Type 2 Inflammation
Type 2 Inflammation is an overactive immune response that drives many chronic allergic and inflammatory diseases. It connects conditions across the skin, lungs, and gut—like asthma, atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and eosinophilic esophagitis—through shared pathways of immune system dysfunction.

Podcast Episodes about Type 2 Inflammation
Curated for you! We’ve organized our episodes to start with the basics and go deeper as you listen.
-
Learn how immune “party planners” like Th2 cells and “text-message” cytokines orchestrate Type 2 inflammation—and how pinpointing this pathway can guide biologic treatments for asthma, eczema, and beyond.
-
Explore the connection between Type 2 inflammation and the clustering of allergic conditions, and why aggressive treatment aimed at the root inflammation may reduce comorbidities.
-
Discover how Type 2 inflammation underlies eczema, asthma, food allergies, and hay fever in kids—and why early treatments like immunotherapy and biologics might stop the allergic march before it starts.
-
Explore what it takes to reach control in Type 2 inflammation—including biologics, lifestyle tweaks, and regular check-ins—to reduce flare-ups and improve quality of life.
