Have you noticed strange, new allergy symptoms creeping in during perimenopause?

Whether it’s recurring headaches, itchy skin, sinus congestion, brain fog, heightened anxiety or even eczema, these symptoms could be a result of fluctuating hormones that spike your body’s histamine levels.

In this episode of Menopause Conversations, we dive into the surprising reason behind why allergies often worsen in menopause and, more importantly, how you can find natural relief.

I uncover how estrogen and histamine interact in the body, often creating an “allergy storm” as estrogen fluctuates during perimenopause. From sinus issues to hives and everything in between, many symptoms are a result of the interplay between histamine and hormonal shifts.

What We’ll Explore:

• The Role of Hormones in Allergy Flare-ups – Understand why perimenopause triggers histamine intolerance and mast cell activation, making you more sensitive to allergens than before.
• Natural Dietary Adjustments – Discover foods to avoid (like aged cheese, wine, and certain fermented foods) and which nutrient-dense options can help stabilise histamine levels and calm your symptoms.
• Gut Health and Histamine – The gut plays a critical role in processing histamine. We’ll cover how probiotics, prebiotic foods, and digestive support can help your body manage histamine more efficiently.
• Holistic Solutions and Supplements – Learn about natural antihistamines like quercetin and stinging nettle, liver-supporting supplements, and bioidentical progesterone options to help balance your hormones and reduce histamine buildup.
• Lifestyle Tips for Allergy Relief – From hydration and moderate exercise to stress management practices, we cover easy lifestyle tips to help you reduce your histamine load and take back control of your wellness.

Tune in to discover empowering, natural solutions for managing histamine intolerance.

With the right combination of diet, lifestyle adjustments, and supportive supplements, you’ll feel equipped to calm those allergy symptoms without relying on harsh medications.
