In honor of both Food Allergy Awareness Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, I was thrilled to welcome Amanda Whitehouse, licensed psychologist, food allergy anxiety and trauma expert, host of the Don't Feed the Fear podcast, and a devoted food allergy mom, to Eating at a Meeting. Amanda and I dove into the rarely-discussed intersection of food allergy safety and mental health. Too often, we focus on labeling foods and avoiding allergens at events, but what about managing the underlying fear, trauma, and anxiety that come with living (or parenting) with food allergies? Amanda opened up about the deep-seated worries food-allergic individuals carry to every buffet, the impact of recurrent trauma from allergic reactions, and the often overlooked mental toll of social and professional situations involving food. We unpacked the crucial need for “emotional safety” alongside physical safety, practical ways planners and foodservice professionals can alleviate anxiety, and why inclusive, empathetic communication truly matters. Amanda also shared grounding techniques, misconceptions about allergy anxiety, and how to build confidence navigating a sometimes isolating world. Tune in for powerful stories, expert insights, and actionable tips to create events where everyone feels seen, heard, and safe—both on their plate and in their hearts.

Joya Griffin, DVM, DACVD,  is an Ohio native and graduated from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. While attending Cornell, she earned numerous awards, including the Dermatology Service Award for her aptitude in clinical dermatology and her research on Malassezia otitis externa. After graduation, she completed an internship at VCA Berwyn and Aurora Animal Hospitals in Chicago where she was awarded the Intern Abstract Award for her presentation on Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.  Griffin returned to Cornell University in 2007 for a residency in dermatology and, after completing her residency-training program, served one year as an instructor of dermatology teaching fourth-year clinical students as well as lecturing to underclassmen on bacterial, fungal, and immune-mediated skin diseases. Griffin became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology (ACVD) in August 2010 and joined the Animal Dermatology Group. She has a special interest in fungal and immune-mediated skin diseases as well as feline and equine dermatology. She enjoys lecturing to fellow veterinarians, mentoring residents, and teaching the veterinary students who extern with her.  Griffin also stars in the Nat Geo WILD television series, “Pop Goes the Vet with Dr. Joya,” which highlights the challenging and mysterious cases she encounters in veterinary dermatology.  Griffin always strives to care for her patients as if they are her own pets and loves building a long-lasting relationship with their pet parents. Outside of work, Griffin enjoys spending time with her family and pets. She is happily married to Forrest Cummings, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM), a veterinary internal medicine specialist, and they have 3 children - Caden and boy/girl twins, Coby and Carter.

Julia Miller, DVM, DACVD, is an Upstate NY native who grew up in the hallways of Cornell's vet school. She tried her hand at vocal performance (opera) in undergrad at Indiana University and in spite of having a blast singing all day long, she decided that her first true love, animals, offered a more stable and satisfying career. She graduated from Cornell's vet school in 2012 and then completed a large animal rotating internship at the University of Georgia. Mixed animal general practice kept her busy for the next few years where she also found herself falling in love with dermatology. She made her way back to Cornell and completed a dermatology residency after which she stayed on as faculty. When not ooing and aaahing over the grossest skin you can find Julia playing with her three bully-breed dogs (the squish!), singing in a rock cover band, or riding any horse that she can sit on.

Chemical engineer Beth Sattely studies the intricate chemistry of plant life. Plants are more than food, she says: They are living chemical factories churning out molecules that help plants do everything from adapting to climate change to fighting infections – or even producing valuable new cancer drugs. Lately, Sattely's lab is working on ways to make crops more resilient to engineer more sustainable foods and environments. Some of our most exciting technologies already exist in nature, we just have to find them, Sattely tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

