Real people. Real results.

"When I started the program I was a mess really! I had constipation and diarrhoea, was confused about what to eat, had bloating, reflux, brain fog, and unable to eat many foods. I was not sure what step to take next, and in pain. Now I feel more confident, I look like my old self. I feel pretty again! I have much less bloating and digestive issues. I have lost weight, improved mood, mental clarity, confidence, understanding the need for healthy food, lowered inflammation, no pain and the MAP program was so helpful.

This program is 10/10. I would describe it as I got my life back. In fact, it's the best I have ever felt. Mentally, physically and spiritually I feel good. I highly recommend getting help with the Happy Without Histamine Method."

"After reading an article on PMS and histamine I knew that I was a candidate for HIT. I needed an eating plan, supplements, and gut health assessment as was given incorrect treatment previously. Was having histamine attacks mainly at night and awful PMS. I was also was having foods before this that were high in histamine coupled with stress.

After working with Luanne for a few months I have less bloating, less reflux, more energy, less pain during periods, and less anxiety (fewer histamine attacks). I also had better energy levels, eating a more balanced and yummy diet for gut health, weight loss, and knowledge of managing my histamine levels.

Working with Luanne was life-changing, it was the piece that was missing in my continuing healing journey. Luanne is an expert on histamine intolerance. It is an investment in your health and definitely worth it!"

"Before I started the program I was unsure how to tweak, refine and diversify my low histamine diet to reduce migraine and headache symptoms. When I completed the program I had reduced the severity of migraines/headaches, and more confidence to eat a variety of foods. More aware of the potential of brain training to improve my health. I found the group sessions insightful, reassuring and informative. If I had not started when I did I would still be stuck on a very limited and restricted diet. The information was easy to follow and I met my goals for the program. I give it a 10/10! The course emphasises a natural, holistic approach to health and wellness while targeting specific and personalised issues."

"Before I started the Happy Without Histamine Method I was struggling with bloating, constipation, reflux, unable to sleep, joint pain, brain fog, skin rashes, anxiety and confused about what to eat. I wasn't sure what step to take to get help with my problems. I knew I had a histamine problem which no health professional had really understood. I was also depressed as I didn't know what to do to resolve these problems.

Now after completing the program my overall health has improved with no reflux, no constipation, and less joint pain and my rashes have almost gone. I don't get bloated at all. I am more confident and have more energy. Inflammation has reduced a lot. The brain fog and mental clarity has improved too. If I had not joined the program I would still be very unhealthy and struggling to resolve my overall health issues. This program is 10/10, and very easy to follow. Luanne is totally supportive and helps everyone as an individual to get the best results."

"Before I started the Happy Without Histamine Method I was confused about what to eat, bloated, unable to eat many foods, experiencing frequent mood issues (PMDD), multiple body rashes, rosacea, chronic pain (costochondritis and ankylosing spondylitis). Tendency to comfort eat and snack between meals. Breast tenderness and heavy periods.

Just a few months later I now have less bloating, am able to eat a wider range of foods, have much more energy, and much milder and less frequent bouts of low mood. The rashes have gone. My period is also lighter and less painful. No breast tenderness. 97% of the time I eat three meals a day with no snacking. I no longer comfort eat. I drink lots of water daily and I am organised with food preparation. I feel calmer a lot of the time. I am also more confident and taking big steps towards starting my own business, which I didn't feel able to do before. If I had not started this program I wouldn't have taken those steps towards my business. I wouldn't have much hope for the future. My mood would not have improved. I might be in more pain. I am now taking steps towards making my dreams come true as I believe it is possible to create a new life and a new future. This program is life-changing! 10/10! Now I can see a future ahead for myself. Luanne really wants every single person in her program to succeed. She is very knowledgeable and very generous with her knowledge."

"Before I started the Happy Without Histamine Method I was moderately acquainted with the low histamine diet but continued to have bloating, belching, acid reflux, and vomiting at the least variance from eating totally low histamine. I was anxious all the time but didn't know it. I rarely slept through the night and had difficulty going back to sleep. I had mistakenly spent the last 15 years thinking that I had celiac disease. I was often constipated.

After just a few months I have less bloating, a lot less reflux, minimal vomiting, great sleep, great energy, and much less anxiety (particularly social anxiety). Empowered thanks to MAP Rapid Rewire sessions and brain retraining. I also now have lots of confidence in social settings, the empowerment that comes with understanding the connection between the brain and the gut, and the ability to recognise when I am anxious and use learnt tools to minimise the anxiety.

Participating in the HWH program has been life-changing! I spent over 18 months trying to control my symptoms from histamine intolerance with diet alone with lackluster results. Within 2 months in the HWH program, I was empowered with the knowledge and tools necessary to address the root cause of my problem. This program is clear and easy to follow. I give it a 10/10!"

