Podcasts about food allergies

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most common questions from parents: Can kids really heal from food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities? Dr. Tony explains that food reactions aren't just about the gut or immune system—they're fundamentally a nervous system regulation issue. He breaks down the critical connection between the vagus nerve, digestive function, and immune tolerance, explaining how subluxation creates a cycle of immune overreaction and gut dysfunction. Dr. Tony outlines a healing approach that prioritizes nervous system stability through chiropractic care, followed by functional medicine interventions. He emphasizes that healing is absolutely possible but requires time, the right sequence of care, and combining both approaches for exponential results—what he calls "one plus one equals 11.-----Links & ResourcesReferenced Episodes:How Dairy & Grains Can Actually Be a Health Food w/ Jordan Rubin [Apple/Spotify]Complete Gut Healing: Why Diet Changes & Detox Don't Always Work [Apple/Spotify]Referenced Providers/Organizations:https://mywellrooted.com/https://documentinghope.com/----Key Topics & Timestamps05:00 Understanding allergies vs. sensitivities and intolerances08:00 The vagus nerve: The boss of digestion and immune tolerance13:00 Sympathetic dominance: Why the immune system is always on high alert17:00 These kids aren't broken—they're stuck in a pattern18:00 Step one: Adjust the subluxation and restore nervous system regulation24:00 Functional medicine components: Gut lining, microbiome, inflammation, detox27:00 One plus one equals 111: Combining chiropractic and functional medicine29:00 Neurological soft signs of healing to watch for31:00 Final encouragement: Healing is a process and miracles are possible-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Send us a textThis week we're heading into week three of the challenge, and I want to talk about something subtle that can quietly make everything feel harder—your energy, your focus, your patience, even your progress. I've been thinking a lot about how often we push through discomfort without ever stopping to ask why it's there. And how, as women who manage full lives and full calendars, we're incredibly skilled at overriding ourselves instead of listening.In today's shorty episode, I invite you to slow down just enough to notice what your body has been trying to tell you all along. This is about strength without force, awareness without judgment, and learning how to trust yourself again in a world that constantly asks you not to. If you've ever felt like something was “off” but couldn't quite put your finger on it, this conversation is for you.Quote of the Week:“The body is your instrument.

Welcome to our very first Natural Super Kids Podcast episode of 2026! We hope you've had a beautiful festive season with your family, wherever you are in the world. ❄️☀️This week on the podcast, we're kicking off a new series with a topic so many parents are quietly struggling with: why eczema and allergies are becoming more common in kids (affecting almost 30% of children) and what actually helps beyond creams and avoidance.If your child has eczema, food sensitivities, hay fever, asthma, or “reacts to everything,” this episode will help you zoom out and understand what's really going on inside their immune system without blame, guilt, or overwhelm.Have a listen as we break down the bigger picture behind rising allergy rates, explain why this isn't something you caused, and introduce a more hopeful, long-term way to support your child's health from the inside out.In this episode, we explore:Why eczema and allergies are so common in kids today, and why this rise can't be explained by genetics alone.How modern lifestyles affect the immune system, including what the hygiene hypothesis really means (and what it doesn't).The role of the gut and microbiome in eczema and allergic disease, and why immune regulation matters more than suppression.What parents can realistically influence at home, even when wider environmental factors feel out of your control.

As parents, we expect the occasional food reaction. Maybe a rash, some fussiness, or a tummy ache. But what happens when your child suddenly becomes violently ill hours after eating something they've had before, and no one seems to know why? That was my reality when Jasper had this kind of reaction to shrimp. Inside this episode, I'm digging into: What FPIES is and how it differs from IgE-mediated food allergies Common trigger foods and why reactions can show up hours later Our experience with Jasper's shrimp reaction (and what we learned from it) How to navigate fear around food after a reaction Why trusting your instincts and advocating for your child matters --- Show Notes: Sign up for a 1:1 Discovery Call Join the Imperfectly Paige Wellness Community Join the Compass Method DIY Program Jump inside my Rock the Bloat Minicourse Get my Core-Gi Workout Program with the exclusive listener discount!

This time around, we have an experimental format, featuring the first episode of a brand-new podcast launching next week, Drug Story. I rarely feature episodes from other shows, but I think this one is well worth your time. It changed how I think about allergies, especially as someone who carries an EpiPen and has wondered: why on earth have food allergies seemed to skyrocket in the last few decades?Drug Story is a podcast that tells the story of the disease business, one drug at a time. Each episode explores one disease and one drug, and it kicks off with EpiPen and food allergies. A quick teaser: What if I told you that a well-meaning medical recommendation may have caused millions of kids to develop food allergies?Make sure to subscribe to Drug Story on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also simply go to DrugStory.co and learn more.The host is Thomas Goetz. He is a senior impact fellow at the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health, and much earlier, Thomas was the executive editor at WIRED, which he led to a dozen National Magazine Awards from 2001 to 2013.

