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.

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.

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.
When Brandon and Whitney Cawood's three-year-old son was expelled from daycare for aggressive behavior, they faced a crossroads that would change not only their lives but potentially millions of others. Rather than accepting the psychiatric diagnoses being pushed on them, they discovered something shocking: their son's severe behavioral issues weren't psychological at all—they were chemical reactions to synthetic food dyes hiding in his daily allergy medication and antibiotics.Within 48 hours of removing these petroleum-based chemicals from his diet, they met their real son for the first time. This revelation launched them on a journey that would lead to creating the documentary "To Dye For," building a community of nearly one million parents, and influencing legislation across multiple states.To Dye For Documentary Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Hey Food Allergy Mom, One question I hear from food allergy parents is: “Is my child ready to self-carry epinephrine at school?” Sometimes we think they're ready, but the school or maybe their doctor isn't convinced. We all know that having that epinephrine available right away is important, which makes self-carrying an important option. So, how do you know they're ready, and what can you do to show the school they are? In today's episode, we're walking through what self-carry means, and I'll share some real-life tests you can do to help everyone feel confident that you're child is ready. By the end of this episode, you'll have a solid plan for figuring out if your child is ready to self-carry this school year—whether it's your child's first time or just a new grade with new expectations.

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.

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.

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.

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.
