Flying With Food Allergies: What Airlines Won't Tell You with Lianne Mandelbaum
Think you know what to expect when flying with a food allergy? Think again. Airline labeling laws, emergency kit contents, and pre-boarding rights are not what most passengers assume — and the gaps in protection are bigger than you'd think.Dr. Doug sits down with Lianne Mandelbaum, founder of No Nut Traveler and airline correspondent for Allergic Living, to break down what every food allergy family needs to know before their next flight. Lianne has spent over a decade advocating for safer air travel after her son was bullied for his peanut allergy at the Denver airport — and United Airlines refused to help. They cover which airlines will (and won't) accommodate you, why you should never eat an airline meal, how co-factors like stress, fatigue, and altitude can lower your reaction threshold, and what's actually inside those emergency medical kits (spoiler: not what you'd hope). Plus, the latest DOT ruling that limits pre-boarding rights to only peanut and tree nut allergies — and why Lianne is fighting to change it.🩺 Become a patient at GAIN: myimmunenetwork.com📱 Follow Dr. Doug Jones: @drdougjones on Instagram and TikTok🌐 Learn more: drdougjones.com

The Food Allergy Treatment Menu: Picking What's Right for YOUR Kid with Dr. Tom Chacko and Dr. Farah Khan
Your kid has a food allergy — and you've been told to "just avoid it." But what if there are other options nobody told you about?In this episode, Dr. Doug Jones is joined by Dr. Tom Chacko and Dr. Farah Khan for an unfiltered roundtable on the food allergy treatments available right now: oral immunotherapy (OIT), sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), and omalizumab (Xolair). They break down who each treatment is best for, debate real patient cases, and get into an honest disagreement about when a biologic makes more sense than daily dosing. This isn't a scripted overview — it's three allergists with different perspectives hashing it out in real time. Whether your child is a toddler just diagnosed or a teenager managing allergies through high school, this episode will help you understand what questions to ask and what options might be on the table.🩺 Become a patient at GAIN: myimmunenetwork.com📱Follow Dr. Doug Jones: @drdougjones on Instagram and TikTok🌐 Learn more: drdougjones.com

The Mental Side of Food Allergies No One Talks About with Dr. Amanda Whitehouse
What if the hardest part of living with food allergies isn't the food — it's what's happening in your mind and body?In this episode, Dr. Doug sits down with Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, a psychologist and food allergy mom of 15 years, to talk about something most people in the food allergy world don't fully address: the mental and emotional toll. Amanda shares her own journey navigating her son's food allergy diagnosis, seeking out OIT treatment before it was mainstream, and ultimately turning her experience into a career helping other families cope. Together, they break down the difference between food allergy anxiety and actual trauma — and why that distinction matters more than you think. Amanda explains the therapeutic tools available (CBT, ACT, exposure therapy, somatic work, and nervous system regulation) and why finding the right provider relationship is just as important as picking the right treatment. They also get real about the emotional weight providers carry and how compassion — not just empathy — is the key to avoiding burnout. Whether you're a food allergy parent feeling overwhelmed by treatment options, a patient carrying years of unprocessed fear, or a provider looking for better ways to support your patients, this episode is one you don't want to skip.🩺 Become a patient at GAIN: myimmunenetwork.com📱 Follow Dr. Doug Jones: @drdougjones on Instagram and TikTok🌐 Learn more: drdougjones.com

EOE: The Allergic Disease Hiding Behind 'Picky Eating' and Anxiety
Your kid won't eat, seems anxious around food, or keeps getting food stuck. You've done allergy testing—it's normal. But something's clearly wrong. It might not be a typical food allergy at all. It might be eosinophilic esophagitis, and it's way more common than most doctors realize.In this episode, Dr. Doug Jones breaks down EOE—think of it as asthma, but in your esophagus. Unlike traditional allergies, standard allergy tests miss it completely. The symptoms shift depending on age: babies refuse feeds, kids eat slowly and seem anxious, adults end up in the ER with food stuck. Dairy and gluten are the usual culprits, and seasonal pollen can make it worse.The real game-changer? Understanding that dilation without treating the root cause is a Band-Aid, not a cure. Plus, Dr. Jones clears up the myths about IgG panels and "gut healing" supplements that prey on desperate parents. If you've been told your child has a behavioral eating problem or anxiety issue, this conversation might change everything.🩺 Become a patient at GAIN: myimmunenetwork.com📱 Follow Dr. Doug Jones: @drdougjones on Instagram and TikTok🌐 Learn more: drdougjones.com

