Fix Your Allergies By Fixing Your Gut And Changing Your Diet with Dr. Cindy Geyer

Fix Your Allergies By Fixing Your Gut And Changing Your Diet | This
episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and MitoPure Seasonal
allergies are something we’re all familiar with, whether you’re
personally affected or not—and they’re rising in prevalence.
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to substances in the
environment making IgE antibodies that trigger mast cells to
release histamine. High histamine levels cause symptoms like itchy
watery eyes, sneezing, stuffy nose, headaches, and more.
Conventional treatments may help reduce symptoms temporarily, but
they often include steroids which can be detrimental to your immune
system, may contribute to osteoporosis, and, most importantly,
don’t address the root cause of the immune dysregulation. In this
episode, Dr. Hyman discusses seasonal allergies with Dr. Cindy
Geyer. They talk about how our early life informs the immune system
and what steps parents can take to ensure a healthy gut flora and
healthy immune system, right from the start. They also discuss ways
to address the root cause of the allergy symptoms using diet,
supplements, stress reduction, and more. Dr. Cindy Geyer received
her Bachelor of Science and her Doctor of Medicine degrees, with
honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in
internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y.
and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative
medicine, and lifestyle medicine. She joined The Ultrawellness
Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the medical director
at Canyon Ranch for 23 years. She has served on the Board of
Directors for the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and is a
recently elected fellow of ACLM. Dr. Geyer has been a core faculty
member at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM) for 20 years,
teaching physicians and other healthcare professionals how to use
food and lifestyle to address health concerns in their own lives
and those of their patients. A clinician, educator, and avid hiker,
she is passionate about collaborative approaches to health and
wellness: from the integrative team model in working with
individual patients, to community partnerships that together can
affect healthy changes in the places people live and work. This
