The number one question I get asked is "Why are food allergies on the rise?" For years the hygiene hypothesis stood out as the answer, but scientists are discovering it's more complex than that. And no, it's not your fault.
While there is no cure to food allergies, this field of discovery is active and ongoing. Breakthrough research is providing new insights we can even apply to our lives as we navigate life with food allergies.
In this episode we cover facts about food allergies, the latest research honing in on why food allergies are on the rise, and what we can do about it.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
