Summary

We go live on TikTok for a rapid-fire “health potpourri” Q&A—how to talk to science skeptics, why flu season feels brutal (and what the vaccine still does), sun-sneezing (yes, it’s real), iodine nasal sprays, hormones + new allergies in midlife, mast cells/stress hives, and how to spot fake “food sensitivity” tests. Evidence-forward, funny, and zero individualized medical advice.
