Summary
We often think of allergies as simple reactions, but some conditions reveal a far deeper conversation between the immune system, environment, and daily life—one that evolves with every exposure. In this conversation with Rebecca Chrestman, we explore Alpha-Gal syndrome through both modern understanding and Chinese medicine, looking at how patterns like damp heat and spleen imbalance help make sense of complex, multi-system symptoms. We discuss the realities of treatment—not quick fixes, but gradual shifts in reactivity, lifestyle, and resilience. We also touch on the emotional and practical impact of living with a condition that reshapes how you eat, live, and move through the world. Listen in for a conversation that brings together clinical insight, traditional thinking, and the lived experience of navigating a truly modern illness.
