Hello, I'm Luanne.
Your low histamine nutritionist.

My story

From burnt out and bed-bound
to genuinely well

I suffered for decades from irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn, eczema, anxiety, food intolerances, and hormone issues. I tried almost everything. Developing MCAS, ME/CFS, and fibromyalgia, along with mould and heavy metal issues, showed me how important it is to get the right help, and drove me to help others so they do not have to suffer as long as I did.

I have always been interested in health and science. After university I moved into the world of Information Technology, working in London and Sydney. I was living at full speed, and eventually crashed completely. I developed ME/CFS, could no longer get out of bed, and had to leave my career.

I recovered some energy and trained as a nutritionist and health coach. Then I started a Masters in Human Nutrition and burnt out again. ME/CFS was joined by fibromyalgia, chronic pain, SIBO, gut dysbiosis, dysautonomia, and mast cell activation syndrome. I could not tolerate the supplements I would normally use. Conventional medicine had nothing left to offer me.

This is when I found neuroscience. Using neuroplasticity techniques, meditation, and MAP Rapid Rewire processes, I was able to allow my body to recover. My energy returned, the pain disappeared, and my hair grew back. My immune system settled, and I started to be able to tolerate foods and supplements again.

Now I work as a functional nutritional medicine practitioner at Olivo Health and Nutrition, and help people with histamine intolerance at Happy Without Histamine. I have a special interest in food sensitivities, gut health, allergies, anxiety, digestive issues, fatigue, and chronic illnesses including ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and MCAS.

I bridge the gap between conventional and holistic medicine by combining a scientific, evidence-based approach with naturopathic traditions. Changes to diet and supplementation, combined with nervous system work, can support your body to genuinely recover, not just manage symptoms.
