Have you ever wondered why some people react to certain food or environmental triggers differently? This episode seeks to demystify the enigma of histamine intolerance.
We are joined by the knowledgeable naturopath Carolyn Ledowsky , who shares her in-depth understanding of the role of genetics in histamine intolerance.
In this episode, we:
- Explore the growing significance of histamine intolerance and mast cell activation in today's health landscape and learn the reasons behind their increasing prevalence.
- Discuss the prevalence of histamine intolerance and mast cell activation among your patient population and recognize the potential impact on their health.
- Investigate the primary environmental factors that contribute to the development of histamine intolerance and mast cell activation.
- Identify the crucial genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that should be a focal point when assessing histamine intolerance.
- Delve into the atypical symptoms associated with histamine intolerance and mast cell activation beyond the more common allergic reactions.
- Discuss key solutions in managing these conditions, including antihistamines like quercetin and perilla, the role of probiotics, and the potential benefits of IGG immunoglobulins.
Get ready to dive into the intricacies of histamine intolerance and broaden your understanding.

She has also studied courses in genetics at Duke University (Genetics and Evolution) and The University of Maryland (Genes and the Human Condition – from Behaviour to Biotechnology) .
The secret to successfully unravelling chronic health conditions is the ability to understand a person’s genetic susceptibility and overlying environmental contributors that shift the biochemistry significantly away from the person’s ability to cope with an infection, exposure, bacteria or assault of some type.
Her practice specialises in genetic susceptibility and how this contributes to biochemical dysfunction and chronic health conditions.
