How to Balance Western Medicine and Alternative Medicine Approaches with Dr. Wada

<p>Dr. Kara Wada is an Assistant Clinical Professor and Associate Fellowship Program Director of Allergy/Immunology at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. She graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine and completed her Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Residency and Allergy/Immunology Fellowship at the Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s Hospital. </p><p>After having completed additional fellowship training in medical education, Dr. Wada is passionate about building meaningful connection and therapeutic relationships with her patients and inspiring future physicians to do the same. She seeks to empower her patients and coaching clients with a naturally-minded and scientifically-grounded approach to care.  She speaks nationally on topics including medical education, allergic and immunologic conditions. Outside of her work, she is an autoimmune patient, a food allergy mom of 2 spunky daughters, and wife to another Dr. Wada.  </p><p>Cheryl Crow is an occupational therapist who has lived with rheumatoid arthritis for seventeen years. Her life passion is helping others with rheumatoid arthritis figure out how to live a full life despite arthritis, by developing tools to navigate physical, emotional and social challenges. She formed the educational company Arthritis Life in 2019 after seeing a huge need for more engaging, accessible, and (dare I say) FUN patient education and self-management resources. </p><p>Links to things discussed in the episode:</p><ul><li>Where to find Dr. Kara Wada<ul><li><a href="http://www.crunchyallergist.com/">www.crunchyallergist.com</a></li><li><a href="http://www.instagram.com/crunchyallergist">www.instagram.com/crunchyallergist</a></li><li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/crunchyallergist">www.facebook.com/groups/crunchyallergist</a></li><li><a href="http://www.twitter.com/crunchyallergy">www.twitter.com/crunchyallergy</a></li><li>Clubhouse @crunchyallergy</li></ul></li><li><a href="https://www.aaaai.org/about-aaaai/allergist-immunologists-s
