Although histamine is most often associated with allergies and immune responses, it plays a much more multifaceted role in the body as a hormone, neurotransmitter, and immune system mediator.
In this episode, Bec is joined by chronic disease expert naturopath, Elizma Lambert to discuss the fascinating topics of mast cell activation syndrome, histamine, and their role in a leaky gut and leaky brain.
Tune in to learn about the connections between mast cell stabilisation, gut health, and neurotransmitter regulation and explore the interplay between histamine, and glutamate, and how they influence the way you think and feel.
Key Takeaways:
- Histamine acts as a multifunctional compound in the body, playing roles in neurotransmission, immune response, and hormonal regulation.
