Listen Later

Ever felt anxious, foggy, or flushed after a meal or hot shower—only to feel fine hours later? That unpredictability might be Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

In this episode, Bizzie Gold breaks down:

  • The science of histamine and its 4 receptors

  • Why MCAS symptoms appear in sudden surges

  • The overlap between MCAS, PMDD, and postpartum depression

  • The stress–immune feedback loop fueling mood shifts

  • Practical steps to track triggers, reduce flares, and restore balance

This isn’t “all in your head.” MCAS is your immune system directly influencing your brain chemistry. Learn how to identify the signs, take action, and move toward lasting relief.
