70. The Histamine Myth Keeping You on a Restrictive Diet Forever

Have you been avoiding aged cheese, leftovers, and fermented foods because someone told you histamine triggers your migraines? Eating only fresh-cooked meals and still getting migraines anyway?

Dr. Leslie breaks down the histamine myth that's keeping migraine sufferers trapped in restrictive diets, and reveals what's actually happening in your body.

Histamine isn't the villain. It's a necessary chemical messenger your body uses for immune response, stomach acid production, neurotransmitter balance, and healing. Without histamine, you couldn't digest your food or fight off infections.

So why do some people get migraines from histamine-containing foods while others don't? Why can you eat leftovers one day and feel fine, but eat the same food three days later and end up bedridden?

It's about your toxin bucket.

Dr. Leslie explains how your body continuously generates metabolic waste that goes into an internal "trash can." When that bucket overflows, when your liver, lungs, and kidneys can't drain it fast enough, even a small amount of dietary histamine tips you over the edge into a migraine.

But when your bucket has room? You can eat restaurant food, leftovers, aged cheese, and fermented foods, without consequence.

The solution isn't avoiding histamine forever. It's draining the bucket by giving your organs of detoxification what they need: adequate nutrients and cellular voltage. When those organs function optimally, they process histamine efficiently, from food and from your own body's production..

If you've been avoiding histamine foods and want guidance on how to heal your digestion, drain your bucket, and reintroduce foods safely, Dr. Leslie offers free consultations.

