Allergies, Sensitivities & MCAS
Are you reacting to the world around you?
Allergies and sensitivities are more than just a "runny nose." They are a sign that your immune system is in a state of high alert. Whether it is respiratory distress, digestive upset, chronic skin flare-ups, or "brain fog," these symptoms are your body’s way of saying it can no longer filter out environmental or dietary triggers.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
A common, yet often overlooked, factor in chronic sensitivities is MCAS. This is where your mast cells (the "lookouts" of your immune system) become overactive. Instead of protecting you, they release a flood of histamine and inflammatory chemicals at the slightest provocation.
Common symptoms of an overactive immune system:
- Respiratory: Sneezing, nasal congestion, or asthma-like wheezing.
- Digestive: Bloating, pain, and unpredictable bowel habits.
- Skin: Rashes, hives, eczema, or "unexplained" itching.
- Neurological: Migraines, intense brain fog, and irritability.
- Physical: Joint pain, chronic fatigue, and chemical sensitivities.
Why Is Your System Overloaded?
We don't just look at what you are reacting to; we look at why your body has lost its tolerance. Common root causes we investigate include:
- Gut Health & "Leaky Gut": When the gut barrier is compromised, undigested food and toxins enter the bloodstream, "angering" the immune system.
- Toxin Burden: Chronic exposure to Mould (Mycotoxins) or heavy metals can keep the immune system in a permanent state of fight-or-flight.
- Genetic Predisposition: Your DNA dictates how efficiently you clear histamine and process environmental chemicals.
Our Targeted Testing Approach
Because every immune system is unique, we don't guess—we test. Depending on your history, we may utilize:
- GI Mapping: To identify the bacterial and fungal overgrowth driving gut-based inflammation.
- Genetic Testing: To see if your "detox plumbing" (like MTHFR or DAO enzymes) is the reason you can’t clear histamine.
- HTMA: For minerals, heavy metals, and metabolic speed.
The Roadmap to Relief
Our goal is to move you from reacting to being resilient. Your personalized protocol may include:
- Gut Restoration: Healing the lining and balancing the microbiome.
- Mast Cell Stabilization: Using targeted herbs and nutrients to "calm" the immune response.
- Histamine Clearance: Supporting the liver and kidneys to move toxins out of the body.
- Environmental Strategy: Practical steps to reduce your "toxic bucket" at home.
