Histamine Management for Breast Cancer Survivors

Episode Overview

  • Histamines can mimic side effects of cancer treatments.
  • Low histamine diets can alleviate symptoms like headaches and digestive issues.
  • Foods rich in DAO enzyme help break down histamines.
  • Stress management and good sleep are crucial for reducing histamine production.
  • Understanding the relationship between histamines and estrogen is key.
Histamine release can increase estrogen production, and higher estrogen levels can lead to more histamine release - it's a vicious cycle.
In this episode of The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach, Laura Lummer tackles the often-overlooked topic of histamine management and its significance for breast cancer survivors. As someone living with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, Laura brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. She dives into what histamines are, how they affect the body, and why they can be particularly troublesome for those who have undergone breast cancer treatments.
With symptoms ranging from headaches to digestive issues, histamine intolerance can mimic the side effects of cancer treatments, making it essential to understand and manage. Laura discusses low histamine diets, foods that aid in histamine breakdown, and the complex relationship between histamines and estrogen. By sharing her personal journey with histamine sensitivity, she provides practical advice on lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments that can help alleviate discomfort.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their quality of life post-cancer treatment. You'll walk away with actionable tips and a deeper understanding of how to support your body through recovery.