Episode Transcript

hi everybody this is Doctor Leslie
welcome to the Healing Migraines Naturally podcast
I am Doctor Leslie Caesar
and I'm a licensed naturopathic doctor
and I work with women all over the country
who have chronic migraines
and want to heal them naturally
they want to actually restore their health
so their body doesn't generate migraines
in the first place
so that they can get off their migraine medication
and the fistfuls of supplements that they're taking
trying to abate the migraines
today I wanna talk about histamines and migraines
so this is a really hot topic right now
I would say within the natural medicine space
as well as within conventional medicine
conventional medicine is getting more and more aware
or concerned about histamine
as well amongst the migraine suffering community
histamine is talked about a lot
but the general public when they hear histamine right
most people think histamine
they think allergies right
so it's the histamine that is making my nose run
and making my eyes water and making me sneeze
and when I have those allergies in the springtime
right and so I'm gonna take an antihistamine
maybe like a Benadryl or an Allegra
to shut down that histamine
so that I'm not blowing my nose
and I'm not sneezing and my eyes aren't watering
green and burning and so on with those allergies
but within the migraine community
a lot of people have been told
a lot of migraine sufferers have been told to avoid
histamine containing foods
because there's a belief that excess histamine
within the body either that the body is producing
or that is in the food that we eat
is generating the migraines or is a migraine trigger
right so
I wanna talk about this
not only as it relates to migraines
but there's sort of a new diagnosis
called mast cell activation syndrome
MCAS that is gaining prominence
I would say within the past five years
within the natural medicine industry
whether it's amongst naturopathic doctors
functional medicine practitioners
chiropractors sort of
this big umbrella of natural medicine practitioners
that that I am under
this mast cell activation syndrome diagnosis or concept
has really become prominent
I would say within about the past five years or so
so this word histamine or this topic of histamine
it's on a lot of people's minds right now
and a lot of migraine sufferers
have gone to great lengths
great sacrifice great denial
self denial to avoid histamine containing foods
and if you've listened to other podcast episodes
you and I don't need to eat a certain way
because we're prone to migraines
so if you don't know anything about me
I used to have chronic migraines myself
that's why I became a naturopathic doctor
due to my own healing and recovery
from chronic migraines so I
I am prone to migraines
if I am not in a state of health
and so if you're like me if you are prone to migraines
you might have been told
to avoid histamine containing foods
or sometimes
people are even prescribed antihistamine medications
for their migraines as a migraine preventative
or people might take antihistamines
like a lot of migraine sufferers
they'll like pop a Benadryl or something like that
if they have a migraine
so let's talk about histamine a little bit here
and we'll get into how it relates to migraines
so histamine you might call it like a cellular signaler
so there are you know
untold compounds that our cells make
to signal to other cells
and to make things happen within the body
so histamine
you might call it like a chemical messenger
chemical signaler it's that type of molecule
so histamine is used in general
histamine is used when the body wants to generate
some inflammation so inflammation
this is another word that is kind of like a dirty word
right everything we're trying to lower inflammation
anti inflammatory foods and supplements
and drugs and everything
but inflammation is required for healing
and this is a very important point that
people are missing
particularly in the natural medicine industry
a lot of practitioners are sort of missing this piece
so healing is not going to take place
unless there's inflammation
so the most
sort of visible example of inflammation for us
is if we cut our finger you know
we're chopping a vegetable
and we cut our finger with a knife
so histamine is actually required in blood clotting
okay so when that cut is made
histamine comes into play to assist with the clotting
that it's necessary to stop the bleeding
so that doesn't seem like a bad molecule
that seems pretty necessary right
and then we will notice right
over the next few days that where that cut is
there's inflammation around the cut
right that little red ring around the cut on our finger
that's inflammation so
in order for the skin to heal
and repair itself from that cut
there has to be inflammation within the skin
for that repair to take place
so histamine is a molecule that is used to generate
necessary inflammation for something else to happen
that the body considers to be necessary
for healing to take place
I'm not saying that every type of healing action
requires histamine
but histamine is a chemical signaler that generates
inflammation so with allergies
right so
kind of
the classic thing that we think about with histamine
is the allergy response so
any type of allergy is actually an indication
that we are struggling with an overload of metabolic
waste materials and toxins
so when we breathe in like say in the springtime
you breathe in that pollen
you breathe in those little fresh new grass molecules
and then you start sneezing
your nose starts running your eyes starts watering
right when we go into the spring
and our body is already overloaded
with metabolic waste materials and toxins
then we're going to experience those
springtime allergies because I
I want you to think of this as sort of like
we have like this little toxin bucket
this little trash trash can okay
so we've got our little trash can
and we are continuously adding
to that bucket with our own metabolic waste material
so anything that your cells do in your body
they generate waste material okay
trash we gotta get the trash out of the cells
and into the waste bucket okay
we can't have that trash
you don't want a bunch of trash inside your cells
they're not gonna work well
hi there it's Doctor Leslie
if you're a woman
having eight or more migraine days a month
let's talk
I'll show you how to drop them to near zero in 90 days
without adding more medication
in fact you can even lower
