IC ROOT CAUSE? Interstitial Cystitis Triggers (Histamine, Mold, Oxalates + More) | AMA

Описание: In this Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode of The Art of Being Well, Dr. Will Cole (functional medicine expert) answers your biggest health questions - covering phytoestrogens + hormone health, interstitial cystitis (IC) root causes, how cooking changes nutrients + fiber, and a timely deep-dive on whether breast cancer screening is being done the best way.

If you’ve been wondering “Are these supplements estrogen mimicking?”, “What’s really behind IC flare-ups?”, or “Are mammograms giving false alarms?” - this episode is for you.

What we cover in this AMA

✅ ESTROGEN MIMIC? Nattokinase (fermented soy) + milk thistle - do they raise estrogen or modulate it?
✅ IC ROOT CAUSE? Interstitial cystitis and why triggers can be multi-factorial (immune + inflammatory drivers, histamine, oxalates, mold/mycotoxins, infections, stress/trauma patterns, and more)
✅ Cooking vs raw foods: how steaming/boiling can affect fiber, soluble vs insoluble fiber, resistant starch, and nutrient bioavailability
✅ A powerful reminder for anyone burned out from a long health journey: how to rebuild joy, hope, and nervous system safety
✅ MAMMOGRAMS WRONG? Breast cancer screening “one-size-fits-all” vs risk-based screening, false positives, genetics, and additional tools (including discussion around circulating tumor cells / CTCs)
