Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is a complex health problem often underdiagnosed or ignored that can leave you feeling extremely sick. It’s kind of like histamine intolerance on steroids!
If you’re not familiar with what are mast cells and how they are involved with mast cell activation disorder, this is the perfect video for you to watch!
To be clear, MCAS is not the same as histamine intolerance - it’s much more severe often requiring specific mast cell stabilizing medications in addition to supplements + lifestyle shifts in your mast cell activation symptom and treatment plan.
My guest today is Dr. Jill Carnahan, Your Functional Medicine Expert® dually board certified in Family Medicine for 10 years and in Integrative Holistic Medicine. She is the founder and Medical Director of Flatiron Functional Medicine. As a survivor of breast cancer, Crohn’s disease, and toxic mold illness, she specializes in searching for the underlying causes of illness through cutting-edge lab testing and personalized medicine protocols.
