In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, we explore how to LOWER Your Histamine Levels Naturally!. Nurse Doza breaks down common high-histamine triggers, why your symptoms may be tied to gut health, and how to support your body naturally—without relying solely on medication.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Hidden sources of histamine are often found in your everyday diet and environment.
Gut dysfunction is one of the biggest reasons histamine levels stay elevated.
Stress and inflammation can worsen histamine intolerance symptoms.
Antihistamines aren’t the only solution—natural detox pathways play a major role.
Supporting liver and gallbladder function is key to keeping histamine levels in check.
The Good Poops Protocol is a full-body protocol that supports the gut, liver, and gallbladder—three major players in regulating histamine naturally.

Could NAD+ be the key to living longer and healthier? In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down the science behind NAD+, its role in mitochondrial function, and the differences between oral and IV NAD+ supplementation. Discover how NAD+ impacts aging, energy levels, and overall health—and whether IV therapy is truly the most effective way to boost your NAD+ levels.
5 Key Takeaways
NAD+ is essential for cellular energy and longevity. It plays a critical role in mitochondrial function, metabolism, and overall health.
IV NAD+ provides faster and more effective absorption. Studies suggest that IV administration leads to a rapid and complete tissue uptake compared to oral forms.
Oral NAD+ supplements rely on precursors. While supplements like NMN and NR can increase NAD+ levels, they may not be as effective as direct NAD+ infusions.
NAD+ plays a role in addiction recovery. IV NAD+ has been used in protocols for substance withdrawal, potentially reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Resveratrol and other compounds support NAD+ metabolism. Certain antioxidants, like resveratrol, help regulate inflammation and mitochondrial biogenesis.
Featured Product: Mitochondriac
Mitochondriac is designed to fuel your mitochondria, supporting energy production and longevity—key benefits linked to NAD+ optimization. By enhancing cellular health, Mitochondriac complements the insights shared in this episode on how NAD+ impacts overall vitality.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lp(a), or lipoprotein(a), is a genetic marker linked to increased heart disease risk.
Most standard cholesterol panels don’t include Lp(a)—you have to ask for it.
Elevated Lp(a) means your body may genetically produce more harmful cholesterol.
Interpreting Lp(a) alongside blood sugar, inflammation, and liver markers gives better insight.
An expanded heart panel provides the full picture to help personalize prevention strategies.

In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, we go behind the scenes of autoimmunity to explore what’s really triggering your symptoms. From past infections to gut dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, adrenal overload, and genetics—this episode unpacks the root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks.
5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Most autoimmune disorders are connected to previous infections, including viruses and bacteria.
A damaged gut barrier can trigger immune dysregulation—leaky gut is real.
Vitamin D isn’t optional: low levels suppress the immune system’s ability to respond.
Chronic stress and overactive adrenals can drive autoimmune flare-ups.
Genetic variants like MTHFR may increase susceptibility to autoimmune conditions.
