Summary

Allergies are more than just springtime sniffles—and they’re affecting more people than ever. In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn sits down with pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin, author of All About Allergies, to break down what’s really going on in your immune system and what actually helps. You’ll learn why hay fever is getting worse (and why climate change plays a role), the “3 pillars” approach to treating allergic rhinitis, when allergy shots make sense, and why blanket food allergy testing can do more harm than good. Plus, Dr. Rubin unpacks surprising—and very real—conditions like alpha-gal syndrome (a tick bite that can trigger a red meat allergy), aquagenic urticaria (hives from water), and why so many people mistakenly think they’re allergic to penicillin. Practical, evidence-based, and packed with takeaways you can use right away—especially if allergies are disrupting your life or your family’s. 🔗 Links and Resources: Dr. Rubin’s All About Allergies book: https://amzn.to/4jygDjO Our Sponsors: ➡️ Check out BON CHARGE's Red Light Mask to support collagen production and improve your skin!