"Before: Chronic constipation, the variety of foods was dwindling fast. I had no idea how to get out of the hole I was in, my health was failing fast.

After: I am far from constipated now. Mental clarity is much improved, weight loss is a benefit, and lowered inflammation is wonderful. I had used naturopaths in the past to help with my health but this course focuses on the mental health issues that cause most gut health issues and addresses these to allow you to heal all over. If I hadn't started HWH, I would be on a very steep downhill slip to much more serious health issues."

Debra Wilson

The Happy Without Histamine Method

"I was reacting to many high histamine foods with gut pain, acne, urticaria, perianal itching/burning, poor sleep patterns, irritability, constipation.

I am experiencing great energy, less abdominal pain, no urticaria, no perianal itching, better sleep patterns, more knowledgeable about high histamine foods. Also I found other benefits using MAP and other brain retraining — the brain retraining has lessened my stress loads. If I hadn't started I would be visiting my GP more often trying to determine what my physical reactions to foods were. This course is 10/10, the content is very clear and I reached all my goals. This course offers insights about high histamine foods and how they interact with individuals who are susceptible to food intolerances. The brain retraining component for me had the greatest impact on how to manage this."

"I came to BrainFood with mast cell activation and histamine intolerance, restrictive and fearful, having overwhelmed myself with too much information and feeling stuck and quite miserable. Now I'm more confident around food, my silent reflux has improved a lot, the itching and stomach pain are gone, the runny nose while eating has stopped, and I have much more energy. The brain loop recognition and brain vacations helped other areas of my life too, and helped me step out of isolation. It was the building blocks for me to heal my mind and my gut."

"If you are in this group and haven't bought her ebooks yet, do it now. I am sorry I waited to buy them. I had other ebooks, meal plans or recipes, but Luanne's recipes are good enough to feed to everyone in the family, great flavor, good variety, well organized. I wish I had them when I started this journey in December! Thanks Luanne Hopkinson!!!!!!!! Finally a meal plan from someone who knows how to cook!"

Katie Anderson

"Thanks so much for compiling this book. I literally teared up when I realized I could eat everything (except eggs). It's been difficult finding inspiration when you feel like all your previous favourite foods are off limits…Especially when you love food as much as I do!"

Andrea Luedtke

"Before I started the Happy Without Histamine 4-week meal plans I was coming off a serious viral infection and had a massive flare up of histamine issues like rashes and hives. The low histamine diet helped tremendously. Afterward, I had less itching and better energy. I also lost weight. I found the Happy Without Histamine meal plans helpful."

Angela Slemok

4-week meal plan

"Before I started I was constipated, with pain in my abdomen, headaches, unable to eat many foods. After completing the program my constipation was a lot better. Less pain, less reflux, less itching. Lowered inflammation. The program and recipes really helped and encouraged me to try different foods and learn what I could make to eat. Also the tips on storing food and leftovers. It helps to lower your histamines."

Hilda Gawryluk

"When I started, my mindset was more worried, upset, and I felt isolated. I had much more frequent symptoms that kept rotating from one to another. Now I am feeling less symptomatic overall, and have had periods where I feel calmer and relaxed. I loved watching the recorded group sessions and Luanne's short monthly recordings that highlight a specific challenge and learning somatic tools. Being part of a community was amazing. And now I can make so many connections between my symptoms and nervous system dysregulation, and how important that awareness is. I believe the only way to truly heal is to use the tools taught here, and they are tools that will benefit us for the rest of our lives."

Jackie McGuire

"When I started BrainFood I had lots of neurological symptoms, numbness, weakness, pain and palpitations, with CIRS and no other official diagnosis. In just a few months I've had less pain and more energy. What I liked most was the brain vacations and the meditation."

Joseph Lorenz

"Before I started I was terribly confused about what to eat and unable to eat many foods. I was bloated and experiencing reflux (I have for 25 years), fatigue, headache, and fluctuating brain fog. After using the program I am feeling way more confident and definitely have had a reduction in my bloating and reflux. I would say there's been an added improvement in mental clarity. I have really enjoyed eating healthy food. I feel inflammation has also lowered. The Happy Without Histamine 4-week meal plan is a godsend. It gave me direction when I was totally overwhelmed and confused. It gave me a joy of food again and reduced my feeling of loss of all the things I enjoy. It gave me an understanding of how to move forward. I never felt hungry and it was easy to manage around feeding our family of six. It was the BEST investment in my healing journey. I may have quit if I hadn't found the recipe book."

