Feeling more tired, inflamed, anxious, or “off” this spring—but not sure why?

It might not just be seasonal allergies. In this episode, we’re diving into histamine overload, mast cell activation (MCAS), and why springtime can trigger a wave of symptoms—even if you don’t typically struggle with allergies.

You’ll learn:

• What histamine is and how it affects your body
• How mast cells drive inflammation, allergies, and immune responses
• Why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, rashes, bloating, and sleep issues can spike in spring
• The concept of the “histamine bucket” and why your body may feel suddenly reactive
• How your gut, liver, and detox pathways impact histamine levels
• Simple ways to support your body with nutrition, lifestyle, and nervous system regulation

We also explore the connection between Ayurveda and Kapha season, and how spring’s natural “detox phase” can contribute to congestion, inflammation, and histamine sensitivity.

If you’ve been dealing with random symptoms that don’t quite make sense this time of year—this episode will help you understand what’s actually going on in your body and how to support it naturally.
