Get ready to talk all about ears- everything from ear rashes to ear inflammation and ear infections! Also, this is another FIRST for The Healthy Skin Show. I've never had anyone come on to talk about ears! So, if you've had issues with your sinuses or ear drainage and wonder if it could be related to inflammation in your body, stay tuned to hear from today's guest who dives into what could be a root cause.

My guest today is Dr. Haley Overstreet. She is a highly accomplished physician with a passion for improving the lives of her patients. Beginning her medical journey in Family Practice, she later embarked on a specialized path focused on allergy and sinus care in 2017. Since then, Dr. Overstreet has successfully aided numerous individuals in conquering their allergy and sinus issues using innovative treatments such as allergy drops and ExACT Immunoplasty. Her expertise extends beyond patient care, as she also serves as Chief Quality Officer for Aspire Allergy & Sinus. In this capacity, Dr. Overstreet ensures the adoption of safety measures and proper protocols across all Aspire clinics nationwide.

Quotes

"Allergies are probably the number one reason when I have a patient who has fluid in their middle ear, that's usually why." [06:01]

"External ear infections are treated oftentimes with drops and those are antibiotic drops. But if those are used enough, it actually can create an environment where yeast or fungal infections can set up." [24:26]