Dee Dickson

4-week meal plan

"I had broken out in horrible, red, itchy hives from head to toe. I also think I had some brain fog. I didn't know a thing about histamine intolerance. I started the program three days after breaking out in the hives and it took another four days for the hives to completely clear. Thank goodness. Now no more outbreaks. Now I'm cooking low histamine recipes for myself and it's working well. I'm gradually introducing other foods to test them out. My brain fog has cleared too. The meal plan is delicious and very informative! The histamine intolerance information provided is invaluable."

Margaret Morgan

4-week meal plan

"Before I started the HWH 4-week meal plan I was unable to eat many foods, in daily pain and inflammation, constipation/diarrhoea, skin problems. My skin has cleared up, I have reduced pain and a better understanding of what foods I can eat and a plan to continue on my individual journey to gut mind health. I really enjoyed experimenting, buying, cooking and preparing meals again."

Jazmyn White

4-week meal plan

"When I started I had a basic awareness of histamine intolerance and I had many symptoms - IBS-mixed, hives, inflammation, and joint pain. However, I needed help figuring out what to eat and needed some recipe ideas. By the time I finished the program I had less pain and itching and digestive issues. I also had improved skin and some weight loss. The meal plan is great for providing awareness of what high histamine is, its impacts, and how to help address it. A great tip that helps me explain to others is the idea of the 'histamine bucket'."

Paula

4-week meal plan

"I had bloating and constant reflux no matter what I ate as well as skin eruptions, pimples, and rashes. After I completed the Happy Without Histamine 4-week meal plan program I had a clearer mind and better ability to focus, no reflux, no itching or skin eruptions, and less congestion."

Debbie Grose

"Before I started the program I was unable to eat many foods, and I had rashes, itching, low mood, some anxiety, sinus/ear issues, body aches, fatigue, and tinnitus. Soon after starting, I noticed some remission of my symptoms. I found the Happy Without Histamine 4-week program well thought out and easy to follow."

Kas

"Before starting the Happy Without Histamine 4-week meal plan I had heart palpitations, extreme PMS, headaches, and poor sleep. I am already sleeping better after using it for only a few days! I already feel calmer and have less anxiety. It is an easy-to-follow plan to reset the body!"

Rachel

"Before starting the program I was confused about symptoms and what to eat. After completing it my skin improved, I had less bloating, and more confidence. It's a great way to detox your body and begin to understand what foods you can eat and which to avoid."

Julianne McKie

4-week meal plan

"When I started I was constipated, had an increased heartbeat, and itching. When I finished I felt much better, but still feel an increase of heart beat sometimes. I also have better skin and a better mood. The plan was excellent, I have read a lot but sticking to Luanne's info from now on."

Carina Gulsby

"I had severe Allergic Rhinitis and some digestive complaints before I started the Happy Without Histamine meal plans. Now I have less symptoms and I am not as reactive and feel less inflamed. I am very satisfied and found it mostly easy to follow, would recommend."

Lisa Aldridge

"Before I started the Happy Without Histamine meal plan I had weekly flare-ups, and I was eating the same meals almost every day. After completing the program I had less frequent symptoms and added new recipes to my repertoire. Great baked good recipes!"

Brenda

"Before I started the meal plan I had bloating and headaches and wasn't sure what step to take next. After 1 month on the plan I had less bloating, lost weight and found new recipes. It is so easy to follow and shows you how to prepare your own meals."

Shona

4-week meal plan

"Before I started I had a huge fear of foods. Digestion and food issues controlled my thoughts, I was scared of symptoms, skin and inflammation flare ups. Unsure what I could and couldn't eat to recover from sibo and new to MCAS, I was not sure what to do. Now I am more confident and much more relaxed about food. I have less rashes and laryngitis, less reactions comparatively. Getting back an enjoyment in food! I am aware of brain patterns in general and it's role in my condition. If I hadn't joined the Happy Without Histamine Method I would still struggling with the diet, symptoms and where and what I could do. I would not know that stress and the brain play a big part in mcas. The MAP sessions are really helpful. Communication was great with Luanne, If I had not got help I would still working out histamine issues and probably same or worse! 10/10 – The Happy Without Histamine Method is easy to use, extremely helpful, safe, and informative."

"The main issues I had were insomnia, avoiding many foods, and confusion about what to eat and how to approach the causes of histamine intolerance vs managing symptoms. I was also confused to some degree about what was the underlying cause. I had tried treatment previously, told I would have to eat low histamine forever, and been getting worse for 12 months, so I would have probably kept getting worse if I had not started working with Luanne.

Now I don't have insomnia, I can drink wine and eat high histamine foods again. I only avoid a very small list of foods and these are mostly for health reasons, not histamine, I have a good undertaking of histamine insolence, the causes, and treatments, and see the clear relationship between the nervous system and histamine intolerance. I also generally have a healthier relationship with food, I am re-discovering a love of cooking and improved my general health and wellbeing as well.

