I can’t go back and change the last decade of my life…

But if I could, I’d hand my former sick self this list, a big hug, and tell her to stop trying to heal by doing ALL THE THINGS. 😂🖤

Some of the biggest lessons came from the hardest experiences.

Which one did YOU have to learn the hard way? 👇🏼

My tryptase? NORMAL.

My histamine? NORMAL.

IgE-mediated allergies? ZERO.

And yet my body was having a full-blown mast cell tantrum. 🙃

Here’s what I wish I’d known sooner:

Mast cells release WAY more than just histamine. We’re talking prostaglandins, leukotrienes, tryptase, and other inflammatory mediators.

And a normal baseline tryptase level does NOT automatically rule out MCAS! 👊🏼

Proper evaluation looks at your symptoms, changes in mast cell mediators during flares, and response to treatment.

Not just ONE lab value.

So if you’ve been dismissed based solely on normal tryptase, consider a second opinion!!

Because “normal” labs don’t always mean everything is normal. 🖤

Anyone else been through this?! 👇🏼

Fueled by protein, creatine and 10 years of medical gaslighting 💪🏼

Every practitioner I saw recommended quercetin for my histamine intolerance and MCAS symptoms.

And every. single. time. I took it?

Crippling anxiety and depression. Like, a seriously dark place.

When I stopped taking it? The darkness lifted.

Here’s what I eventually learned. 👇🏼

Quercetin has been shown to inhibit COMT, an enzyme involved in breaking down catecholamines (like dopamine and norepinephrine) and certain estrogen metabolites.

And guess who has a slow COMT variant? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Now, the COMT connection is based largely on laboratory research, so I can’t say for certain that’s what caused my reaction….

But my experience completely changed how I approach supplementation.

Today, I’m VERY cautious about high-dose quercetin with my clients. Genetics can offer another piece of the puzzle, but individual tolerance matters just as much.

Because what helps one person’s histamine symptoms might make someone else’s worse.

What would you like to know about genetics and histamine intolerance? Let’s talk! 👇🏼🖤

Not showing off. Showing her we made it. 🖤

A syndrome can explain your symptoms. But it does NOT have to define your future. Don’t stop at the label. Dig deeper and find your root cause. 🖤

One part of healing I overlooked for way too long? It was the little things that made me feel like a person again!

Not another protocol.
Not another supplement.
Not another treatment plan.

I’m talking about:

🍂 Festive decorations that make your heart smile.
🫖 A good book with tea in your favorite mug.
🧶 Knitting because your nervous system needs something soothing to do.
🌿 Gardening and feeling ridiculously proud that you picked your own lettuce for dinner. 😂

Sometimes healing isn’t just about killing pathogens, lowering inflammation, or following the “perfect” plan.

Sometimes it’s finding simple, gentle ways to remind your mind, body, and soul:

“I still get to enjoy my life while I’m healing.”

Don’t overlook the small things. They may not look like medicine…

But they can absolutely be part of it. 🖤

I didn’t give up. Neither should you 🫶🏼

Your histamine bucket is overflowing for a reason. Which ones have you already looked into? 👀

"Your labs are normal." "It's probably stress." "You're probably just anxious."

If you've heard these words while your health kept declining, you know how much damage they can do. It has a name: medical gaslighting. For people navigating mold-related illness, it's one of the most common and painful parts of the journey.

It was part of Kristie Calise's journey, too. 📝 In our newest article, Kristie shares what nearly a decade of battling complex chronic illness taught her about being dismissed, and the 5 practical strategies that helped her advocate for herself in the exam room, so you can walk into your next appointment prepared, organized, and harder to dismiss.

In this article, you'll learn:
✔️ What to bring to every appointment (and why it changes the conversation)
✔️ How to set the tone in the first 30 seconds
✔️ The one question to ask yourself BEFORE you go
✔️ What it means if you still leave feeling unheard

So many in our community know this experience firsthand. We hope Kristie's article helps you feel a little more prepared, and a lot less alone. 💙
