  Episode 51- How She Rebuilt Her Health and Approach to SIBO, Mold & Histamine with Elizabeth Aylor

  Aug 24, 202650 min

  This episode features Stephanie Peacock in conversation with Elizabeth Aylor Fitness, who shares her own long, hard-earned path through eczema, asthma, OCD, severe bloating, parasites, SIBO, mold exposure, and mast cell activation. The discussion centers on why gut issues keep relapsing, why motility and nervous system regulation matter so much, and how a root-cause approach can create real recovery. In this episode, Stephanie and Elizabeth cover the overlap between SIBO, histamine intolerance, thyroid dysfunction, mold toxicity, and hormone imbalance. Elizabeth also explains why she avoids overusing kill protocols, elimination diets, and trendy supplements, and instead starts with restoration, food reintroduction, and individualized testing. About our guest: Elizabeth Aylor is a Holistic Nutritionist & Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) who utilizes advanced functional testing to uncover hidden dysfunction within the gut, immune system, hormones, detoxification pathways, and metabolism, allowing clients to address root causes rather than simply manage symptoms. Her passion comes from personal experience. At 22, I found myself struggling with severe depression, chronic digestive dysfunction, H. pylori, candida, multiple gut pathogens, food sensitivities, and an eating disorder.

  Aug 12, 20261h 1m

  Tess Hilmo on MCAS Recovery, Low Histamine Nutrition, and Building Consider This Nutrition Bars Tess Hilmo, founder of Consider This Nutrition Bars, joins Dr. Stephanie Peacock to share the personal health crisis that led her to create low histamine bars for people with MCAS and histamine intolerance. This conversation covers her diagnosis journey, the role of gut health and nervous system regulation, and how she built a product grounded in lab testing and ingredient transparency. We also discuss why many low histamine food lists are outdated, how to use the SIGHI list more effectively, and what Tess has learned about reducing flares without over-restricting food. Key topics Tess shares how COVID triggered severe MCAS symptoms for her, including asthma, dysautonomia, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, brain fog, bradycardia, and halted speech. In this episode, Tess outlines her recovery foundations: low histamine eating, 30 plant points per week, nervous system work, trigger avoidance, and careful supplementation. Tess breaks down why many histamine food lists are outdated and why the SIGHI list is the most science-based, current resource for food ratings. Tess goes deep on how her bars are formulated with low moisture ingredients, independent lab testing, histamine and tyramine checks, and ingredient sourcing that avoids mold risk and heavy metals. Tess talks about how the bars are meant to support microbiome diversity, with 8 to 10 plant ingredients per bar and nearly 40 percent of daily fiber in some varieties. She discusses the nicotine patch therapy that helped her brain fog, energy, and nervous system stability, and how a microdose GLP-1 has further improved her baseline. Stephanie and Tess discuss mindset during flares, including the idea that healing is a ladder, not a straight line, and that progress should be measured over time.
