• Ep. 280: Why FAACT's Food Allergy Awareness Month Campaign Is for You
    May 6 2026

    This year, FAACT’s Food Allergy Awareness Month campaign is “Invisible No More: Food allergies may be unseen, but they should never be unnoticed.”

    It’s a powerful reminder that while food allergies aren’t always visible, the daily effort to stay safe is very real.

    So how do we raise awareness for something we can’t always see—and better support one another along the way?

    To help us shine a light on this important campaign, we’re joined by allergy advocate and former President of the Utah Food Allergy Network, Amanda Bee.

  • Ep. 274: Specialized Nutrition for Pediatric Food Allergy Management
    Mar 25 2026

    The dietary management of food allergies includes identifying the allergen that triggers a reaction and avoiding foods that contain that allergen. As a result, children with dietary restrictions due to food allergies may be at risk for inadequate nutritional intake. We sat down with Andie Lee Gonzalez, Senior Pediatric Medical Science Liaison with Abbott Nutrition Medical Affairs and Research, who describes the role of specialized nutrition support and why it’s important in the dietary management of food allergies.

  • Ep. 273: Food Allergy Travel - Unexpected Situations
    Mar 18 2026

    Traveling with food allergies happens every day for thousands of families. But as many of us know, travel takes planning—and even the best plans don’t always go the way we expect. Flights get delayed, restaurants change menus, and sometimes we’re asked to make quick decisions in unfamiliar places. So how do we prepare not just our travel plans, but also our mindset? How do we build the confidence and coping skills to stay calm and pivot when the unexpected happens? Joining us to talk about navigating travel and those unplanned moments is psychologist and Founder of The Food Allergy Hive, Elizabeth Hawkins, PhD, MPH. She’ll help us explore how to develop a healthier, more flexible travel mindset.
