About this listen

Ever get a headache from one glass of wine… but other drinks feel fine?

That might not be the alcohol — it could be histamine.

Wine (especially red) is high in histamines and other fermented compounds that can trigger headaches, flushing, congestion, and even migraine-like reactions in sensitive people.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down:

• Why wine contains more histamine than most drinks
• How histamine affects blood vessels and triggers headaches
• The DAO enzyme and why some people react faster than others
• Why alcohol makes histamine intolerance worse overnight
• How ingredients like NAC and Milk Thistle can support recovery and inflammation balance

🎧 Tap play to learn the hidden histamine side of wine headaches — and why your body might not be overreacting at all.
