Episode 555: Mast Cell Activation: Why Your Body Won't Calm Down

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is one of the most misunderstood drivers of chronic inflammation, fatigue, and hypersensitivity. In this episode, I break down what MCAS actually is, why it develops, and how to stabilize it. You'll learn the full physiological sequence behind mast cell activation, the real triggers: mold, infections, hormones, trauma… and how to restore regulation through nervous system work, nutrients, and drainage.
