Summary

Erin sits down with Rachel Mistry, MS, RDN to discuss some common patterns they see working with clients in The Funk’tional Nutrition™ Clinic. Histamine issues seem to be more and more common - not only are we seeing it more in our practice, Erin received a TON of questions about histamine on Instagram. Because it’s such a big deal for clients and listeners, they wanted to bring this discussion to the show. “How to figure out what’s causing my histamine intolerance?” seemed to be the million dollar question. While histamine issues can have a lot of contributing factors, Erin & Rachel are focusing on one today: HORMONES. Tune in to hear what histamines are, unexpected symptoms that histamines can cause, the histamine + hormone link, and some real life hormone / histamine case studies. In this episode: -What are histamines, and do they only cause allergy symptoms? [5:59] -Histamine reactions that you might not be aware of [7:31] -Cyclical headaches, migraines, and cramping: is it a histamine thing? [11:40] -The real impact of high stress [12:30] -What a typical cycle looks like [15:00] -The histamine and hormone links [17:21] -Why estrogen needs to be in balance [18:40] -Strategies to help your hormonal balance (hint: test, don’t guess) [23:32] -The low histamine diet as a short term solution [25:40] -What a DUTCH test can show you [30:26] -How your home environment and beauty product routine can impact your endocrine system function [34:39] -Overall nervous system support and down regulation for hormonal health [36:51] -Real life hormone and histamine case studies [38:31] -Skin flares and eczema resolved by reducing histamines [38:31] -How hormones responding and reacting can be clues to root causes [40:02] FOR OUR FULL LIST OF LINKS + RESOURCES, HEAD TO: https://www.thefunktionalnutritionist.com/podcast/191-histamine-hormone-link

0:00.0	Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. I'm your host, Erin Holt. I'm a functional medicine
0:07.8	nutritionist with a feisty attitude in over a decade of clinical experience. I work with women
0:13.6	all over the world through my online programs, and I'm also the founder of the Functional Nutrition
0:19.3	Academy, a 12-month practitioner mentorship
0:22.2	where I help other nutrition pros level up with functional medicine methodologies.
0:27.9	I've got a bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional healthcare model that are both
0:32.6	systematically failing so many of us. Creating a new model is my life's work, and this is what the show's all
0:39.5	about. Please keep in mind this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never
0:45.5	be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. If you like what you hear today,
0:50.9	I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review in iTunes, share with a friend,
0:55.4	and keep coming back for more. Thanks for joining me. Now let's dive deep.
1:02.7	I'm super pumped to announce that we have continued on with our partnership with Biocult
1:07.6	through 2022. Biocult is a phenomenal probiotic company. The boosted product is the one
1:15.4	that I most recommend. It is broad spectrum, great price point. And at the end of last year,
1:23.1	I had kind of like a weird amount of people reach out to me to tell me how much they are loving
1:28.9	bio-cult. People literally wrote like multiple times, this probiotic has changed my life. So people are
1:36.6	out there. The people have spoken and they are out there getting the good results. And that is
1:40.9	something that I, as a clinician, is super important to me. I've had,
1:45.4	you know, a lot of people ask me, like, what do you think about this product? What do you
1:47.8	think about this product? And sometimes I look at products and I'm like, I think they have a really
1:52.5	great marketing budget, which isn't a bad thing necessarily. But for me, as a healthcare practitioner,
1:59.4	I'm always like, cool.
