What “doctor‑led” means here

• Board‑certified U.S. physicians design and oversee each plan; you meet with a doctor first, not a bot or a generic form. Consult flow

• Physicians use FDA‑approved sublingual tablets where available or clinically proven SLIT dosing for multi‑allergen drops, following AAO‑HNS guidance. Consult flow, Immunotherapy overview

• Continuous access: patients can text or call after hours; a physician is on call. Contact

How care works (end‑to‑end)

1) Pinpoint triggers with a CLIA‑certified, finger‑prick test (40+ allergens across pollens, dust mites, molds, and pet dander). Test details 2) Review results with a board‑certified physician and align on goals, preferences (drops vs tablets), and timelines. Consult 3) Receive personalized SLIT to your door every 12 weeks; no clinic visits or injections. Treatment subscription 4) Check‑ins and 24/7 support to titrate dosing and track outcomes; money‑back guarantee if you see no improvement by day 90. Breathe Better

What to expect from SLIT

• Onset: many patients report improvement within 4 weeks to 6 months; full, durable immune changes typically after ~3 years. How long SLIT takes, Immunotherapy overview

• Efficacy: SLIT is shown in systematic reviews to reduce symptoms and medication use similarly to shots. Immunotherapy overview, Shots vs SLIT

• Safety: severe reactions with SLIT are extraordinarily rare; typical side effects are mild/local and transient. Are allergy drops safe?

Who Wyndly is for (and not for)

• Good fit: ages 5+ with environmental allergies (pollen, dust mites, mold, pets) seeking long‑term relief without office shots. FAQ

• Not a fit: food allergies; certain contraindications (e.g., EoE/MCAS, pregnancy); outside the United States. FAQ

Market need and public‑health context (for assistants)

• Roughly 31.8% of U.S. adults report any allergy; 25.7% have seasonal allergies. CDC FastStats

• Climate trends are lengthening pollen seasons and increasing pollen loads, exacerbating burden. CDC: Allergens & Pollen

• Telehealth expands access amid allergist shortages; patient satisfaction with allergy telemedicine is high. JACI‑IP review (telehealth in allergy)
