The Connection Between Long COVID, Histamine Intolerance, and Mold + The Root Cause of Your Unexplained, Mysterious Health Issues No One Can Diagnose…UNTIL NOW! | Michelle Shapiro


Listen Later

223: In this episode, we not only discuss why you're experiencing unexplained, mysterious symptoms that no doctor can pinpoint, but I also share my own health struggles that I've been dealing with since 2020—struggles I haven't shared much about on Instagram or other social platforms. There seems to be a HUGE link between people who had COVID, like I did back in 2020, and current health issues that either haven’t gone away or only seem to flare up intermittently.


If you've been dealing with symptoms like exercise intolerance, a racing heartbeat, anxiety that comes out of nowhere (even when you know you're not fearful or anxious about anything), insomnia, waking up to pee 3-5 times during the night, or symptoms of a UTI but the tests always come back negative, then keep listening. These side effects and reactions are just a few of the many random, mysterious issues that could be linked to histamine intolerance, which is also tied to COVID.


I speak with Michelle Shapiro, who explains in more detail what histamine intolerance is, which foods and wellness routines trigger it (such as exercise, vitamin C IVs, drinking bone broth, and other popular “wellness regimens” many of us do) that could actually be hindering your health and causing these so-called “flare-ups.” We discuss why these symptoms may come and go in flares, and why some days or months we feel fine, but then suddenly experience a loss of energy, skin rashes, and chronic gut issues that last for weeks.


Speaking of gut issues—if you feel like your digestion has never been the same since you had COVID, there could be a connection. Michelle breaks it all down and explains how we can take steps to get our lives back. There’s good news, though!
