Food allergy prevention is something most families think about once a baby starts eating. But the gut microbiome begins developing before birth, and what happens during pregnancy matters for the development of food allergies. This is a bonus episode from our conversation with Dr. Carina Venter. The clip did not make it into Episode 165, but it was too good not to share. Dr. Payel Gupta and Kortney dig into what Dr. Venter shared about pregnancy, the gut microbiome, and what families can do in that critical first year of life. What we cover in this episode about pregnancy and food allergy prevention How the gut microbiome develops before and after birth. From pregnancy through the first year of life, several key factors shape your baby's gut microbiome, including mode of delivery, breastfeeding, and the introduction of solid foods. What happens if things do not go as planned. A difficult pregnancy, a C-section, or not being able to breastfeed does not mean you have missed your chance to help your baby develop a healthy gut microbiome.  What the research on pregnancy diet actually shows. A look at how maternal diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding may affect a child's risk of allergies. Early introduction and why it matters. Introducing allergenic foods between four and six months of age and keeping them in the diet consistently may reduce the risk of food allergy by ten to thirty percent. What to feed your baby to support a healthy gut. Diversity, whole foods, and sustained exposure to allergens are the key takeaways for families starting solids.

A parasite cleanse gone wrong once left Elizabeth Aylor bleeding seventeen times a day, and it took her thirty years to build the gut healing framework she now teaches thousands of women. The holistic nutritionist, GAPS practitioner, and functional diagnostic nutrition specialist joins me to break down why so many gut protocols make people sicker instead of better.Elizabeth Aylor is a holistic nutritionist, GAPS practitioner, and certified functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner who has worked with over 3,000 women on chronic gut issues. She explains why generic probiotics and greens powders can worsen SIBO and histamine issues, and why she relies on GI-MAP stool testing and full thyroid panels instead of guessing. She describes how biofilms shield parasites, yeast, and bacteria like H. pylori and Klebsiella from treatment, and why aggressive kill protocols without addressing nutrition and the nervous system can cause serious harm. She also covers why elimination diets like carnivore and low FODMAP should not extend past six to eight weeks, why GLP-1 medications often lead to weight regain without strength training and proper nutrition, and how she uses DUTCH testing to address insulin resistance and perimenopausal weight loss resistance.Elizabeth also shares her own thirty-year health history, from childhood eczema and asthma to an eating disorder that dropped her to ninety pounds, and the extreme fruitarian and carnivore diets that nearly destroyed her gut before she built her own ninety-day recovery protocol.If you've ever done everything right and still can't fix your gut or lose the weight, this conversation walks through what most protocols miss, and what actually works instead.Elizabeth talks about:4:00 Childhood Eczema, Asthma, and Anxiety6:00 Eating Disorder and Fruitarian Dieting9:00 150 Colonics, a Parasite Diagnosis10:00 Her Own 90-Day Gut Protocol12:00 Mold Toxicity, Thyroid Misdiagnosis18:00 Why Probiotics and Greens Powders Backfire22:00 A $10K Protocol, Near-Bedridden Bleeding23:00 Interpreting Complex Stool Test Results26:00 Why Elimination Diets Stop Working31:00 Biofilms and Failed Parasite Protocols38:00 DUTCH Testing and Insulin Resistance41:00 Why GLP-1s Don't Fix Metabolism✨ Learn more about how to live a long and pain-free life: https://joykongmd.com/ Additional Resources✨ Follow Elizabeth Aylor on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethaylorfitness/?hl=en ✨ Follow Elizabeth Aylor on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethaylorfitness Visit My Clinic: Chara Health

