Did you know your diet could be fueling your inflammation and hair loss — even if you’re eating “healthy”? 👀
If you’re dealing with shedding, itchy skin, bloating, brain fog, or random food sensitivities… histamine overload might be the missing link. 🧬
Histamine is a natural compound involved in digestion, immunity, and even your hair cycle — but too much of it = inflammation, gut irritation, and hair follicle stress.
And here’s the kicker: your body breaks down histamine through specific enzymes (like DAO) — but those enzymes can become overwhelmed by stress, gut issues, and certain foods.
🥑 What makes it worse?
Foods high in histamine or that trigger its release:
❌ Fermented foods (kombucha, sauerkraut, vinegar)
❌ Aged cheeses, deli meats, smoked fish
❌ Avocados, tomatoes, spinach, eggplant
❌ Leftovers (histamine rises the longer food sits)
❌ Alcohol (especially wine and beer)
🥦 What helps bring it down?
Focus on fresh, whole foods that are naturally low in histamine and support your body’s detox pathways:
✅ Fresh-cooked meats and wild-caught fish
✅ Sweet potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, zucchini
✅ Blueberries, apples, mangos
✅ Vitamin C-rich foods: bell peppers, kiwi, broccoli
✅ Anti-inflammatory herbs: parsley, cilantro, ginger
✅ Omega-3s: flax, chia, salmon
These foods can help calm mast cell activation, support DAO enzyme function, and reduce overall inflammation — so your hair follicles can thrive again. 💆♀️
📌 Save this list if you’re dealing with mystery symptoms, chronic inflammation, or unexplained hair loss. Sometimes the first step is cleaning up what’s on your plate.
