ALLERGIES

Overview

Around 30% of adults in the U.S suffer from allergies, yet many do not seek professional help or receive an accurate diagnosis. Having allergies means your immune system reacts to certain substances (allergens) as though they are harmful, leading to symptoms that can affect your quality of life. This reaction can significantly impact both your professional and personal life.

Every year, numerous adults struggle with the effects of undiagnosed allergies. Studies have shown that individuals with allergies often face misunderstandings and misconceptions, resulting in feelings of frustration, low self-esteem, and anxiety about their condition.
