Background

From a young age, I was aware of how people with chronic illness can suffer. My mother was diagnosed with Crohn's disease before I was born and endured excruciating symptoms for 15 years. The standard conventional medicine approach to Crohn's then was much the same as it is now - prescribe steroids to lessen symptoms and wait until the colon needs to be removed surgically. Scientifically valid, effective supplemental and nutritional therapies were scoffed at by her doctors as not worth pursuing. The number of patients with chronic illness under my care who have successfully gone into symptom-free remission is a constant reminder of how inadequate a one-dimensional approach to patient care can be. I graduated from Cleveland Chiropractic College at the age of 23 and have been active in continuing education to ensure that I have the latest tools and resources available. I specialize in treating those who are told by other doctors that there is no treatment, who are told that they will helplessly watch their chronic condition progress and there is nothing they can do. Philosophy

Headlines abound that promise 'Gut-health,' 'The One Supplement To Heal Your Joint Pain' and 'The Diet To Heal Your Autoimmune Disease' - giving the impression that you just have to do or buy one thing to heal. My new patient appointments are an hour-long because it's all important. Your diet, environment, emotional health, supplements, family history, and patient history since birth - it's all relevant when we are unraveling an illness that, most likely, took decades to create. The testing and nutritional medicines you receive will be completely unique to you as a patient. I do not have a 'one size fits all' treatment plan, as you heal we will adjust your treatment based on your renewed health goals.

After months of development, Dr. Brian Lum’s new online course is officially available!

‘Mastering Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: A Complex Illness Specialist’s Guide’ brings together more than a decade of clinical expertise working with complex and chronic illness.

Over the years, Dr. Lum began noticing a consistent pattern: many patients struggling with persistent symptoms had an underlying histamine component to their illness. Unfortunately, histamine intolerance and MCAS are often misunderstood, which leads many patients down paths that fail to produce meaningful improvement.

This self-paced mini course was created to provide a clear framework for understanding and addressing histamine-related illness.

Inside the course, Dr. Lum walks through three core sections:

1. The 5 Myths About Histamine Intolerance / MCAS
2. The 5 Game-Changers for Healing Histamine
3. Dr. Lum’s 5 Favorite Supplements for Healing Histamine

Each section includes detailed video lessons and research-backed explanations designed to bring greater clarity to this complex condition.

Bonuses:

• A bonus library of tried-and-true, yet highly innovative, clinical protocols developed by Dr. Lum
• A video Q&A library answering common patient questions on the topic
• A collection of practical handouts and resources

Answering more of your questions!

‘Are histamine issues reversible?’

Many approaches to histamine intolerance and MCAS focus on managing symptoms rather than asking deeper questions about why those symptoms exist in the first place.

After years of working with complex, hard-to-treat patients, Dr. Lum has found that many individuals who were told to “just live with” their symptoms were never fully medically investigated.

When the true drivers are identified, meaningful improvement — and often complete symptom resolution — becomes inevitable.

Dr. Lum’s new online course, Mastering Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: A Complex Illness Specialist’s Guide, launches March 11, 2026!

This mini course is a truly unparalleled resource and shares the testing strategies, clinical insights, and real-world approaches that have helped guide our patient population toward complete and lasting healing.

‘Mastering Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: A Complex Illness Specialist’s Guide’ launches March 11, 2026!

Most approaches for Histamine Intolerance/MCAS rely on a series of assumptions that result in limited effectiveness. There is also a damaging underlying insistence that histamine intolerance is something to be managed - not something to be resolved completely.

Complete symptom resolution is a common occurrence in this practice. By specializing in hard-to-treat patients, Dr. Lum learned that everyone is capable of healing completely and that the vast majority of patients who have been told to ‘just live with’ symptoms have not been fully medically investigated.

This mini course is designed to give you real-world solutions that you can apply, specific tests that your doctor can order, and supplements that have been effective for our patient base.

Importantly, it will also change the way you think about histamine-related symptoms.

Many patients come to us having already identified histamine intolerance as a driving factor behind their symptoms. But, for most, histamine intolerance is not the starting point of illness—it is the end result of a much deeper pattern.

In this short case scenario, Dr. Lum shares the story of a patient who spent over 20 years trapped in that cycle. Her symptoms were real and severe, but the underlying issue wasn’t histamine itself. It was a systems-wide pattern that continually signaled her body to overproduce histamine in an effort to keep itself safe in the presence of perceived threats.

Dr. Lum discusses this approach in detail in his upcoming online course titled, “Mastering Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS): A Complex Illness Specialist’s Guide.” This self-paced course offers perspectives rarely found in medicine and will be available for purchase in less than 3 weeks!

For anyone who has struggled with confusing, persistent symptoms, this course offers both hope and a clear framework for lasting healing.

Once the underlying patterns behind your symptoms are identified and addressed, the body can do what it was designed to do—heal. That possibility exists for every human being.

Launching March 11, 2026.

We are so excited to announce that Dr. Brian Lum’s brand new online mini-course, “Mastering Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS): A Complex Illness Specialist’s Guide” is almost here!

Launching March 11, 2026.

Dr. Brian Lum is a board-certified functional medicine practitioner (IFMCP) as well as a complex illness specialist. For over a decade, he has sought the most complex patients who were not responding to conventional treatment or whose collections of symptoms did not have a diagnosis.

Using the latest scientific advancements and diagnostic tools, he crafts individual treatment plans using clinical-grade supplementation and nutritional guidance.

Dr. Lum noticed that most of his patients had a histamine component to their chronic illness and that the typical approach to healing histamine issues did not have a high success rate.

Using his specialized knowledge, he will address the top myths keeping you from getting better and outline the game-changing interventions to help you heal naturally.

The key to getting rid of histamine-related issues relies in the specificity of treatment and the ‘order of operations’ in which those treatments are administered.

In this online-course format, Dr. Lum can help you chart a path forward out of ambiguous treatment options and the overly restrictive yet ineffective dietary interventions.

Stay tuned for additional updates!

While histamine excess is often associated with symptoms like hives, flushing, and digestive upset, it can also show up in more subtle ways—such as brain fog, anxiety, headaches, or even acid reflux.

These lesser-known symptoms are frequently overlooked or misattributed, which can often make healing feel confusing or out of reach.

In just a few short weeks, Dr. Lum will be releasing an in-depth online course focused on histamine-related conditions and his tried-and-true approach to helping hundreds of people heal worldwide.
