If This Sounds Like You, You're in the Right Place

 You go out to dinner with friends. You're so careful. You still get home flushed, itchy, hot, bloated, and then you feel like garbage for the next three days. And you sit there thinking, was that even worth it?

Your list of "safe foods" used to be short. Now it's this thing, and that thing, and oh, I can't do that anymore either. Every few months it gets a little smaller, and you're starting to wonder if you're going to end up eating four foods forever.

You've been to the doctor. They ran an allergy panel. It came back basically normal. And they told you you're fine. And you're sitting there thinking, I am clearly not fine. My body reacts to everything. What is happening to me?

Here's the truth: histamine intolerance does not show up on an allergy test. Those are two completely different things. The system wasn't built with women in mind, and this is one of the pieces that gets missed the most. If you've felt dismissed, it's not in your head. It's the model. And we're going to work around it in this workshop.

 It's Not About One Bad Food. It's About a Bucket.

Here's the single most important idea in this whole workshop.

Everyone has a histamine bucket. Histamine itself is not the enemy. It's a normal, helpful chemical your body makes on purpose. The problem is not that you have histamine. The problem is that your bucket is already full to the top before you even sit down to eat.

When your bucket is nearly full, one glass of wine, one piece of leftover chicken, one bowl of soup that sat in the fridge for two days, and it overflows. That overflow is your symptoms. The flushing. The racing heart. The itching. The headache. The bloat. The anxiety.

This is why a food you were totally fine with last month suddenly wrecks you this month. The food didn't change. Your bucket was just fuller that day.

Fun fact: Histamine isn't just in your body, it's in your food, and it builds up as food ages. Leftovers, aged cheese, cured meat, wine, kombucha, anything fermented or aged. That's why so many women feel worse eating the same meal as leftovers than they did the night they cooked it fresh. You're not imagining it. That's chemistry.

There Are Three Reasons Your Bucket Overflows. In the Workshop, We'll Figure Out Which One Is Yours.

Some buckets have too much pouring in. Some buckets have a clogged drain and can't empty. And some buckets get topped off on a schedule every single month by your hormones. Three totally different problems. Three completely different fixes. That's exactly why "just avoid histamine" fails so many women.

Hi, I’m Dr. Beth Westie!

I'm a functional medicine practitioner focused entirely on women's health, and this topic is deeply personal to me.

I spent years with a gut that was a wreck and had no idea. I grew up on a goat farm in Minnesota, played three sports, ate meat and potatoes every single day, and I was still exhausted, still reactive, still not right. It turned out I had celiac and wasn't absorbing anything, and my gut had been inflamed for years. Nobody looked at the whole picture. When your gut is a mess, your histamine bucket is a mess too.

That's the entire reason I do this work the way I do it now. I built my practice around the women who keep getting told they're fine when they clearly aren't, and I want you to leave this workshop understanding your body in a way you never have before.
