Histamine intolerance might feel like the final answer, but what if it’s really just the tip of the iceberg?
In this episode, Alyssa sits down with Jennifer Fugo, MS, LDN, CNS — a clinical nutritionist and host of the Healthy Skin Show — to uncover the real root causes behind histamine intolerance and chronic skin issues.
They uncover why antihistamines don’t always help, why low histamine diets often fail long-term, and what hidden root causes could be driving your symptoms instead. From gut infections and parasites to thyroid issues and skin dysbiosis, they dig into the overlooked triggers that keep people stuck in flare cycles.
They also talk about the surprising gut-brain-skin connection, why stool tests often miss what’s really happening, and the steps you can take to move toward true resilience and food freedom — not just restriction and supplements.
