| 5/26/26 | When AI meets the allergy clinic | “AI might feel like magic at times, but mostly it's just powerful technology, and with any technology, it's a tool.” —Merlijn van Breugel AI is no longer a future-tense possibility for allergists. It is already shaping diagnosis, prediction, documentation, patient communication, and the way clinicians think through complex decisions. But if AI can process more than we can, what still belongs to the clinician? On this episode of The Allergist, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Merlijn van Breugel,... | 27m 26s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | The Expanding Toolbox for Food Allergy | “It’s a fun time to be a food allergist”—Dr. David Fleischer Food allergy treatment is no longer just about avoidance, epinephrine, and hoping for the best. With high-dose OIT, low-dose OIT, SLIT, EPIT, Xolair, and other biologics entering the conversation, allergists now face a more practical question: what are we trying to achieve, and what approach best fits this patient and family? On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. David Fleischer, section head of allergy and immunology a... | 28m 24s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | Evidence-Based or Autopilot? A review of systematic reviews | “We need more than just random care. We need randomized care.” — Dr. Derek Chu For years, the allergy world has been drowning in a sea of data—risk factors, prevention strategies, and enough diagnostic tools to fill a warehouse. But how do you translate 340 different risk factors into a cohesive plan when an anxious parent is sitting in your clinic demanding a skin test for their four-month-old?. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by "systematic review genius" Dr. Derek Chu to unpack... | 26m 09s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | Microbiome in IEI, Much More Than Probiotics | “We came up with the idea of testing a ketogenic diet… which in mice, it’s basically a lot of Crisco… giving a keto diet to mice with CGD… led to a decreased susceptibility to colitis.” —Dr. Emilia Liana Falcone The microbiome isn’t something sitting on the sidelines. It’s part of the immune system, interacting with the barrier, shaping responses, and, in IEI, reflecting the underlying defect. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. Emilia Liana Falcone, physician-scientist and dir... | 26m 24s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | Small Risks Big Rewards with SCIT | “This is a safe and very effective therapy, which is probably underutilized within our own community.” —Dr. Susan Wasserman Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) sits in that uncomfortable space between routine and risk. It’s one of the few interventions in allergy that can actually modify disease. But it also carries a small, very real risk of severe reactions. On this episode, Dr. Susan Wasserman, professor at McMaster University and a national leader in immunotherapy, walks through what safety... | 28m 22s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | Rewriting the Immune Code | "So the future is one IV infusion, likely no chemotherapy, and that'll cure our IEIs." — Dr. Nicola Wright For children born with inborn errors of immunity, bone marrow transplant has long been the closest thing medicine had to a cure. It works — but it comes with chemotherapy, graft-versus-host disease, and a donor search that doesn't always end well. Gene therapy is changing that calculus. Dr. Mariam Hanna speaks with Dr. Nicola Wright, a pediatric hematologist and clinical immunologist at ... | 28m 13s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 | Consent is a Conversation | "That wholesome conversation that you take a minute or two to go through really creates a physician-patient relationship, expands that communication. Probably will not only improve patient outcomes, but reduce medical-legal risk for physicians in the consent process." — Dr. Lisa Thurgur A signed form isn't consent. It's paperwork. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. Lisa Thurgur — emergency physician, award-winning educator, and a physician advisor with the Canadian Medical P... | 24m 51s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | Infant anaphylaxis: What it looks like when they can't tell you | "I have come across allergists in different countries who often don't even prescribe epinephrine for very young children that have only had a history of mild reactions." — Dr. Katherine Anagnostou An inconsolable cry. A baby who's just not acting right. Tongue thrusting. Lip licking. Scratching at their own tongue. These aren't the symptoms that make it into standard diagnostic criteria — but they might be the clearest signal a non-verbal child can give. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is j... | 28m 25s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | The many faces of milk problems | “There is nothing magical that happens in your gut that says, ‘oh, now you’re ready for cow’s milk.’ — Dr. Farah Khan Milk has a special talent for creating chaos in clinic. One day it’s mucousy stools and a terrifying diaper photo, the next it’s hives after yogurt, delayed vomiting with lethargy, or a family that’s been dairy-free for years with no improvement in eczema. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by pediatric allergist and clinical immunologist Dr. Farah Khan to walk throug... | 29m 17s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | Developing that immunology spidey sense | “It’s not about knowing each one. It’s about knowing the patterns, the warning signs, the general pathways, and knowing when to ask a friend when you’re a little bit lost.” —Dr. Tamar Rubin On this episode of The Allergist, Dr. Mariam Hanna turns the focus to how allergists LEARN to recognize when common presentations may signal a deeper immune problem — and how that diagnostic instinct is built, taught, and sustained. She’s joined by Tamar Rubin, pediatric allergist and clinical immuno... | 26m 37s | ||||||