or maybe even completely wean off of your medication
within 90 days
and without agonizing cold Turkey withdrawals
let me tell you about my client Judy
she was on such strong medications for her migraines
that she was nearly bedridden
and could barely function
she had to close the doors of her small business
and felt like a failure she wondered every day
why am I doomed to suffer from these migraines
but just like you
she started listening to my Healing Migraines
Naturally podcast and a spark ignited
she knew that if she could just figure out
why these migraines started in the first place
she could restore and recover her health again
so she booked her free console call with me
and the rest is history
she now goes months between migraines
and runs her small business full time again
because she's completely off of those preventative
medications she followed the 12 week plan
and got incredible results
I've worked with women just like Judy
from all over the United States
overcome migraines naturally
so if you're serious about healing your migraines
then tap the link in the description
and book a free consult call with me
just like Judy did we do cap new clients monthly
so if the calendar's full
the doors are closed for now
so don't wait to reclaim the life you deserve to live
no matter how hopeless things seem
now with expert guidance
you can heal and recover from migraines
so I look forward to chatting with you
click the link now to schedule your call
we gotta get the trash out of the cells
and we're gonna put that trash in our little waste
bucket okay
then we're exposed to toxins in the environment okay
the food supply the air supply
the water supply contain external toxic substances
many of them are man made
but there are also
naturally occurring toxins in the environment
that have been here since the dawn of time
we're gonna get exposed to those
we can do some things to lower our exposure
to those environmental toxins
but honestly there's only so much you can do okay
so like for example mold in the environment
mold is all over the place OK
on the top of my desk here that I'm talking to you on
I can't even imagine how many naturally occurring
little mold spores are here right
so we are surrounded by naturally occurring
environmental toxins
we humans have made a lot of toxic substances OK
like I say you can try to avoid them
but you're never going to be able to avoid all of them
they're gonna go into your bucket okay
so we wanna drain the bucket
the bucket is never gonna be empty
but we just wanna keep it draining
we wanna have a hole in the bottom of the bucket
we wanna have a drain in the bottom of the bucket
that can keep up okay
so if we're adding 10 things a minute to the bucket
we want a drain at the bottom of the bucket
that can drain out 10 things a minute okay
we don't want that bucket to overflow okay
it's never really gonna be empty
cause we're adding stuff to it all the time
it's sort of like your bathtub
you turn the water faucet on in your bathtub
like there's always a little water near the drain right
but if the drain is clogged
eventually that tub is gonna totally overflow
but when you turn that faucet on
you just want to drain right
where I'm draining the water
there's always gonna be a little
little bit of water in the tub
but I'm draining the water
as the water is coming into the tub
that's what we want with this little toxin bucket
so when when it comes around the springtime
and all the flowers are blooming
and the pollen is in the air
and the little grass molecules and everything
those are environmental toxins okay
and so we breathe in a little grass molecule
our body has to detoxify that has to process that
our lungs are actually an organ of detoxification
so you can think of that little grass molecule
going into the bucket okay
well what if we haven't been draining the bucket
what if the bucket is all the way up to the top
and then may comes around and we're just over
we're putting in all this pollen
and grass and everything else
now the bucket is going to overflow
the body wants to protect us so our body says okay
I was barely hanging on this bucket
was pretty near the top before the flowers bloomed
but now that the flowers are blooming
now I really have an overload
my organs of detoxification
that's the drain at the bottom of the bucket okay
our liver and our lungs and our kidneys
those are the three organs of detoxification
that's what makes up the drain
at the bottom of the bucket
so our body says well okay
I can't keep that drain open wide enough
I can't keep that bucket drained
I gotta get this pollen out of here right
so how could I do that well
I could generate a discharge
I could flush it out of here right
if I can generate tears and mucus
I can capture that stuff then it won't go in my bucket
that's already overloaded
I can just flush it out
I can just flush the problem out
and not even bring it into the body
and then I won't add to this overflowing bucket
so to do that I need to have histamine so in this case
the histamine we we don't like the allergies right
we don't like to have our eyes burning and watering
and we don't like to be uh
you know have this runny nose all the time
but the body uses histamine
to activate the immune system
to generate that discharge
so that we can flush that material out
and not add it to an overflowing bucket histamine
you know the the boogeyman or is it actually uh
assisting something okay
so histamine is used by the immune system
to activate the immune system
so again if I am exposed to a virus
and the virus comes in and starts multiplying
I want my immune system to get on that right
and so I'm gonna have to have a
some histamine to help generate that immune response
so I want a robust immune system
I don't want an immune system that doesn't have enough
histamine to activate quickly
histamine is also used by your stomach
it's a again
it's a chemical signaler or a signaling molecule
that is necessary for your stomach
to make stomach acid so that sounds pretty critical
right we need to have adequate stomach acid
to digest our food break our food down
the minerals that are in our food
in particular you have to have a low pH in your stomach
for best absorption of minerals
well every cell in the body needs minerals
our bones in particular need minerals right
so this is very critical
that we're able to generate adequate stomach acid
for proper digestion
and getting the nutrients out of our food
