498: The Hidden Connection Between Long COVID, Mold, and Mast Cell Activation with Dr. Tania Dempsey
What if the random symptoms you've been told are "all separate" – the hives, exhaustion, brain fog, and digestive chaos – are actually ALL connected through one dysfunctional system in your body that affects 1 in 5 people?
When Dr. Tania Dempsey left traditional medicine after being told she wouldn't get bonuses for patients with cholesterol over 200, she discovered something revolutionary: conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, long COVID, and mysterious autoimmune markers might all trace back to the same source: dysfunctional mast cells.
In this conversation, Dr. Dempsey reveals why your mast cells (your body's security guards) might be stuck in overdrive, leaking over 1,200 different inflammatory chemicals throughout your body. She explains why perimenopausal women and adolescents are hit hardest, how hormones trigger these cellular explosions, and why that positive thyroid antibody test might not mean what you think.
Most shocking? The conventional medical system's approach of treating symptoms separately might be exactly what's keeping you sick. Dr. Dempsey shares her personalized protocol that's helping patients reclaim their lives, but warns that you can't supplement your way out of this without addressing one crucial system everyone overlooks.
If you've been gaslit by doctors, told your labs are "normal" despite feeling terrible, or you're navigating mysterious symptoms that worsen with hormonal changes, this conversation will help everything make sense.
