Episode 17: What Allergies, Anxiety and Fatigue Have in Common—The Mast Cell Connection

Do you struggle with random flares, brain fog, or sensitivities that never fully respond to antihistamines? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Theo Theoharides, a leading mast cell researcher, about mast cell activation—a hidden driver behind many chronic symptoms.

In this conversation, we explore
  - How mast cell activation differs from classic allergies
  - Why it can cause brain fog, fatigue, and mood changes
  - Natural and evidence-based strategies to calm mast cells
  - Testing, treatment, and supplement tips that actually work

If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this conversation may offer the clarity and next steps you need.

Algonot liposomal formulations referenced in the interview (PureLute, NeuroProtect, FibroProtect), discussed for their specific flavonoid blends and liposomal delivery.

A Note on Safety and Next Steps
If you suspect mast cell activation, begin with a careful history and targeted testing, and
introduce supplements gradually while tracking symptoms. If you have complex medical
issues (for example, cancer or known enzyme polymorphisms), coordinate care with a
clinician experienced in mast cell disorders.
