Bulletproof radio. A state of high performance.
What would you say for someone who says, oh, I recognize that I'm one of these histamine sensitive people. And I'm gonna guess it's probably 40% of people have some degree of sensitivity. It's high.
Yeah, I think it's a good number.
They just don't know. Like sometimes I'm tired after I eat. I'm like, sometimes it's what you ate and you know, maybe it was that maybe you're allergic to eggs or something. But when it's that sudden drop after a meal, then you know it, it's something. So what, what would the basic things, okay, don't eat high histamine foods, which is basically leftovers. Pork that wasn't very, very fresh or fish that wasn't fresh. Certainly no fish sauce and no fermented soy. I'm trying to get the big ones right.
Yeah. And you know, avocado I, I find is a, is a big problem for people. Alcohol. Yeah. Well, and just sometimes in general, I mean it's, you know, histamine producing food for whatever. You know, strawberries, which you would think, like, why would strawberries bother me? Citrus fruits based, definitely fermented foods and alcohol I think are the biggest hitters. And you know, aged meats, aged cheeses, all that stuff with. Because it's the fermentation process. So I would say, you know, cut out the biggest hitters. And in my book I have a yes, no and maybe list because I really try to get people to be able to eat as much as they can. So I say just start with eliminating the no foods. And that's kind of like the foods we named.
What I do is I minimize those foods. But there's times when like, look, we, we raise the best pork on the planet and we actually tell them, don't hang it for a long time, freeze it when it's still fresh so there isn't any breakdown of the proteins to make histamine. But if I'm going to eat something that I know is maybe a leftover, I will take Dao, which is an enzyme that you can buy that helps to break it down. And I'll take a part of a Benadryl and I can do it. And I don't eat 3 day old guacamole because it's just bad. But if it's from good avocados that have black spots.
