134 | ALPHA GAL – EPISODE 3: TREATMENT, TOLERANCE, AND THE EAR NEEDLE EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT

You've been diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome — now what? In the final episode of the series, Andrea and Ashley get into the practical side: how to actually manage this thing, from individualized avoidance and tick-bite prevention (yes, that's part of treatment too) to emergency planning, symptom management, and the emerging — and genuinely interesting — question of whether desensitization is possible. They also dig into SAAT, Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment, the specialized auricular acupuncture protocol generating serious buzz in the alpha-gal community, where a tiny semi-permanent needle in your ear may lead to eating a burger again. A 2021 case series reported a 96% symptom resolution rate — so what do we actually make of that?This episode doesn't oversell anything. It also doesn't dismiss anything. It's an honest look at where the science is, what patients are reporting, and how to think about reintroduction safely — especially if your history includes anaphylaxis.📬 Reach us:Andrea – [email protected] | www.rmhealthpartners.comAshley – [email protected] | www.karvefitness.co
