“If the asthma is under good control but they are still having these episodes, then I do think that maybe they have a PVFMD component to their breathing issue.” Dr. R. Jun LinPatients come into clinic short of breath. It hits during exercise, it looks dramatic, and they may even describe noisy breathing or the feeling that they “can't get air in.” So we do what clinicians do: we think asthma. We try inhalers. But sometimes, no matter how many puffers are thrown at the problem, nothing changes.That's when it may be time to look higher, to the larynx.On this episode of The Allergist, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. R. Jun Lin, a fellowship-trained laryngologist and chief of the Division of Laryngology at the University of Toronto, for a practical discussion of vocal cord dysfunction, inducible laryngeal obstruction, and paradoxical vocal fold motion disorder. Dr. Lin walks through how these patients present, how to distinguish laryngeal obstruction from asthma, when both may be present, and why respiratory retraining therapy is often the cornerstone of care.Key PointsVCD, ILO, EILO, and PVFMD describe the same basic problem through different specialty lenses.The key clue: trouble breathing in, not out.In teens, it often shows up during warm-up or early competition.In adults, common triggers include perfume, bleach, gasoline, cooking fumes, cold air, humidity, speaking, or laughing.Asthma and PVFMD can coexist. If asthma is controlled but symptoms persist, think larynx.Laryngoscopy is often normal in PVFMD, but helps rule out structural causes.Respiratory retraining therapy is the cornerstone of treatment.Pursed-lip breathing can reduce the severity and duration of episodes, but patients need to practise it before symptoms peak.Food triggers, urticaria, tongue swelling, or rash point away from PVFMD.Botox is a last resort, not first-line treatment.For clinicians, this episode is a reminder that not every dramatic breathing episode starts in the lower airway. When the history points to trouble getting air in, especially with poor response to inhalers, PVFMD deserves a place on the differential.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

“AI might feel like magic at times, but mostly it's just powerful technology, and with any technology, it's a tool.” —Merlijn van BreugelAI is no longer a future-tense possibility for allergists. It is already shaping diagnosis, prediction, documentation, patient communication, and the way clinicians think through complex decisions. But if AI can process more than we can, what still belongs to the clinician?On this episode of The Allergist, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Merlijn van Breugel, a data scientist and philosopher whose work focuses on AI in allergy and immunology. Together, they get into where AI may be most useful now and in the near future, including phenotyping asthma and eczema, supporting diagnosis in young children, combining genetic, environmental, wearable, and clinical data, and reducing the administrative work that pulls clinicians away from patient care. But the episode does not dodge the hard stuff: hallucinations, bias, validation, liability, overtrust, and the very human problem of changing behaviour in real clinics.Key PointsAllergy and immunology are not early adopters of AI, partly because the field relies on complex, heterogeneous data.AI is most promising when it helps reveal patterns clinicians struggle to synthesize on their own, such as asthma or eczema subtypes.Large language models can hallucinate, so clinicians need to stay critical even when an answer sounds polished and convincing.Decision-support tools should augment clinical judgment, not replace it.Bias in training data can create real harm if AI tools work better for some patient populations than others.The best use cases are significant, underserved problems where AI can do something that older tools could not.AI literacy will become a core skill for clinicians who want to use these tools safely and effectively.For allergists, the message is not to fear the machine or blindly follow it. AI may help identify patterns, reduce administrative work, and open new research possibilities, but the clinician still brings the judgment, context, accountability, and critical eye. The future is not AI instead of allergists. It is allergists who understand how to use AI well.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

“It's a fun time to be a food allergist”—Dr. David FleischerFood allergy treatment is no longer just about avoidance, epinephrine, and hoping for the best. With high-dose OIT, low-dose OIT, SLIT, EPIT, Xolair, and other biologics entering the conversation, allergists now face a more practical question: what are we trying to achieve, and what approach best fits this patient and family?On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. David Fleischer, section head of allergy and immunology and director of the Allergy and Immunology Center at Children's Hospital Colorado, and professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He walks through how dose, route, safety, family goals, practicality, and flexibility all shape the choice of therapy.Key PointsLow-dose OIT may offer similar protection to higher-dose protocols in some patients, making the dose question more about goals, risk, and fit.Protection is the first goal; clinical remission remains the harder, longer-term hope.Lower-dose approaches may offer practical advantages, including fewer up-doses, fewer clinic visits, and potentially fewer side effects.SLIT and EPIT may be useful options for families looking for more forgiving, lower-burden approaches.Xolair can provide protection for selected patients, but Dr. Fleischer emphasizes that it is not disease-modifying.Food allergy treatment is becoming a shared decision about efficacy, safety, practicality, and what the family actually wants from therapy.With more tools in the food allergy toolbox, the future may not be one perfect protocol for everyone. It may be choosing the right therapy for the right patient, then having the flexibility to change course when life, goals, or tolerance change.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

