I'm Erin Holt, and this is the Functional Nutrition Podcast, where we lean into intuitive

functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs

all affect our physical health. This podcast is your full-bodied, well-rounded resource.

I've got over a decade of clinical experience and because of that,

I've got a major bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model.

They're both failing so many of us. But functional medicine isn't the panacea that it's made out

to be either. We've got some work to do. And that's why creating a new model is my life's work.

I believe in the ripple effect. So I founded the Functional Nutrition Academy, a school and mentorship for practitioners

who want to do the same. This show is for you if you're looking for new ways of thinking about

your health and you're ready to be an active participant in your own healing. Please keep in mind

this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never

be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment.

I would love for you to follow the show, rate, review, and share because you never know

whose life you might change.

And of course, keep coming back for more.

So we're going to chat about what that looks like, how if you're a listener struggling

with some of these symptoms, how you might know that you have histamine issues.

And if you're a practitioner listening, kind of how we navigate this in practice. So, Rachel, when a client

comes to you, at what point do you start thinking it might be a histamine issue? Like, what are they

presenting with? So the classic symptoms are allergies, right? Runny nose, scratchy throat, watery eyes, maybe eczema and hives. Some of the less common symptoms that we can see are things like a really sensitive bladder, feeling like they have to pee all the time or maybe irritation around the bladder. Diary, nausea, acid reflux are some of those digestive symptoms that we can sometimes

see. Honestly, a lot of our clients come to us with digestive issues, so I'm not always thinking
