What if your “anxiety” isn’t just anxiety… but histamine? 👀
SSRIs help some, but for many women, high histamine is the real culprit.

So many women are placed on SSRIs for anxiety, mood swings or “just feeling off.”
And there’s absolutely no shame in that, medication can be life-changing.

What if it’s histamine?

If I hadn’t figured out my histamine intolerance, I’d 100% be that woman on SSRIs.
The intrusive thoughts, ragey mood swings, the anxiety that made me feel like I was crawling out of my skin — all of it.
I even stopped eating peanut butter because I was convinced I’d suddenly become allergic (spoiler: I wasn’t 😂).

Histamine isn’t just an allergy thing. It’s a neurotransmitter that acts like a stimulant in your brain — and when it’s high, it can drive anxiety, insomnia, dizziness, nausea, breast tenderness, itchy skin, reflux, and even those weird “seeing stars in the shower” moments.

Histamine receptors live all over your body — which is why symptoms can seem totally random, but are all connected.

If you’re ticking a few of these boxes and wondering if this might be you, comment “histamine” below and I’ll send you my list of histamine-supportive nutrients. 💌

It’s not just a “missed period.”
It’s your body waving a very big hormonal flag saying something’s off.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No, it’s not normal.
And no, it’s not “lucky.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because no period = no ovulation = no progesterone — the hormone that keeps your mood, bones, metabolism and fertility on track.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what’s actually going on when your hormones go MIA? 👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧠 If it’s Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea (HA):
You’ll often see low FSH, low LH, low DHEA, low testosterone and high cortisol.
Think: overexercising, under-eating, or chronic stress telling your brain to hit pause. Particularly with previous ED you can continue to see chronic suppression years after the fact.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💪 If it’s PCOS:
Expect high LH, high DHEA, high testosterone and high cortisol.
Your brain’s shouting “ovulate!” but the ovaries are stuck
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If it’s High Prolactin:
You’ll see elevated prolactin on a blood test — this can suppress ovulation and stop periods completely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧪 And if you’re not getting a period — get tested.
You don’t need to wait for a “day 21” or “day 3.”
If you’re not cycling, any day is a good day to start investigating.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your period isn’t just a monthly event — it’s a monthly report card for your hormones.
And if it’s missing, it’s time to find out why.

Thinking about getting pregnant? 💫

Your prenatal is not the plan it’s the bare minimum…..

Sure, a good prenatal lays the foundation, but if you really want to optimise your fertility, it’s time to get strategic with your bloods.

🩸 Here’s what I recommend testing pre-pregnancy:
• FBC
• eLFTs
• Vitamin B12 — Ideal >500
• Folate — Ideal >45
• Iron Studies (Iron, Ferritin, Saturation, Transferrin)
• Vitamin D — Ideal 75–120
• TSH — Ideal 1–2
• Thyroid Antibodies
• FSH, LH, Oestrogen, Progesterone
• Cortisol, DHEA, Testosterone, SHBG
• Insulin — Ideal 4–8
• HbA1c — Ideal

You had a fertility check.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It included progesterone, AMH, and a pelvic ultrasound.
You were told, “Everything looks fine.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the problem:
👉🏼 Progesterone only tells you if you ovulated that month — not if you ovulate consistently.
👉🏼AMH is a measure of egg reserve, not egg quality or hormone balance.
👉🏼 Pelvic ultrasounds show structure, but not how your hormones or metabolism are functioning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fertility isn’t just your ovaries.
It’s your thyroid, your nutrient stores, your inflammation levels, your blood sugar, and your overall hormone picture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A complete fertility work-up should include:
✅ Full thyroid panel + antibodies
✅ Insulin + blood sugar markers
✅ Vitamin D, iron, B12, folate, zinc
✅ Inflammatory markers
✅ Hormone mapping across your cycle
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me — have you had a “fertility check” that was really just the big three?
What was missing from yours?
