Histamine: More Than Allergies
Histamine intolerance isn't about eating the wrong foods—it's a sign that your body's detox and methylation systems are overwhelmed. Understanding what drives histamine buildup is the key to resolving it.
Histamine Mastery
Understand why your body overreacts and how to calm the histamine storm without avoiding everything.
Histamine & Sunlight
How UVB exposure helps break down histamine. Why sun-avoiders often have worse histamine issues.
Histamines & Iodine
Why iodine supplementation can trigger histamine reactions—and how to work through it safely.
Sulfur Sensitivity
The overlap between sulfur intolerance and histamine issues—they share common root causes.
Root Causes
Rebuilding Digestion
Poor digestion leads to bacterial overgrowth that produces excess histamine.
MTHFR for Beginners
Methylation is required to break down histamine. When MTHFR is sluggish, histamine builds up.
Mercury Exposure
Heavy metals block the enzymes that break down histamine (DAO and HNMT).
Built on Bile
Sluggish bile means poor toxin elimination, which increases histamine load.
The Methylation Connection
MTHFR & COMT
How these two genes interact to affect histamine, dopamine, and estrogen metabolism.
Folic Acid Conspiracy
How synthetic folic acid blocks folate receptors and slows methylation.
Glutathione-B12 Connection
Why B12 and glutathione are essential for histamine breakdown.
Pregnancy & Histamines
Why histamine levels matter for fertility and pregnancy outcomes.
