In this episode of Mind Body Connection, host Dr. Kelly Davis sits down with Dr. Joe Mather, a functional medicine physician, to explore Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)—a complex, often misdiagnosed condition that can lead to widespread inflammation, chronic pain, and immune dysfunction.
 
Dr. Mather breaks down:
 What MCAS is and why it’s commonly overlooked
 The key symptoms and how it mimics other conditions
 Functional medicine strategies for identifying and managing MCAS
 The gut-brain-immune connection in chronic illness
 Exercise implications for individuals with MCAS
 Pharmaceutical management—what works, what doesn’t
 The importance of clearing toxins from the body for long-term healing
 Mind-body techniques for reducing inflammation and restoring balance
 
Whether you’re a clinician looking for a deeper understanding of MCAS, or a patient searching for real answers, this episode will provide practical insights and actionable strategies for healing.
