In this week's episode of Zebra Talks, we will get into the "itchy" part of the terrible trifecta that so often impacts people with hypermobility syndromes. Lisa Sherman is back to take us on a deep dive into the world of mast cells: what they are, what they do, and why so many bendy people struggle with the multi-system affects of some seriously unruly mast cells.

Some highlights of this episode include:

Understanding mast cells and their role in the immune system
Clarity on what mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is and is not
Some theories on why so many bendy people have MCAS
Common signs and symptoms of MCAS
Why MCAS can be difficult to identify
The diagnostic process and criteria for MCAS
How MCAS interacts with the other pieces of the "terrible trifecta"
Ways you can manage your "histamine bucket" and keep it emptying efficiently
Why we should all focus first on the four basic pillars of health
Common supplements that can support people with MCAS (always ask your doctor first!)
