Histamine Intolerance with Matt Jarosy

Hello and welcome back to State of Mind with me, Grace Kingswell. Today I’m diving into the topic of histamine with Nutritional Therapist, Matt Jarosy. You might have only heard fo histamine in relation to anti-histamines, typically taken for hay fever. But histamine is an important neurotransmitter, and can play a part in pretty much any reaction in the body form the obvious itchy, scratchy scenario, to brain fog and fatigue. We’re going to break it all down for you today and I hope you find it really fascinating.    In the episode matt talks about a past client of his who’s hay fever symptoms he managed to reduce by about 50% just with the inclusion of some kefir, which brings me on to the sponsor fo this episode -Ki Kefir.    Ki Kefir lives by the philosophy that food is medicine and so created the most authentic, traditional and above all most nutritious kefir available on the market today. The probiotic powerhouse that is kefir is not quite a staple in everyone's fridge (just yet!). Two amazing producers from Sussex are trying to change that.    Kefir is fermented milk that’s naturally abundant in probiotic bacteria that supports and nourishes our microbiome. This in turn has a hugely positive knock on effect for our systemic health.    They produce this kefir with the finest milk made from cows feeding on organic & regenerative pastures only, this ensures the tastiest, nutritionally dense probiotic that money can buy. Ki are on a mission to create a drink company that truly honours what it means to be healing to the planet and people. These guys are the real deal!