so that we can get them into our body and to the cells
histamine also has some action within the brain
and neurotransmitter production
and I'm sure you know
this is just a high level
overview of some of the things that histamine does
I'm sure that there are discoveries yet to be made
as far as what histamine is doing
as far as a chemical signaler
what positive things histamine is doing within the body
we've talked about what histamine does and
you know how it's a positive within the body
but let's talk about where it's kind of
gotten this bad rap
when there is an excess of histamine production
then we can have some symptoms
that will cause us a lot of suffering
so something that people can develop is chronic hives
so hives right
these are those really itchy
red welts that will form in the skin
and those are formed
because histamine is being released
within the skin and so
people can develop chronic hives
if they have excess histamine
releasing within the skin
this syndrome called mast cell activation syndrome
this is a sort of
a new diagnosis to describe a cluster of symptoms
that are related to histamine
being released within the body
so it could be something like chronic hives
people could feel very flushed
people can have an elevated heart rate
people can have changes in their mood
or neurological symptoms so
a wide variety of symptoms can fall under this umbrella
so again the concept with this is well
somehow the histamine got there
how do we get rid of it but
when we look at the actual function of histamine
within the body well
histamine is going to be
be released when the body is trying to heal something
and or when there's a toxin overload within the body
so these histamine related symptoms
whether they be seasonal allergies
chronic hives the cluster of symptoms
under the umbrella of mast cell activation syndrome
it's an indication that No. 1
there's a large toxin overload within the body
that that bucket is overflowing okay
and so your body is trying to protect you
and it's trying to rally anything it can
to try to get those toxins out of the body
and histamine is
one of those chemical signalers that the body uses
when there's an overload of metabolic waste
material and toxins
when that bucket is overflowing so also
if there is a lot of healing
that the body is trying to generate
histamine is going to be required
to facilitate that healing process
to facilitate I should say
the generation of inflammation because remember
nothing heals in the body without inflammation
so when people have an overload of metabolic waste
materials and toxins when that bucket is overflowing
with those toxin molecules
the toxin molecules actually
damage things within the body
they're toxic okay
so as they're circulating in the bloodstream
they're kind of bumping into other cells
and damaging those cells
this is why we have to get them out of the body
and so you can imagine if my bucket was overflowing
and I have a lot of circulating waste materials
and toxin molecules that are bumping into my cells
and damaging making little tiny micro cuts
my body is gonna have to do a lot of healing
and so
it's going to need to generate a lot of histamine
to facilitate
the inflammation required to do all of that healing so
you know is it the histamine that's the problem
or is the histamine
actually being generated to try to solve
or mitigate a deeper
underlying problem
so whenever I have a new client that says you know
I have I have a lot of allergies
I have hives
I have been diagnosed with mast cell activation
syndrome right away
I know that their little trash can
their little toxin bucket
it's overflowing
and so the histamine is really not the problem per se
it's we gotta get that bucket drained
the drain is too small
because our organs of detoxification
don't have what they need
to work at full capacity and
and open up that drain fully
and get that bucket drained okay
so a lot of people
they're being put on antihistamines and so on well
now I'm preventing my body from making the histamine
that it wants to make
to try to generate necessary inflammation for healing
that can impact our ability to make our stomach acid
can upset our neurotransmitter balance right
these things right
that our body is a very very complex system
it's not just sort of like
you know a plus B equals C right
it's it's not like simple math
it's like
the most complex calculus anyone could imagine
and so when we come in
and we try to sort of play god with our biochemistry
there are going to be other downstream effects
that we can't even anticipate
and we call those side effects okay
so the answer to the problem really
is getting that bucket drained
and our organs of detoxification can drain that bucket
but the organs of detoxification
have to have the nutrients that they need
to function optimally
and they have the cells of those organs
have to have adequate cellular voltage
and so if you've been listening to the podcast a lot
I talk about the three things that we need to do
to restore our health and maintain our health
I call these things the three principles
so the first principle is
we have to get the nutrients that our cells need
to our cells the third principle is
we have to restore our resilience and vitality
and that means cellular voltage
if we're talking about that third principle
at the cellular level the second principle is
we have to clear metabolic waste
materials and toxins that's draining the bucket
but we get backed up in that second principle
because we have a deficiency or a blocker
that's preventing the first principle
and the third principle
from getting to those organs of detoxification
so we have to identify okay
how do we get into this spot in the first place
what do we need to do to correct it
and then your organs of detoxification
are going to do what they're designed to do
which is open that drain up higher
and get that bucket drained
and then the body doesn't need to generate
the histamine okay
so that's a high level overview of what's going on
with histamine
let's bring it to migraines specifically
so histamine
it's it's a chemical signaler that we make
but it's also a naturally occurring compound
other living things use histamine okay
so the food that we eat
will contain naturally occurring histamine
so our digestive track has enzymes
to break down histamine
our digestive track will also make histamine okay
like do you see how complicated this is
and that histamine is not like this this bad thing
