Hey, first! We’re looking for your help. Can you take a couple minutes and fill out our Audience Survey? We’re dying to know more about the community that’s using this show — and about what’s working for you and what you’d like to see. Let us know! Today we’re switching it up. We’re sharing an episode from the new podcast Drug Story. In each episode, science journalist and self-described “public health nerd” Thomas Goetz goes deep on the story of a single drug — what it treats, how it came to be, and what it reveals about the business of health and disease. On this episode: the EpiPen, a device you’ll find in classrooms, on airplanes, in glove compartments — basically everywhere — because the EpiPen can be a literal life-saver for people with severe allergies. And of course, the EpiPen is also one of the most infamous examples of pharmaceutical profiteering gone bananas. That part of the story makes us especially geeked to share this episode. And there are more threads here — on the drug’s discovery, on the science of severe food allergies, and on what researchers have learned about preventing them — that Goetz does a great job of weaving together. If you like it, new episodes of Drug Story come out every week. We’ll be back with more Arm and a Leg in a few weeks. Meanwhile, don’t forget to help us by filling out our quick survey. Here’s a transcript of this episode. Send your stories and questions. Or call 724 ARM-N-LEG. Of course we’d love for you to support this show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Important Warning about Popular Food Allergy Candy Brand Yum EarthYum Earth is a company that's positioned themselves as a top nine, allergy-free candy company. They offer organic candies, dye-free, top 9 allergen -free candies (the top 9 allergens are wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, egg, milk, sesame, fish, and shellfish).Yum Earth has just changed their packaging to note that wheat is used in their processing. This appears on the packaging of their Sour Littles, Gummy Bears, and Jelly Beans. The company responded that they have always used wheat starch as a processing agent but are only now changing their packaging due to FDA labeling requirements.Listen for more info! ---------------------------------------------------------------------Help Make Gluten Labeling a RealityEighty seven other countries require the labeling of Gluten (Wheat, Barley, Rye and Oats). Since 2006, only Wheat has been required to be labeled, but but Barley, Rye and Oats. The US needs to catch up with the rest of these countries.Here's how you can help:The FDA is allowing 60 days for feedback and comments on the RFI. Specifically the FDA is seeking information on adverse reactions due to "ingredients of interest" (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these "ingredients of interest" on packaged food products in the U.S."People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options," said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. "We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices."PLEASE take a few minutes and leave your comment hereI would love to hear from you!

Leading advocate for airline safety measures to protect food-allergic passengers Lianne Mandelbaum discusses her article "When TV shows use food allergy as murder." Lianne examines the dangerous trend in popular media where severe reactions like anaphylaxis are used as plot devices for violence without consequence. She critiques a recent miniseries that portrays food allergy murder as justified and fears this provides a blueprint for real-world bullying and harassment. The conversation highlights heartbreaking stories of loss and the reality that swapping an epinephrine auto-injector or exposing someone to allergens is not a prank but a crime. Lianne urges the public and content creators to understand that misrepresentation validates dangerous behavior and puts vulnerable children at risk.

Nearly 11% of U.S. adults meet criteria for a convincing food allergy, yet most clinicians underestimate both the prevalence and unique challenges of adult-onset disease. This episode addresses the frequent misdiagnosis and clinical uncertainty surrounding new symptoms in adults by highlighting epidemiology, risk factors for delayed and severe reactions, high-yield history-taking, diagnostic pitfalls, and guideline-supported use of specific IgE and component-resolved diagnostics. Listeners will learn to distinguish allergy from intolerance, understand psychosocial burdens, apply evidence-based testing algorithms, and recognize when to refer for oral food challenge or advanced management. With practical insights into differential diagnosis, best practices for test interpretation, and strategies to streamline care in busy settings, this episode equips providers to close the adult allergy diagnosis gap and optimize patient safety.

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.

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.”

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.
