When these cells become overactive, they can disrupt hormones, metabolism, gut function, mood, pain pathways and reproductive health. Their conversation highlighted how rising toxin exposure, glyphosate, chronic stress and immune‑disrupting events may be contributing to the increased rates seen in recent years. They also outlined practical, natural strategies for calming mast cells and supporting metabolic repair, including low‑histamine/low‑oxalate dietary frameworks, nutrients like vitamin C and magnesium, herbs such as albizia and baical skullcap, and lifestyle tools like sweating, hydration and toxin reduction.
