Episode Description
In this revealing episode of the Life Longevity Zone, Todd and Justyna return to the core of root-cause healing: inflammation, gut health, and the surprising role of histamine. They open with a lighthearted chat about their new at-home workouts (booty gains and all), before diving deep into the next stage of Todd’s healing journey. This episode continues the exploration of his gut microbiome results, unpacking the link between psoriasis and leaky gut, high-histamine foods, and how even healthy favorites like avocados and fermented veggies can sometimes fuel inflammation. Justyna breaks down the low-histamine diet, the science of histamine receptors, and why gut repair takes time, tweaks, and total honesty. Together, they reflect on family health patterns, the cost of "comfort," and how we’ve normalized symptoms that are actually cries for help. With humor, humility, and heart, this episode invites us to pause, tune in, and recognize our symptoms as sacred signals. It wraps with an unexpected and heartfelt reflection on the London Marathon, celebrating the perseverance of healing through the lens of endurance, grit, and emotional victories.
