People all across the world struggle with some form of exhaustion, have inscrutable, enduring symptoms, and are unable to identify a cause. Usually, doctors are at a loss for answers, putting one’s quality of life at risk. To our surprise, diagnosing certain health concerns accurately might take years on end. That’s a long time of misunderstandings, misinterpretation, and absence of proper treatment. It’s no wonder that many people are frustrated and experience extreme anxiety and early signs of depression. For those reading this and wondering exactly where we are headed, it is none other than chronic illnesses.
Chronic illnesses are some of the hardest cases to crack. Fortunately, there are enthusiastic healthcare professionals who devote their careers to advancing research in this area. One of these discoveries is the effect mast cells have on health and the dire outcomes that might happen if they aren’t working properly. What are mast cells and why are they critical for our wellbeing? One possible way to get hold of this wealth of knowledge free of bias, and misinformation is by listening in on The Mastering Mast Cell Activation Summit.
What is the Mastering Mast Cell Activation Summit?
The Mastering Mast Cell Activation is an online summit aimed at educating the masses on the concept of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Mast cells are immune cells that are from the myeloid lineage [1]. These particular cells form the first line of defense when it comes to fighting antigens entering the body. Alas, many people do not realize that at times, mast cells might become dormant, consequently giving rise to MCAS, a health condition linked to a wide range of symptoms such as constant hives, swelling, and low blood pressure to list a few. Naturally, this virtual summit has been put together to not only raise awareness of the symptoms of MCAS but also viable treatments that guarantee mast cell activation.
The organizers have invited approximately forty specialists, and counting, to share their professional and personal experiences to guarantee that attendees have a basic awareness of the health topic under question. The two co-hosts, Kelly McCann, MD, and Beth O’Hara, FN, will guide each session, pose thought-provoking questions, and start the discussion on mast cell activation. Their goal is to make sure that listeners are informed about the most recent developments and can choose the course of treatment that is least restrictive for their needs. In light of everything discussed so far, it is imperative to have a sense of what the main topics of discussions will be, but before that, here are a few words from the hosts:
“Beth and I are always learning new things about MCAS, as are all of the experts with whom we will be talking […] We’ll be deeply exploring the importance of mast cell activation and how they are involved in a wide range of symptoms and other conditions as well as the best approaches to healing and reversing it. The information and education you receive is vital to understanding your overall health and also to spreading the word about MCAS to others.”
What topics will be covered during the Mastering Mast Cell Activation Summit?
Usually, the main topics covered on each day of the summit are broken down in an agenda, but this time, the speakers and their chosen topics have been made public by the organizers. The following provides a detailed overview of the insights that each speaker is seeking to share to enhance comprehension of the impact of mast cells on general health:
Beth O’Hara
Beth O’Hara is a proclaimed expert specializing in genetics, naturopath, and emotional wellness. She believes in looking at the big picture when it comes to mast cell activation and well-being. During her segment, she will uncover the driving force behind MCAS that is making it a global issue. Individuals can expect to learn how to reverse hypersensitivities and what the three foundational steps to healing are. Throughout this summit, Beth will take the stage repeatedly.
For instance, she plans to discuss the reason why healing protocols fail most people. Once she identifies and reveals the setbacks, she will proceed to reveal the main MCAS treatment plan that supposedly guarantees a 95% success rate (hint: personalized solutions are key). The next topic she intends to do a deep dive into is mold toxicity and the colonization effect on MCAS. From there, she will touch upon specific intolerances, the number one mistake people make when it comes to alleviating MCAS symptoms, and actionable steps to calm MCAS.

Final Verdict
In conclusion, the Mastering Mast Cell Activation Summit aims to educate people on everything there is to know about mast cells. Unfortunately, the latter is not a widely known concept, hence, many people are likely to neglect this specific cause of illnesses. As it turns out, when these cells are dormant, the risk of being diagnosed with an onset of chronic illnesses will rise. The latter makes this summit more important now than ever before. From the looks of it, the organizers have graciously rounded up over 40 leading experts from various fields who have dealt with some form of chronic illness, whether personally or through patients.
Naturally, each speaker will provide in-depth insight on a topic of their choice, which of course, relates to MCAS in some way. Although the registration for the free summit is closed, individuals can still purchase lifetime access to a series of resources, including contents from the Mastering Mast Cell Activation Summit, bonus guides, and access to other expert talks to list a few. In our opinion, a one-time fee of $79 is justifiable seeing how individuals will be equipped with a wealth of fact-checked knowledge that other sources fail to provide.
The major selling point for our editorial team is the fact that the experts are not only providing support to patients but also caregivers, family members, friends, and even health experts unfamiliar with alternative medicine.
