This time around, we have an experimental format, featuring the first episode of a brand-new podcast launching next week,\u00a0Drug Story<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>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?<\/p>\n

Drug Story<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is 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?<\/p>\n

Make sure to subscribe to Drug Story<\/em> on\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0Spotify<\/a>, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also simply go to\u00a0DrugStory.co<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and learn more.<\/p>\n

The host is\u00a0Thomas Goetz<\/a>. He is a senior impact fellow at the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health, and much earlier, Thomas was the executive editor at WIRED, which he led to a dozen National Magazine Awards from 2001 to 2013. His writing has been repeatedly selected for the Best American Science Writing and Best Technology Writing anthologies.<\/p>\n

P.S.\u00a0<\/strong>To help you kick off 2026, I recommend checking out Henry Shukman, a past podcast guest and one of the few in the world authorized to teach Sanbo Zen.\u00a0Henry\u2019s app,\u00a0The Way<\/strong><\/a>, has changed my life. I\u2019ve been using it daily, often twice a day, and it\u2019s lowered my anxiety more than I thought possible.