“We need more than just random care. We need randomized care.” — Dr. Derek ChuFor years, the allergy world has been drowning in a sea of data—risk factors, prevention strategies, and enough diagnostic tools to fill a warehouse. But how do you translate 340 different risk factors into a cohesive plan when an anxious parent is sitting in your clinic demanding a skin test for their four-month-old?. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by "systematic review genius" Dr. Derek Chu to unpack the evidence-based roadmap for food allergy and atopic dermatitis. It's time to move past the "noise" and start reading between the lines of what our patients actually need.Key Points:Major vs. Minor Signals: Eczema severity and family history are the big players, while being first-born or male are merely minor notes in the risk profile.The Diagnostic Trap: Testing only works if it changes practice; otherwise, you're just putting a baby through the trauma of an itchy back for a 20% certainty bump.De-escalating Momentum: Be skeptical of previous "avoid all nuts" labels; if the patient is already eating the food, do not skin test them to it.The TITAN Initiative: We need national, high-quality food challenge capacity to provide the clarity that families are actually looking for.Beyond Narrative Synthesis: The new eczema guidelines involve patients as partners and weigh everything from JAK inhibitors to the humble (but low-certainty) bleach bath.Clean Hands, Frequent Moisture: Prevention of atopic dermatitis may be gray, but moisturizing with every diaper change—using clean hands—is a low-stakes winDr. Chu walks us through the "diagnostic momentum" that often leads clinicians to over-test and over-restrict, and why your Royal College exam cutoffs might not be as definitive as you remember. From the major and minor predictors of food allergy to the "multimorbid" patient with eczema, this conversation is a masterclass in being sensible and judicious at the bedside.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

“We came up with the idea of testing a ketogenic diet… which in mice, it's basically a lot of Crisco… giving a keto diet to mice with CGD… led to a decreased susceptibility to colitis.” —Dr. Emilia Liana FalconeThe microbiome isn't something sitting on the sidelines. It's part of the immune system, interacting with the barrier, shaping responses, and, in IEI, reflecting the underlying defect.On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. Emilia Liana Falcone, physician-scientist and director of the Microbiome and Mucosal Defense Research Unit at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute, to walk through how these host–microbe interactions drive disease. From early-life immune programming to microbial signals that activate inflammatory pathways, this is a shift from association to mechanism. And a step toward therapies that target both sides of the equation.Key Points:The microbiome reflects the underlying immune defect in IEIFocus on what microbes are doing, not just which ones are presentMicrobiome changes both result from—and contribute to—diseaseEarly life is a critical window where these interactions are setLoss of protective microbial functions matters more than specific bacteriaMicrobial signals can directly drive inflammation (including inflammasome activation)Future treatments will likely combine immune therapy with microbiome-targeted approachesThis is not about adding a probiotic.It's about understanding how immune defects reshape the microbial environment, and how that environment feeds back into disease.Get that interaction right, and you're not just managing symptoms.You're changing the system driving them.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

In this episode, Stephen LeDrew speaks with Dr. Michael Bonner about the growing size of government in Canada — and why public trust in institutions appears to be declining.As federal and provincial bureaucracies expand, Canadians are seeing rising concerns around crime, drug policy, judicial rulings, deportation stays, and the limits of the Charter. Bonner argues that a philosophical shift has taken place in Canada, one that prioritizes individual autonomy without emphasizing civic obligation.The discussion explores the role of the judiciary, parliamentary supremacy, the use of the notwithstanding clause, and whether courts have expanded their authority beyond interpretation into policymaking.Are Canadians losing confidence in their institutions? And if so, how does a democracy restore accountability?A direct conversation about big government, judicial power, public trust, and the future of Canadian democracy. Hosted on Acast.

“This is a safe and very effective therapy, which is probably underutilized within our own community.” —Dr. Susan WassermanSubcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) sits in that uncomfortable space between routine and risk. It's one of the few interventions in allergy that can actually modify disease. But it also carries a small, very real risk of severe reactions. On this episode, Dr. Susan Wasserman, professor at McMaster University and a national leader in immunotherapy, walks through what safety really looks like in practice. And where things still go wrong.Key Points:Systemic reactions are uncommon but not rareSafety has improved through better patient selection, standardized extracts, and clinic preparednessUncontrolled asthma is the most important risk factor for severe reactionsPrior systemic reactions require reassessment, especially if the cause is correctableBuild-up dosing carries higher risk than maintenanceRush and cluster protocols increase risk and need clear justificationThe 30-minute observation period captures most but not all reactionsBeta blockers and ACE inhibitors may worsen reaction severity without increasing incidenceSCIT is one of the few tools we have that can actually change the trajectory of allergic disease. But it demands discipline. Careful screening. Reliable processes. And a team that's ready to act when things go sideways.Because most of the time, it's safe.And the rare times it isn't—that's where preparation matters most.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

