About this episode
When I first started trying to manage my histamine intolerance, I did what almost everyone does.
I found a histamine food list and started to cut foods. But that missed so much of the problem. Here is the big mistake I see... .
Triggers aren't all about food.
I hope you find this podcast useful, and you can find more details on the free histamine training here.

0:00When it comes to histamine intolerance, the connections often seem quite random. Wine can trigger symptoms. Dust in the house can trigger them too. Certain medications can as well. Some people react to coffee, but not everyone. Even intense exercise can push histamine higher. And sometimes it's environmental things people overlook like mold in a washing machine or on a toothbrush. This is the histamine intolerance podcast. I'm Tony Wright in this podcast is for informational purposes. Only if you need medical advice, please see a doctor. Slightly tinny sound to tell you on a very small booth in the little co-work facility where I live or in Portugal. Recording, the histamine intolerance podcast. I don't want it to do a podcast today on unexpected symptoms and unexpected triggers as well. Because this is the thing about histamine intolerance. There are so many strange elements to it. I think with a lot of things out there,
1:02it's quite easy to say, okay, if I'm intolerant to gluten, I just know, I look at a label and I know that's it. But with histamine intolerance, it's not just about diet, it's about as we've just said, wine, dust, coffee, medications, exercise. And it can also be about things like stress and sleep, big factors. All of these things can spike histamine just as much as what's on your plate. So what we want to do is find out those triggers and at the same time, not let it completely do our heads in and worry about every little thing that might be in our environment. Give you a little example. I realized the other day our new sheets were not 100% cotton but had some polyester in them. That's the sort of thing I worry about. So understanding the connection is often the moment things start to make sense. And I want to encourage you today. Most people are only looking at their plate when they think about histamine intolerance. I want you to think about the whole picture. If your symptoms don't make sense, if you've got mystery symptoms and you can't quite explain them, no one can explain them, histamine intolerance
2:03could be the missing piece and it might be unexpected triggers. And then you look at some of the symptoms, flushing, anxiety, gut issues, headaches, insomnia and you used to be fine as well. As you know, I'm a best-selling author on histamine intolerance. I've lived with it myself as well. If you want to find out more about this, I'm running some free master classes at the moment which have been, wow, I can't believe how many people are coming. You would not believe the attendance for these master classes. Sometimes over 100 people a day come into this master class. If you'd like to join the next one, I'll put a link in the show notes. I will look in detail at the frustrating and misunderstood elements of histamine intolerance, why it's so hard to feel good on it and what actually helps. And how to support lower histamine levels and manage symptoms starting today. You can go to TonyWiton.com slash histamine, slash reset, slash formula. That's, I need to get a better URL than that, don't I? I need to up my game a little bit. But I'll put it in the notes as well. Thank you for listening to this podcast.
3:04I wish you all the best. I hope you're feeling good. Remember, mold hides in odd places. Yeah, just recently we went on a little trip to Seville and I packed my electric toothbrush and I realized after a day, because the electric toothbrush comes with that little sort of plastic sheet that you put over the top of it. And I didn't normally use it. But I realized at the end of the day, my toothbrush was still wet from what I'd used it in the morning and I was like, hang on, then I looked at it and there were sort of black bits in there. And of course it was, it's warm in Seville and it was the perfect breeding ground for a tiny little bit of mold on my toothbrush. And coincidentally, it coincided with a slight triggering of symptoms. Not major, I would say I'm genuinely 98% better than I used to be. But I was sort of thinking, what's going on, I haven't felt like this for a while. So yeah, mold on the toothbrush, not nice. I can guarantee you I haven't used that since. So yeah, come to the Masterclass. I'd love to talk to you more about this. Completely free. There's a private chat in there as well
4:04seeing send me messages. Let me know what you think. And in the meantime, have a lovely, low histamine day.
