About this show:
Histamine reactions got you down? On today’s show, we discuss histamine intolerance with Naturopath, Naomi Judge, who specialises in women’s health and hormones. We look at histamine as it pertains to our food, stress, environmental toxins and the hormone connection so that we can unpack where you might be having issues, and how to “empty the histamine bucket” as they say and reduce the symptoms to the point of being able to tolerate the odd histamine rich food or stressful period in life without needing to reach for the anti-histamines every time. So if you’ve just started to realise or perhaps always known, that you feel very sensitive at particular times in your cycle or in general to heat/wine/cheese/cured meats, or look like a beetroot and can’t calm down after exercise – then it’s time to hack your histamine!
Title show track, by LIOR.
Love the podcast music? You will hear excerpts from Lior’s track “Caught Up” – go check it out on iTunes or Spotify if you want to hear the whole song or album, Scattered Reflections. Co-written with Cameron Deyell, it’s a great song and I love the reflective energy of it – perfect for the show, right? Enjoy. Lior is always touring, so do check out his website. It is wonderful to hear him sing live, trust me.

Questions I ask Naomi in this show:
- Histamine – it’s a friend and can be a foe – what is the role of histamine in the body and what is a sign it’s malfunctioning?
- It can negatively impact our mood, right?
- Things that can set stage for poor histamine processing/over production (gut/infections/over-exertion-stress)
- How to distinguish ‘needing to work on your histamine’ from MCAS – are they different? Spectrum-based?
- in the cycle – what to know about the estrogen/histamine link?
- And are there any broader hormonal links between histamine/hormones?
- In the cycle as we age – why the hivy vibes at ovulation/end of luteal?
- And then when we hit menopause – does anything change there?
- Dietary support
- Supplement support
- Deeper bioindividual investigations one might want to undertake when it comes to histamine issues?
