Ep. 73: Histamine Intolerance and PMDD: Why You're Anxious, Bloated & Can't Sleep Before Your Period
Do you feel relatively normal weeks 1-2 of your cycle, then become an anxious, bloated, sleepless version of yourself in the second half of your cycle? You might have PMDD + your symptoms might actually be driven by histamine intolerance.
In this episode, I break down the histamine-PMDD connection that often gets overlooked.
What we cover:
- What histamine intolerance actually is (and why allergy tests miss it)
- Why histamine issues get worse at certain points in your cycle
- The role your gut health + hormones play in symptoms
- Signs histamine is driving your PMDD symptoms
- What to test to learn more about your histamine issues / root causes of PMDD symptoms and how to heal
If you're tired of debilitating anxiety, insomnia, and bloating before your period, this episode will give you the answers your doctor hasn't.
