Welcome back to That’s So Chronic! Today’s episode is with Dr Kara Wada, MD, and we are discussing her diagnosis of Sjogren’s syndrome and her work as an allergist, immunologist, and lifestyle medicine physician.
In this episode Dr Kara shares her diagnosis story, as well as the symptoms that - with hindsight - are also pieces of the Sjogren's puzzle. She explains what Sjogren’s is (spoiler: it isn’t the name of a table at IKEA), her symptoms, and how she manages them. This leads us nicely into chatting more about her work as an allergist, immunologist, and lifestyle medicine physician, as well as what “Become Immune Confident” means to her.
Oh! And she also gives me all the details about Dr America - a pageant for Doctors. This (as well as Sjogren’s actually!) was something that I know not a lot about so I was really excited to learn more!
