TWT: The Root Cause of Histamine Intolerance or Mast Cell Activation

While high histamine levels are a very real health issue, histamines themself are not the root cause of your symptoms…

While high histamine levels may be responsible for skin rashes, digestive problems, itchiness, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, and more, true relief requires addressing the underlying imbalances causing the elevated histamines in the first place.

So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3238 as we uncover the root cause of histamine imbalances and explore actionable steps you can take to restore balance. Enjoy the episode, and I’d love to hear your feedback!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Gut Health

Candida overgrowth, SIBO, and H. pylori can contribute to leaky gut by increasing gut permeability and reducing levels of diamine oxidase (DAO), the enzyme responsible for breaking down histamine. This can lead to elevated histamine levels and a reduced ability to process them effectively.

2. Environmental Factors

Environmental factors like allergens, pollutants, and toxins can trigger histamine release by activating the immune system and causing inflammation.

3. What We Put in Our Body

Consuming substances that elevate histamine levels, such as alcohol, spicy foods, aged cheeses, certain medications, and even daily stressors, can significantly contribute to histamine buildup in the body.
