Join me LIVE this Sunday while I do my weekly low-nickel meal prep right alongside you. Bring your cutting board, bring your questions, and let's batch-cook a week of safe, gut-friendly food together. This is a relaxed cook-along and open Q&A, so come ask me anything about systemic nickel allergy (SNAS) and the low nickel diet while we work.

ON THE MENU (cooking along from The Low Nickel Diet Cookbook and Guide):

Collagen-rich broth (Cookbook p. 168) — supports the small intestine, where nickel is absorbed and where your glutamine tight junctions live
A low-nickel green (Cookbook p. 216)
Slow cooker pork butt (Cookbook p. 96) — set it and forget it
A potato salad (not in the cookbook, I'll walk you through it live)
White rice

Why the potatoes and white rice? Cooked and then cooled, both build resistant starch, which feeds the butyrate-producing bacteria in your gut. Butyrate is mast cell stabilizing, so this is a simple gut-health move that fits right into a low-nickel week.

Drop your questions in the chat as we go and I'll answer them live.
Want the recipes and to follow along? The Low Nickel Diet Cookbook and Guide is a free PDF for paying members, and there's a 7-day free trial at https://the-low-nickel-diet.circle.so/checkout/low-nickel-restart or you can purchase your copy directly here: https://www.thelownickeldiet.com

Dr. Laura Duzett, DO NTP explains how chronic stress unexpectedly increases nickel absorption. Inflammation raises hepcidin, which initially blocks iron. When iron drops, your body ramps up transporters like DMT1 to compensate. However, DMT1 also absorbs nickel, leading to higher nickel levels from the same foods.

Hydration and diet are key during the day. At 7 PM, my lights shift to warm tones to protect melatonin production. Before bed, a hot bath with dim light, water or tea (or a drink!) triggers my temperature drop trick for optimal sleep. This is educational content only, by Dr. Laura Duzett, DO NTP.

Poor sleep profoundly impacts histamine levels through multiple pathways. It increases TLR4 sensitivity, bacterial waste from the gut (reducing DAO), and free radical stress (damaging HNMT). Furthermore, sleep desynchronizes mast cell clocks, increasing IgE receptors and reactivity. One bad night of sleep can directly lead to a flare. This is educational content only.

Discover the amazing cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway! Your vagus nerve sends signals to your spleen, activating T cells that release acetylcholine. This calms down your immune response, directly turning off the receptor that nickel uses to trigger inflammation. Educational content from Dr. Laura Duzett, DO NTP.

Discover how vagal stimulation, like paced breathing, mirrors the effects of LDN to lower inflammation. Studies show 6 breaths/min measurably reduce CRP and TNF alpha. This isn't 'woo-woo'; it's science-backed wellness. Dr. Laura Duzett, DO NTP. Educational content. Low & high nickel food lists: https://the-low-nickel-diet.kit.com/foodlists

Dr. Laura Duzett, DO NTP shares a surprising sleep hack: glycine! Research shows 3g before bed improves sleep onset, increases deep sleep, and reduces next-day fatigue. If your homemade broth sets like jelly, it's rich in glycine. Can't get that consistency? Add glycine powder or cook longer. Remember, this is educational content only.
