  • Lost and frustrated mom

    I have only listened to one episode and I know I am going to learn so much. My daughter has moderate chronic eczema due to environmental allergies. She is literally allergic to grass! She loves to play soccer and it’s been a very difficult road the last few years. She is only 10 and still learning how to take care of herself. My mother has lived with the same condition her whole life and I want my daughter’s quality of life to be so much better and different. I’m hoping to learn more about aller... more

  • Best allergy podcast

    This has been such a great podcast, great content and well produced with information that is helpful for both allergists and patients. As an allergist, I like the recent review podcast on tepolizumab and CRSwNP, looking forward to future episodes.

  • Love it!

    Hi!

    I am ten years old and I know this sounds weird but one of my major hobbies is itchiness. I do not have any condition that causes itchiness, but I have loved itchiness since I was three years old. This podcast is great thank you so much for making it

  • Much needed info

    It’s amazing to find all of this hard-to-find info in one place. My only small issue is that they repeat the same explanations almost word for word 2-3 times in a row.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#152 - How to Advocate for Better Healthcare
Q: Is PALI designed to help ordinary people engage with the health policy system and advocate effectively?
Yes. PALI teaches the fundamental language and concepts of health policy, provides tools to discuss issues with insurers and lawmakers, and offers live webinars and on-demand content to help people participate in policy discussions and advocacy.
#152 - How to Advocate for Better Healthcare
Q: What is an advocate exactly?
An advocate is someone who notices a problem and wants to bring about change, potentially as an individual, a group, or an entire industry, and who works to ensure patients are represented and supported in decisions and policy.
#149 - What is Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyps
Q: Anju, can you just tell the audience exactly what you mean by immunodeficiency?
Immunodeficiency in CRS-SNP refers to a subset of patients whose immune systems are weaker or less effective at producing protective immunoglobulins, which increases risk for recurrent viral or bacterial sinus infections and may justify immune workups and targeted vaccination strategies.
#149 - What is Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyps
Q: So Dr. Blaise, can you tell us what a typical chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps patient would look like?
A typical CRS-SNP patient has long-standing nasal congestion, discharge, facial pressure, and possibly reduced sense of smell for at least 12 weeks, with inflammation evident on exam or imaging; symptoms are chronic rather than due to a single infection, and management often involves confirming inflammation rather than assuming a bacterial cause.
#148 - How Do You Know Your Chronic Hives Are Under Control?
Q: What tools can help track progress besides patient memory?
The UAS-7 scoring system provides an objective measure from 0 to 42, and sleep trackers or partner observations can offer additional objective data.