S-Ketamine is now part of the TCCC pharmacopeia; you'd better understand how to use it. Dennis sits down with Pat — a veteran military anesthetist, former Danish Special Operations medical leader, and decades-long ketamine expert — for a deep dive into S-Ketamine. From its development and real-world use in austere environments (including Afghan war wounded and British Field Hospital MERT ops) to practical dosing, side effect management, and why it outperforms morphine in many trauma scenarios, this conversation delivers battle-tested wisdom for medics, PAs, nurses, and SOF operators.Pat shares hands-on lessons from hospital, military, and austere settings: achieving the "thousand-yard stare," managing emergence phenomena, combining with regional anesthesia, IM/IN/rectal routes, and why ketamine shines for hemodynamically unstable patients, refractory asthma, and more. They also discuss training pitfalls, the value of hands-on experience (including vet collaboration ideas), and cultural differences in patient responses.Key Takeaways:S-Ketamine is roughly twice as potent as racemic ketamine — use ~half the dose, but expect the same onset, duration, and side-effect profile (with potentially milder psych effects at mid-doses).Excellent for analgesia and procedural sedation in austere settings; superior hemodynamic stability compared to opioids in hypovolemic trauma patients.S-Ketamine is now included in the 2026 TCCC updates — critical knowledge for every combat medic and austere provider.Practical tips: titrate slowly IV, watch for nystagmus/thousand-yard stare, prepare for emergence with low-dose midazolam + patience, consider regional blocks to reduce opioid needs.Training emphasis: objective endpoints, patient monitoring, planning for side effects, and real-world experience over rote memorization.Whether you're running a prolonged field care scenario, managing a screaming femur fracture, or preparing for the next deployment, this episode arms you with actionable strategies.Subscribe, share with your team, and visit prolongedfieldcare.org for free resources, downloads, and more.

Nach Gewittern häufen sich Asthma-Anfälle. In Australien ist dieses Phänomen vielfach beobachtet und dokumentiert worden. Wie entsteht dieses Gewitter-Asthma? Und wie groß ist die Gefahr bei uns? Ein Podcast mit Anette Kolb.

Drs. Newhall and Gupta discuss how biologic therapies are transforming care for patients with multiple allergic diseases—such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, nasal polyps, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis—while also making treatment decisions more complex. They explain how they choose among biologics like dupilumab, omalizumab, IL‑5 blockers, and TSLP inhibitors by focusing on biomarkers, age, comorbidities, and which condition most affects the patient's quality of life.

I'm so glad you're here with us today. My guest is someone I know you're going to love — he's not only a brilliant physician but also someone who truly walks the talk when it comes to living a healthy, vibrant, plant-based life. Dr. James Thompson is a retired board-certified internist, allergist, and immunologist who practiced medicine for over 30 years in Chicago before moving to Sacramento to be closer to his grandchildren. About seven years ago, he adopted a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle — and that transformation inspired his brand-new book, FEARLESS: Eight Pillars for Living Longer, Healthier, and Happier. The book is built around eight key pillars — Food, Exercise, Avoiding toxins, Restorative sleep, Lessening stress, Engaging the mind, Social energy, and Spiritual connectivity. It's a practical, compassionate guide for anyone who wants to take charge of their health, no matter where they're starting from. Dr. Thompson is genuinely excited about this opportunity! I'd love to share and discuss my book, published last March, a practical, holistic health guide designed to meet readers wherever they are on their wellness journey. It's built around eight key pillars using the acronym FEARLESS: The book also includes several bonus chapters on topics such as cravings, COVID, GLP-1 agonists, probiotics, supplements, and relationships. It's available on Amazon. Dr. Thompson also serves as Medical Director for Healthy Living With a Vision Foundation, a five-year-old nonprofit organization providing health education and services to underserved communities throughout Chicago and the surrounding area. Over the past five years, we've hosted numerous in-person and virtual health events. Website: https://healthylivingwithavision.org/ Additionally, he is a specialized host for the Plant-Based Support (PBS, but formerly Plant-Based Nutrition Support Group- PBNSG), where I lead a virtual Allergy, Asthma & Immunity Support Group session every third Wednesday at 8:00 PM Eastern.

