Sometimes it's obvious what is causing your seasonal allergies. Maybe the cottonwood fluff is all around when your symptoms are worse and it's clear to you year after year. But perhaps it's not so obvious...

Lab testing can provide critical information about common allergens. Although skin prick can be used, most patients prefer a blood test for seasonal allergies. Blood testing looks for IgE antibodies. These antibodies are specific for what you are allergic to.

Since you don't know what you are allergic to, and symptoms are not different between allergens, doctors order a panel that is specific to the part of the world you live in, casting a "wide net" to see what the results are. Here in the Pacific Northwest we are in "Region 17" for testing.

We're here to help you through this process, from evaluating symptoms, through ordering and evaluating labs, to creating a treatment plan. Give us a call to get scheduled.

It's possible to have a runny nose and symptoms that seem like seasonal alleriges without having seasonal allergies. The most common is a respiratory infection such as the common cold. Another possible reason is that the side effects of some medications can be the same as, or overlap with, alleriges!

Many people don't know that their medications might cause seasonal allergy sympoms, or even make them worse. If you suspect this, check in with your doctor for guidance as it may still be best to take the medication even if it causes side effects.

Here are some lifestyle tips that can help reduce your allergy symptoms through supporting your liver.

You may be wondering WHY supporting your liver reduces allergy symptoms.

Although your liver has many jobs, importantly, your liver clears histamine from your body. The more efficient your liver is at clearing histamine, the less histamine you have in your body causing sniffling, sneezing, red eyes and other irritating symptoms.

Nettles (sc’ədᶻx̌ac or c’ədᶻx̌ac in Lushootseed) are a traditional food in the PNW. Nettles are abundant in our low elevation forests, and easily harvested for your use. Nettles can be identified by their "square" arrangement of leaves as viewed from above. Nettles sting bare skin, which is why they are often referred to as Stinging Nettles. If you aren't sure if a plant is nettles, brush your finger on a leaf and you'll know!

Nettles arrive right on time for seasonal allergies. As a supplement, select freeze dried nettles. Some people find that eating nettles regularly each spring reduces their allergy symptoms significantly, and in time can eliminate allergies. If you harvest them yourself you may eat them as you would any cooked green, or steep as an herbal infusion (tea). I love to harvest and eat them each spring. My favorite recipe is a delicious blanched nettle/sunflower seed pesto. It freezes well to enjoy later in the year. My second favorite is to finely chop blanched nettles and mix into the ricotta cheese of my lasagna. Be sure to towel dry your blanched nettles well for either recipe or it will end up soggy.

After a somewhat unusual winter, it's starting to feel like spring!

For many of us, spring means allergies. If you typically notice spring allergies there are an abundance of ways you can support your body along with, or instead of taking an antihistamine medication. Follow along with our next few posts to learn more about seasonal allergies and how to manage them.

Have you noticed that produce tastes better "in season"?

Think of spring asparagus, summer berries, fall apples and winter squashes.

Produce in season not only tastes better, but is more affordable.

The first suggestions are perfect for everyone!

If you're considering adding supplements, check in with your doctor to learn what doses are appropriate for you. Some supplements have safe upper limits to be aware of as they can cause adverse effects when you take too much over time.

If you're interested in health, you've probably been hearing ALL ABOUT PROTEIN for a while (and with good reason!) Depending on our health goals, most of us need to eat 25-40g of protein in each meal.

But what about CARBS? What requirements do we have for carb intake? Read on to learn more!

I know, it's Halloween and you've had a few "snack" size candies.

If you're curious how sugar affects the immune system, there's a lot to the story!

Consuming excessive amounts of sugar can weaken the immune system by suppressing immune function, altering immune cell composition, promoting inflammation, disrupting the gut microbiome. Whew!

A little sugar now and then won't create these changes in your immune system, eating it frequently will. Scroll back for a few behaviors that help support immune system health and be sure to focus on these if you're imbibing the Halloween candy.

Acutally, I think it's all of the above.

It's the season of respiratory viruses, most likely you know someone who is sick right now!

You might notice a connection between not getting enough sleep, not getting enough nutrients, not getting enough movement and falling ill. That connection is a reality because those practices make it harder for your immune system to fight off viruses.

We're here to help guide you if you are struggling with any of these behaviors to help you create the best immune system possible this cold and flu season.
