  • Episode 26 - Cook Smart For Calmer Histamines: Why Cooking Methods Matter More Than You Think
    Jan 10 2026

    What if the real trigger isn’t the food on your plate, but the way it’s cooked? We dig into the hidden link between high-heat browning, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), oxidative stress, and the histamine symptoms that make your day feel unpredictable. Without fear or food rules, we break down how heat, time, and moisture change your body’s response and how small tweaks can rebuild trust with meals you already love.

    We start with flavor—because browning tastes great—and then map the science behind that golden crust. You’ll learn why AGEs accumulate, how they stir up low-grade inflammation, and why that can lower your threshold for itching, flushing, brain fog, and poor sleep. We connect oxidative stress to daily stressors, explain why two people can eat the same dish and feel totally different, and introduce the concept of inflammaging: the slow, quiet wear-and-tear that shapes how you age. Most importantly, we turn those ideas into everyday choices that reduce total load without sacrificing joy.

    From practical swaps like steaming, simmering, pressure cooking, and quicker cook times to smart pairing—protein, fat, and fiber—we show how to buffer AGEs and calm the nervous system. You’ll hear why the air fryer can be a friend when used for speed rather than deep browning, how repeated reheating raises histamine, and what to do if you’re living with a short list of safe foods. Rotate methods, shorten time, add fiber and color, and notice subtle wins: steadier energy, clearer head, calmer skin.

    If you’ve wondered why a “safe” meal sometimes lands wrong, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate roadmap. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs relief, and leave a review to help others find practical tools for calmer histamines and more confident cooking.

    You’ll hear a short message about Stop the Chaos, a 7-day private support experience created for women who describe histamine intolerance as chaotic and unpredictable. This program helps you understand what’s driving your symptoms and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.

  • Episode 25 - Faith As A Quiet Anchor
    Dec 24 2025

    When your body feels unpredictable and the answers don’t come fast enough, where do you place your trust? Teresa invites you into a quieter lane of healing—one that starts with belief, connection, and the gentle rituals that help the nervous system feel safe. Drawing on early memories of church pews, the hush of a campus chapel, and the stillness of snowy sunrise walks, she shares how spiritual grounding—religious or not—can soften fear and steady the mind when symptoms surge.

    We unpack why connection to something larger than ourselves can be a powerful health tool: it reduces isolation, buffers uncertainty, and creates inner safety that supports better regulation. From prayer and scripture to yoga, mindful movement, and headphone-free walks, Teresa offers simple, repeatable practices that fit real life. You’ll hear how hospitals make room for chaplains and quiet spaces, why families bring symbols of faith to the bedside, and how online prayer requests reveal a shared instinct toward communal care. None of these rituals promise a cure; they change the experience of illness by transforming panic into presence and overwhelm into breath.

    If you’re navigating histamine intolerance or any chronic condition that leaves you on edge, this conversation makes space for both science and spirit. You’ll walk away with practical ways to anchor your day—morning moments of stillness, gratitude before meals, and nightly release rituals—that signal safety to your body and help you rebuild trust with food and yourself. Press play to experiment with one gentle practice, notice what shifts, and keep what brings you peace. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show.

  • Episode 24 - How Organic and Grass-Fed Choices Affect Histamine
    Dec 11 2025

    Send us a text

    Your tomato isn’t the problem—your histamine bucket might be. We dig into a persistent myth around organic produce and grass-fed meats: they don’t lower histamine in the food, but they can lower the overall stress on your body so you react less. With a clear, friendly breakdown of DAO versus HNMT, we connect the dots between pesticides, environmental load, and the internal histamine your tissues release when inflammation runs high.

    We explore the ripple effect that many women with histamine intolerance feel every day: more toxins raise baseline inflammation, sensitize mast cells, and push HNMT to its limit. That’s why the same meal can feel safe one week and edgy the next. You’ll hear how soil health shapes nutrient density—more antioxidants, more polyphenols, more support for detox—and why that helps your system stay steadier even when your menu doesn’t look perfect. We also name the safe food trap and explain how very low fiber can make reintroductions feel like “histamine reactions” when they’re really a gut readiness issue.

    On the protein side, we clarify what grass-fed actually delivers: a calmer fat profile that can reduce inflammation, not a lower histamine count. You’ll get practical guidance you can use today—when to choose organic, when conventional wins, how to shop smarter by reading ingredients, and why frozen organic vegetables and berries are budget-friendly allies that pause histamine growth and add color back to your plate. By the end, you’ll have a kinder framework for choosing food that supports your nervous system, detox pathways, and histamine tolerance without chasing perfection.
