    15- Allergies treatment using holistic functional medicine approach Dr. Martin Gallagher

    In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Martin Gallagher discusses the rising prevalence of allergies and their complex relationship with the immune system, liver health, and gut microbiome. He emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to treatment, including lifestyle modifications, desensitization techniques, and the role of hormonal changes in allergic reactions. The discussion highlights the need for integrative medicine to address the root causes of allergies rather than just treating symptoms. Takeaways Allergies are increasingly common and can range from mild to life-threatening. The immune system's IgE response is just one part of the allergy picture. Chronic exposure to allergens can lead to hypersensitivity and delayed reactions. Liver health is crucial for detoxification and managing allergic reactions. Gut health significantly impacts overall health and immune function. Holistic approaches, including lifestyle changes, can help manage allergies. Desensitization therapies can effectively reduce allergic reactions over time. Hormonal changes during menopause and andropause can influence allergy susceptibility. Meditation and mindfulness can help regulate the immune response. Integrative medicine focuses on treating the whole person, not just symptoms.
