  • 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.

#156: Is Your Asthma Worse Than It Should Be? Signs of Uncontrolled Asthma
Q: Dr. Mora, what does good asthma control mean beyond not needing a rescue inhaler frequently?
Good control means adequate oxygen delivery to the lungs and body, minimal symptoms, and avoiding disruptions to daily life; it also involves evaluating inflammation and considering whether current meds sufficiently reduce swelling in the airways.
#154 - What Providers Need to Know About Uncontrolled Asthma
Q: Dr. Zachary, can you tell us what are the patients that doctors should be looking out for who are most likely to have uncontrolled asthma?
The patients most likely to have uncontrolled asthma include Afro-American and Puerto Rican-American populations, with Black American females and certain pediatric groups at greater risk; clinicians should use probing questions to confirm control and not miss symptoms, especially in populations with historically higher risk.
#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.
