Navigating the Complexities of MCAS and Chronic Conditions

I began this blog back in 2019 to chronicle my recovery from secondary Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I wasn’t sure I could do it at the beginning. But, with the help of a great medical team, I researched and literally did every single thing I … Continue reading Navigating the Complexities of MCAS and Chronic Conditions
Poll: How did you first learn about MCAS?
Hey everyone, Recently, I’ve been surprised to see the numbers on my Mast Cell Healing Facebook page shooting up. A few months ago, I had 100 followers – now I have almost 400. I don’t often talk about underlying medical conditions on this blog, because my goal is to keep it a safe space for those using neural retraining principles. (For those who don’t know, neural retraining … Continue reading Poll: How did you first learn about MCAS?
Dr. Castells officially approves of my blog :)
Hey everyone, Just an exciting little update– I met with Dr. Castells last week (for those who don’t know, she’s one of the top mast cell experts in the world!). Somehow, I was lucky enough back in 2018 to get in off her waiting list and become one of her patients. Dr. Castells has taught me so many things I could never have learned anywhere … Continue reading Dr. Castells officially approves of my blog 🙂
I made it.
Hey guys, One of the things I love about doing coaching calls is that, when I listen to all of your stories, it helps me pick out the pieces of my own story that are actually universal. There were glimmers of hope and pieces of insight along the way, that I didn’t necessarily realize were going to be key at the time— all I could … Continue reading I made it.
New adventures
Looking back three years ago when I first developed mast cell issues… I hardly could’ve dreamed I’d get the point I’m at now. I honestly don’t think about my mast cell issues that much, on a day to day basis. I’ve reduced my medication by a full 90% I exercise regularly I drink coffee (an important part of my life lol) I’ve dramatically expanded my … Continue reading New adventures

My treatment team
I am so incredibly fortunate to have found an amazing team of medical professionals to help me on this journey. When I’m trying to tackle a problem, I tackle it from all angles.

He was the keynote speaker … Continue reading My treatment team
A mast cell moment of success (sweet potatoes!)
Hey everyone, I thought it might be helpful to start chronicling some of my moments of success. Like, times I was able to do (or eat!) something that once seemed impossible. If you’re new to my blog, I was diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome in 2018 by a few doctors, including Dr. Maria Castells. Dr. Castells, and others, told me it was possible for … Continue reading A mast cell moment of success (sweet potatoes!)
Dishwasher hacks for multiple chemical sensitivity
Hey everyone, So this post is the product of way more time spent researching that I’d intended! A few months ago I started noticing my dishwasher was leaving residue on everything. At first, I thought it was purely a chemical sensitivity reaction to the detergent, as the very first thing I noticed was that my throat would start hurting anytime I ate or drank anything. … Continue reading Dishwasher hacks for multiple chemical sensitivity
Why staying hydrated helps keep your mast cells calm
Hey everyone, I just had a check-in with my nurse practitioner/friend Erin, and she brought up something that of course makes total sense, but I hadn’t thought of… Staying hydrated helps keep your mast cells calm I try to always phrase things in a positive way on this blog, to keep it compatible with neural retraining. However, if we really think of it on the … Continue reading Why staying hydrated helps keep your mast cells calm
