Hives, Heart Palpitations and Histamine: Menopause, MCAS or Something Else? - Natalie Jill
07/20/2026 | 53 mins.Do you get random itching, your heart races after you eat, or you get hives out of nowhere and have no idea why?
Have you been told it's just stress or anxiety, but deep down you know something else is going on?
We cover:
What histamine actually is and why so many midlife women are dealing with it without even knowing it
How perimenopause and menopause can slowly ramp up your histamine response and what the early signs look like
The surprising connection between cortisol, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and why you can't seem to calm down
Which common "healthy" foods might be making things worse, and what actually helped Natalie get her body back
The supplement and lifestyle protocol Natalie used to go from covered in hives to back in control
Natalie Jill is a high-performance coach, licensed master sports nutritionist, and fitness expert who helps women redefine aging through mindset and metabolic health. After decades of working in fitness, she faced her own series of medical challenges that forced her to completely rebuild her body and mindset from the ground up.

The new testing technology that tracks your hormones over time instead of just giving you one snapshot
