Do some foods leave you feeling worse instead of better?
If you notice flushing, headaches, digestive upset, anxiety, or fatigue after meals, histamine may be part of the picture. And it is often overlooked.
Histamine intolerance is not about eating “bad” foods or cutting everything out. It is about understanding which foods are more likely to trigger symptoms, and how to build meals that feel supportive instead of reactive.
On this week’s episode of Ruscio Radio, I break down a clear, practical approach to histamine and food, without unnecessary restriction.
In the episode, I cover:
Which high-histamine foods are most likely to trigger symptoms
Why food freshness and preparation matter as much as the food itself
What to eat instead so meals still feel satisfying and nourishing
How to approach histamine concerns without over-restricting your diet
If you have ever felt confused by conflicting histamine food lists, or frustrated that “healthy” foods do not always sit well, this episode will help you make sense of it all.
