Spring allergies or more hormone drama? + announcement

Hi friends,

Loving the light of Spring & dodging the sneezes

I used to think I’d outgrown spring allergies. In my 20s, I had a runny nose for a few weeks each year—then it disappeared. Easy.

Then I hit my 40s. Suddenly I’m sneezing again, my eyes itch, and I’m getting random skin flare-ups after certain meals.
At first, I thought, “Great, now food is setting me off too?” But eventually, I realized—of course—hormones are involved.

Estrogen increases histamine, the chemical behind all the classic allergy symptoms: sneezing, itching, inflammation, brain fog. And during perimenopause, estrogen doesn’t just decline. It swings, spiking and crashing. Meanwhile, progesterone—the hormone that helps buffer histamine—starts making an early exit.

Now in my 50s, I still feel it. My reactions are different, but the inflammation is real—especially when I’m low on sleep, stressed, or my digestion’s off.

I hope the tips below bring you some relief!

Warmly,

Spring Allergy Supportive Sheet Pan Dinner
