell membrane health and overall cellular function.
