About immunoloco
immunoloco is a project dear to my heart. I want to share knowledge and experiences about living with a "crazy" immune system — MCAS, histamine intolerance, dysautonomia, Samter's triad, IC/BPS, ME/CFS — and explain the medical details, grounded in evidence-based medicine but combined with real-world observations, scientifically contextualized, and, last but not least, drawn from my own experience as a therapist and someone living with this condition.
I'm also lucky to have guest authors from the medical and pharmacological fields, as well as all the wonderful people who point out broken links, flag typos, send me their questions, ideas, and suggestions, or simply leave a comment. Thank you so much! 💚

Personal
Licensed naturopathic practitioner, business graduate with distinction, dog mom to an allergy dog with atopic dermatitis and hypothyroidism (the irony!), passionate DIYer, and mostly a fan of technology — some call me a tech nerd. Data privacy is particularly close to my heart, especially in the age of AI and LLMs.
When my brain fog allows it, I have a thing for medical studies, finding hidden connections, and thinking my way into complex systems. 🤓
I live with multiple autoimmune and mast cell conditions as well as neurological manifestations of my diseases.
Why I share this
I thought long and hard about whether to go public with my conditions. But since they are part of who I am and have shaped both my personality and my work as a practitioner, I can't separate them from myself. Living with these conditions allows me to connect with the people I work with in a way that goes beyond textbook knowledge and I try to draw strength from that.