He also talked to Victoria University Professor of Climate Science & Physical Geography James Renwick about a study which found concerns with costal flooding events in Wellington. And he spoke to Association of Salaried Medical Specialists executive director Sarah Dalton about Pharmac changing eligibility criteria for diabetes medication and Health NZ stopping cardiology groups from objecting. Caeden also spoke to Asthma and Respiratory Foundation New Zealand Chief Executive Letitia Harding about calls from the World Health Organisation to ban flavoured tobacco products.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has renewed calls to ban flavoured nicotine products, particularly sweet, fruity, and confectionery-style flavours, which it says drive addiction amongst young people.  WHO has warned that tobacco and nicotine companies are deliberately creating products that are “more appealing, easier to use and harder to quit” for adolescents and young people. Thursday Wire Host Caeden caught up with Asthma and Respiratory Foundation New Zealand Chief Executive Letitia Harding about the calls for restrictions and how this applies in a New Zealand context.

We are in the final week of our four-part series on the 5th-largest killer in America.  This week, we talk about how to prevent Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease.  In this episode, you'll find out:—Why Dr. Prather says that "very few people" actually breathe deeply, which is the most important habit to keep your Lungs healthy. —How deep breathing calms the nervous system, helps with digestion, changes the pH of the body, and also helps blood pressure. —The importance of good air purifiers for the health of your Lungs.  And the stories of young people in Dr. Prather's office who had "crisis" situations for their Lungs after just a short time vaping. —How healthy Lungs actually start in the womb.  And how pregnant Moms who go through the Holistic Integration program have "happy and healthy" babies. —The Lung Function Spirometry test that people should have so that they know the state of their Lung health. —The benefits of a vaginal birth for a baby's Lung health compared to a C-section.  And how breast-feeding your baby "dramatically" reduces your child's chances of developing Asthma. —Why proper posture helps with proper breathing and proper breathing helps with Lung function.—How vaccines and antibiotics can increase a child's risk for Asthma.  And the importance of checking a child for parasites, which can be an underlying cause of Asthma. —The impact of Vitamin D and Vitamin A on your Lung health. —Why cough suppressants can actually harm your Lungs because they prevent the congestion from being expelled.  And the natural slternatives that Dr. Prather recommends. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

Most adults with asthma never receive education about managing their condition, even though it is proven to help with better asthma control. The reason comes down to access. In this episode, we explore a digital platform called BREATHE, built from the ground up to change that. Dr. Payel Gupta and Kortney sit down with the two lead authors behind “Development and Usability of a Digital Asthma Self-management Education Platform: BRinging Exercise, Asthma Assessments, and TeacHing to Everyone (BREATHE)” published in JACI: In Practice, March 2026. De De Gardner and Sheryl Flynn, CEO, talk about how BREATHE was developed, what the app includes, and what the data showed after patients and providers put it to the test. What we cover in this episode about asthma self-management Asthma self-management education and why most adults never receive it. How BREATHE was built using a user-centered design process, shaped by what adults with asthma and healthcare providers said they actually needed. What the BREATHE platform includes: asthma lessons, validated control assessments, and an Asthma Action Plan, all in one app, in English and Spanish. What the usability study found: adults rated the app in the 81st percentile, providers rated the dashboard in the 76th percentile, and 80% considered making a behavior change after just two weeks.

