You can’t see it.
You might not even smell it.
But the air in your home could be one of the biggest drivers of your histamine symptoms.
In this episode, I talk about something that’s often overlooked—indoor air quality. From stuffy noses at night to unexplained flare-ups, the air you’re breathing might be doing more harm than you realise.
And here are links to the air purifiers I talked about with a small discount.

Stress and histamine are often linked, so remember to focus on this area as well as diet, supplements and so on.
Stress can have a significant impact on how you feel both mentally and physically, as research has found that histamine issues have all sorts of mental and brain impacts. I'm diving into this at the moment as I write my latest book. For example; “dysfunction of the histamine system may underlie some forms of apathy”, and “a potentially critical player in the pathology of depression, histamine”.

Today on the podcast you'll hear a little of my personal story.
When I was 18 years old, I was lucky enough to travel to Italy and live there for six months. But I also wonder if my time spent in Italy was the start of my histamine troubles.
I ate pizza and drank beer. That’s it. Every day. Pizza washed down with beer. Okay, occasionally a starter of pasta appeared before the pizzas, but it was mainly pepperoni pizza and beer.

Ever since I can remember I’ve had hives. Unattractive bumps on hands and feet from histamine intolerance.
But recently, they’ve gone away…
Here I detail how I did it and resolved my skin and histamine issues.
Stress and histamine are often linked, so remember to focus on this area as well as diet, supplements and so on. Personally I find when I manage my stress levels better, my histamine levels come down significantly.
Currently, as you'll hear, I’m by the beach, and my stress levels are super low. So are my symptoms. This area is especially relevant when it comes to histamine intolerance I think. Have you noticed a link between stress and histamine?
As we all start to wind down for the holiday season, check out today's podcast with some low histamine ideas to keep you healthy and happy over the next few days.

What leftovers are good leftovers when you are histamine intolerant?
I have done one podcast before on leftovers, and then recently had some questions about histamine intolerance and leftovers and so here are the answers to those specific questions.
BEFORE YOU GO:
Up to 15% of people suffer from histamine intolerance and may not know it. Please don't suffer unnecessarily. If you think that is you, then follow hundreds of others and take my Masterclass. I guide you through the low-histamine maze, and we put a particular focus on learning about all the different foods that will help you heal. Sure, I eat less avocado these days (sad times), but I feel so much better than I used to.
I'm going through a flare-up. Oof. And it's my fault.
Listen in for more on flare-ups and symptoms, and what happened in the middle of the night last night.

Over the years I have brought my histamine levels under control. I learnt that making specific, targeted changes to my diet and lifestyle works well.
Learn a bit more about them.
I thought I would do a post on normally "healthy foods" to avoid with histamine intolerance
Listen to this and then consider whether your histamine symptoms would be helped by cutting these foods out.
I was amazed to discover that many people in this crazy histamine world react to sparkling water.
I live on San Pellegrino and it suits me really well. But I recently ran a question on my story on here and it seemed pretty evenly split 50/50.
So here's a podcast about histamine intolerance and water...
This is the last of my three short podcasts from my chat with April.

I've been posting about something quite weird in my stories.
My new shorts have pemethrin in them (an insecticide) 😱.
I didn't know when I bought them. But then I looked a bit closer at the label.
"This textile contains a biocidal product with anti-insect properties. Active ingredient: Permethrin. May produce an allergic reaction."
Yup. You can say that again. When I wear them I don't feel so well.
What are your thoughts on insecticides like pemethrin, pesticides and other toxins being absorbed through the skin?
PS - I asked @craghoppers for my money back but they said no 😥
I get so many questions about coffee - so here's another coffee podcast.

I recently completed a big hike (Yorkshire 3 Peaks - 39km in a day, so much fun!).
I ate more than 5000 calories on the day so my low-histamine snack game needed to be good. As we know good low-histamine snacks are hard to come by.
So here are some of my favourites.
DISCLAIMER: I FULLY EXPECT YOU TO DISAGREE WITH SOME OF MY SNACK CHOICES! That's histamine intolerance for you.

