Are you struggling with unexplained allergic reactions, chronic inflammation, rashes, fatigue, anxiety, or gut issues? You may be dealing with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)—a complex and often misunderstood immune system condition.

• What is MCAS and how it differs from histamine intolerance

• Common MCAS symptoms like hives, flushing, brain fog, IBS, POTS, and more

• Key root causes including mold toxicity, chronic infections (like Lyme or EBV), SIBO, stress, and trauma

• How to identify triggers and reduce mast cell degranulation

• The best natural supplements and low-histamine diet tips to stabilize mast cells

• How to start to address gut health, detox , and nervous system dysregulation

Here is a time-stamped outline of the key points discussed in the meeting, organized by minutes:
