Episode #13: Healing Histamine Intolerance & Mast Cell Issues

/

This episode's interview topic is healing histamine intolerance and mast cell issues.

Joining me in this discussion is fellow FDN practitioner, histamine expert, master health coach, and friend, Alison Vickery.

Alison has nearly 10 years of experience with histamine intolerance and mast cell activation.

Her work is used by major nutrition and functional health schools as she seeks to constantly shed light upon this poorly understood area of ill health.

As a former sufferer of histamine intolerance, mast cell activation, chronic fatigue syndrome, and mold illness she is passionate about helping others overcome complex chronic health challenges.

Alison is also passionate about reducing prescription medication issues, which is not only the leading avoidable cause of death and disability worldwide but particularly problematic for sufferers of histamine intolerance.

She recently provided evidence to an inquiry about prescription drug safety and obtained two key recommendations, which would dramatically improve patient safety. She is also passionate about helping consumers make informed prescription medication choices. Seeing their full participation as a key to better health outcomes.

Note: Alison had some sound interferences on her end during the interview that my editor tried her best to remove but was not fully successful. We almost did not publish this episode as a result but then decided that the interview was far too valuable not too and that progress is far more important than perfection. This said I do apologize for the less than optimal sound quality in this episode and I thank you in advance for your ability to look beyond it.
