Hormones can give us valuable information, but they are one part of a much bigger picture. Symptoms aren’t always explained entirely by hormones, and hormonal changes themselves can reflect what is happening elsewhere in the body.
The more useful question is often not simply “Are my hormones balanced?” but “What is this pattern telling us, and what else should we be looking at?”
Histamine is best known for its role in allergic reactions, but it also plays a much bigger role in the female body than most people realize. Histamine influences estrogen levels. Estrogen, in turn, ramps up histamine production. Add in a sluggish gut or nutrient deficiencies, and you’ve got the perfect storm for symptoms that are often written off as "just PMS" or even misdiagnosed as PMDD.
