In this episode of the Heal Your Hormones podcast, Dr. Danielle explores the connection between histamine intolerance and hormones. She explains what histamine is, its role in the immune system and hormone production, and the signs of histamine intolerance. Dr. Danielle also discusses the impact of histamine intolerance on hormonal symptoms, the connection between histamine and estrogen, and dietary approaches to managing histamine intolerance. She suggests supplements and lifestyle changes to support the DAO enzyme, which helps break down histamine. Dr. Danielle emphasizes the importance of advocating for yourself and finding a healthcare provider who can address histamine intolerance. Takeaways Histamine is a compound produced by immune cells and plays a crucial role in the immune system and inflammatory response. Histamine can interact with hormone-producing glands and impact the production and regulation of hormones. Histamine intolerance is a condition characterized by the body's inability to efficiently break down histamine, leading to higher levels of histamine in the body. A low histamine diet, supplements like DAO enzyme, and lifestyle changes can help manage histamine intolerance and its impact on hormonal symptoms.