| 1/6/26 | Highlights from the 2025 allergy literature | Keeping up with the allergy literature can feel like a second job layered onto an already full clinic day. Between evolving guidelines, expanding biologic options, and long-held assumptions quietly being challenged, it’s hard to know which papers are worth slowing down for. This episode takes a deliberately selective approach. Dr. David Khan — chair of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology literature review — walks through five papers from 2025 that stood out not because the... | 34m 04s | ||||||
| 12/23/25 | ENCORE: New Rules for Old Hives | == Happy holidays to our audience around the world! As a gift, and a break for The Allergist team, we are replaying our most popular episode from 2025. We hope you enjoy it as much this time around. See you in the New Year! == “We have to keep in mind that urticaria has to be treated until it's completely gone. So, absolute control of the disease.” — Dr. Hermenio Lima Chronic spontaneous urticaria has long been managed with the goal of complete symptom control. But for many patients, th... | 27m 01s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | Nutrition and food allergy with Dr. Carina Venter | “We should stop being scared of food, and we really should just let babies eat.” — Dr. Carina Venter Dr. Mariam Hanna sits dow... | 27m 59s | ||||||
| 11/25/25 | Managing the Confident but Incorrect | “It's kind of like we opened a Pandora's box and trying to close it up again is going to be very hard.” —Dr. Zachary Rubin Dr. Zachary Rubin joins Dr. Mariam Hanna for a candid look at the “difficult and misinformed” patient — the growing phenotype every allergist now manages weekly. A double board-certified pediatrician and allergist-immunologist with a massive social media footprint, Dr. Rubin breaks down how misinformation spreads, why it resonates, and how clinicians can approach these en... | 26m 58s | ||||||
| 11/11/25 | Can sinusitis be solved? The view from the ENT clinic | “People know that asthma sucks. They don’t know that sinus disease sucks. It really impacts people's quality of life. It impacts their function. It needs to be taken very seriously.” — Dr. Andrew Thamboo Chronic sinusitis doesn’t just clog the nose—it can drag down quality of life, complicate asthma, and leave patients caught between specialists. Dr. Mariam Hanna talks with Dr. Andrew Thamboo, rhinologist at St. Paul’s Sinus Centre in Vancouver and clinical associate professor at UBC, about h... | 24m 46s | ||||||
| 10/28/25 | Tregs: The Peacekeepers of Immunity | “The immune system generally likes to be a well-balanced machine. It’s kind of like Goldilocks — too much is no good, too little is no good, and it’s finding that balance.” Dr. Vy Kim Tregs have been called therapists, peacekeepers, and now—thanks to this year’s Nobel Prize—front-page immunology. Dr. Vy Kim joins Dr. Mariam Hanna to unpack why these cells might hold the key to everything from tolerance to therapy response, and what allergists should be watching for next. How Tregs bridg... | 23m 26s | ||||||
| 10/14/25 | A Clear-Eyed Look at the Red-Eye Culprit | “Don't just rely on the textbook definition of when the pollen seasons are. You need to have reliable data to know when the pollen seasons are starting, when they're ending, and when they're peaking.” Dawn Jurgens Allergy season may be winding down, but for allergists, the work never really stops. This is the moment between ragweed and winter — a brief respite before the cycle begins again. On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dawn Jurgens, Director of Operations and Quality M... | 28m 00s | ||||||
| 9/30/25 | Standard Vaccines And Special Cases | “Vaccine counseling is really a team sport. — Dr. Anne Pham-Huy Vaccines can stir anxiety for patients and confusion for clinicians, especially when biologics enter the mix. Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. Anne Pham-Huy, clinical immunologist at CHEO, member of the Special Immunization Clinic Network, NACI member, and chair of Immunize Canada. Together, they break down the science of vaccine responses and tackle some of the trickiest questions allergists face in daily practice. On this epis... | 28m 07s | ||||||
| 9/16/25 | No to Olive Oil, Yes to What Works in Eczema Care | “Atopic dermatitis is not just about what you see on the skin. It's about what the patient's experiencing.” Dr. Melinda Gooderham Eczema care has become a world of creams, cleansers, oils, and myths — but what actually works? Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. Melinda Gooderham, assistant professor at Queen’s University and consultant physician at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre. As principal investigator for more than 250 clinical trials, Dr. Gooderham brings both evidence and practic... | 28m 35s | ||||||
| 9/2/25 | Solving the Mystery of Mastocytosis — Tests, Treatments and Triggers | “You will think it is mastocytosis much more often than you'll actually diagnose mastocytosis.” — Dr. Matthieu Picard Mastocytosis is rare, complex, and often confused with other mast cell disorders. To help clinicians cut through the confusion, Dr. Mariam Hanna welcomes Dr. Mathieu Picard, allergist and clinical immunologist, who has built a dedicated practice caring for patients with mast cell diseases. Together, they explore what physicians need to know about diagnosis, monitoring, and man... | 28m 13s | ||||||
| 8/19/25 | Finding the Fix for Chronic Cough | “At least 60% don't respond to anything or who have been to somebody else before and they've come to me and they've tried everything and failed” — Dr. Imran Satia Dr. Imran Satia, Respirologist and Associate Professor at McMaster University and Canada Research Chair in Chronic Cough, joins Dr. Mariam Hanna to walk clinicians through a practical, evidence-based approach to diagnosing and managing chronic cough.

| 8/5/25 | Going viral for the right reasons: join the fight against misinformation | “Putting yourself out there online as a doctor is not easy. But staying silent while misinformation spreads—that felt worse.” —Dr. Amiirah Aujnarain Dr. Amiirah Aujnarain has built a community of 80,000 followers by blending evidence-based allergy education with a candid, human presence online. On this episode of The Allergist, she joins Dr. Mariam Hanna to examine how social media is shaping allergy conversations—sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

| 7/22/25 | The GI Guide for Allergists: A Deep Dive with Dr. Avinashi | “I can’t think of any medical condition where you can have this type of fry but not that type of fry.” —Dr. Vish Avanashi Pediatric gastroenterologist Dr. Vish Avinashi joins Dr. Mariam Hanna for an episode that jumps head first into the overlapping world of allergy and GI. From ARFID to EOE, they talk about the murky middle ground where food fears, immune triggers, and gut symptoms collide—and how allergists can better navigate it all with the help of a friendly gastroenterologist. How to re... | 31m 03s | ||||||
| 7/8/25 | What Allergies to Expect When You’re Expecting | “They may worsen, they may improve, or they might not change at all, and it really is patient-dependent.” —Dr. Lana Rosenfield On this episode of The Allergist, Dr. Mariam Hanna welcomes Dr. Lana Rosenfield to unpack the complexities of managing allergic conditions during pregnancy and postpartum.
