Allergist <a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/sayantani-sindher">Tina Sindher</a> acknowledges that allergies may be affecting more people worldwide, influenced by a combination of factors such as environmental changes, modern lifestyles, urbanization, and evolving dietary habits. Prevention is playing catch-up, and promising new strategies include earlier food introduction than was popular only a few years ago. On the treatment front, hopes are rising for immunotherapies and a new prescription medicine, omalizumab, that addresses multiple allergens at once. While no single approach helps all, these strategies could allow millions worldwide to better manage their allergies, Sindher tells host <a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/russ-altman">Russ Altman</a> on this episode of Stanford Engineering’s The Future of Everything podcast. Have a question for Russ?
