Episode description

What happens when the person paid to have all the answers suddenly gets hit with a medical mystery that turns their world entirely upside down? Vicki Jeha is a counseling therapist who spent years helping people navigate their own minds—until her own body decided to stage a coup. In 2023, mid-therapy session, Vicki’s vision started sliding, her limbs went numb, and she was carried out of her office on a stretcher. The diagnosis? A double-whammy of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance.In this episode, we dig into the "perfect storm" that broke Vicki's immune system, the absolute absurdity of being a therapist who is "allergic to stress," and why a healthy spinach salad is basically poison when your internal "fire alarm" won't stop going off.
