Megan's Autumn Allergies Protocol
Our Founder & Owner, Megan Kingdon
As autumn arrives, the changing leaves and cooler temperatures beckon us outdoors. Yet, for those grappling with fall allergies, this season can be challenging to manage on-set symptoms that can hinder everyday tasks and life.
Read on for WR’s tried and true defense against seasonal allergies, a scientifically-backed protocol, and other ways to combat the natural synchronicity of the changing seasons…
MEGAN’S PROTOCOL
The best way to treat allergies is to stay ahead of the histamine release!
But, what exactly is a Histamine Release?
Histamine is released from cells in response to an antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE). This antibody may be secreted in response to an invading pathogen such as a virus, bacteria, or an allergenic substance such as pollen. Histamine can also be released in response to injury caused by toxins.
The goal here is to have a defense in place before your body has to respond.
This season, our owner and founder, Megan Kingdon, has partnered with Metagenics to create a custom supplemental protocol to get ahead (or get back to baseline) with the upcoming environmental changes.
BREAKING IT ALL DOWN…
Sinuplex
A powerful combination that supports healthy respiratory function - AKA your secret weapon during allergy season. It contains a unique blend of…
Vitamin C - Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties and improves the levels of inflammatory mediators. In short it helps prevent histamine release and prevent inflammation everywhere, but especially in airways that may be susceptible in allergy season.
Quercetin and Bromelain - Often found in pineapples, both treat respiratory distress and inflammation associated with allergies.
Stinging Nettle Root Extract - Vitamins, minerals, all essential amino acids and polyphenols - nettles are (one of ;) nature's wonder plants and they act as a powerful, natural antihistamine (p.s. we have nettles in our apothecary too!)
NAC - Improves allergic rhinitis, inhibits eosinophils (the accumulation of inflammatory cells in the respiratory tract), helps thin and clear mucus, and helps enhance glutathione stores - this is only as it relates to allergies, but there is an even more extensive list of amazing benefits.
Magnesium Threonate
A proven Bronchodilator and antihistamine, helps to relieve airway constriction.
What's more - studies show that histamine response is more intense when our bodies are Magnesium deficient - hello, super supplement!