Histamine and skin issues go hand-in-hand.
If you are suffering from skin problems, definitely look at the jewellery you are wearing. When I took my wedding ring off, my symptoms get better almost instantly. So it must the the ring.
What about you?
Have you suffered this problem?
Any advice for the rest of us. I've been promising my wife I"ll get a tattoo of a ring instead - she's not that keen!🤣

With intermittent fasting, you squeeze your meals into a certain amount of time (a feeding window). ⏰
This might be 8, 10, or 12 hours depending on how adventurous you want to be.
I tend to hit 7/8 most days. The rest of the time, you’ll simply consume water (and perhaps black coffee).
This is one of my favourite hacks for histamine intolerance, and remember everyone is different. But it works for me. At first sight it may not seem directly related to HI. (Obviously always check with your Doc before starting any new diet) 👌

What's going on with my diet/stress/sleep right now. An honest podcast! (And how improving diet/stress/sleep will help you)
Avoiding leftovers is a key part of the low histamine diet, and this is respected in many ancient traditions too - including the ancient healing science of Ayurveda, where only fresh food should be eaten.
Also in the yogic tradition, leftovers are also a no-no.
More on the podcast...
Is it to be avoided on a low-histamine diet? Let's find out.
FYI, the Healing Histamine website says this.
In baking, bicarbonate of soda and sometimes calcium carbonate, are great substitutes. I’ve found that natural fermentation is also preferable to man made yeast (which is not natural at all) that’s added in baking. There’s some debate as to whether yeast baked at very high temperature is still a problem for us. I have no information on whether nutritional yeast is alright from a histamine perspective. Of note is that vitamin B12 is made from bacterial process, which may account for why many struggle with it, while many vitamin B supplements generally are made from, or grown with, yeast. This absolutely does not mean we shouldn’t take them, but rather an explanation as to why they may have bothered you in the past.

I’m okay with some soft cheeses. But I went out last night and had a delicious curry with paneer in it. I discovered that isn't okay for me.
Feta is better, but it is listed as medium histamine on the food list on my site.
I’ve put particular care into the cheese area as this an area that lots of people ask about.
As a basic rule of thumb it seems the more aged the cheese the higher the levels of histamine.
So a blue veiny Stilton is absolutely off the chart, but a young mozzarella will tend to have much lower levels of histamine.
Disclaimer: Always check with your doctor or health practitioner before starting any treatment program. This is not advice, it is intended for information and discussion only.
Feta is softish and many seem to tolerate it, and as always it might have to be something you test.
Do bookmark the food list on the website. I’ve made it as simple as possible with an emoji traffic light system to create the most comprehensive, alphabetical histamine intolerance list.
* Red - high histamine = 😡
* Yellow - medium/debate = 🤔
* Green - foods generally low = ✅
So when you are out and about you can simply open this page and search for the food you aren’t sure about. We’ve listed our sources on the site too.
Where do you stand on cheese? Are you able to eat Feta? What about other cheeses? Let me know on the site.
Just brewed ☕ A histamine-fighting hibiscus tea.
Don’t take my word for it. Beth O’Hara says…
“Hibiscus is high in quercetin and kaempferol that can support mast cells. Be sure to use organic hibiscus flowers.”
And the Healing Histamine website calls hibiscus…
“Mast cell stabilising/antihistamine, quercetin rich and anti-inflammatory”
Are you a hibiscus tea fan? What teas do you recommend?

Having been on holiday for the last two weeks, my ‘cute’ (some might say) freckles are out in force
We’ve talked regularly about the link between histamine intolerance and skin issues. I'm looking at two interesting areas at the moment, copper peptides and zeolite on the skin. I'll come to that in a second. But first.
But I wonder if anyone has noticed a link with;
Skin pigmentation
Moles
Freckles
Rosacea
Dark Skin Patches (probably not the technical term)
Melasma
Vitiligo
I don’t honestly know the answer which is why I’m asking! There’s an interesting article on the Healing Histamine site on this here which suggests a link.

Part 2 - a second excerpt from my interview on this detox protocol. I’ve found a huge benefit to taking Toxaprevent. The tests they’ve carried out on histamine removal in the stomach are fairly astonishing. So I speak to Dilkiran Kumar about it in more depth. This is an excerpt from the longer interview which you can hear on my podcast Zestology.
Many of my symptoms start in the gut, and this is well worth a go. I take it on an empty stomach with a flare-up, and half an hour before a high-histamine meal too. It is proven to remove the majority of histamine from the gut, and their test results are incredible. This is my current go-to histamine supplement.

Are avocados high in histamina?
Who’s up for forming an Avocado Reintroduction Support Group?
Avocados are generally regarded as being high in histamine.
And while we might use the word allergy, histamine intolerance isn't an allergy as such, although does mimic many similar symptoms.
The science backs this up. In this study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6306728/ the existing data was reviewed with these results. So we talk avocados and histamine today.
