Dr. Becky Campbell

share

Dr. Becky Campbell, affectionately known as the “histamine queen,” is a renowned expert in histamine intolerance, gut health, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and mold illness. Dr. Becky is a board-certified doctor of natural medicine who was initially introduced to functional medicine as a patient. She struggled with many of the issues her patients struggle with today, and she has made it her mission to help patients worldwide with her virtual practice and books. Dr. Becky hopes to help others regain their life as functional medicine helped her regain hers.

In this episode, Dr. Becky and I talk about her health journey, the complexities of MCAS, how MCAS differs from histamine intolerance, its impact on women’s health conditions such as endometriosis and PMDD, common symptoms and triggers of histamine intolerance and mold illness, practical insights into how to identify and manage these conditions, and more. Enjoy the episode!
