How do you help your child go from knowing they have a food allergy to actually managing it in everyday life? This is the stage when everything starts to shift. Between the ages of 5 and 11, your child is learning how to describe symptoms, speak up at school, and navigate birthday parties. They're also watching you closely and picking up how to talk about food allergies based on how you do it. In this episode of our Food Allergy Stages & Stages Series, pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Dave Stukus joins Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta to talk about how food allergy care changes in the early school years. What we cover in our episode about managing food allergies in ages 5 to 11: Build awareness early. Teach kids to name their allergens, recognize symptoms, and use simple words to describe how they feel. Model safe behavior. Kids learn by watching you read labels, ask questions, and stay calm. Normalize epinephrine. Practice with a trainer and talk about it openly so it feels familiar, not scary. Prepare for real-life situations. From school to parties, give kids scripts and strategies to feel confident and included. Support emotional wellness. Watch for signs of anxiety and help your child feel empowered, not afraid. Episode 4 in our “Food Allergies: Ages & Stages” series Across six episodes, we explore how food allergies show up and shift through different phases of life, from introducing solids in infancy to navigating school and adapting in adulthood. We're here with evidence-based info, expert insights, and lived experience to guide you through it all.

Are you still hearing that you should wait days between introducing new foods—or that food causes eczema? Are you stressed about feeding your baby the top 9 allergens? In this episode, I sit down with pediatric allergist Dr. Dave Stukus to bust the biggest myths about food allergies. We're talking real science, not fear: when to introduce allergens, why elimination diets can do more harm than good, and what's actually driving the rise in allergies today. We discuss: Early allergen introduction helps prevent food allergies. Food doesn't cause eczema—here's what actually does. Vaccines don't cause allergies—here's what's behind the rise.

Hey Food Allergy Mama, If you've been running on empty, pushing through the never-ending list of what your child needs to stay safe, this episode is for you. I'm not here to talk about bubble baths or mani-pedis—because let's be honest, that kind of self-care doesn't touch the mental weight we carry. I'm sharing what happened when my body finally told me to slow down. I got sick with more than a cold or flu. Nothing too serious, but it was enough to make me stop, reflect, and realize just how much I'd been carrying. If you've been brushing off your own needs, thinking you'll deal with them later, this episode will remind you how important you are. I hope this episode is your source of encouragement and kindness this Mother's Day. I'm cheering for you! Corinna Food Allergy Mentor and Travel Advisor Next Steps: 1.

Listen to today's podcast... Allergies occur when the immune system becomes unusually sensitive and overreacts to common substances that are normally harmless, such as pollens, molds, dust or even food. Food allergies are serious business. They impact over 2.6 million Canadians. Everyone is entitled to a safe working environment. Unlike many conditions, anaphylaxis is not visible unless someone is having an allergic reaction. That is why it is extremely important to communicate about your food allergies before a reaction occurs. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Food Allergy Awareness Week: Be open about your food allergies. It's important that your co-workers and boss know about them. Always carry at least one auto-injector on the job. It's better to have two in case you need a second dose during an allergic reaction. Educate co-workers. Your co-workers may have no experience with food allergy. Teach your co-workers how to prevent reactions from happening, recognize the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction and how to use an epi pen properly. Say thanks. Make sure your colleagues know that you appreciate their support. Those who don't have food allergies can help by understanding the condition and doing their part to create a safe environment to prevent serious reactions from occurring. Simple things like washing your hands well and often. It is one of the most effective ways to prevent cross-contamination as well as the spread of general viruses and bacteria.