"So the future is one IV infusion, likely no chemotherapy, and that'll cure our IEIs." — Dr. Nicola WrightFor children born with inborn errors of immunity, bone marrow transplant has long been the closest thing medicine had to a cure. It works — but it comes with chemotherapy, graft-versus-host disease, and a donor search that doesn't always end well. Gene therapy is changing that calculus. Dr. Mariam Hanna speaks with Dr. Nicola Wright, a pediatric hematologist and clinical immunologist at the Alberta Children's Hospital and holder of the Barb Ibbotson Chair of Pediatric Hematology, whose research focuses on developing gene editing platforms for blood and immune disorders.On this episode, they discuss:Why bone marrow transplant is, in Dr. Wright's words, "almost a poor man's gene therapy" and what gene therapy offers insteadThe spectrum of technologies: lentiviral insertion, CRISPR, base editing, and prime editing. What each does, and where each falls shortImmune reconstitution outcomes across diseases, including over 90% good immune reconstitution in ADA-deficient SCID treated with lentiviral therapyHow to counsel a family when gene therapy might be an option and why most patients still can't access itThe "valley of death": why therapies that work in trials are failing to reach patients, and what it will take to cross itCAR T-cell therapy in IEI, including a Canadian trial underway for refractory autoimmune diseaseWhat long-term follow-up looks like and why 15-year post-trial monitoring is now an FDA requirementThe science is outpacing the infrastructure. Dr. Wright's vision of shipping cells instead of patients, in vivo delivery via lipid nanoparticle, no chemotherapy required isn't speculative. The runway is being built.

"That wholesome conversation that you take a minute or two to go through really creates a physician-patient relationship, expands that communication. Probably will not only improve patient outcomes, but reduce medical-legal risk for physicians in the consent process." — Dr. Lisa ThurgurA signed form isn't consent. It's paperwork. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. Lisa Thurgur — emergency physician, award-winning educator, and a physician advisor with the Canadian Medical Protective Association — to unpack what meaningful consent looks like in daily practice. Inadequate consent is one of the most common allegations in CMPA cases, across every specialty.On this episode:The three elements of valid consent — and what capacity actually meansWhy a signed consent form is not the same as an informed patientImplied versus expressed consent: when each applies, and when to re-consentWhy serious risks like anaphylaxis — and death — must be disclosed, and how to frame that conversationConsent in minors: why maturity — not age — determines capacity (with one exception in Quebec)What to do when parents disagree — or a minor refusesPatients recording their visits: what physicians need to knowPARQ: a four-point mnemonic for structuring both the conversation and the chart noteThe say-back technique: asking patients what they understood, and why it mattersDone well, consent isn't something you do in addition to practicing good medicine. It improves outcomes, strengthens adherence, and reduces medical-legal risk. In other words, it is good medicine.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

Dr. Donald L. Smith is the Distinguished James McGill Professor in the Department of Plant Science at McGill University. He is also CEO of BioFuelNet Canada, Head of Biomass Canada, and Head of the McGill Network for Innovation on Biofuels and Bioproduct. Don's research examines relationships between plants and the microbes that live in association with them, particularly in the roots. He and his collaborators have discovered evidence of signaling between plants and microbes, including microbial signaling that causes plants to grow better. They also uncovered that plants respond much more strongly to signals in the presence of drought or cold stress. Now they are expanding their investigations to examine a wide range of plant-associated microbes to better understand the signals they send and how they may impact plant health and resilience. Outside of the lab, Don loves to unwind and recharge by going on walks and reading great novels. He is also an avid traveler who enjoys blending work with trips to new places whenever possible, turning conferences and collaborations into opportunities to explore the world. He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Acadia University and his PhD from the University of Guelph. Afterwards, he worked as an Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellow at Agriculture Canada before joining the faculty at McGill University in 1985. Over the course of his career, Don has received many awards and honors, including, the Clean50 award for contributions to sustainable development and clean capitalism in Canada and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, in this case for significant contributions to intelligent agriculture . He is also a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Agronomy, and he served as a Member of the Canada-US think tank on climate change and agriculture in North Eastern North America. In our interview, Don shares more about his life and science.

"I have come across allergists in different countries who often don't even prescribe epinephrine for very young children that have only had a history of mild reactions." — Dr. Katherine AnagnostouAn inconsolable cry. A baby who's just not acting right. Tongue thrusting. Lip licking. Scratching at their own tongue. These aren't the symptoms that make it into standard diagnostic criteria — but they might be the clearest signal a non-verbal child can give. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Katherine Anagnostou to explore how anaphylaxis presents in infants and toddlers, why the standard criteria don't always apply, and how allergists can help caregivers recognize — and treat — serious reactions in children who can't yet put words to what they're feeling.On this episode:Why modified criteria for infant and toddler anaphylaxis matterBehavioral signs like irritability, clinginess, lethargy, or withdrawal as red flagsThe role of context and timing in recognizing reactionsSurrogate symptoms — tongue thrusting and lip licking for oral itching, drooling, horse cryWhy urticaria shows up in 90% of infant anaphylaxis casesEpinephrine dosing: the 0.1 mg option for infants 7.5-15 kg and safety of 0.15 mg in smaller babiesWhy not every infant who receives epinephrine needs the EDSecond-dose timing: five minutes, not tenNovel delivery routes on the horizon — intranasal and sublingual epinephrineDr. Anagnostou returns to one principle throughout: parents generally know their children pretty well. The job of the allergist isn't to create fear or overcomplicate recognition — it's to help families spot what's different, understand the context, and feel equipped to act when it matters.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

