In this episode, Dr. Kara Wada, known online as The Immune Confident MD, joins the podcast to discuss immune complexity from both the physician and patient perspective. Dr. Wada is a board-certified allergist, immunologist, lifestyle medicine physician, food allergy mom, and Sjogren's patient.

Living with Sjögren’s disease and dysautonomia herself, Dr. Wada shares how personal experience reshaped her approach to allergy and autoimmune care. We explore the intersection of conventional and integrative medicine, the emotional realities of navigating chronic illness, and the importance of compassionate, patient-centered care.

We also discuss intra-lymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT), a lesser-known but evidence-based allergy treatment that differs from traditional subcutaneous immunotherapy. Dr. Wada explains how ILIT works, who it may be appropriate for, and why it remains less widely available despite promising research.

This episode expands the conversation around immune health and personalized treatment pathways.
