Meet Dr. Carrie Jones — the "Queen of Hormones"
What I Do
I'm an integrative, holistic women's health and hormone doctor who believes in your ability to understand your body in a simplified way — so you can have "ah-ha" moments and take control of your health. I see firsthand how the health system fails women, especially when you're told everything is "normal" but you don't feel normal. Plus, I mix the practical with the magic.
What I Say I Do
I'm a modern doc with a holistic bent who appreciates the best of both worlds. I can wear heels and take herbs. I want you to understand how your body functions (or should function) — from the basics to the hard stuff — through courses, podcasts, webinars, and writings.
What I Really Do
I help you feel less hormonally crazy — through real-talk education, sarcasm, funny analogies, social media videos, and some sass. Because hormones can feel like herding cats.
Why Dr. Jones Uses a DAO Enzyme Supplement Daily
DAO (diamine oxidase) is the enzyme your gut uses to break down histamine from food. When your DAO can't keep up, histamine builds — think headaches, flushing, hives, bloating, and symptoms that swing with your hormones. Estrogen and histamine egg each other on, which is why so many women feel it around ovulation, before their period, and in perimenopause.
“I use this research-backed DAO daily, and it is so helpful as part of a histamine plan.”

OmneDiem's Histamine Digest is her go-to DAO enzyme for histamine support.
FAQ
What is a DAO enzyme supplement?
DAO (diamine oxidase) is the enzyme that breaks down histamine from food in your gut. A DAO supplement, taken before meals, supports the breakdown of dietary histamine — helpful for people with histamine intolerance or low DAO activity.
Which DAO supplement does Dr. Carrie Jones recommend?
Dr. Jones uses and recommends OmneDiem's Histamine Digest, a research-backed DAO enzyme she takes daily as part of a histamine plan.

How are histamine and hormones connected?
Estrogen can increase histamine release and slow its breakdown, while histamine can stimulate estrogen — a two-way loop. That's why histamine symptoms often flare around ovulation, before periods, and during perimenopause. Dr. Jones covers this in depth in the podcast episode above.
