If you've ever felt like your symptoms are "too much" — like your body is reacting to everything and no one seems to understand why — this episode is for you.

Dr. Noel sits down with Michelle Shapiro, RD, a functional dietitian specializing in anxiety, MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome), histamine intolerance, mold exposure, hypermobility, and chronic reactivity. Michelle shares her expert insight on why so many people — especially women — are feeling overwhelmed by symptoms that conventional medicine often overlooks or dismisses.

Together, they explore:

• What MCAS is and why it's often misdiagnosed

• The connection between histamine intolerance and hormone shifts

• How mold, POTS, and hypermobility often overlap in sensitive clients

• Why people with anxiety are not "too sensitive" — they are highly attuned

• The biggest myths around reactivity and healing

• Practical strategies for calming the body's alarm system

• Why a regulated nervous system is essential for true healing

Whether you're a practitioner or someone navigating mysterious symptoms yourself, this episode will leave you feeling validated, empowered, and more equipped to pursue real answers.
