Mass Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
If you’ve been dealing with a mix of puzzling symptoms—such as fatigue, skin reactions, digestive issues, or breathing difficulties—MCAS could be the underlying cause.
Mast cell activation syndrome occurs when mast cells, a key part of the immune system, release excessive histamine and other inflammatory chemicals in response to everyday triggers like stress, temperature shifts, or certain foods. Normally, these cells only respond to true threats, but in MCAS, they’re constantly “on alert,” creating widespread symptoms.
Treatment focuses on calming the immune response by identifying and avoiding your personal triggers, while supporting the body to reduce overall sensitivity and inflammation.
My Approach
Pinpointing Triggers: I work to identify your unique triggers—such as certain foods, environmental factors, or stress—that activate mast cells and drive symptoms.
Calming Mast Cell Activity: Using a combination of herbal therapies, supplements, and medications when needed, I focus on stabilizing mast cells and reducing excessive histamine release.
Reducing Inflammation: I target the downstream effects of mast cell activation by supporting detox pathways, lowering systemic inflammation, and restoring balance to the immune system.
Gut & Immune Connection: Since gut health strongly influences mast cell activity, I incorporate strategies to repair the gut lining, restore the microbiome, and reduce food sensitivities.
Whole-Body Support: Through nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle adjustments, I help create a foundation for long-term symptom control and improved quality of life.