What Happens When a $4,000 Peanut Butter Gets Pulled? With Dr. Adam Fox
What happens when a licensed peanut allergy treatment gets pulled from the market — not because it didn't work, but because nobody could afford it? Dr. Adam Fox, Professor of Pediatric Allergy at King's College London, joins Dr. Doug Jones to unpack that exact scenario and what it means for families on both sides of the Atlantic.This episode gets into the real-world consequences of how healthcare systems shape treatment. In the UK, the National Health Service approved Palforzia for peanut oral immunotherapy — then put zero funding behind it. Fewer than 100 children across the entire country received it through the NHS. Meanwhile in the US, allergists were already treating patients effectively with real food, making a pharmaceutical peanut powder feel unnecessary. Now that Palforzia is being pulled, the ripple effects look very different depending on where you live. Dr. Fox and Dr. Jones also talk about what's driving the global collaboration movement in food allergy treatment, how the right mindset can change a patient's OIT outcome, and why the grass isn't always greener when it comes to US vs. UK medicine.🩺 Become a patient at GAIN: myimmunenetwork.com📱Follow Dr. Doug Jones: @drdougjones on Instagram and TikTok🌐 Learn more: drdougjones.com

What Integrative Medicine Actually Is (And What It's Not) with Dr. Gary Soffer
Integrative medicine and functional medicine get used like they're the same thing — but they're not. And the difference matters more than you think.In this episode, Dr. Doug Jones sits down with Dr. Gary Soffer, a pediatric allergist and immunologist at Yale School of Medicine who also holds a fellowship in integrative medicine — and who started his career scouting bands for Atlantic Records. Together they break down what integrative medicine actually means (hint: the NIH defines it), why it's not about secret lab tests or proprietary supplement blends, and how simple mind-body practices like journaling, spending time in nature, and getting better sleep can genuinely move the needle on your health.They also get into the state of medicine right now — from the daily battle with AI-driven insurance denials to the growing political divide around health — and why the real fix might be simpler than we think: just getting people in a room together to talk.🩺 Become a patient at GAIN: myimmunenetwork.com Follow Dr. Doug Jones: @drdougjones on Instagram and TikTokLearn more: drdougjones.com Subscribe: Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube

Science vs. Pseudoscience: How to Spot the Difference Fast
“Science” gets used to sell everything these days—tests, supplements, fear, certainty. But real science is simple at its core: it’s a method for asking questions and testing answers against evidence.In this episode, Dr. Doug Jones breaks down the scientific method (observation → hypothesis → testing → analysis → replication → revision) and gives you practical red flags for spotting pseudoscience quickly—especially the kind that hides behind technical jargon, emotional anecdotes, and distrust of doctors.

The Backup Plan You Didn’t Know You Had
Two years ago, Dr. Doug Jones’ life was saved by something he didn’t even know he had: an anomalous coronary artery—a built-in backup plan that kept him alive when his LAD (“widowmaker”) artery was blocked. Even as a doctor doing “all the right things,” his symptoms were misread, early tests looked normal, and in hindsight he’d had two silent heart attacks.In this episode, Dr. Doug shares what that experience taught him about self-advocacy, finding the right clinician, and why healing rarely follows a checklist. He also connects the lesson to anyone living with food allergies or chronic illness: the unseen resilience, the constant adapting, and the strengths you’ve built that may be protecting you in ways you don’t even recognize yet. As we head into a new year, this is a reminder to keep pursuing solutions, guard yourself from misinformation, and honor how far you’ve already come.Want more from Dr. Doug?• Clinical care (GAIN): myimmunenetwork.com• Speaking & education: drdougjones.com
