“We should stop being scared of food, and we really should just let babies eat.”                                                                                                          — Dr. Carina VenterDr. Mariam Hanna sits down with Dr. Carina Venter, a leading dietitian and researcher in food allergy prevention and management. They get into the everyday realities of feeding infants and children in allergy practice, from early introduction to texture challenges, growth concerns, and the rise of allergen-free processed foods.On this episodeHow nutrition supports the microbiome and immune system, and helps clinicians navigate the anxiety common in food-allergy clinics.Practical early-feeding strategies: pairing low-allergen foods with allergens, starting early, and keeping allergens in the diet once introduced.How to approach families whose infants reject certain textures or flavours, and realistic ways to incorporate allergens like egg and peanut.Why baby-led weaning may not work well for allergenic foods, especially in babies with eczema.Nutritional red flags: milk allergy, multiple food allergies, and texture delays that warrant dietitian referral.Concerns about ultra-processed allergen-free products and how emulsifiers may affect gut health.This episode brings nutrition back to the centre of allergy practice. Dr Venter's guidance keeps things practical — diverse diets, consistent allergen exposure, and attention to growth and texture — so families can feel confident and kids can learn to enjoy food safely.Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

This week, we kick off a 4-part series on the #1 killer in America by talking about the problem of Cardiovascular Disease.   In this episode, you'll discover:—How Cardiovascular Disease was identified as the #1 killer back in the 1950's and is STILL the #1 killer today, which Dr. Prather says "raises some questions".—The two top competing theories about the underlying cause of Heart Disease among researchers back in the 1970's.  And why Dr. Prather believes the winning theory of Cholesterol as the main cause is wrong.—The dangerous side effects of anti-cholesterol Statin drugs and why patients come to Dr. Prather seeking alternatives. —How Cholesterol is in our bodies for healing and is "there to save your life".  And the connection between those who live over the age of 100 and an overall Cholesterol level of 300.—The Cardiac C-Reactive Protein Test that is "probably the best indicator of whether you're going to have a heart attack or not". —The four main things Dr. Prather says are the real cause of Cardiovascular Disease:  Inflammation, Oxygenation and Nutrient Deprivation,  Electrical Conduction Disruption from Nerve and Mineral Issues, and Food Allergies.—How Inflammation is the cause of Vascular Disease.  And how that Inflammation increases when you try to "artificially" lower Cholesterol levels. —Why the Coxsackie B Virus is so prevalent in Indianapolis and can lead to Cardiovascular Disease. —How the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Adjustment can have a bigger effect on Hypertension than Prescription High Blood Pressure Medication. —Why Dr. Prather says "the heart can actually regenerate in an amazing type of way" and that he did not even expect to see the things he has seen in his office with all the positive changes in patients. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.comReceive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

Food allergy advocate Lianne Mandelbaum discusses her article "Why Hollywood's allergy jokes are dangerous." As the mother of a child with a life-threatening food allergy, Lianne shares her personal trauma and outrage over media portrayals that turn anaphylaxis into a punchline, citing a new film that misrepresents the condition and the use of epinephrine. She argues that these "jokes" are not harmless; they directly contribute to public misunderstanding, bullying, and a dangerous lack of seriousness from airlines, schools, and restaurants. This conversation explores how media misinformation increases the burden on allergy families and why treating a medical trauma as comedy puts lives at risk. Learn why accurate media depictions are not just about respect, but are a critical public health issue. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- According to reporting from Robert Jimison of The New York Times, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he believes the Epstein bill will be voted on in the Senate quickly, without any amendments. He explained, “when a bill passes 427 to 1, and the president says he'll sign it into law, I'm not sure there's going to be a need or desire for an amendment process.” 4:15pm- While speaking with the press, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was asked why Democrats didn't release the Epstein files when they were in power. Meanwhile, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said Schumer should be replaced as leader—suggesting Chris Murphy, Cory Booker, Brian Schatz, and Elizabeth Warren would be better suited for the position. 4:30pm- While speaking at a Turning Point USA event, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. questioned why there has been a sudden uptick in food allergies over the last 30 to 40 years. “There's a different view of what could be happening in this country. We need to figure out what's causing it and eliminate it.” He continued: “Five of my seven children have allergies. What happened? Something happened. And it appears to have happened sometime around 1990…So, you have to look at an environmental toxin.”

Responding to a question from a listener named Deanna, Leyla explains the different types of antinutrients—such as phytates, oxalates, tannins, lectins, goitrogens, and phytoestrogens—and their potential impacts on nutrient absorption.

Leyla also shares practical food preparation tips for mitigating the adverse effects of antinutrients and emphasizes the importance of dietary variety.

Avoidance has long been the standard for managing food allergies. But new options, such as oral immunotherapy (OIT) and biologic medications like Xolair (omalizumab), are changing the landscape. With more choices available, many patients and parents are wondering how to start the conversation with their allergist and what questions to ask. Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta talk with Dr. Shahzad Mustafa, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, about how patients can navigate today's food allergy treatments with confidence. Together, they explore what to consider before starting OIT or Xolair, how to set realistic expectations, and why strict avoidance is still the right choice for many families. What we cover about food allergy treatment options: Food Allergy Avoidance: Why it remains an effective and valid approach for many, and how to make it work in daily life, including the nuances that make every case unique. Oral Immunotherapy (OIT): What it involves, who it's best suited for, and what families should know about time, cost, and safety. Xolair (omalizumab): How this injection therapy works to reduce reactions from accidental exposures and what it doesn't do. Setting expectations: How to talk with your allergist about your goals, quality of life, and what “success” really looks like.

Can anxiety about food safety quietly shape the way an entire family eats, lives, and loves? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller, LMFT, talks with Tamara Hubbard, LCPC, founder of The Food Allergy Counselor and The Academy of Food Allergy Counseling. Together, they explore how food allergy anxiety can affect both children and parents, sometimes leading to ARFID-like eating patterns and significant emotional distress. Tamara shares her journey from being a parent of a child with a peanut allergy to becoming a national leader in the field of food allergy mental health. She discusses how chronic fear and misinformation can cause families to become trapped in cycles of hypervigilance and restriction. She and Dr. Marianne also examine how therapy can help families move toward flexibility, autonomy, and connection at the table. Listeners will hear how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based approaches support parents in balancing safety with freedom, and how addressing anxiety can improve both emotional well-being and quality of life. Key Topics Covered The difference between food allergies and food intolerances and why accurate understanding matters How food allergy anxiety can spread through families and mimic ARFID symptoms The role of parental fear in shaping a child's own food relationship and daily life The risks of restriction-based medical advice, including some functional medicine practices How ACT and mindfulness tools can help parents tolerate fear and stay connected to their values Ways to calm the fight-or-flight response and reduce hypervigilance around food and safety Why collaboration between therapists and allergists creates stronger, safer support for families Who This Episode Is For This episode is for parents and caregivers who want to understand how food allergies, anxiety, and ARFID intersect in family life.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Carolina Schneider, MS, RD.

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients.
