Raise the Line A Trusted Voice on Allergies and Asthma: Dr. Zachary Rubin, Pediatric Allergist-Immunologist at Oak Brook Allergies
“I do not believe we should be testing to test. We have to know, is this test going to change management and is it going to make a difference,” says pediatric allergist-immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin. His knack for providing that sort of straightforward guidance explains why Dr. Rubin has become a trusted voice on allergies, asthma, and vaccines for his millions of followers on social media platforms. It’s also why we couldn’t ask for a better guide for our discussion on the rise in allergies, asthma, and immune-related conditions in children, and how families can navigate the quickly evolving science and rampant misinformation in the space. On this episode of Raise the Line, we also preview Dr. Rubin’s new book, All About Allergies, in which he breaks down dozens of conditions and diseases, offering clear explanations and practical treatment options for families.
Join host Lindsey Smith for this super informative conversation in which Dr. Rubin shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics including:
- What’s behind the rise in allergic and immune-related conditions.
- Tips for managing misinformation, myths and misunderstandings.
- How digital platforms can be leveraged to strengthen public health.
- How to build back public trust in medicine.
