What if some of the symptoms you’re experiencing during perimenopause aren’t just about your hormone levels, but also how your immune system is responding to those changes?

One of the presentations I particularly appreciated at this year’s ILADS conference was Dr. Tania Dempsey’s discussion of the relationship between hormones and mast cells. I had the opportunity to speak with her afterward about some of the clinical connections I was making, which made the session even more valuable.

Mast cells are an essential part of our immune system. They help protect us from threats and coordinate inflammatory responses. But when they’re activated inappropriately, they can contribute to symptoms affecting multiple areas of the body.

What I found particularly interesting was the discussion around how mast cells respond to change. Hormonal fluctuations can influence their activity, but so can infection, inflammation, and environmental factors. Where those mast cells are located also influences how their activation may manifest.

This becomes especially relevant during perimenopause. Estrogen doesn’t simply decline in a predictable, steady fashion. It can fluctuate dramatically, and those shifts may influence mast-cell activity in susceptible women. It’s one possible explanation for why some women notice changes in flushing, headaches, digestive symptoms, or other forms of reactivity during this stage of life.

It also reinforces an important clinical distinction: symptoms that look similar don’t necessarily have the same underlying cause. A typical menopausal hot flash and mast-cell-related flushing may feel alike, but understanding the timing, associated symptoms, and potential triggers can help guide a more meaningful evaluation.

Of course, not every woman experiencing these symptoms has mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and not every symptom is driven by hormones. The point is to recognize that these systems interact, rather than evaluating each one in isolation.

This is one of the reasons I place so much value on a thorough clinical history and understanding how symptoms develop and change over time. Laboratory results provide important information, but they are only one part of the picture.

Sometimes it’s not just about where your hormone levels are. It’s about how your body is responding to the changes.

MYTH-BUSTING MONDAY! Let's Talk Thyroid Health

MYTH: If your thyroid levels are normal, your symptoms must be all in your head.

FACT: Normal thyroid results don't mean your symptoms should be dismissed.

Fatigue, brain fog, hair thinning, and unexplained weight changes can be associated with thyroid dysfunction, but they can also have other underlying causes.

While normal thyroid testing makes common thyroid disorders less likely, it doesn't explain every symptom.

At Hygenerate, we believe in looking at the bigger picture—considering your symptoms, medical history, and clinical findings to guide individualized care.

Because normal lab results don't mean your concerns should go unanswered.

“Could it be my thyroid?”

Maybe. But the more important question is whether your thyroid is actually contributing to what you're experiencing.

Fatigue, unexplained weight changes, hair thinning, temperature intolerance, and brain fog can all occur with thyroid dysfunction. The challenge is that these same symptoms can also appear with perimenopause, nutritional deficiencies, sleep disturbances, metabolic dysfunction, and other conditions.

And sometimes, more than one issue is contributing.

That's why the details matter.

When did your symptoms begin? Have they changed over time? Are several symptoms occurring together? What has already been evaluated, and what might still need attention?

At Hygenerate, those questions help guide our evaluation. We consider your history, symptoms, examination, and appropriate laboratory testing to better understand what may be contributing rather than assuming the thyroid is—or isn't—the explanation.

Sometimes thyroid dysfunction is part of the picture. Sometimes the findings point us in another direction.

Either way, the goal is to understand what's happening so we can make thoughtful decisions about your care.
Your symptoms are clues. Not conclusions.

One of the highlights of my time at ILADS this year was having the opportunity to meet and speak with Dr. Tania Dempsey, whose work in mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) I have followed and appreciated.

Her presentation on the connections between mast cells, hormones, and immune reactivity was particularly relevant to the work I do at Hygenerate. What made the experience even more meaningful was having the chance to speak with her afterward, ask some specific questions about connections I was making clinically, and get clarification on several of her recommendations.

There is something incredibly valuable about being able to have those conversations directly with someone whose work has contributed so much to our understanding of these complex conditions.

Grateful for her willingness to share her knowledge and take the time to talk with me. Such a meaningful part of this year’s conference!

Day 3 at the ILADS Scientific Conference!

Today’s agenda is packed with discussions that get to the heart of why complex, chronic illness requires us to look beyond any one symptom, diagnosis, or body system.

This morning’s sessions focus on diagnostics, emerging research, dysautonomia, and the ways tick-borne infections can influence immune and inflammatory responses. This afternoon, I’m especially looking forward to diving into the connections between mast cell activation, hormones, the microbiome, and why some patients are particularly reactive to treatment.

These are the kinds of clinical connections that matter when patients have symptoms involving multiple systems that don’t always fit neatly into one diagnosis.

Three days in, and I’m bringing home plenty of new questions, research to explore, and perspectives to consider in patient care.

10/23/2026

Day two of the ILADS Scientific Conference, and I’m not sure how I’m supposed to choose between all these incredible sessions!

Thankfully, all of the presentations are recorded, and we receive access to the slides and continuing education credits, so I’ll be able to go back and work through the sessions I couldn’t attend in person.

Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me exactly why I love what I do. I cannot tell you how many times I found myself thinking about specific patients as I listened to different presentations. Certain symptoms, clinical histories, and pieces of their overall picture kept coming to mind, along with new questions to consider and potential avenues worth exploring.

And the learning didn’t stop when the presentations ended. I spent time in the exhibit hall speaking with people from different companies, laboratories, and clinical services. Those conversations were incredibly valuable. I learned about testing and resources I hadn’t previously explored, including more advanced genomic testing that may help us better understand individual biological pathways and identify more targeted interventions.

That is one of the things I find most exciting about precision medicine. Rather than simply asking what we can do about a symptom, we can continue investigating why that symptom may be occurring, what mechanisms might be contributing, and which interventions make the most sense for that individual.

Of course, no single test gives us every answer. But when we combine emerging research, thoughtful diagnostics, a patient’s history, and the broader clinical picture, we have more opportunities to make informed, individualized decisions.

There is so much to take in, and I already have a growing list of things I want to revisit, research further, and bring back to my work at Hygenerate.

And we’re only getting started with day two!

Five years old today.

And somehow, today is also the day I leave for the ILADS conference.

The irony of that timing is certainly not lost on me.

This little girl has taught me more over the last year than I ever wanted to learn as her mom.

Last September, we pulled more than 20 tiny nymph ticks from behind her ears. By January, we were trying to make sense of positive testing for multiple tick-borne infections and other findings, and suddenly so much of what I had been studying professionally became very, very personal.

She is still in treatment.

She is still our funny, smart, stubborn, incredibly loved little girl.

And today she is FIVE.

There is definitely a part of me that hates leaving on her birthday. If I could have selected the conference dates myself, this would obviously not have been my choice.

But there is also something strangely full-circle about kissing her goodbye today and heading to spend the next several days learning from some of the same people and the same professional community that helped me when I was trying to figure out how to take care of her.

So we will celebrate this girl BIG before I leave.

And then Mama is going to go learn everything she can.

Happy 5th birthday, Norah. ❤️

MYTH-BUSTING MONDAY! Let's Talk Weight Management

We've all heard it: "Just eat less and move more."

But the truth is, weight management is more complex than calories alone.

Genetics, hormonal changes, sleep, stress, medications, and underlying medical conditions can all influence how our bodies regulate weight.

At Hygenerate, we recognize that sustainable weight management isn't about a one-size-fits-all approach. It's about understanding the individual, identifying contributing factors, and developing a personalized, evidence-informed plan.

Because weight management isn't simply about willpower. It's about understanding the bigger picture.
