Episode 019 - When the Alarm Won’t Turn Off—Histamine Intolerance & The Metabolic Compass
If wine, aged cheese, or leftovers leave you flushed, itchy, stuffy, or sprinting to the bathroom, you’re not just “sensitive.” You’re likely hitting your histamine budget.
In this episode, Brandon maps histamine through The Metabolic Compass so you know exactly where to start—and in what order—to quiet the alarm.
You’ll learn:
• What histamine is and how your gut–liver axis sets your baseline clearance
• Why glucose swings and redox stress can amplify histamine sensations
• The four receptors (H1–H4) and what each “station” means for symptoms
• Why two people react differently (your domain-specific dials)
• Symptom decoder + Compass triage (allergy vs. scombroid vs. HIT vs. MCAS)
• A practical 10‑week Compass Reset to rebuild tolerance—without overwhelm
Note: if mornings are hard, a protein shake with **BIOMEnd® + fiber** is a strong option; aim to **eat before caffeine** to protect mood, CAR, and glycemic control.