During Food Allergy Awareness Week this year, I was joined by veteran meeting planner P. Christine Poole, CMP—someone who knows firsthand how a single overlooked ingredient can turn a meal into a medical emergency. With more than 20 years of experience planning conferences for state, regional, and national associations, Christine has a sharp eye for logistics, hospitality, and detail. But after developing an adult-onset pine nut allergy, she's experienced the other side of the table—where even clear communication with hotel staff doesn't always protect guests. In this episode, Christine shares the emotional and physical toll of navigating food allergies at events she didn't just attend—she helped plan. She's had three separate incidents at hotels where pine nuts were served despite her documented allergy. One chef even assured her the dish was safe because he'd made it himself. It wasn't. Together, we explore: • What these incidents reveal about breakdowns in communication between culinary teams and guests • Why F&B protocols must go beyond “just ask the chef” • What planners and venues must do to prevent allergic reactions—not just respond to them This isn't just about pine nuts. It's about responsibility, risk, and respect for the lives sitting at every table.

Hey food allergy mama! Need food allergy camp tips this summer? The first time I sent my kid to summer day camp, I honestly didn't know what I didn't know. I had the EpiPens packed, the forms filled out, the snacks labeled... but I still had that pit in my stomach wondering—did I forget something that matters? If you're feeling that too—or you're just trying to figure out if camp with food allergies is even a safe option—you are not alone. In today's episode, I'm sharing what I learned as a food allergy mom after sending my child to day camp. I'll walk you through the questions I asked, what I packed, and how I prepped both my child and the camp staff. But I'm also going to tell you about the things no one warned me about—the emotional side, the red flags I noticed too late, and what I'd do differently next time. So whether you've already signed up for day camp or you're still deciding, stick around to the end—you'll leave feeling more prepared, more confident, and less alone. I'm cheering for you!

On this episode of Eating at a Meeting, I welcome Addie Lao, a courageous nine-year-old food allergy advocate, and her mom, Dr. Robin Lao, a pediatric nurse practitioner from Sacramento, California. Together, these two inspiring women are leading the charge for safer dining experiences in California with their coauthored California Senate Bill 68 — the Addie Act. We dove deep into their journey: from the transformative moment of Addie being able to eat safely at a Chinese restaurant because of clear allergen labeling, to the challenges and triumphs of advocating for legislation that would require all California restaurants to list the top nine allergens on their menus. Robin shared the legislative process, their advocacy in the state Capitol (including Addie testifying before senators — with her whole third-grade class cheering her on!), and the ripple effect this bill could have for millions of diners, families, and the food and beverage industry. You'll hear the real impact of food allergies on daily life, the importance of inclusivity, support needed from restaurants and the community, and why food allergy diners are among the most loyal customers. Discover how this mother-daughter team is turning adversity into action, the steps restaurants and individuals can take to help, and why sharing your story truly matters. Join us in supporting the Addie Act at additellsall.com and be part of the movement for safer, more inclusive dining everywhere.

Patient advocate Lianne Mandelbaum discusses her article, "What Avarie's death in Rome teaches us about the gaps in food allergy education." Lianne reflects on the tragic death of Avarie, a young American student with a known tree nut allergy who died in Rome due to anaphylaxis, contrasting this loss with the promising advancements in food allergy research and treatment. She meticulously outlines the systemic failures in Avarie's case: despite informing the restaurant of her allergy, she was served pesto containing cashew; her first epinephrine auto-injector reportedly failed; and the responding ambulance lacked the appropriate medication. Lianne underscores how lived experience with anaphylaxis shapes risk perception and highlights the urgent need for comprehensive, lifelong food allergy education starting from a young age. This education must cover crucial skills such as safe food ordering, self-advocacy in various settings including when studying abroad, and clear emergency response protocols. She points to a pervasive societal underestimation of food allergies and calls for widespread education at all levels—for patients, families, schools, universities, the hospitality industry, physicians across specialties to ensure timely allergist referrals, and particularly for first responders to be properly equipped and trained. Lianne advocates for making the knowledge and use of epinephrine as normalized and accessible as CPR, urging the community to translate knowledge into action to prevent further avoidable deaths.
