Histamine intolerance is rarely just about histamine.
If you’re a woman over 40 cycling through low-histamine, gluten-free, dairy-free, AIP, or “gut-healing” diets and still reacting to healthy foods, your body may be asking for a more personalized approach.
I help women uncover the gut, gene, inflammation, and hormone connections behind food reactions so they can stop fearing food and start rebuilding tolerance with confidence.
Does this sound like you?
You’re eating healthier than ever…so why do you feel worse?
You may be here because:
You react to "healthy" foods like avocado, spinach, yogurt, bone broth, leftovers, tomatoes, or fermented foods.
You've tried low-histamine, AIP, gluten-free, dairy-free, or low-oxalate diets and still don't know what is safe to eat.
Your symptoms shift between bloating, skin flares, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, flushing, or joint discomfort.
You've been told to keep restricting, but your food list keeps getting smaller.
You suspect your gut, hormones, inflammation, or genes are part of story-but no one has connected the dots.
The problem may not be that you need more restriction. The problem may be that your body needs better support.
My Approach
A different approach to histamine intolerance.
Most advice stops at “avoid high-histamine foods.” My approach looks deeper:
- Your Gut and microbiome.
- Your ability to break down histamine.
- Your inflammatory load.
- Your hormone patterns in perimenopause and menopause.
- Your genetic patterns.
- Your nutrient needs.
- Your real-life food tolerance, not just a food list.
Because the goal is not to live on five “safe” foods forever. The goal is to understand your body well enough to rebuild trust with food.
What I specialize in:
Finding the root cause of histamine intolerance, helping you navigate genomic testing, and using a food-first, gut-health healing approach as a GEMM practitioner.
Food Reactions & Histamine Intolerance
For women reacting to healthy foods, leftovers, fermented foods, high-histamine foods, and “safe meals that suddenly feel unsafe.
Gut Health & Food Tolerance
Because most food intolerance patterns are tied to digestion, microbiome balance, immune activation, and gut barrier function.
Genes, Inflammation, & Hormones
A personalized look at why your body may struggle with histamine, detoxification, methylation, estrogen balance, inflammation, and immune regulation.
Hi, I'm Eileen - clinical and functional nutritionist, and nutrigenomics counselor
I know what it feels like to open the fridge and wonder what you can eat without triggering a headache, skin flare, insomnia, bloating, or brain fog.
For years, I thought I just needed the right list of foods. But my real progress began when I started looking more deeply into the connection among gut health, histamine, inflammation, hormones, and genes.
Now I help women take a more personalized, food-first approach to food intolerance so they can rebuild confidence, expand their diet, and support the body systems that influence histamine from the inside out.
