Steps

01Cook fresh. Leftovers grow histamine in the fridge — freeze extras the night you cook.
02Pause wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, and long ferments for a defined trial.
03Vitamin C from peppers and greens, not juice.
04Keep meals simple so you can see the trigger, not a mystery bowl.
05Hives with swelling of tongue or breath is emergency care — not a leftover policy.

Eat

Fresh meat or eggs (same day)
Zucchini
Olive oil
Bell peppers
Blueberries (few)
Rice (if not keto) or extra greens

Skip

Wine and beer
Aged cheese
Leftovers past day one
Bone broth that sat all week

Food-first notes

Marine omega-3
Cools joints, supports brain and skin, balances the omega-6 load of modern food.
Zinc (food-led)
Skin, hair, immunity. Easy to miss on a cheese-and-bulletproof-coffee menu.
