In this episode of the Histamine Well Podcast, Joanne is joined by Naturopath Mariela Gebhardt from Austria to discuss a fascinating and complex case. Initially thought to be related to SIBO, Mariela shares how, despite seeing early improvement in her patient's gut health, she remained in a heightened anxious state and developed an unusual symptom: toe pain.Mariela identified this as an oxalate issue, which was later confirmed through Organic Acids testing. This discovery prompted Mariela to inquire further about mould exposure, which quickly became clear as a significant factor.Mariela humbly acknowledges that the mould and oxalate issue should have been identified during the initial consultation, but, due to her lack of training in this area at the time, it wasn’t immediately apparent. However, after mentoring with Joanne and her colleague Melanie Peers, her perspective shifted, and she now approaches these cases with greater insight.This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with chronic histamine issues, as well as practitioners and students interested in more complex cases.Connect with Joanne: Website: Joanne Kennedy | Sydney Naturopath Book a Consultation Histamine & Methylation Group Coaching Course for Practitioners & Students The Ultimate Bundle for Managing Histamine Intolerance Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Ask a question or Suggest a Topic for the Show

Health Implications of Low Homocysteine – A Clinical Perspective
In this episode of the Histamine Well Podcast, host Joanne delves into the often-overlooked topic of low homocysteine levels. Joanne explains that while high homocysteine is commonly flagged for its cardiovascular risks, low homocysteine is seldom discussed despite its significant implications for health. She explores how low homocysteine can indicate sulfur depletion, often linked to issues such as oxalate toxicity and mold illness. The episode covers the methylation process, the importance of methionine, and the roles of cysteine, glutathione, and taurine. Joanne also discusses the impact of stress, diet, and poor absorption on homocysteine levels and underscores the connection between oxalates and sulfur depletion. Whether you are a practitioner or navigating your personal wellness journey, this episode provides actionable insights into understanding and addressing low homocysteine to improve overall health.Connect with Joanne: Website: Joanne Kennedy | Sydney Naturopath Book a Consultation Histamine & Methylation Group Coaching Course for Practitioners & Students The Ultimate Bundle for Managing Histamine Intolerance Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Ask a question or Suggest a Topic for the Show

Understanding Multiple Food Intolerances: Histamine, Oxalates, Sulfur and More!
In this episode of The Histamine Well, Joanne breaks down the complexities of multiple food intolerances.She explains how SIBO and oxalates can drive up histamine, leading to oxalate, histamine, and FODMAP intolerances.Oxalates also deplete sulfur. This can cause an overgrowth of sulfur-producing bacteria in the gut, triggering sulfur intolerance. A lack of sulfur can also contribute to salicylate intolerance.Joanne explores the link between nervous system dysfunction and food intolerances, showing how they are deeply connected.She also shares how to prioritize which intolerances to address first. Plus, she covers the importance of testing to uncover the root causes.Tune in to learn more!Connect with Joanne: Website: Joanne Kennedy | Sydney Naturopath Book a Consultation Histamine & Methylation Group Coaching Course for Practitioners & Students The Ultimate Bundle for Managing Histamine Intolerance Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Ask a question or Suggest a Topic for the Show