it's a highly useful
necessary molecule within the body
but the body has what it's need
what it needs when the body is functioning optimally
it's going to keep things regulated okay
so our digestive track
when our digestive track is functioning properly
it's going to produce an enzyme called d a
O that sort of breaks that histamine apart
that's in the food
or if we've made a little bit too much
in our digestive track
it kind of comes in and cleans things up okay
so again our body isn't stupid right
I mean this is like
there's regulatory mechanisms in place
to account for things you know
like if we're eating histamine right
our body is when it's functioning well
it's gonna keep that well regulated
but
if our digestive track is not functioning optimally
and it's not regulating that histamine level
within the digestive track
you can have the histamine
kind of come into the bloodstream
from the digestive track particularly
if you have something that's called leaky gut
which is basically when you when your digestive tract
when the cells of your digestive tract
they've gotten kind of weak
and they're not butting up together tightly
and forming a tight barrier
and they're kind of like
and then there's a little gap there
then things are going to
kind of come into your bloodstream
without proper regulation
I've done several podcasts on this
we'll link to those in the description
so if we don't have tight
tight junctions in our digestive tract
if we're unable to properly
neutralize or break down the histamine
that's either in the food
or that our digestive tract is produced
we're going to have an influx of histamine
coming into our bloodstream
and then we're going to experience those effects
and if you're prone to migraines yeah
you you could get a migraine
what's happening is
once that histamine hits your bloodstream
that is going to travel to your liver
and then your liver
is going to break that histamine down
but I wanna go back to that bucket
if your bucket is already overflowing
and then you have a big influx of histamine
from your digestive tract
coming into your bloodstream
and then hitting your liver
you're going to overwhelm an over
already overwhelmed liver
and that bucket is gonna overflow
and if you're prone to migraines
that's a great way to get a migraine
so but if you have a trash bucket that's drained
and it's not just overflowing
and like one little drop is gonna make it overflow
but it's like three quarters empty
you can have a big influx of histamine
come into your body from your digestive tract
from your food and your liver
is going to be able to handle it
you're going to put it in that bucket
the bucket isn't going to overflow
and your liver is going to process that
but if the bucket overflows
and you're prone to migraines
you're highly highly likely to get a migraine
so we have sort of villainized
foods that contain histamine
if you Google you know
histamine and migraines
you're gonna get a list of foods
that you're not supposed to eat
if you're prone to migraines
because they have histamine in them
but I'm only going to be affected by that
if my bucket is like
at capacity so we wanna get that bucket drained
so that we've got room for an influx
of histamine molecules
or other toxin molecules from the environment
we don't we want a bucket that can accommodate that
and then we're gonna feel good
we're not gonna get a migraine
and this explains why
people will try to avoid histamine
trying to avoid getting a migraine and so they'll say
okay I'm not gonna have this food
I'm gonna avoid this
his these histamine containing foods
but then oh gosh you know
they're in a restaurant
they're at somebody's house they're at a party well
I kind of wanna eat that food
and I know it has histamine in it
but I'm just gonna give it a shot
and sometimes they don't get a migraine
sometimes they get a horrible migraine right
well that's because our bucket right
the the one time you ate that histamine containing food
and you didn't get a migraine
your bucket was a little bit drained right
you had a little capacity in that bucket
to take that extra histamine on
without getting a migraine
but another time you eat that histamine food
and then your bucket is already overflowing
like it's right up at the top
and then you add more to it
boom
now it's overflowing and now you've got that migraine
the other issue with histamine in the food is that
if there's naturally occurring histamine in the food
it sort of increases over time
so
a lot of migraine sufferers are told to avoid eating
leftovers because if you
if they're kind of in your fridge
and you eat it three days later
and that histamine has been kind of
accumulating within the food for three days
in your fridge and your bucket is overflowing right
again if you have room in your bucket
you can eat the 3 day old leftovers in your fridge
but if your bucket is all the way at the top
and then you have that extra histamine
and your liver can't deal with it
then you're highly likely to get a migraine
so this is why a lot of migraine sufferers
are more prone to getting migraines
if they eat restaurant food
because restaurants are not sort of
lovingly preparing the food right
when you order it right
most restaurants are preparing
big batches of food ahead of time
you know they're they're preparing you know
10 gallons of a sauce on Monday
that they use throughout the week in various dishes
right it's not like you order something
and they're making that sauce from scratch right
right when you order it
restaurants are
preparing big quantities of food ahead of time
and then they are sort of like leftovers right
so you could be ordering something on a Friday night
and they're using the sauce that they made on Monday
and then all that all those days
the histamine has been accumulating in the food
and then you eat it and then you get a migraine
and you blame the food in the restaurant right
or you you blame the histamine in the food
but where's your bucket if your bucket
has the room to accommodate the histamine
whether it's a little bit of histamine
in the food on Monday
or if it's the larger amount of histamine
that built up by Friday
if your bucket has room to accommodate it
you won't feel sick you won't get the migraine
so the ultimate goal is to get that bucket drained okay
and to get that bucket drained
you have to give your organs of detoxification
what they need
within the first principle and the third principle
so when I work with my clients