Physical therapist and food allergy advocate Lianne Mandelbaum discusses her article, "Flying with food allergies: Combating misconceptions and advocating for safety." Sharing harrowing personal experiences with dismissive airline staff that ignited her advocacy work with No Nut Traveler, she highlights the pervasive fear and inadequate safety measures faced by food-allergic passengers globally. Lianne discusses concerning findings, such as a study showing 31 percent of passengers sometimes don't disclose allergies fearing penalties, over a third experiencing unprofessional staff behavior, 70 percent not receiving promised accommodations, and over 12 percent being removed or denied boarding. The conversation critiques misleading media coverage, the dismissal of non-fatal reactions, the alarming lack of required easy-to-use epinephrine (like auto-injectors or nasal sprays) in many airline medical kits as of 2025, and insufficient allergen labeling on U.S. flights. Lianne urges passengers to report incidents and calls upon airlines for better policies and training, and the medical community to counsel patients proactively and advocate strongly for systemic changes, including mandatory epinephrine stocking.

X: @thefoodbabe @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Vani Hari, food activist and a MAHA Leader working with HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. The conversation highlights Vani Hari's important work as a MAHA leader in the efforts to create clean food ingredients and remove artificial foods dyes harming Americans, and especially children. On the eve of the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second administration, Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-hosts of America's Roundtable were invited by The White House Media Affairs Team for an exclusive Madia Row event in Washington, D.C. Also known as the "Food Babe," Vani Hari has spent over a decade sounding the alarm on the concerns of deceptive practices which are occurring in the food industry. According to the White House, some 30 million estimated number of American children were adversely affected with health conditions in 2022 and 3.4 million children are on ADHD medication. Further details from Vani Hari: ✔️ 1 in every 13 children have food allergies in the U.S. - which is about 2 children per classroom. ✔️ Food allergies in children increased approximately 50% between 1997 and 2011. ✔️ Every 3 minutes, a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room. ✔️ New cancer cases in the U.S. increased by 36.3% between 2000 and 2021. According to critics of large food companies, there is an interesting correlation between the changes brought to the kitchen table and throughout fast food locations and restaurants with certain food ingredients (which are banned in Europe and other places around the world) and the cost of healthcare in America. The Peterson Center on Healthcare established by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation states: "Health spending totaled $74.1 billion in 1970. By 2000, health expenditures had reached about $1.4 trillion, and in 2023 the amount spent on health more than tripled to $4.9 trillion." americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @thefoodbabe @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Did you know you could potentially reduce your baby's risk of developing food allergies by up to 80%? That's the power of early allergen introduction. Feeding a baby the top 9 allergens consistently starting between 4 to 6 months can make a life-changing difference. We're launching a brand-new series about food allergies at various stages of life. Whether you're just starting solids, navigating a new diagnosis, or in a new stage of life, this series is here to support you with evidence-based tips and real talk. In this first episode, Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta explore how to potentially prevent food allergies before they even develop. Why do you want to know more about introducing allergens to baby? For years, parents were told to wait until toddlers were older before introducing allergenic foods. But groundbreaking research, including the LEAP, LEAP-On, and PETIT studies, turned that advice on its head. We no longer wait to feed babies food allergens. Instead, early (around 4–6 months) and sustained exposure to top allergens like peanut and egg is recommended for all babies. In this episode, Dr. G and Kortney explain the studies, walk you through how to do it safely, and bust common myths that leave parents confused or anxious. What we cover in our episode about early allergen introduction Why guidelines changed: Learn how the LEAP & PETIT studies reshaped allergy prevention. How to introduce the top 9 allergenic foods safely, including forms that are appropriate for infants. What “sustained exposure” means and how often to serve allergens after that first taste. How eczema increases allergy risk and what transcutaneous sensitization means. What allergic signs to watch for: mild hives vs. serious allergic reactions and when to call the doctor.

