My EMF shielding products are helpful for addressing electromagnetic exposure. Electromagnetic frequencies, or EMFs, surround us everywhere in our modern daily lives. The radiation being emitted from your wifi router, your cell phone, your cordless phones, your Bluetooth devices, your microwave oven, and many other products is EMFs. EMFs have been shown to be harmful to human, plant, and animal tissues. In European countries, EMFs have been banned from schools and hospitals. But those same safety measures have not been adopted here in the US.
What is the Best Diet for MCAS (Mast Cell Activation)?
This post discusses how to determine the best diet for MCAS. Each patient will have different tolerated foods, unique triggers, and individual susceptibility to particular mast cell mediators. So the answer to this question is going to be unique to each person.
Better Sleep with MCAS
Let’s talk about getting better sleep with MCAS. Sleep can be a major issue when you have a complex chronic illness like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Without adequate sleep you can’t function at your best, you are chronically tired, and you are prone to accidents and making mistakes. But beyond that, mast cell mediators can actually cause insomnia, excess histamine can cause sleep disturbance, and sleep deprivation can be a trigger for your MCAS symptoms. It is a self-perpetuating cycle that can lead to total misery.
How to Tolerate Exercise with MCAS
Here are the basics of how to tolerate exercise with MCAS. I love to cross-country ski, and with the recent snowfall we received in Minnesota this week, I was excited to get out on the tracks! Part of exercising sustainably for me is knowing how much exertion I can tolerate with my MCAS. Exercise intolerance is a hallmark of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

Are You Sure About Your MCAS Symptom Progression?
Knowing your symptom progression can save a lot of time and energy when you aren’t feeling well. This post outlines the benefits of knowing your symptom progression in a Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Flare.
What is Your MCAS Rescue Plan?
Having an MCAS rescue plan in place is key to managing symptoms. Mast Cell Activation symptom flares can occur from environmental exposures, eating triggering foods, having an emotional upset, a physical injury, work stress, or any combination of stressors that add up to overwhelm your system. Mast cells are involved in immune responses too, so if you get sick your mast cells will send messages to your brain through your nervous system that your body is under attack. You can react to hormonal changes like your monthly period, perimenopause, thyroid issues, and endocrine disruptions stemming from toxic exposures. You can even have a more pronounced mast cell reaction simply to mast cell activity in your body.
