In this episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi explores what is happening inside the body during seasonal allergy season and why histamine can make spring feel draining, inflamed, and frustrating. This is Episode 192, and it is a practical, research-backed conversation on pollen, mast cells, histamine release, and what women can do to calm the allergic response naturally.
Dr. Anthony lays out a clear and balanced game plan: reduce exposure, clear pollen from the nasal passages, and support the immune system with smart nutrition, probiotic-rich foods, targeted supplements, and when needed, well-chosen over-the-counter tools. He explains the role of quercetin, specific probiotic strains, vitamin C, stinging nettle, nasal saline irrigation, HEPA air filtration, antihistamines, and intranasal therapies.
If spring brings sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, congestion, or poor sleep, this episode offers a grounded path forward. It is full of practical takeaways to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more energized during allergy season.
