If you've been following a low-histamine diet for months and still reacting, this episode is going to reframe everything. Most histamine protocols treat this as a food supply problem. Avoid the aged cheese, take the DAO enzyme, cut the fermented foods. But for women whose symptoms track with their cycle, flare before their period, or seem to be getting worse despite all the right interventions, the food list is never going to be enough. We go deep into the work of Dr. Ray Peat, biologist and physiologist, to make the case that histamine excess in women is fundamentally a hormonal and metabolic problem. Estrogen directly multiplies mast cells and activates them to release histamine. Progesterone stabilizes them. Thyroid function governs the entire hormonal environment. And a gut producing endotoxin feeds back into estrogen production in ways that keep the whole cycle running. We cover: Why estrogen is the primary upstream driver of histamine excess in women The estrogen-histamine feedback loop and why it intensifies around your period What thyroid function has to do with histamine and why it's almost never addressed Why seed oils and low-carb approaches may be worsening the problem The gut-endotoxin-estrogen connection The heavy metal and liver piece that changed everything for me personally What Peat actually recommended, and what to bring to your provider Resources → PUORI | Go to https://puori.com/HEALINGTHESOURCE and use the code HEALINGTHESOURCE at checkout to get 32% off your first Puori Grass-fed Whey Protein subscription order and get a free shaker worth $25.

i got married at the end of april in maui, hawaii -- and somehow, i was the calmest i have ever been leading up to the biggest day of my life. for a virgo, perfectionist, chronic overthinker, that was... suspicious. in this episode i'm sharing the full mental and emotional experience of planning and living my wedding -- the intentional decisions that kept me grounded, the external chaos i couldn't control (historic maui rainstorms two weeks out, anyone?), the guest list boundaries that required real courage, a painful personal situation i'm only briefly touching on today, and the one thing we did for our guests that made multiple people cry. this isn't a wedding recap. it's an episode about learning to trust your own peace -- and what happens when a high-achieving, type-a woman finally stops white-knuckling an important moment and just lets it be good.

Oliver Amdrup-Chamby is back for his third conversation on Healing The Source, and this time we're going deeper. As co-founder and CEO of Puori, Oliver has spent 15 years building the case that supplement transparency isn't a marketing strategy, it's a baseline obligation. Now, with California's SB 1033 moving through the legislature and two major category studies confirming what he's been saying for years, the rest of the industry is being forced to catch up. We get into the bill itself, what it actually requires, why the supplement industry's largest trade association is fighting it, and what you should be doing right now while compliance isn't mandatory until 2028. We also talk about what protein actually is, the difference between protein and amino acids, bioavailability, and why your protein source matters more than most people realize. Plus, Oliver shares some nuance about his own product line that most brands would never say out loud. If you've been consuming protein powder without seeing a single batch test result from that brand, this episode is for you.

_*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> Your chronic sinusitis, brain fog, hormonal dysfunction, and fatigue may all have the same root cause — and your doctor has probably never mentioned it. _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> Dr. Donald Dennis is a board-certified ENT surgeon who had his "mold epiphany" after a patient returned from a beach vacation with her nasal polyps completely resolved. He traced it to one thing: two weeks in a mold-free environment. What followed was decades of research connecting mold and mycotoxins to pituitary damage, cognitive decline, hormonal disruption, gut compromise, and chronic illness that the conventional medical system keeps misdiagnosing. _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> In this episode, Dr. Dennis breaks down why the antibiotics most sinusitis patients are prescribed actually make the fungal problem worse, how mycotoxins travel from the sinuses into the brain and disrupt hormone production, and the AI MRI technology now being used to see mycotoxin deposits in the brain and track their removal. We also cover biofilms, the gut as a second battlefield, hidden mold exposure sources, and what a real recovery protocol looks like from the ground up.

Most people think about what they put in their bodies. Almost no one thinks about what they put on them. In this episode, I'm joined by clothing safety advocate and policy reform leader Hannah Dunning, widely known as The Clean Clothing Chick. She's a leading voice in the clean clothing movement, helping consumers understand the hidden health risks in modern apparel and pushing for transparency in an industry with very little regulation. We discuss how chemicals in clothing interact with the body, why women are disproportionately affected by toxic exposure, the truth behind synthetic fabrics and "sustainable" materials like bamboo, and what's happening behind the scenes in both fast fashion and luxury brands. We also explore corporate accountability, supply chains, and what the future of clean fashion could look like.

I'm talking about something we're rarely allowed to admit: I don't care about everything anymore, and choosing that has made me healthier. We've been taught that being a "good person" means emotionally absorbing every crisis, headline, and injustice. The result is empathy fatigue, chronic stress, and nervous systems that never get a chance to reset. I unpack why carrying the emotional weight of the world isn't empathy, it's ego. Why caring beyond your ability to act is psychologically irrational. How doomscrolling and outrage culture are draining our mental and physical health. And why boundaries are a form of humility, not apathy. We also explore what real nervous system regulation looks like beyond meditation: sleep, blood sugar balance, relationships, attention hygiene, and building a life your body can relax inside. If you're exhausted by the news cycle, overwhelmed by social media, or craving more peace and clarity, this episode is for you.

For a long time, I believed I was waking up and "exiting the matrix." I was involved in New Age spirituality, including astrology, human design, manifestation, psychics, and wellness spaces that promised healing, empowerment, and answers. When I was chronically ill, exhausted, anxious, and desperate for relief, these beliefs felt comforting. They made me feel seen. They made me feel in control. They made me feel powerful. But something was off. In this solo episode, I share my personal journey out of New Age spirituality, including my experience with Medical Medium, psychic culture, manifestation, and spiritual communities in Los Angeles. I talk about how desperation can override discernment, especially when you are suffering. I explore why vague spiritual language feels convincing, how manifestation appears to work, why control is often mistaken for faith, and what finally opened my eyes. I also share how walking away from these beliefs led me to something I had never experienced before: peace. This episode is not about honesty, discernment, and what happens when you stop trying to be your own god and choose surrender instead. If you have ever felt disillusioned, spiritually confused, or exhausted from trying to fix yourself, this conversation is for you.
