Mast Cell Activation Syndrome - Functional Health Approaches to Healing w/ Nicole Dube, FDNP

What this episode covers

For those dealing with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), daily tasks can sometimes seem impossible. Fragrances, cleaners, and even foods you once ate regularly can send your body into overdrive! Our guest today on The Health Detective Podcast, Nicole Dube, was amongst some of the first people to ever receive a diagnosis of MCAS. At her worst, she was down to eating only FOUR foods.   Fast-forward to today, and Nicole is a state-certified dietician-nutritionist, certified nutrition specialist, board-certified holistic nutritionist, and FDNP. She has been in private practice for over a decade helping people recover from MCAS, histamine intolerance, and autoimmunity. Her mission is to teach people to approach healing holistically - addressing body, mind, and spirit in order to give the body the tools it needs to begin healing.   Nicole was on once before where we dove more into her story, but this time, we are talking everything MCAS.   You'll learn about:   1) The different types of MCAS.   2) What are some of the main causes of MCAS?   3) Possibly most importantly, what you can do to help get your health back (even if it currently seems impossible).   We hope you enjoy this episode!   About Nicole:   Like many practitioners, Nicole discovered her passion for holistic health and nutrition through her own health challenges. Over two decades of working in high-stressed, fast-paced government jobs took a toll on her health and she experienced a range of health challenges – everything from autoimmune disease, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and POTS. She knew she needed to change how she was living, so she became hooked on everything nutrition and wellness – so much so, that she decided to return to graduate school and turn her passion into a profession. She subsequently came to FDN and found functional lab testing to be the missing piece in both her own healing and her private practice.
