About this listen
This week, Dr. Kahn reviews a strange and increasingly common condition affecting nearly half a million Americans: Alpha-Gal Syndrome, also known as red meat allergy. First described in 2009, this syndrome can cause serious allergic reactions and is often misdiagnosed—despite the fact that a simple blood test can confirm it.
The condition is triggered by bites from certain ticks, most notably the Lone Star Tick. Because many vitamins, medications, and medical products contain animal-derived components, reactions can even occur in medical and dental settings. Learn more at PillClarity.org.
Short topics this week include: whole grains for lower blood pressure, lifestyle approaches to prevent atrial fibrillation, the fasting-mimicking diet and exercise for reversing prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes, and new trends in U.S. heart disease statistics.
