A podcast for those who want a map to ditching city life on a budget and without having to figure out the process from scratch. Learn how to save the funds, assess and buy land, build a healthy home and grow your own produce--without becoming a professional homesteader. Because let's face it, canning is pretty intimidating! I will still buy my crushed tomatoes in a jar tyvm.

In this episode, I share the journey that is prompting us to seek and build a life outside of the city.

Allergies
Watch: Robyn O'Brien | TEDxAustin 2011

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention reports that the prevalence of food allergy in children increased by 50 percent between 1997 and 2011.
Between 1997 and 2008, the prevalence of peanut or tree nut allergy appears to have more than tripled in U.S. children.

It appears a shift towards an urbanized lifestyle, either as a result of rising economic growth or migration, is associated with development of food allergy. Studies on migration, in particular, highlight the important interplay of ethnicity and the environment.

Researchers behind the study, published in the journal Thorax, evaluated data from more than 10,000 people living in 14 countries. Adults who grew up on farms were less likely to respond to allergens and have nasal symptoms of allergies, according to the study. These adults were also 54% less likely to have asthma or hayfever.

Researchers remain unsure what drives the correlation between spending childhood on a farm and the development of allergies, though they speculated that exposure to certain microbes, air pollution and physical activity could all play a role.
