Overcoming Chronic Histamine Issues and MCAS Through DNA-Guided Health Optimization

Kali Farnsworth (00:00) So some things that really surprised me about working with Dr. Tyler was the fact that it was a catalyst for a lot of my other healing. So some of the gene mutations that I had helped me get diagnosed with ADHD. I went my whole life without knowing this. Some of them said that I had a slow production of dopamine, I had slow absorption of dopamine, and it started kinda tying those pieces together, and I was able to get that figured out. Hi, my name is Kali Farnsworth. I'm 25 years old, and I live in Chandler, Arizona. And right now I am a software engineer. I'm actually finishing up my last couple years of school. So before I worked with Dr. Tyler, I up - I was always the kid with major stomach issues. I always had anxiety, some, like, mental health Just super sensitive and I never really knew why. I just kinda chalked it up to that's just how I am. So my mother-in-law, actually, was the one who found him on Instagram, and she gave it a try first. And she loved it. She felt amazing. And so she's like, "Look, you're having all these issues. You're not getting any answers. Why don't you give this a shot? Like, it's helped me a lot." So I was like, "Okay, you know what? I'll give it a try, go for The cost was a little bit... a little higher than some of the other conventional methods, but again, I had tried so many of the conventional methods, and my other option was going to be to go to a naturopath, which cost is around the same, so the cost was definitely worth it to me. After working with Dr. Tyler, the main thing that he pointed out for me was that I have horrible histamine He helped me figure out that I have MCAS, which is Mass Cell Activation Syndrome, which is actually really hard to get diagnosed, cause it appears as so many other symptoms that gets misdiagnosed. So that was the main one that I feel finally explained everything, was the histamines. Before I wasn't on too many supplements, but very - very - trying to heal myself with food. I was trying so many different diets. I was trying low FODMAP, carnivore, paleo, all those diets. So it helped me pinpoint what foods were high histamine. Ok, avoid those. And then supplements themselves helped me to kind of relax a little bit around those things where if I wasn't perfect, they would pick up the slack. So some of the things that have totally changed for me was mostly stress. I was kind of always overwhelmed. And again, being able to pinpoint the foods that might have triggered that or the lifestyle things that I did that maybe weren't entirely supportive of my gene mutations and whatnot. I recommend him to anybody that I really talk to that either says they're on some medications for stuff or if they're experiencing any sort of food issues, kinda like I was. It's crazy how well he's able to, like, the way your body functions. Like, he knew stuff about me I didn't even know it was cool that he was like, "So, do you do this?" And I was like, "Yeah, I do!" And he's like, "Okay, cool it's because of this." I feel like I just kind of tell people my experience and how much it's helped me to navigate certain things that I've always struggled with. So this was my first time doing any sort of genetic testing. I didn't really know what to So I was kinda just, like, I was excited. I didn't really know what I was going to hear about myself and my
