Histamine Intolerance: The Diagnosis That Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story

Histamine intolerance is having a moment—but like so many trending health topics (Lyme, mold, parasites), it’s also deeply misunderstood.

Too often, histamine intolerance becomes a label people get stuck in.

It’s another diagnosis that leads to rigid diets, endless supplements, and a narrow view of healing that, at best, only manages symptoms. At worst, it deepens the imbalance.

Here’s what your functional doctor probably won’t tell you about histamine intolerance:

• It’s often driven by genetic predisposition.

• One of the primary root causes? Antibiotics and other suppressive therapies that disrupt the body’s natural immune system and ecosystem.

• It’s a reflection of a dysregulated nervous system—often one that’s been in survival mode for far too long.

• Probiotics? In many cases, they’re not just unhelpful—they can make things worse, especially when used long-term.

• And finally, it’s not just about food. Histamine issues are often rooted in hidden stressors—past trauma, chronic overwhelm, or environmental factors that keep the system in a chronic state of hypervigilance and inflammation.

In this video, I share what I’ve seen over the past decade in my private practice:

• The physical, emotional, and mental roots of histamine intolerance.

• How it shows up.

• Why conventional (and even functional) approaches often fall short.

• And how you can begin to unwind the deeper causes—gently, holistically, and with more flexibility and self-trust.

Because…healing isn’t meant to be rigid.

When you confine yourself to a diagnosis, you limit the tools and perspectives that could truly support your healing.

Healing is woven into the rhythm of life—it unfolds in layers, over time, and with the support of a spacious, nurturing environment.

During this video, I invite you to step outside the box. Get curious. Your body already knows the way home.