this is one of the assessments that we do
where do they stand within the first principle
within the third principle
and ultimately within the second principle
and once we know where you stand
then we can put that game plan together
to address those blockers
or those missing pieces what's the best way for you
to give your body what it needs
so that everything starts working optimally again
and then you start feeling better and better
and then as a result your body
it is not being put in a position
where it has to make all of this additional histamine
so if I don't have an overload
of toxin molecules that are circulating around
and damaging things
and requiring all of this extra inflammation
for healing
then I don't need to produce so much histamine
if I have a bucket that's not all the way up to the top
when may comes around and the flowers start blooming
and the grass starts growing
then I can inhale all of those pollen molecules
and not have any allergies
so I used to have horrible allergies okay
and my father has always had bad allergies
so when I started getting allergies
when I was in my early teens
everybody said well
you know what do you expect
your father has allergies
it's genetic okay
by the time I was in high school
I was giving myself shots in my leg once a month okay
I used to have horrific springtime allergies
so bad
that I would get spontaneous nosebleeds at school
when I was in high school
I would just be sitting in English class
and all of a sudden my nose would start gushing blood
because it was so inflamed
and the capillaries would just burst
and that would happen every spring
until I finally got help for my migraines
and the chiropractor
the local chiropractor that I worked with
who helped me restore my health
we got that bucket drained
and what do you know
the next spring I didn't have any allergies
and when I'm working with my clients
who have seasonal allergies
this is something that we track
most people have seasonal allergies in the spring
so if I start working with them in the fall
well we got six to nine months
we can get that bucket drained
and then what do you know
this spring I didn't have any problems
what do you know so it's again
the histamine is being produced
to help flush this material out
because if we bring it into the body
we can't handle it our bucket is already full
and then we're gonna have even more problems
so again we're always trying to find like
what's the one thing that's causing the problem
and then we kind of latch on
it's the histamine it's this
it's that it's never just one thing right
the the one thing that we're pointing our finger at
the histamine is used all over the body
for a wide variety of functions
it's not a boogeyman it's a necessary chemical
signaling molecule that if we didn't have
we wouldn't be able to have an immune response
we wouldn't have adequate
stomach acid for our digestion
we wouldn't have proper neurotransmitter production
right we have to stop thinking about our body
as somehow being like
broken or defective when we don't feel well right
we have to start thinking about okay
what are the root causes
what are the missing pieces or the deficiencies
what doesn't my body have that it needs
to function optimally and keep things well regulated
so if you've been avoiding histamine containing foods
for your migraines
what I would recommend is that you don't just go and
go on a a big binge
and eat a whole bunch of histamine containing foods
okay so if you're sensitive to histamine in foods
if you're having other symptoms
of high histamine within the body
if you have a mast cell activation syndrome diagnosis
right you
you don't want to
overload your body with additional histamine
from the food that you're eating
until you repair your digestive function
so that when you eat food that contains histamine
you have that necessary enzyme in proper amounts
to neutralize the histamine that's in
the food that you're eating okay
so I don't want you to take you know
take away from this podcast that like
histamine is fake or I should
I should be able to eat all the histamine I want
without any problems that's not what I'm saying
so if you've been avoiding histamine containing foods
if you know that histamine is a
so called migraine trigger
for you this is where you wanna reach out
so that we can do this detailed assessment with you
and then I can guide you and recommend okay
what do you need to do
to bring things back into balance
give your body what it needs to function properly
so that you can tolerate the histamine in your food
and so when I have clients like this
that have been avoiding histamine containing foods
we continue that avoidance
until we see the signs that your digestion
is improving and that bucket is draining
okay when your digestion is improving
and that bucket is draining
we will know based on the symptoms
based on the signals based on how you feel
that's gonna be obvious and then we start reintroducing
those histamine containing foods
in a controlled way so that we're not just
you know overwhelming a body
that is still in the healing process
so like I say I don't want you to listen to this
and then just eat a whole bunch of leftovers
if you've been avoiding leftovers okay
we wanna carefully we wanna heal and recover
and then we wanna carefully reintroduce those foods
and when we do this time after time after time
I have clients
that have been on the most restrictive diets
whether it's you know
a low histamine diet or any of these other you know
elimination type diets restrictive diets
we get the digestion working well
we get that bucket drained
that toxin bucket drained and we increase vitality
cellular voltage and the general resiliency
and vitality within the body
and then we reintroduce the foods
and people do just fine and then you can go on vacation
and you can eat the food at the resort
you can go meet your friends for dinner
and you can order off the menu
you can have a special treat food on your birthday
or it's not fun to be on these restrictive diets
and I'm telling you it's not necessary
when we when your body has what it needs
within these three principles
you can eat food okay
you can eat real food we should be able to eat food
okay so and we can even have some occasional treats
okay because life isn't worth living
if we can't have a few treat foods every now and then
right so so very good
so I hope this helps again

with or you've been struggling with

with your migraine management
