Show Notes

Are your perimenopause symptoms feeling more intense than expected? Maybe you're experiencing extra issues like rashes, hives, allergies, insomnia, anxiety, or heart palpitations? If this sounds like you, you might be dealing with high histamine, a hidden culprit that can make the perimenopause experience feel harder, for many women.

In this episode, I dive into how fluctuating oestrogen levels in perimenopause can trigger histamine overload and even mast cell activation (MCAS), leading to a wide range of symptoms like migraines, heavy periods, brain fog, anxiety, and more.