If you have histamine intolerance (or suspect you might) take a look at the happy without histamine method it is very holistic, effective, clear, has plenty of resources and Luanne is very knowledgeable / kind / professional."

"Before I started the happy without histamine method I had constant burping after eating, reflux, bloating and I was very anxious around eating. After finishing I no longer have bloating, hardly any reflux, less burping and can eat most foods without symptoms. Also my mental state improved with the brain retraining and I have new tools to manage stress and health setbacks. I met all the goals I had when I started and them some. If I hadn't started the program I would still be trying things that didn't work. I am just so glad I did the program!

The program gave me the tools and knowledge to improved my mental attitude around healing as well as improving my gut health and symptoms. With Luanne's guidance and knowledge of food and the right supplements, I am confident now in managing my gut health. All of my symptoms have decreased and I can now enjoy a lot more variety of food."

"When I started the Happy Without Histamine Method my symptoms were bad and affected my daily life. I now have a clearer mindset on what to do to get back on track. When I finished I had way less itchy and rashy skin, and lots less reflux. Communication with Luanne was great and the client portal was easy to use to access my treatment plan and modules. The protocols were easy for me to implement. If I hadn't started I would be still suffering the same symptoms now. It definitely takes some work and meal planning, but so worth it for the relief of symptoms."

"When I started the HWH Method I was constipated, and avoiding lots of foods. I felt toxic all over, headaches, brain fog, lacking energy, bloated, not sure which foods I should be eating and which I should be eating more of. Frustrated and unsure as to how to proceed. By the time I finished I had much less toxic feeling in the body, brain clearer, more energy and less inflammation. Less headaches, bloating and brain fog. More energy! Better idea of foods that I should and shouldn't be eating. If I hadn't got help with Luanne I would still be avoiding too many foods and not sure what to do, and trying to work out what was causing toxic and inflamed feeling in my body. It's worthwhile to work with a professional like Luanne to work out best way to proceed in improving symptoms. This program is 10/10!"

P.D.

The Happy Without Histamine Method

"Before I started working with Luanne I was struggling with eating the same thing each week and had bloating, some constipation, muscle and joint pain, itchy skin, and headaches. After a few months I had new recipes and meals to make to give me more variety. My headaches and itchy skin were much less frequent and I had less bloating and pain. I felt like I could actually heal from this histamine intolerance. I also had new strategies I could use to calm my mind and body and help my body heal. I found this program empowering and the support and strategies Luanne gave me have been invaluable! I am so glad I decided to work with Luanne."

"Before starting the program I had chronic constipation, reflux, pretty bad migraines and headaches, and the list of foods I could tolerate was very short. I was anxious and on edge, my body ached everywhere, had trouble digesting meals, the occasional seizure-like attack, and generally felt unsafe in my own body. I was also having frequent reactions to food and environmental triggers, like palpitations, vomiting, and even anaphylaxis. Going out could make me sick for a whole day and as if I got a cold just for being exposed to a cool breeze. This is a summarized list of all the things I was experiencing before starting the HWH Method. I didn't know how my condition could improve, I was overwhelmed.

After I completed the program All of my symptoms improved drastically, and some, like being in a constant state of anxiety, even faded away. My digestive system is starting to work as it should. The reflux got better. I am more resilient, and my MCAS triggers don't affect me nearly as much as they did in the past. Reactions like vomiting became rare, and the pain I experience nowadays, although still present, is more localized instead of widespread. I'm able to introduce new ingredients without having panic attacks. Sometimes I get a little nervous when I'm trying new foods because overcoming triggers is a process, but I'm not terrified of it like I used to be. I have more physical energy, and I can even walk long distances without having to 'pay' for it afterward. I don't need my face mask as much when I'm outside.

My skin is glowing these days, and my natural skin color came back (it used to look sickly and be quite dry). The outbreaks are getting better as well.

I enjoy the act of eating much more. I am definitely more confident and not driven by fear. My hair loss improved, too. I don't depend on laxatives to use the toilet anymore. My periods are gradually becoming more manageable.

I joined the program hoping it could help me feel better and restructure my low histamine diet but honestly didn't know how it was gonna work. It exceeded my expectations, by a lot. I went from feeling awful in every way to building up tolerance and strength in a matter of a few months. This method really has everything one needs to begin to truly heal. I am more knowledgeable about my condition and at the same time no longer focus on the negative or scary aspects of it. I feel much safer in my body; and even though I still have important steps to revert everything ahead of me, it's given me the confidence that being healthy is achievable for me, not a distant dream or a fantasy. Truly, 10/10."