“There is nothing magical that happens in your gut that says, ‘oh, now you're ready for cow's milk.' — Dr. Farah KhanMilk has a special talent for creating chaos in clinic. One day it's mucousy stools and a terrifying diaper photo, the next it's hives after yogurt, delayed vomiting with lethargy, or a family that's been dairy-free for years with no improvement in eczema. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by pediatric allergist and clinical immunologist Dr. Farah Khan to walk through the many ways “milk problems” show up — and how allergists can avoid overdiagnosis, unnecessary testing, and prolonged elimination diets that may do more harm than good.On this episode:Why allergic proctocolitis (cow's milk protein intolerance) is often overdiagnosedWhen skin testing and IgE testing are useful Understanding the difference in lactose intolerance How baked milk can be used to improve quality of life in IgE-mediated milk allergyWhat makes FPIES to milk tricky, including earlier-than-expected reactionsWhy dairy elimination for eczema or EOE needs caution and frequent reassessmentAcross each of these scenarios, Dr. Khan returns to the same principle: eliminating dairy should never be a one-and-done decision. Revisiting the diagnosis, retrying thoughtfully, and weighing quality of life alongside risk are essential — especially when prolonged avoidance can set the stage for the very allergy clinicians are trying to prevent.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

“It's not about knowing each one. It's about knowing the patterns, the warning signs, the general pathways, and knowing when to ask a friend when you're a little bit lost.” —Dr. Tamar  RubinOn this episode of The Allergist, Dr. Mariam Hanna turns the focus to how allergists LEARN to recognize when common presentations may signal a deeper immune problem — and how that diagnostic instinct is built, taught, and sustained.She's joined by Tamar Rubin, pediatric allergist and clinical immunologist, Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba, and a national leader in immunology education. Dr. Rubin makes the case that inborn errors of immunity are not a fringe interest, but central to understanding immunology across allergy, asthma, infection, and biologic therapies — and that allergist-immunologists are the specialists uniquely trained to recognize and teach this.On this episode, they discuss:Why allergist-immunologists “own” inborn errors of immunity, and why teaching these conditions is part of the specialty's responsibilityMoving trainees away from memorizing rare syndromes and toward recognizing immune pathways, patterns, and warning signsHow patient-based teaching, case discussions, OSCEs, and national academic half-day curricula help trainees develop diagnostic “spidey sense”What happens when you build dedicated immunology clinics, and how volume and exposure increase once you start lookingThe importance of national collaboration and collegial networks when managing ultra-rare immune conditionsPractical ways allergists in community practice can stay engaged with inborn errors of immunity, even with limited volume or access to specialized testingKnowing when — and how — to ask for help matters as much as knowing the diagnosis.Because in the end, inborn errors of immunity aren't just about rare diseases. They sharpen how allergists think, teach, and listen when the immune story doesn't quite fit.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

Dr. Kathleen Martin Ginis is a Distinguished University Scholar and a Professor in the Department of Medicine (Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) and in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at The University of British Columbia. She holds the Reichwald Family Chair in Preventive Medicine and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology, and as is an International Fellow of the National Academy of Kinesiology. The focus of Dr. Martin Ginis's research is placed on understanding and changing physical activity behaviour, particularly among people living with spinal cord injury. She is deeply committed to knowledge translation; specifically, the development and implementation of evidence-based best-practices to improve health and well-being among people with disabilities. By example, Dr. Martin Ginis spearheaded the formulation and knowledge translation of scientific exercise guidelines for adults with spinal cord injury. These guidelines have been translated into nearly 20 languages and are used worldwide in clinical and community settings. Part 2 Eighty percent admittedly is an arbitrary number, but it's one that most exercise scientists use as a sort of the minimum threshold for deeming someone adherent to the protocol. There were no differences in pain reduction between those with neuropathic versus musculoskeletal pain, but the small ends, small sample sizes for those two groups, make it difficult to really confirm that there is no difference in exercise outcomes for those two groups. She thinks we need to look at that further with bigger samples for each type of pain. Given the pragmatic nature of the trial that we let people exercise on their own in the community, she thinks this speaks to the feasibility of using exercise as a pain self-management strategy, but with the caveat that it's likely not going to be effective for everyone. Fifty percent of people with spinal cord injury report no leisure time physical activity whatsoever. In other words, no activity that could potentially improve cardiorespiratory fitness or muscle strength. And that's not the fault of people with spinal cord injury. Factors that influence physical activity don't just rest within the person, but they rest within society.

