Naturopath Beth O’Hara shares her experience of 20 years with MCAS, most of those years undiagnosed, which has fuelled her interest to become an expert in MCAS.

Dr Michelle Woolhouse delves into Beth’s health journey with MCAS and Beth generously shares her clinical pearls on the atypical presentations of MCAS, the relationship of mast cells and the nervous system, genetic variants (SNPs) predisposing someone to MCAS along with treatment options that range from micro dosing supplements, neuroimmunology, limbic system balancing and vagal nerve stimulation.