Modern medicine's success in extending lifespans comes at an environmental cost. This lecture explores the pollution from single-use plastics, pharmaceuticals and medical waste, questioning whether we can sustain this model. It examines the impact of drugs and their metabolites on ecosystems, the carbon footprint of healthcare and the ethical dilemma of balancing individual health with planetary health. This talk explores potential solutions, including green pharmacy, innovative materials and responsible waste management, asking if a future with both healthy aging and a thriving planet is achievable.This lecture was recorded by Ian Mudway on the 12th of May 2026 at Bernard's Inn Hall, LondonDr Ian Mudway is Visiting Professor of Environmental Health. He is a senior lecturer in the School of Public Health at Imperial, a member of the MRC Centre for Environment and Health; MRC & Asthma UK Centre in Allergic Mechanisms of Asthma and the NIHR-PHE Health Protection Research Units in Environmental Exposures and Health and Chemical and Radiation Threats and Hazards.He has over 25 years of experience researching the impacts of air pollution on human health and in the development of assays to quantify the toxicity of the chemical cocktails that pollute the air we breathe. Over this period Dr Mudway has published over 100 research papers, reports and book chapters on these topics, as well as providing advice to the local, national and international governments and NGOs. Dr Mudway is passionate about the communication of science to lay audiences and has worked extensively with artists and educationalist to promote the public understanding of the risks associated with environmental pollutants. Currently his work is focused on understanding early life impacts of pollutants on the development of the lung and cognitive function in children living within urban populations, as well as  furthering our fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that drive these adverse effects and modify an individual's susceptibility to air pollutionThe transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/pill-planetGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Why are more people becoming afraid of vaccines than the diseases vaccines were created to prevent? The answer is not simply a lack of information. In many ways, vaccines have become victims of their own success.For decades, widespread vaccination helped push diseases like measles, polio, pertussis, and smallpox out of everyday life. Many of us no longer live with the visible fear of these infections, their complications, or the way they can destabilize families, communities, and healthcare systems.But when the disease feels distant, the vaccine can start to feel like the bigger threat.That shift is now changing public health.Rather than assuming vaccine hesitancy is only about ignorance or defiance, we need to look more carefully at:• why people can become more suspicious of vaccines when they no longer see the diseases vaccines helped control• How misinformation, fear, personal experience, politics, history, and social media can shape health decisions• Why highly educated people can still be vulnerable to vaccine misinformation• how confusing a side effect, adverse event, or normal immune response with a true allergy can create long-term fear• Why egg allergy is no longer the vaccine barrier many people still believe it is• And how declining vaccination rates can allow diseases like measles and pertussis to reemergeVaccine education has to move beyond simply telling people what to do. We need clearer, more compassionate conversations that acknowledge fear while helping people separate facts from fiction.In this upcoming episode, I'm joined by Dr. Joyce Yu, associate professor of pediatrics and director of the Food Allergy Program at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.Together, we explore:What is driving the rise of vaccine hesitancyWhy vaccine-preventable diseases can return when communities let their guard downHow allergists help patients understand whether a vaccine reaction is truly an allergyAnd why rebuilding trust requires listening, clarity, and evidence-based conversationIf you or someone you love has ever felt uncertain, afraid, or confused about vaccines, allergic reactions, side effects, or conflicting health information, this conversation offers a grounded look at how fear spreads, how misinformation takes hold, and why protecting public health depends on rebuilding trust.Guest BioDr. Joyce Yu is an associate professor of pediatrics and director of the Food Allergy Program at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

What does it take to go from helping millions of people breathe easier to helping patients keep their legs?   Join The Heart of Innovation as Kym McNicholas talks with Sarvajna Dwivedi, Ph.D., entrepreneur, inventor, and CEO of AngioSafe, whose career has spanned some of the most challenging problems in medicine.   Sarvajna co-founded Pearl Therapeutics, a company focused on breakthrough respiratory therapies that was ultimately acquired by AstraZeneca for $1.15 billion. Along the way, he helped develop inhaled therapies and drug-device combinations designed to improve the lives of patients with asthma and COPD. (AngioSafe United States)   Today, his focus has shifted from the lungs to the arteries.   As CEO and co-founder of AngioSafe, Sarvajna is leading the development of the Santreva-ATK Endovascular Revascularization Catheter, a novel device designed to restore blood flow through some of the most challenging chronic total occlusions (CTOs) physicians encounter in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The technology is designed to cross completely blocked arteries, compress plaque, create a new channel, and restore blood flow without relying on a guidewire or external power source. (Medical Economics)   In this episode, we discuss:   • How a pharmaceutical scientist became a medical device innovator   • The story behind Pearl Therapeutics and its $1.15 billion acquisition   • Why chronic total occlusions remain one of the biggest challenges in PAD treatment   • How AngioSafe's Santreva-ATK technology works   • What it means to restore blood flow through arteries that are 100% blocked   • The future of cardiovascular and vascular innovation   If you or someone you love has peripheral artery disease, diabetes, leg pain while walking, non-healing wounds, or has been told an artery is completely blocked, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.  

