Episode Details:

Seasonal allergies can bring more than just sneezing and watery eyes. For many, they impact focus, sleep quality, and overall quality of life. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Dr. Emily explains how a natural approach can help reduce symptoms and improve resilience during allergy season.

The conversation explores why allergies occur, the role of the immune system, and how environmental triggers affect the body. Dr. Emily shares practical, natural strategies for relief—ranging from diet and hydration to targeted supplements and breathing exercises. She also explains how certain lifestyle adjustments can help minimize allergen exposure and support the body’s natural defenses.

Listeners will learn why timing matters when preparing for allergy season, and how consistent daily practices can make symptoms more manageable. For example, simple changes in your home environment, such as using HEPA filters or adjusting ventilation, can reduce pollen exposure. Nutritional choices, like incorporating anti-inflammatory foods, can also play a role in symptom control.

This episode encourages listeners to think beyond over-the-counter medications and consider a more holistic plan for long-term relief. Dr. Emily emphasizes that every person’s triggers and responses are unique—making a personalized approach key to effective management.
