Quotes
“People who are struggling with eczema, hives, even an overabundance of histamine...even some cases of candida and SIBO—these are all issues that I tell people, 'You need to steer clear of the ferments for now.'” [2:55]
"Fermented foods are filled with histamines. Histamines are a part of our immune system. They are created by mast cells. It's also produced by bacteria." [7:50]
"Eczema is super complex. It's one of those issues where it's not a cookie-cutter situation." [13:37]
"Eating carbs gives your liver the glucose that it needs to break down this neurotransmitter." [18:30]
