They either have one or two or three, or they know someone or live with someone who does.

Dr. Zachary Rubin has been my guest.

He's a double board certified pediatrician and allergist immunologist in the Chicago area.

And he is author of the book called All About Allergies.

everything you need to know about asthma, food allergies, hay fever, and more.

And there's a link to his book at Amazon in the show notes.

Doctor, thank you so much.

I appreciate you coming on.

Thank you so much.

Have you ever promised yourself, I'm not going to do that again?

And then you do.

You stay too long.

You drink too much.

You say yes when you mean no.

You stay quiet when you know you should speak up.

And then afterwards, you're not just frustrated, you're confused because it's not like you didn't see it coming.

So why do smart, self-aware people keep repeating behaviors that make them unhappy?

It turns out these patterns are not random.

They're learned, reinforced, even rewarded in subtle ways.
