In today's episode, we interview Dr. Leonhard Weinstock on the topic of mast cell activation disorders and the gut, which are becoming epidemic in the population.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a complex and often misunderstood disorder that involves the abnormal release of mast cells in the body. These cells are an essential part of our immune system, but when they become overactive, they can trigger a range of symptoms and health issues.
