Mast cell activation syndrome genetics and solutions

Mast Cells: MCAS, Genetics, and Solutions

Mast cells are essential to your innate immune system, defending against pathogens and allergens. For some people, mast cells can be triggered too easily, giving allergy-like responses to lots of different substances.

Supplements with genetic connections

Supplements with Genetic Connections

Linking supplements and genetic SNPs so that you can more easily find out what may work for you – and what to be cautious about.

Histamine Intolerance, MTHFR, and the Methylation Cycle

Histamine Intolerance, MTHFR, and the Methylation Cycle

Genetics plays a role in how well your body breaks down histamine. Histamine that is out of balance with the body’s ability to break it down can cause symptoms that are collectively known as histamine intolerance. Discover how to check your genes that are involved with histamine levels.

Spike-Protein-Mast-Cells-Histamine-and-Heart Rhythms

Spike Protein, Mast Cells, Histamine, and Heart Rhythms

Do you know of someone with unexplained heart palpitations, spiking blood pressure, dizziness, and tinnitus? Discover how research is linking these symptoms to histamine, mast cells, and the spike protein.

Estrogen, Histamine, and Mast Cell Connections, genetic variants that affect histamine and mast cells, genetic variants that affect estrogen receptors

Estrogen, Histamine, and Mast Cell Connections

Mast cells can be more easily triggered in the presence of high estrogen or estrogen-mimicking compounds. Histamine can also trigger mast cell degranulation. Together, this can cause a lot of symptoms related to mast cell activation.

Luteolin: Anti-inflammatory Neuroprotective, Antihistamine, food high in luteolin, genetic

Luteolin: Antihistamine, Memory, and Brain Fog

New research suggests the benefits of luteolin (a flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables, and herbs) may include anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.

Low Histamine Salsa Recipe

On a low histamine diet and craving salsa and tortilla chips? Here is a quick recipe for a low histamine salsa using roasted red peppers instead of tomatoes.

Low Histamine Mint Shake

Looking for low histamine treats? Here is a mint shake recipe low in histamines, and an excellent source of luteolin, a mast cell stabilizer.

Low Histamine Smoothie Bowl

It can be difficult sometimes to come up with new breakfast ideas for a low histamine diet. Here is a recipe for a low histamine smoothie bowl for a quick breakfast. (Member’s article)

Tyramine Intolerance: Metabolism of Tyramine, MAOA, FMO3, and CYP2D6 enzymes, foods high in tyramine

Tyramine Intolerance: Metabolism of Tyramine

Tyramine intolerance happens when you can’t break it down. Too much tyramine can lead to a hypertensive crisis. Learn more and check your genetic raw data for results.

Genetics of Grass and Pollen Allergies

Are you allergic to grass pollen? It may be genetic.

Allergies are usually due to a mix of genetic susceptibility and being exposed to certain triggering molecules. Several different gene variants have ties to an increased risk of grass pollen allergies.

Genetics and Alcohol Metabolism

Alcohol Genes: Alcohol Metabolism Rate

Wondering why you don’t react the same way to alcohol as your friends do? Some people metabolize alcohol faster leaving a build-up of acetaldehyde. Learn more about why this can be a health problem for some.

MTHFR mutations explained, frequency of C677T SNP, A1298C SNP, Supplement Interaction, MTHFR variant risks

MTHFR Mutation: What is it? How to check your raw data.

The MTHFR gene is important for how your body utilizes folate (vitamin B9) for creating neurotransmitters, detoxifying toxicants, and maintaining a healthy heart. Check your 23andMe or AncestryDNA data for the MTHFR C677T and A1298C variants.
