If they have knowledge that can help us heal - body, mind and soul - I'm happy to have a chat with them and share with you!\" As my skills improve (technology wise) I'll be sharing information in an editorial / information sharing format as well. Madonna has been studying healing modalities for 3 decades and has been a kinesiology trainer for over 15 years. As a naturopath and kinesiologist, energetic healer and nutritionist, herbalist and homeopath, radio guest for a dozen years - there is a massive amount of knowledge that she has to draw from.

They discussed how mast cells act as immune sentinels throughout the body — reacting to stress, toxins, infections, chemicals, foods and environmental triggers. When these cells become overactive, they can disrupt hormones, metabolism, gut function, mood, pain pathways and reproductive health. Their conversation highlighted how rising toxin exposure, glyphosate, chronic stress and immune‑disrupting events may be contributing to the increased rates seen in recent years. They also outlined practical, natural strategies for calming mast cells and supporting metabolic repair, including low‑histamine/low‑oxalate dietary frameworks, nutrients like vitamin C and magnesium, herbs such as albizia and baical skullcap, and lifestyle tools like sweating, hydration and toxin reduction. Madonna explained how GLP‑1 and GIP receptors on mast cells can be naturally stimulated through whole foods — including proteins, healthy fats, legumes and fibre‑rich plants — offering supportive alternatives to pharmaceutical GLP‑1 agonists. Together, they emphasised early identification, environmental awareness, stress support and personalised natural therapies as essential steps in preventing MCAS from progressing into deeper metabolic and reproductive dysfunction.