Keeping up with the allergy literature can feel like a second job layered onto an already full clinic day. Between evolving guidelines, expanding biologic options, and long-held assumptions quietly being challenged, it's hard to know which papers are worth slowing down for. This episode takes a deliberately selective approach. Dr. David Khan — chair of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology literature review — walks through five papers from 2025 that stood out not because they were flashy, but because they asked practical questions allergists actually wrestle with in clinic.Timing of repeat epinephrine to inform pediatric anaphylaxis observation periods: a retrospective cohort studyFor most children treated with epinephrine, prolonged emergency department observation may be unnecessary, with two hours appearing sufficient unless cardiovascular features are involved.Two-year data of tapered dupilumab shows high effectiveness in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps with NSAID-exacerbated respiratory diseaseIn real-world practice, most patients with CRSwNP maintained excellent control while spacing dupilumab doses far beyond every two weeks, challenging long-term fixed dosing assumptions.Remibrutinib and chronic spontaneous urticariaThis trial marks a major shift for CSU, introducing an oral, targeted option that delivers rapid symptom control and meaningful rates of complete remission.A randomized trial comparing direct challenges to penicillin skin testing for outpatient low-risk penicillin allergy evaluations in pregnancyFor pregnant patients with low-risk penicillin allergy histories, direct oral challenge proved safe, efficient, and more streamlined than traditional skin testing.Age differences in inducible laryngeal obstruction in adult populationsInducible laryngeal obstruction appears common in older adults, often presents more subtly, and frequently masquerades as asthma or anaphylaxis.Taken together, these papers reflect a broader shift in allergy care: less reflexive caution, more precision, and a growing willingness to question long-standing habits when better data emerge. Whether it's shortening observation times, tapering biologics, simplifying drug allergy evaluations, or recognizing long-ignored mimics of allergic disease, the 2025 literature nudges allergists toward care that is more precise, less reflexive, and still clinically vigilant.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

Dr. Kathleen Martin Ginis is a Distinguished University Scholar and a Professor in the Department of Medicine (Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) and in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at The University of British Columbia. She holds the Reichwald Family Chair in Preventive Medicine and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology, and as is an International Fellow of the National Academy of Kinesiology. The focus of Dr. Martin Ginis's research is placed on understanding and changing physical activity behaviour, particularly among people living with spinal cord injury. She is deeply committed to knowledge translation; specifically, the development and implementation of evidence-based best-practices to improve health and well-being among people with disabilities. By example, Dr. Martin Ginis spearheaded the formulation and knowledge translation of scientific exercise guidelines for adults with spinal cord injury. These guidelines have been translated into nearly 20 languages and are used worldwide in clinical and community settings. Part 1 One of her objectives is to present recent data showing the physical and mental health benefits of exercise for adults with spinal cord injury. She wants to introduce exercise guidelines for adults with SCI. Starting with the benefits of exercise from a mental and physical health perspective, probably the best two areas, best two outcomes for which there is evidence are improving insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular disease risk in this population. The fitness guideline stipulates that to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength, adults with SCI should do at least 20 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity, aerobic activity twice per week, and strength training exercises twice per week. The guideline for cardiometabolic health stipulates that a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity is required three times per week. She discussed how exercise improves well-being. She also talked about exercise in chronic pain. She described the Epic SCI trial, a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial, testing the effects of exercising according to the scientific SCI exercise guidelines on SCI chronic pain.

== Happy holidays to our audience around the world!  As a gift, and a break for The Allergist team, we are replaying our most popular episode from 2025. We hope you enjoy it as much this time around. See you in the New Year! ==“We have to keep in mind that urticaria has to be treated until it's completely gone. So, absolute control of the disease.” — Dr. Hermenio LimaChronic spontaneous urticaria has long been managed with the goal of complete symptom control. But for many patients, that goal remains elusive. In this episode of The Allergist, Dr. Mariam Hanna talks with dermatologist and clinical immunologist Dr. Hermenio Lima about the updated urticaria guidelines—and how new treatment options are giving clinicians more ways to act, and more hope for getting patients all the way to control.On this episode:What's new in the 2025 guideline—including additional second-line options beyond antihistaminesWhy nearly 40% of patients may need to escalate to biologicsHow remibrutinib compares to omalizumab and what its trials revealedWhat the CUPID studies say about dupilumab, especially in biologic-naive patientsKey safety signals and clinical considerations for the new treatment optionsHow to move toward full disease control—and why suboptimal outcomes are no longer acceptableComplete control is still the destination, but the path to get there is about to get a lot more flexible.Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

“We should stop being scared of food, and we really should just let babies eat.”                                                                                                          — Dr. Carina VenterDr. Mariam Hanna sits down with Dr. Carina Venter, a leading dietitian and researcher in food allergy prevention and management. They get into the everyday realities of feeding infants and children in allergy practice, from early introduction to texture challenges, growth concerns, and the rise of allergen-free processed foods.On this episodeHow nutrition supports the microbiome and immune system, and helps clinicians navigate the anxiety common in food-allergy clinics.Practical early-feeding strategies: pairing low-allergen foods with allergens, starting early, and keeping allergens in the diet once introduced.How to approach families whose infants reject certain textures or flavours, and realistic ways to incorporate allergens like egg and peanut.Why baby-led weaning may not work well for allergenic foods, especially in babies with eczema.Nutritional red flags: milk allergy, multiple food allergies, and texture delays that warrant dietitian referral.Concerns about ultra-processed allergen-free products and how emulsifiers may affect gut health.This episode brings nutrition back to the centre of allergy practice. Dr Venter's guidance keeps things practical — diverse diets, consistent allergen exposure, and attention to growth and texture — so families can feel confident and kids can learn to enjoy food safely.Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

