This time around, we have an experimental format, featuring the first episode of a brand-new podcast launching next week, <a href="http://drugstory.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Drug Story</a>.&nbsp;I rarely feature episodes from other shows, but I think this one is well worth your time. It changed how I think about allergies, especially as someone who carries an EpiPen and has wondered: why on earth have food allergies seemed to skyrocket in the last few decades?<a href="http://drugstory.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Drug Story</a> is a podcast that tells the story of the disease business, one drug at a time. Each episode explores one disease and one drug, and it kicks off with EpiPen and food allergies. A quick teaser: What if I told you that a well-meaning medical recommendation may have caused millions of kids to develop food allergies?Make sure to subscribe to Drug Story on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/drug-story/id1852858415" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1rl9jAVecpFAZu23KmAvAR" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a>, or wherever you get your podcasts.
