Histamine intolerance is typically mild, but Mastocytosis is the most severe form of mast cell disorder—often taking nearly a decade to diagnose. Symptoms can affect multiple organs, from rashes and GI issues to life-threatening anaphylaxis, and standard treatments like low-histamine diets and antihistamines often fail.

Many doctors aren’t familiar with testing or treatment options for mast cell issues like Mastocytosis and MCAS.

Today, I’m joined by Dr. Mariana Castells, a leading expert in allergy and immunology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She directs the renowned Mastocytosis Center and the Drug Hypersensitivity and Desensitization Center.

Even if you have histamine intolerance or MCAS, this episode offers key insights on histamine, testing, and finding real relief—because no one should suffer needlessly.

What’s the best treatment for Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)? While answers are still emerging, we’re getting closer.

TSW is a misunderstood, drug-induced condition that goes far beyond typical eczema. Many sufferers feel dismissed by doctors since there’s no formal diagnostic criteria and many dermatologists deny its existence. Yet symptoms like relentless itching, flaking, insomnia, “zingers,” and even depression can be life-altering.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman—a compassionate, research-driven Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who reveals how TSW differs from eczema, and explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the “toxic heat” behind symptoms.

If you’ve been told “it’s just eczema” or feel like nothing is working, this episode offers fresh hope and validation!

Can ChatGPT accurately analyze a GI Map stool test? I put it to the test using my own stool test results—and the outcome was… shocking.

Because more people rely on AI for lab interpretation and even protocols, I thought it would be valuable to see how its advice compares to that of a seasoned clinical nutritionist (with over 8 years of experience).

In this episode, I walk you through my stool test results, ChatGPT’s interpretation, and lastly – the protocol suggested by ChatGPT.

Before you upload any testing to AI – you need to listen to this!