We are in the third week of our four-part series on the 5th-largest killer in America.  This week, we talk about the diagnostics that can help prevent Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease and the tests that can help provide a roadmap to actually reverse it.  In this episode, you'll learn:—How Asthma is the majority of CLRD cases, while COPD is the number one category of CLRD deaths.—Why the Spirometry Lung Function Test is the most important tool to diagnose the Lungs.  And why Dr. Prather does not charge for follow-up Spirometry tests for those with severe Lung problems. —What factors Dr. Prather looks for to determine when  a Chest X-Ray is needed or when CT imaging is required for a patient.  And the common calcification Dr. Prather sees on Chest X-Rays due to Indianapolis being the "Histoplasmosis Capitol of America". —The importance of Vitamin D testing for respiratory health and the role it played during COVID.  And why Dr. Prather believes CLRD could be lowered by 85% if people just keep their Vitamin D levels in proper range.—The importance of Vitamin A as the recommended treatment for Measles.  And the history behind Cod Liver Oil as a great supplement for kids.—The importance of a Pulse Oximeter to check Blood Oxygen levels as a standard screening for all patients. —How Hair Analysis has been an important key to the health of so many patients, such as identifying toxic heavy metals like Cadmium which cause long-term damage to the Lungs. —Why Dr. Prather believes Sputum Cultures are under-utilized. —How a Stool Kit plays an important role for Lung health by identifying leaky gut issues that lead to Food Allergies.  Plus, how Parasites are a big cause of severe childhood Asthma and adult-onset Asthma.—Why too LOW levels of Hydrochloric Acid "almost always kicks off allergies" and is the reason for GERD and heartburn.  And why Proton Pump Inhibitors like Pepcid actually make the problem worse by lowering the Hydrochloric Acid in your stomach even more.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-21-2026: This is the second show featuring Mira Achilles, a UCSC graduate working on her masters in epidemiology. Dr. Dawn and Mira open with a Harvard study showing OpenAI's o1 reasoning model reached correct diagnoses 67% of the time versus 50-55% for physicians, and scored 89% versus 34% on treatment plans. The AI advantage shrinks when doctors get more data and time, suggesting its greatest value is in fast-moving triage. Dr. Dawn cautions that over-reliance on AI during residency could undermine the clinical reasoning neurologic pathways doctors must develop, and emphasizes the "zebra paradox"— rare diseases remain rare even when symptoms match the textbook. Dr. Dawn shares a personal case of a patient with throat shingles, leading her to use a medical AI (OpenEvidence) to investigate Shingrix risks. An Australian study found an elevenfold increase in shingles within 21 days of the first Shingrix dose in adults over 65, though dose two reduced overall risk by 73%. She explains this could be one of several things such as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), or that the AS01B vaccine adjuvant's strong activation may transiently reactivate latent virus, and recommends valacyclovir prophylaxis for high-risk patients for their first Shringrex shot.. Mira discusses AI in education, noting the shift from professors threatening plagiarism charges to teaching students how to critique AI output, emphasizing taking summaries "with a grain of salt." Dr. Dawn describes Chinese research scanning 1,154 children that identified a third ADHD subtype—severe emotional dysregulation—showing 45 abnormal brain regions versus 26 in the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types, with standard stimulants working poorly for this group. She connects this to traditional psychiatric personality disorder classifications and A discussion of vagus nerve stimulation's emerging applications for autoimmune conditions. Dr. Dawn and Mira discuss menstruation and bodily autonomy, then describe the Somedays period pain simulator that uses electrical impulses to let men experience menstrual cramps, highlighting differing pain thresholds. An emailer references a Radiolab episode about deliberate hookworm infection to treat asthma and allergies. Dr. Dawn explains parasites release immunosuppressants to survive, including anti-inflammatory protein-2 (AIP) now in drug development, which stimulates T-regulatory cells and IL-10 while "alarmins" inhibit lung inflammation—though this increases vulnerability to new infections. A caller with H. pylori and frequent viral infections asks whether S. boulardii and reuteri probiotics are safe given her low immunity. Dr. Dawn explains immunosuppression warnings target transplant-level drug suppression, not a tendency toward viruses like hers. Dr. Dawn thinks that her near-zero natural killer cells explain frequent infections, and suggests that the H. pylori test given her absence of symptoms, may be an incidental bystander rather than the cause of her low ferritin, which suggests bleeding. In medical news of the weird, Dr. Dawn describes Baby Cassian, diagnosed in utero with congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), who was partially removed from the womb at 25 weeks for airway surgery, returned, and born again at 31 weeks—leading to a discussion of microsurgery and how specialties partition by the physical scale of the surgery rather the location or type of structure.

