Ahhh, allergy season. All that sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose… no, thank you. And combine those symptoms with the fact that we don’t often know what we can safely take or do during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and you have basically an allergy disaster. Yuck.

Enter today’s conversation. In this episode, Dr. Owen Wiseman is back, and this time he and Laura are discussing allergies. They talk about natural and effective ways you can reduce your allergy symptoms, and even ways you can prevent them altogether. They also talk about stress and lack of sleep and how those can affect our immune system. And Dr. Owen tells us about some supplements that are safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding to reduce those pesky allergy symptoms.
