Episode 17: The Gut-Histamine Connection with Tony Wrighton
Tony and I explore the world of histamine and its relationship to the gut. Tony explains his unique experience with a weird virus post-holiday and what drove his passion towards creating his podcast, Zestology. He speaks into what histamine is, common gut symptoms that can be alleviated with a low histamine diet, and potential reasons that may contribute to elevated histamine levels in the body. Furthermore, he provides perspective on the histamine bucket and learning to build histamine tolerance, providing resources to learn more about histamine-triggering foods, and how the environment and stress are big contributors to histamine elevation in the body.
