Natural Allergy Treatment

Could a zinc deficiency be contributing to your allergies or histamine intolerance? In this episode, our Melbourne Naturopath & PAT Practitioner Leila DiQuinzio explores the connection between zinc, immune function, gut health, inflammation and histamine, including how zinc may influence mast cells and allergic responses. She’ll cover the signs and causes of zinc deficiency, the best food sources of zinc, and what to consider before supplementing. Zinc isn’t necessarily a cure-all, but could be an important piece of the allergy and histamine puzzle for you.Full episode - https://naturalallergytreatment.com.au/does-zinc-deficency-cause-allergies/ Learn more about Positive Association Technique (PAT) - https://naturalallergytreatment.com.au/positive-association-technique-pat/ Leila's Naturopathic Clinic Website - https://leiladiquinzio.com/

When we think about allergies, we often think about the world outside our homes: pollen, pollution, grass, pets and other environmental triggers. But what about the air and surfaces inside our own homes? That’s why allergy friendly cleaning is important. For people living with allergies, eczema, or respiratory symptoms, the home environment can play an important role in how they feel day to day. And while it isn’t possible, or necessary, to create a completely sterile home, there are practical ways to reduce the everyday dust, allergens, fragrances and other irritants that can build up around us. For our Brisbane Naturopath and Positive Association Technique (PAT) practitioner Belinda, this realisation led to a new business venture: creating her own North Brisbane based allergy-friendly cleaning company, Beyond Clean Living - https://www.beyondcleanliving.com.au/ In this episode we explore the various components of an allergy friendly cleaning approach, and how you can implement this in your own home and improve your overall health.  Mention this podcast episode to receive $50 off your first regular clean or $150 off a once-off dean clean with Beyond Clean Living!

In this episode of the Natural Allergy Treatment Podcast, Jess is joined by Canberra naturopath and Positive Association Technique (PAT) practitioner Fiona Joiner to explore the connection between allergies, gut health and immune function to help explain why those with allergies or food sensitivities seem to catch every cold and flu going around. Fiona explains the foundations of a healthy immune system, including the role of nutrition, the innate immune system, mucosal barriers and Secretory IgA in particular. The conversation also explores how the gut microbiome and food sensitivities influences immune function, why allergy induced inflammation can make viral infections harder to recover from, and how allergy symptoms can sometimes be confused with a lingering cold. If you regularly find yourself catching every bug going around, taking a closer look at your allergies, nutrition, gut health, inflammation, stress and recovery may be more useful than simply adding another immune-boosting supplement to your routine.

If you or your child struggles with eczema, you’ve probably been here before… Trying cream after cream, hoping this one will finally be the answer. Only to end up with a shelf full of half-used products, and skin that’s still flaring. In our latest Natural Allergy Treatment Podcast episode, Jess is joined by Brisbane Naturopath Belinda (aka The Eczema Naturopath) to unpack a question we hear all the time: Why does it feel like nothing really works long-term?

In this episode, we break down: Why eczema-prone skin behaves the way it does (and why it flares so easily) What creams can actually do (and where they fall short) Common mistakes, even with “natural” products, that can make symptoms worse How to choose a cream that supports your skin instead of irritating it The often-overlooked internal drivers behind eczema A simple, practical tip you can try at home today Plus, we explore a different approach… Instead of constantly chasing triggers or avoiding everything, we talk about how Positive Association Technique (PAT) helps reduce the body’s over-reactivity, so your skin becomes more resilient over time.

If you’re in your forties or fifties and suddenly dealing with itchy skin, flushing, hives, sneezing fits, food reactions, or migraines — you’re not imagining it.

To understand why this happens and how Positive Association Technique (PAT) can be beneficial during perimenopause, we need to explore the fascinating hormonal histamine connection – oestrogen and histamine are like dance partners who can either move in perfect harmony or step all over each other’s toes.
