Histamines, Inflammation, and the Path to Better Health with Dr. Meg Mill

Stronger Bones Lifestyle

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Meg Mill, a functional medicine practitioner, best-selling author, and podcast host of A Little Bit Healthier. Together, we dive deep into the fascinating role histamines play in your health. Histamines are often misunderstood as just allergy triggers, but they’re critical to your immune system, digestion, and even mental health.

Dr. Mill explains how histamine intolerance can manifest as anxiety, headaches, or even bone density issues. We also explore how gut health, diet, and nervous system regulation are key to overcoming chronic inflammation. This conversation is full of practical advice to help you understand your body and take meaningful steps toward better health and stronger bones.

Key Takeaways

The Role of Histamines – Understanding histamines as a vital part of your immune response and how they can become harmful when poorly regulated.

Gut Health Connection – Exploring how imbalanced gut bacteria and poor digestive function impair the breakdown of histamines, leading to chronic symptoms like fatigue and anxiety.

Bone Health Implications – Learning how histamines impact bone-building and bone-dissolving cells, potentially disrupting bone density and contributing to osteoporosis.

Dietary Triggers and Histamines – Identifying problematic foods like fermented products, aged cheeses, and even meal-prepped leftovers, which can exacerbate histamine intolerance.

Personalized Healing – Highlighting the importance of addressing histamine overload through tailored protocols that consider gut health, dietary changes, and nervous system regulation.
