Course Description

The Allergies course explores the growing impact of allergic conditions on overall health and quality of life, examining them through a holistic, faith-informed lens. Students will learn to distinguish clearly between true allergies, food sensitivities, and intolerances, while gaining an understanding of how environmental, dietary, and lifestyle factors contribute to allergic responses.