How did Persian mythology seep into the texts of the Hebrew Bible? In this week's Biblical Time Machine, Helen and Lloyd are joined by Professor Mark Leuchter, who has recently argued that the 'dynastic myth-making' of the Persian Achaemenid rulers left its mark on Second Temple Jewish texts. Drawing on cognitive science, postcolonial theory, ancient letters and iconography, Mark guides us through the complex world of Persian myth-making and its effects on the Hebrew Bible. Mark Leuchter is Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Judaism and Director of Jewish Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia. His publications include The Levites and the Boundaries of Israelite Identity (Oxford University Press, 2017) and more recently An Empire Far And Wide: The Achaemenid Dynastic Myth and Jewish Scribes in the Late Persian Period (Oxford University Press, 2024). He is one of the editors of the New Oxford Bible Commentary and is an executive board member of the Canadian Society for Biblical Studies. If you would like to gain a sense of the ancient Persian empire – the largest of its time – check out this map from our friends at SBL Bible Odyssey. SUPPORT BIBLICAL TIME MACHINEIf you enjoy the podcast, please (pretty please!) consider supporting the show through the Time Travellers Club, our Patreon.

Imagine your daily choices in pregnancy quietly shaping your child's metabolism, stress responses, and emotional regulation for years. That's the compelling throughline from our time at the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology pre-conference, where leading researchers shared how movement and food quality during pregnancy build health that lasts well beyond birth.We break down what the latest studies suggest about prenatal exercise, resistance training, and reducing ultra-processed foods. You'll hear how even simple interventions—like pairing grocery support with a pedometer goal—can improve early childhood outcomes up to 36 months. We also talk candidly about the barriers that make “just exercise and eat well” feel unrealistic: long commutes, childcare, nausea, finances, or medical restrictions. Our aim is to cut the fear and guilt, and replace them with doable wins grounded in the 24-hour movement guideline, where any shift toward more activity and less sitting moves the needle.Whether you're an experienced lifter cruising through classes or taking your first steps into movement, you'll find a flexible framework that respects context and celebrates small gains. We explore the nature–nurture blend and how epigenetics helps explain the long arc from prenatal habits to early development, without overselling certainty. The takeaway is warm and practical: choose what's possible today, protect sleep where you can, keep stress in check, and let consistency do the heavy lifting for both you and your baby.If this conversation helps, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, subscribe for more evidence-based guidance on pregnancy and postpartum performance, and leave a review to support the show.

For many families, a food allergy diagnosis doesn't just change what's on the menu, it changes how they live. Suddenly, everyday moments like playdates, birthday parties, family vacations, or a simple trip to a restaurant feel like navigating a minefield. Parents become hyper-vigilant, kids feel isolated, and the fear of accidental exposure looms large, casting a shadow over milestones that should be joyful. But what if much of this suffering is preventable? What if the way we introduce food in infancy could reduce not just allergic reactions, but the emotional burden they carry? In this episode, I'm joined once again by Canadian board-certified Pediatric and Adult Allergist/Immunologist Dr. Stuart Carr. With over 3 decades of experience, Dr. Carr is the Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi. Today, Dr. Carr unpacks the mental health impact of food allergies and reveals how early allergen introduction and oral immunotherapy are reshaping the way we treat and prevent allergies.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Why “just avoid the allergen” is outdated and harmfulAvoidance doesn't just limit diet, it can hardwire fear and worsen immune reactivity. How are avoidance-based strategies doing more harm than good? -The critical mistake parents make after introducing allergensTrying peanut butter once and checking it off the list isn't enough. What frequency and dose prevents allergies from developing? -Reasonable respect vs. unreasonable fearAllergies aren't just a physical issue, they also affect the mental health and quality of life of children and their families. What stresses do allergies cause in families? How does early introduction alleviate these stresses?    Guest Bio Dr. Stuart Carr is a Canadian board-certified Pediatric and Adult Allergist/Immunologist with over three decades of experience. He's been Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi since January 2019, following 20 years in academic clinical allergy practice in Edmonton, Canada, where he was an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Alberta.

When Tim Hodgson stepped up to the podium at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, he struck a tone rarely met with optimism in Alberta — especially from a Liberal cabinet minister.In this episode of West of Centre, guest host Jim Brown breaks down the early signals from Canada's new Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, as Hodgson attempts to reset Ottawa's rocky relationship with Western Canada's energy sector. A former chair of Hydro One and board member at MEG Energy, Hodgson brings both Bay Street credentials and oilpatch familiarity. He's leaning into both.Panelists Grant Sprague, former Alberta deputy energy minister; Globe and Mail energy reporter Emma Graney; and Bill Whitelaw, chair of the Canadian Society for Evolving Energy, weigh in on whether Hodgson's mix of financial savvy and prairie roots can translate into real results.

