For some people, the arrival of warmer weather is bittersweet. There’s so much to love about this time of year. Longer days, more light, flowers opening, time outside, windows thrown open again.
But for a sensitive system, seasonal change can also bring a very real increase in symptoms. Environmental triggers are a big factor for many of my clients, and as the seasons change, so do their needs.
If you experience histamine issues, MCAS, allergies or immune hypersensitivity, you may notice that warmer months bring changes in your skin, digestion, sinuses, breathing, energy, sleep or nervous system.
More pollen in the air. Changes in temperature and humidity. Increased exposure to grasses, moulds, insects and environmental allergens. More time outdoors. Even changes in food, routine and sleep can add to the overall load your body is navigating. Often, it isn’t one single trigger, It’s the accumulation.
A system that was managing well through winter may suddenly be meeting a very different environment, and the support that worked beautifully a few months ago may need to shift too.
This is why I’m always interested in the context around a flare.
What has changed?
What are you being exposed to?
What else is adding to your overall load?
And what might your body need more, or less, of in this particular season?
Our bodies don’t exist separately from the environments we live in. As the world around us changes, sometimes our care needs to change with it too.
So if you love the arrival of spring and summer, but your body finds this time of year a little harder, you’re certainly not alone.
