Holiday season is fast approaching, and it's important to keep food allergies in mind. We spend some time with Dr. Alice Hoyt, a board-certified food allergist, about how common food allergies are and what parents need to know for their kids.

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.

Multiple food allergies are a daily stressor for millions of families. From avoiding social events to fearing accidental exposures, it can feel like living in a constant state of alert. Until recently, there were no FDA-approved treatments that targeted more than one allergen at a time. In this episode, we break down the study: “Omalizumab for the Treatment of Multiple Food Allergies,” published in 2024 in the New England Journal of Medicine. Known as the OUtMATCH trial, it's the first large-scale study to show that omalizumab (Xolair), a biologic already used for asthma and hives, may help people with multiple food allergies by raising the threshold for reactions. We explain how omalizumab works by blocking IgE, the antibody that triggers allergic reactions, and how the study measured changes in reaction thresholds (the amount of an allergen a person can ingest before reacting). We also explore the trial design, results, safety profile, and what all of this means for the day-to-day management of food allergies. What we cover in our episode about OUtMATCH trial How omalizumab works to prevent allergic reactions: Learn how blocking IgE increases the amount of allergen needed to trigger symptoms, offering protection from small, accidental exposures. Who qualified for the OUtMATCH trial and why: Find out which patients were included and how eligibility impacted outcomes. What success looked like in this study: Understand how researchers defined protection across multiple allergens. Why not everyone responded the same to omalizumab: Explore the variability in results and what it means for clinical care. What else the study found beyond food challenges: Hear about safety findings, quality of life data, and the open-label extension.

Children in early childhood education programs are among the youngest and most vulnerable when it comes to food allergies. To address this critical gap, a dedicated group of professionals created the Early Childhood Anaphylaxis Collaborative. Today, we're joined by Thomas Silvera—founder of the Elijah-Alavi Foundation and a founding partner of the Collaborative, as is FAACT's CEO, Eleanor Garrow-Holding—to explore how this initiative is making a difference in food allergy communities nationwide.Resources to keep you in the know:Early Childhood Anaphylaxis CollaborativeJoin the Collaborative - As an early childhood care provider, health care provider or parent.You can find FAACT's Roundtable Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Pandora, Spotify, Podbay, iHeart Radio, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube.Sponsored by: KaleoThanks for listening!

Food allergies have risen in the United States over the last few decades. Research suggests that 40 years ago the prevalence of food allergies was less than 1%. But today that number is closer to 6%. But this trend is not present in all countries — and what people are allergic to varies globally. Today, we dive into the complex world of food allergies with Dr. Waheeda Samady.

Dr. Ari Vojdani, Chief Scientific Officer at Cyrex Labs, describes the two primary components of the immune system--humoral and cell-mediated immunity and how the Cyrex diagnostics are designed to measure both. The Cyrex food immune reactivity testing measures antibodies against raw, cooked, modified, and processed food proteins as the structure of these proteins can change and affect immune responses. Cyrex is also developing tests to measure antibodies against various gut bacteria, fungi, and toxins, and how these relate to autoimmune conditions. Ari explains, "Cyrex performs lots of tests, but we can divide them based on the immune system. As you know, the immune system has two major components, the humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The humoral components of the immune system deal with measurements of antibodies. So when we get exposed to certain antigens, proteins of pathogens, food, or toxic chemicals, when they bind to human tissue, our body reacts to them, and the end result of that is specific antibody production against that specific protein or antigen." "The second component of the immune system is cell-mediated immunity, which looks at different lymphocytes, their markers, such as whether it is a T-cell, B-cell, CD4, CD8, T helper 1, T helper 2, regulatory T cells, or natural killer cells. So that also could be abnormal in certain inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. That's why at Cyrex, the tests that they are performing are classified based on humoral and cell-mediated immunity."   "In 1986 and 1987, I developed the ELISA method for measuring antibodies against different food antigens. Then I did not have the knowledge about the importance of raw versus cooked or raw versus modified foods. I established the methodologies, and many others came to visit my laboratories. Years later, they started their own laboratories. So they continue using the same raw food for measuring antibodies in their own laboratories." #CyrexLabs #FunctionalImmunology #FunctionalMedicine #immuneHealth #FoodSensitivity #FoodAllergies cyrexlabs.com Download the transcript here

Allergist Tina Sindher acknowledges that allergies may be affecting more people worldwide, influenced by a combination of factors such as environmental changes, modern lifestyles, urbanization, and evolving dietary habits. Prevention is playing catch-up, and promising new strategies include earlier food introduction than was popular only a few years ago. On the treatment front, hopes are rising for immunotherapies and a new prescription medicine, omalizumab, that addresses multiple allergens at once. While no single approach helps all, these strategies could allow millions worldwide to better manage their allergies, Sindher tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast. Have a question for Russ?

Hey food allergy mama!

In this episode, I'm sharing my astonishing reasons why celebrations in the classrooms should be food-free, and in case you're worried that taking food out of celebrations will make school boring and full of misery, listen to the end for surprising kid and teacher-approved alternatives that make school super fun and exciting.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explores the fascinating link between dietary habits and sleep quality, particularly nightmares. Discussing a recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology, Leyla explains how consuming certain foods, especially late at night, can influence dream patterns. Foods like sweets, dairy, and allergens such as gluten and lactose were found to have significant effects on sleep disturbances. She emphasizes healthy eating habits, particularly avoiding food allergens and late-night eating, and suggests practical tips for improving sleep quality. Leyla also touches on how cultural beliefs and anecdotal evidence support the scientific findings, providing a comprehensive overview of how diet can directly affect dream content and sleep health.

Leading food allergy advocate Lianne Mandelbaum discusses her article, "What one diagnosis can change: the movement to make dining safer." She explains how for millions of people living with food allergies, dining out is often an exercise in survival rather than a joy, filled with anxiety about cross-contact and lack of ingredient transparency. Lianne highlights a powerful advocacy movement, driven by the personal stories of those with lived experience, that is creating systemic change. She focuses on California's ADDE Act (SB 68), a bill that would require restaurants to list the top nine allergens on their menus, framing it not as a burden but as a significant business opportunity. By increasing transparency, restaurants can win the trust and business of the food-allergic community and the large groups of friends and family who dine with them. Drawing parallels between her own advocacy for airline safety and this new legislative effort, she illustrates how parent-driven passion is reshaping public policy to make the world safer and more inclusive for everyone.
