Is It Really Histamine Intolerance? The Misdiagnosed Epidemic Explained | Jennifer Fugo
If you're tired, itchy, bloated, or breaking out in rashes—and allergy tests keep coming back normal—this episode is for you. Dr. Jolene Brighten sits down with certified nutrition specialist and skin health expert Jennifer Fugo to explore the misunderstood world of histamine intolerance, histamine sensitivity, and the hidden causes behind your symptoms.
We break down everything from why women are more affected by elevated histamine symptoms, to why low-histamine diets might not be the long-term answer. Plus: the liver, the gut, mold exposure, DAO enzymes, and whether or not antihistamines are doing more harm than good.
Get ready for a deep, validating, and empowering conversation that could completely shift your health journey.