Do you or a loved one suffer from heartburn, acid reflux, or a hiatal hernia? In this episode, I welcome Lisa Robbins for a discussion on the homeopathic approach to chronic digestive discomfort. Lisa breaks down the distinctions between occasional heartburn and the more serious gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as the complications of hiatal hernia. She contrasts the conventional use of antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with the holistic, long-term healing potential of homeopathy. You'll hear why homeopathy addresses the root causes of imbalance—whether it's poor diet, stress, pregnancy, medications, or even inherited tendencies—and how it helps the body restore balance from the inside out. In this episode, we discuss: What makes homeopathy different from conventional treatment for digestive issues The body's warning signs: reflux, ulcers, and other gut-related symptoms How food allergies and emotional triggers impact your digestive health Why listening to your symptoms—rather than silencing them—is the first step to healing The role of constitutional remedies in treating GERD and hiatus hernia naturally ✨ Explore More or Book a Chat:

Are food allergies higher in the West than the East? UK-based listener Jude wants to know the answer. Her daughter-in-law Min didn't know anyone with food allergies when she was growing up in South Korea and thinks that they're not so common there. Host Alex Lathbridge investigates. Along the way, he finds out what makes us sensitive to food allergies and how much that depends on our environment. He volunteers to have an allergy test, learns what triggers food allergies and tries to discover what lies behind their increase around the world. Alex talks to some of the leading experts on food allergies in search for an answer to our listener's question: Paul Turner breaks down what happens in our bodies when we have an allergic reaction; Jennifer Koplin explains why Australia tops the league table for food allergies and Michael Levin reveals what he found out in his ground-breaking research in South Africa comparing urban and rural populations. We also hear from Hana Ayoob, who grew up in Singapore and the UK, who describes what it's like to suffer from multiple food allergies and describes the difference in cultural attitudes. Finally, we turn to Sooyoung Lee in South Korea to see if our listeners are right about the difference in rates for food allergies between East and West.

Story at-a-glance Vitamin E supports a healthy pregnancy — Vitamin E intake during pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of food allergies in newborns by stabilizing immune responses and lowering histamine levels Vitamin E alters histamine production — Researchers found that α-tocopherol, a specific form of vitamin E, prevented severe allergic reactions by reducing the release of histamine, the chemical responsible for swelling, itching and anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) Infants get the benefits of vitamin E immediately — Babies with genetic skin barrier weaknesses, such as those linked to eczema, are more likely to develop food allergies, but vitamin E helps reinforce immune regulation and reduce their risk Vitamin E doesn't interfere with your body's natural processes — Vitamin E supplementation during pregnancy influenced newborn immune responses without suppressing other necessary immune functions, meaning it helps prevent allergies without weakening overall immunity Simple dietary changes have big impact — Eating more pasture-raised eggs, grass fed beef liver, avocados, and wild-caught fish will provide the necessary levels of vitamin E to support immune balance in both mother and baby

New Research on Food Allergy Prevention Indicates Crucial Timing of Allergen Introduction Current research shows that how we feed babies during infancy can help reduce the risk of food allergies. However, feeding guidelines regarding allergens have changed radically in the past decade, so it's important to make sure we're not following outdated advice that doesn't align with new research. In addition, infant feeding guidelines in general have also changed. To address these updated guidelines and help parents navigate all the latest research and the process of starting solids, Malina Malkani recently released an evidenced-based baby-led feeding guide and cookbook that makes it easy to feed your baby with confidence, introduce allergens early and consistently, and offer delicious, stress-free meals the whole family will enjoy. Tune into this episode to learn about: ● Why food allergy prevention strategies are necessary for all babies, not just those at increased risk ● What the current research shows about best practices to reduce the risk of food allergies ● How infant feeding guidelines have changed regarding food allergies and in general ● The risk factors for developing food allergies ● What the top food allergens are ● What it means to offer top allergens early, often and consistently ● How to safely feed common allergens that may be a choking hazard ● Recommended first foods for baby-led weaning or baby-led feeding ● How food allergies disproportionately affect low-income families ● What we know about how food allergies develop ● The difference between baby-led weaning and traditional spoon feeding ● What age to start solids ● Clarification regarding the 4-6 month window for starting solids ● Malina's new book that addresses these issues and provides family friendly recipes ● Other resources for parents and health professionals Full shownotes, transcript and resources: https://soundbitesrd.com/282