What if creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders—but a potent, research-backed tool for women’s health, performance, and longevity? In this powerhouse episode, Angela sits down with Darren Candow, a leading expert on creatine and Professor and Director of the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory at the University of Regina, Canada. Darren is also the Director of Research for the Athlete Health and Performance Initiative and past Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies. Together, they unpack the groundbreaking science behind one of the most misunderstood supplements. From brain energetics and mood stability to bone density, fat loss, and anti-aging, this is your comprehensive guide to creatine beyond the gym. Angela and Darren explore the myths, the mechanisms, and the real-world applications of creatine—especially for women navigating perimenopause, high stress, and cognitive load. Whether you’re looking to train smarter, improve memory and sleep, or simply age with more energy and resilience, this masterclass will change the way you think about creatine forever. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Creatine for Cognitive Health: It crosses the blood-brain barrier slowly but significantly, especially under stress or sleep deprivation. Dosage Evolution: 10g/day may be optimal for full muscle, brain, and bone saturation—especially in women. Bone Health & Aging: Combined with resistance training, creatine may help preserve bone density, especially post-menopause. Body Composition Benefits: Contrary to myth, creatine reduces body fat over time and improves lean mass, even in women. Mental Health & Resilience: Early evidence shows potential benefits for depression, anxiety, and sleep quality. Safer Than You Think: Creatine does not cause kidney issues or hair loss—these myths are finally being debunked with new data. Emerging Synergies: Stacks with protein, collagen, or taurine may enhance its effects—especially for brain and recovery support. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:00 – Introduction 3:33 – Creatine’s impact on fat loss, strength, and performance in women 7:31 – Recovery, overtraining & HRV: how creatine supports your nervous system 13:31 – Creatine for mood, mental health, and inflammation 18:36 – Bone health benefits in postmenopausal women 22:03 – Muscle breakdown: why women respond differently than men 31:25 – GAA, taurine & stacks that supercharge brain performance 36:28 – Brain fog, stress & cognition: creatine’s impact on energy and focus 47:43 – Creatine and sleep: timing, dosage, and recovery benefits 52:07 – The perimenopause trifecta: mood, metabolism, and muscle 55:13 – Final verdict: What dose actually works—and is it safe?

On this episode of Visual Intonation, we sit down with Zoë Davidson, a brilliant Director of Photography whose work speaks volumes — even when there's no dialogue. Based in Toronto, Zoë's shot films across Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean, and her camera has a way of capturing not just images, but emotion. Her journey is rooted in storytelling, travel, and a deep connection to culture. Zoë holds an MFA from Howard University and spent four years teaching digital media before diving full-time into freelance cinematography. She's worked with heavy hitters like Lionsgate, Terence Nance, and even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. But what stands out most isn't just the scale of her work; it's the heart behind it. Every frame feels intentional, rich, and alive. Her films have screened at Sundance, the Trinidad + Tobago Film Festival, and CaribbeanTales, and she's taken home major awards, including Best Documentary at Emerging Lens in 2024. She's also part of powerful collectives like Brown Girls Doc Mafia, Women in Media, and the Canadian Society of Cinematographers, always bringing community into focus. In this conversation, we talk about how Zoë lights a scene, how she finds truth through the lens, and what it means to tell stories across borders. It's honest, inspiring, and full of wisdom for anyone drawn to the art of visual storytelling. Zoë Davidson's Website: https://zoedavidson.com/Zoë Davidson's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10347632/Zoë Davidson's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zdavidson/Zoë Davidson's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zo%C3%ABdavidsonZoë Davidson's SkillShare: https://www.skillshare.com/en/profile/Zo%C3%AB-Davidson/4543525?srsltid=AfmBOopeMfgG_PtnfaqbJOKZgHwCWq8QigYHyew7FXDv76VcxAPdxjztZoë Davidson's Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/zoedavidsonSupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

