The Truth About Allergies: It’s Not Just Pollen

Every spring, millions of people start sneezing, sniffling, and feeling miserable, and most of them have no idea why it’s happening or what they can actually do about it.

In this episode, I break down the real reasons behind seasonal allergies, and it’s not just about pollen. We dive into histamine, chronic inflammation, and how stress, poor sleep, and even your gut health can make your immune system overreact to things that should be harmless.

I also talk about practical strategies I’ve used myself to get off the allergy-med hamster wheel. From daily movement and controlled exposure, to prebiotics, omega-3s, nasal rinses, and even local honey, I cover the full picture. This isn’t a “quick fix” episode, it’s about understanding how to actually train your immune system to respond better over time.

If you’ve ever felt like your allergies are getting worse, or if you’re tired of depending on meds that don’t solve the root issue, this episode is for you.

Let’s rethink how we approach allergies—through science, lifestyle, and a little common sense.