Reading food labels can feel like a full-time job when you or your child has food allergies. Even when you know what to avoid, labels can still be confusing, especially when you run into “may contain” warnings. Marion Groetch, a registered dietitian with decades of experience in food allergy care and education, joins us to unpack all things food labels. Together, we break down U.S. allergen labeling laws, what parts of the package actually matter, and why “may contain” statements are a much grayer area than most people realize. We also share practical tips for navigating so-called “mystery ingredients” like natural flavors and oils, when it is worth contacting a manufacturer, and how to avoid being more restrictive than necessary while still staying safe. What we cover in our episode about food labels: What U.S. labeling laws require: How FALCPA and the FASTER Act protect families by requiring clear disclosure of the Top 9 major allergens. Where allergy information actually lives on a label: Why the ingredients list and “Contains” statement matter most, and why front-of-package claims should be ignored. What “may contain” actually means: Why these statements are voluntary and unregulated, and what that means for real-world decision-making. Foods that fall outside labeling laws: Common situations where allergen labeling is not required, including deli foods, restaurant meals, airline meals, and alcohol. How to avoid over-restricting your diet: Practical guidance on mystery ingredients, higher-risk products, and when contacting a manufacturer actually makes sense. ___ Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

Food allergy advocate Lianne Mandelbaum discusses her article "Why Hollywood's allergy jokes are dangerous." As the mother of a child with a life-threatening food allergy, Lianne shares her personal trauma and outrage over media portrayals that turn anaphylaxis into a punchline, citing a new film that misrepresents the condition and the use of epinephrine. She argues that these "jokes" are not harmless; they directly contribute to public misunderstanding, bullying, and a dangerous lack of seriousness from airlines, schools, and restaurants. This conversation explores how media misinformation increases the burden on allergy families and why treating a medical trauma as comedy puts lives at risk. Learn why accurate media depictions are not just about respect, but are a critical public health issue. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- According to reporting from Robert Jimison of The New York Times, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he believes the Epstein bill will be voted on in the Senate quickly, without any amendments. He explained, “when a bill passes 427 to 1, and the president says he'll sign it into law, I'm not sure there's going to be a need or desire for an amendment process.” 4:15pm- While speaking with the press, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was asked why Democrats didn't release the Epstein files when they were in power. Meanwhile, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said Schumer should be replaced as leader—suggesting Chris Murphy, Cory Booker, Brian Schatz, and Elizabeth Warren would be better suited for the position. 4:30pm- While speaking at a Turning Point USA event, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. questioned why there has been a sudden uptick in food allergies over the last 30 to 40 years. “There's a different view of what could be happening in this country. We need to figure out what's causing it and eliminate it.” He continued: “Five of my seven children have allergies. What happened? Something happened. And it appears to have happened sometime around 1990…So, you have to look at an environmental toxin.”

Avoidance has long been the standard for managing food allergies. But new options, such as oral immunotherapy (OIT) and biologic medications like Xolair (omalizumab), are changing the landscape. With more choices available, many patients and parents are wondering how to start the conversation with their allergist and what questions to ask. Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta talk with Dr. Shahzad Mustafa, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, about how patients can navigate today's food allergy treatments with confidence. Together, they explore what to consider before starting OIT or Xolair, how to set realistic expectations, and why strict avoidance is still the right choice for many families. What we cover about food allergy treatment options: Food Allergy Avoidance: Why it remains an effective and valid approach for many, and how to make it work in daily life, including the nuances that make every case unique. Oral Immunotherapy (OIT): What it involves, who it's best suited for, and what families should know about time, cost, and safety. Xolair (omalizumab): How this injection therapy works to reduce reactions from accidental exposures and what it doesn't do. Setting expectations: How to talk with your allergist about your goals, quality of life, and what “success” really looks like.

For decades, peanut allergies were on the rise in the US. But a study released on October 20 found that peanut allergies in babies and young children are now decreasing. This drop correlates with a change in guidance from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In 2017, the agency started recommending exposing children to peanuts “early and often.” Since that recommendation, the prevalence of peanut allergies has dropped significantly.Sharon Chinthrajah, a physician specializing in allergies and immunology, churns through the findings with Host Flora Lichtman.  Guest: Dr. Sharon Chinthrajah is a physician specializing in allergy and immunology at the Sean N.