In this inspiring episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, our special guest is Joy Fox, an 89-year-old solo traveler whose remarkable story has captivated audiences worldwide. Joy's journey, which began with heartbreak and resilience with a broken engagement, has been featured as one of the BBC's top travel stories of 2024. Written by Mia Taylor— a former guest of the Holistic Wealth podcast herself—this story chronicles Joy's incredible adventures and a lifetime of overcoming challenges.  Living Through World War II The turbulence of World War II marked Joy Fox's childhood. Growing up in England, Joy and her family endured constant bombings under Hitler's regime. They were forced to move from house to house to evade danger, often living in one bedroom in fear and uncertainty, these formative years instilled in her a profound sense of resilience. Resources were scarce, and survival was paramount, leaving an indelible mark on how she perceived financial security. Please tune in to this inspiring episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast and discover how Joy continues to inspire generations with her boundless spirit and zest for life in this episode on: Holistic Wealth and Breaking Barriers at Age 89: Solo Travel with World War II Survivor, Joy Fox.  Resources Used In This Episode:  Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated: 36 Life Lessons to Help You Recover from Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom. Holistic Wealth Personal Workbook  Personal Financial Identity Quiz  Trauma of Money Certification Program  The Move From England to Canada After the war, Joy emigrated from England to Canada, determined to create a new life. There, she met her husband, who became her partner in rebuilding not only their finances but also her trust in abundance. Through his encouragement, Joy began to reframe her relationship with money, gradually healing from the trauma of her wartime experiences. In this episode, Joy also discussed how she took an early retirement from the Ontario Public Service and started her own business. Joy created CansPEP, the Canadian Society of Professional Event Planners out of a need to gather independent planning professionals as a strong group of entrepreneurs. Selling Her Engagement Ring  Joy's journey as a solo traveler began in the most unexpected way: selling her engagement ring after a broken relationship. At just 20 years old, she took the proceeds and embarked on her first trip, traveling from her small village in Wivenhoe, England, to Italy. That journey sparked a lifelong passion for exploration, one that has taken her to countless destinations across the globe. Today, Joy's adventurous spirit remains undeterred. Her solo travels and unrelenting curiosity earned her the prestigious JourneyWoman Evelyn Hannon Award for Solo Travel, celebrating her as a trailblazer for women over 50. As a child, Joy recalled the stories her mother had shared of her voyages to Egypt, China and India with Fox's father, who was a Pipe Major with the Royal Scots. Fox's older brother Alan had often talked of his trips to Venice and the beauty of the city. With those bits. For her 90th birthday this year, Joy has planned another major trip to celebrate this milestone.Taking the Holistic Wealth Personal Financial Identity Quiz Joy recently took the Personal Financial Identity Quiz on the Institute on Holistic Wealth website and identified as a Minimalist - which aligned perfectly with how she has lived her life. For Joy, the quiz reaffirmed the importance of financial resilience and mindful spending, lessons she's carried with her since her wartime upbringing

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit rethinkingwellness.substack.comCognitive psychologist Gordon Pennycook explains the psychological reasons we fall for misinformation, conspiracy theories, and general bullshit (a technical term!). We discuss why people with an analytical cognitive style tend to be more skeptical of alternative medicine and health misinformation, some of the pitfalls of intuitive thinking (and why intuitive eating may actually be more of an analytical or deliberative process), why being skeptical of out-there wellness practices is actually a sign of open-mindedness, why even very smart people can fall for wellness misinformation, and more. Behind the paywall, we get into the difficulty of trusting experts in matters of health and wellness, the importance of thinking critically about science, the attention economy and how it contributes to incentivizing misinformation, how conspiracy theories have touched Gordon's life, his surprising findings about what it takes for people to drop conspiracist beliefs, and the best ways to stop the spread of misinformation.Paid subscribers can hear the full interview, and the first half is available to all listeners.

Atopic dermatitis is the single most common chronic condition in the world, but it's also the most misunderstood and mistreated. People who struggle with it endure years of discomfort, a drop in their quality of life, a revolving door of doctors, reams of blood tests and a multitude of treatments. These treatments often focus on food and finding out what they can stop eating to get better. Though this is well-intentioned advice, it is misguided. The food you eat isn't the root cause of eczema. Growing data show that eczema is what causes food allergies. This changes everything about how eczema is treated, and also how to prevent it in infants. For high-risk babies, early and frequent exposure to food can significantly reduce the chance of atopic dermatitis and potentially set them up for an allergy-free life. In this episode, I'm joined by the Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy, Dr. Stuart Carr. He shares the truth about atopic dermatitis, and why there are more treatment options on the table other than avoiding certain foods and hoping for the best.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Sensitization vs. true allergy  Food sensitivity and allergy are two very different things that often get mixed up. How do doctors determine if you're allergic to something? -The right way to restrict your diet  Many people use elimination diets to try and combat allergies. How do you do this without actually increasing your chance of allergy? -Early and often exposure is key Parents of infants prone to eczema often delay the introduction of certain foods, could this actually make the likelihood of allergy higher? -Food in mouth, but not on skin Atopic dermatitis patients think eating certain foods will trigger a reaction. What actually triggers a reaction?  Guest Bio Dr. Carr has been Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi since January 2019, having spent the previous 20 years in academic clinical allergy practice in Edmonton, Canada.  He was an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Alberta, and is also a Past-President of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and a reviewer for Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, the journal of the CSACI. His primary interests are pediatric asthma, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis, and Dr. Carr is currently involved in a Canada-wide collaboration examining the safety and effectiveness of oral immunotherapy for peanut and other food allergies in preschool children.

A few weeks ago we got the news that Congress was considering directing the military to investigate the potential for adding creatine to MREs. This spurred a lot of discussion on creatine's effectiveness and dosing strategies, and to really get to the bottom of that we needed an expert. Our guest this week is so much of an expert that he is often referred to as "Dr. Creatine." Scott Forbes is an associate professor in the Department of Physical Education Studies at Brandon University in Manitoba, Canada, and an adjunct professor in the faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina in Canada. Dr. Forbes is a certified sports nutritionist through the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) and a clinical exercise physiologist and high-performance specialist through the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP). Dr. Forbes has published over 110 peer-reviewed manuscripts and five book chapters. His research examines various nutritional (e.g., creatine and protein) and exercise interventions to enhance muscle, bone, and brain function in multiple populations, including athletes and aging adults.
