Finding the Balance with Loni and Christine
Loni and Christine are physician assistants (PA) with backgrounds in Emergency Medicine and Primary Care who currently work as professors in higher education. Loni, seeing the end of the wellness line in the ER, and Christine, trying to prevent it in the office, have joined forces in discussing the topics of disease prevention and what it means to be well. Far beyond the bounds of a medical office, we are passionate about improving health literacy and increasing awareness of the daily changes we can make to maximize the quality of our lives. Finding the balance between the "coulds," "shoulds," and "woulds" of life is a quest worth embarking on. We do not have all the answers, but life is about the journey, and we look forward to sharing ours with you.

Episode 19: The Truth About Food Sensitivities: Debunking the Myths of IgG Testing
In this episode, we dive into the world of food sensitivities and explore the growing popularity of IgG testing as a diagnostic tool. Many people turn to these tests hoping to uncover the root cause of digestive discomfort, headaches, fatigue, and other symptoms - but is there solid science backing this trend? Join us as we break down the difference between food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities and discuss why IgG testing might not be the answer. We'll explore what the research says (and doesn't say) about the accuracy of these tests and the potential harms of relying on them for dietary decisions. Whether you're considering taking an IgG test or just curious about food sensitivities, this episode will help you navigate through the noise and make informed choices about your health.
