In this episode of The College of Glycation, Dr. Paul Reynolds explores a surprising connection between sugar chemistry and your allergies. Building on previous discussions about glycation’s role in chronic disease, he dives into how advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can damage epithelial barriers, activate inflammatory pathways, and turbocharge allergic responses—from seasonal sneezing to asthma flare-ups.

Dr. Reynolds also connects the dots between insulin resistance, processed foods, and immune overactivation, revealing how metabolic dysfunction may be silently amplifying your symptoms. Backed by peer-reviewed science and practical strategies, this episode offers a fresh perspective on why your allergies may be worse than they should be—and what you can do about it.
