Dr. Tania Dempsey, MD: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, PMOS, and the Hidden Cause of Women's Chronic Symptoms

<p>Most women who deal with unexplained allergies, stubborn inflammation, heavy periods or a PMOS (formerly PCOS) diagnosis are never told to look at the same underlying cause: an immune cell most doctors were never taught to test for.</p><p>Dr. Tania Dempsey, MD, trained in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins before leaving conventional practice to focus on mast cell activation syndrome, a condition she believes explains far more chronic illness in women than most doctors realize. She&#39;s the founder of The AIM Center for Personalized Medicine and helped found the International Society for Mast Cell Activation Syndromes, where she now serves as treasurer.</p><p>This isn&#39;t some rare, fringe diagnosis. Dr. Dempsey estimates it may affect as many as one in five people, and in women it hides behind a long list of other labels, PMOS, endometriosis, hypermobility, unexplained heavy periods, that rarely get connected back to the same root.</p><p>Optimize your sleep with the Eight Sleep Pod.</p><p>Get up to <strong>$350 off</strong> at <a href="https://www.eightsleep.com/Kayla"><u>https://www.eightsleep.com/Kayla</u></a> with code “<strong>KAYLA</strong>”.</p><p>Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women’s health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan.
