Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize worm therapy to rebalance immunity
Based on the hygiene hypothesis, using a specific class of non-human worms can help rebalance an overactive immune system and reduce allergic and histamine responses.
Resolve histamine intolerance by addressing root causes
Histamine intolerance is not a lifelong condition but rather a symptom that can be resolved by identifying and treating its underlying root cause.
Manage estrogen levels to alleviate histamine symptoms
High estrogen levels can increase histamine release and reduce its breakdown, which is why women may experience worse symptoms during certain phases of their menstrual cycle.
Strengthen gut health with Armra Colostrum's nutrient-rich formula
Armra Colostrum is a food product with over 400 nutrients designed to strengthen the body's barriers, including the gut wall, to guard against irritants.
Eat fresh or freeze leftovers to prevent histamine buildup
The amount of histamine in food increases the longer it sits, so it's best to eat fresh or freeze leftovers immediately to prevent histamine buildup.
Choose specific probiotics to manage histamine issues
Not all probiotics are beneficial for histamine issues; specific strains like Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus rhamnosus are less likely to produce histamine.
Manage gut enzyme levels to prevent estrogen imbalance
An enzyme produced by gut bacteria, beta-glucuronidase, can 'unpackage' and allow estrogen to be reabsorbed, contributing to hormonal imbalance and histamine issues.