You're welcome. Because today, we're digging into something I bet you're seeing on your back porch right now, and nobody is talking about it. Asthma and speech sound disorders. If you have a child on your caseload with significant asthma, this episode is the one you need tomorrow. Roll up your sleeves with me. We're going to get our hands really, really dirty, and we're going to talk about where the research stops and where the practitioner begins. Because this is where you have to have skin in the game. This is where it matters that you know your little professors closely, that you study what's happening under your own magnifying glass. Here's what we cover: What the research tells us. A Northwestern-led study of 337,285 children found that asthma, hay fever, and food allergy are significantly associated with speech disorders, and the more severe the disease, the greater the risk (Strom & Silverberg, 2016, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology). A 2006 population-based study of 7,389 eight-year-old children identified asthma as one of the factors associated with voice disorders (Carding et al., 2006, Journal of Voice). So we know there is a connection. And that is where the research stops. What I'm seeing on my back porch. This is where things get gnarly. The children with significant asthma are breaking the rules of speech development. They're stopping fricatives, they're fronting velars, they're voicing voiceless sounds, and they're deleting the /h/. Looks like phonological processes, right? Except phonological processes happen across positions of words. What I'm seeing with these kiddos is 0% accuracy in the initial position of words and 100% accuracy in the medial and final positions. That is not linguistic. Do you dare disturb the universe? Yes, you do. That's physiology. Why this is happening. My hypothesis, and this is practitioner experience, not research on large populations, is that these children have insufficient subglottal air pressure. Continuant sounds need continuous airflow from the respiratory system. After the vowel gets going, the vocal folds are doing the work and producing those sounds becomes easy. But in the initial position of words, when you're starting cold, you don't have that help. So fricatives stop, velars front, voiceless sounds get voiced, and the /h/ gets deleted. What the child is telling you. Mouth breathing at rest. Chin jutting. Head forward to get more air in. Tense neck and visible effort while speaking, like they're yelling at conversational volume. Fluctuating accuracy that tracks with allergy season and asthma flare-ups. The clear boogers come out and suddenly the phonological processes you thought were suppressed come right back. That is not a child regressing. That is a child without the respiratory support to do the work in initial position. What to do differently (DSD). You've been doing best practice. You're doing the complexity approach, you're doing DTTC, you're doing multimodal cueing, you're holding the 80% challenge point. And you're still at 0% in initial position. So we're going to do something different. We're going to capitalize on what the child can do. They can produce these sounds after a vowel, so we anchor with a vowel. We say "a sun, a sun." Or we use the end of one word to start the next, "yes sun, yes sun." And then over time, we stretch the pause longer and longer until that target is sitting in the initial position of the word on its own. That is how we DSD. This is one to take notes on. And if you have one of these kiddos on your back porch right now, shoot me an email. This is exactly the kind of clinical pattern I want to research next.

Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview is to: Educate listeners about how indoor environments contribute to asthma, allergies, and chronic health issues Promote Robin Wilson’s Clean Design philosophy and book, which provides room-by-room guidance for creating healthier homes Raise awareness that simple, practical lifestyle changes—not expensive renovations—can significantly improve wellness Normalize conversations around asthma, allergies, and environmental triggers as serious, manageable health conditions Rushion also uses the platform to share his own deeply personal experiences with allergic reactions, reinforcing the life-changing importance of Wilson’s message.. Key Takeaways 1. Your Home Should Be a Breathing Sanctuary Wilson emphasizes that many people focus on outdoor allergens while overlooking indoor exposure. Shoes, coats, pillows, furniture, and bedding often trap pollen, bacteria, and toxins that worsen symptoms once brought indoors.. 2. Pillows and Bedding Are Major Health Triggers One of the most memorable segments centers on pillows: Many people keep pillows for six years or more Old pillows accumulate dander, pollen, drool, bacteria, and allergens A pillow that stays folded is a sign it needs to be replaced Wilson introduces her “rule of threes”: Wash pillowcases every three weeks Wash pillow protectors every three months Replace pillows every three years Rushion shares that replacing a problematic pillow helped eliminate a chronic cough that seriously affected his life.. 3. “Allergen-Aware” Is More Honest Than “Hypoallergenic” Wilson avoids the term hypoallergenic because allergies vary from person to person. Instead, she advocates for ingredient transparency, empowering consumers to decide what is safe for their bodies and homes.. 4. Small Habits Create Big Health Outcomes Key daily practices include: Removing shoes immediately upon entering the home Washing hands before eating Changing clothes after being outdoors Cleaning from the top down (ceiling fans, surfaces, floors) Protecting mattresses and pillows with zippered covers Wilson stresses that consistency—not perfection—is what reduces exposure over time.. 5. Asthma Is a Serious Chronic Condition Wilson compares asthma management to diabetes care: It requires ongoing lifestyle adjustments Ignoring triggers increases the risk of severe attacks Clean environments reduce flare-ups and emergency situations She explains that nighttime asthma and allergy attacks often occur when cortisol levels drop during sleep, allowing reactions to surface.. 6. The Book Is a Practical, Room-by-Room Guide Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle is designed as a reference guide, not a cover-to-cover read. It addresses: Entryways and living rooms Bedrooms and nurseries Kitchens and bathrooms Home offices, basements, garages, and outdoor spaces Wilson also includes low-toxicity cleaning tips inspired by her grandmother, such as using baking soda, toothpaste, and even Coca-Cola instead of harsh chemicals.. Notable Quotes “One in five people suffer from asthma or allergies… and the home should be a sanctuary for easy breathing.”. “Break up with your pillow.”. “You might be allergic outside—and then come inside and double your allergen load.”.t “Asthma is like diabetes. If you manage the triggers, you reduce the risk of a serious episode.”. “It’s all about effort and consistency.”. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For most of human history, people went about their daily lives with a worm or two (or fifty) in their guts. Only in the past century, with pharmaceuticals and sanitation practices, have we made significant strides towards deworming the whole of humanity. And that's typically been thought of as a good thing, because having too many worms in your body can–quite literally–suck the life out of you. But is it possible to have… too few worms? Science wonders if deworming ourselves has actually led to an increase in certain chronic diseases. On this episode, we dive into Necator americanus, a.k.a. the American Hookworm, and its mysterious relationship with each of us. We trace the hookworm's 118-year journey from a demonized economic depressant, to its use as a desperate D.I.Y. immunosuppressant, to its potential as a medical treatment for a number of chronic diseases, everything from asthma to MS. We're bringing back two stories  from our 2009 episode Parasites plus new research on hookworms and autoimmune diseases, reported by Molly Webster Special thanks to Ethan Hein for the use of his remix of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21. Plus, Doris Pierce, and Dan and Alice Hadley.
