How do you start giving your allergy kid more control in managing their food allergies?
 
Live from the Food Allergy Bloggers Conference! Dr. G and Kortney interview mom and daughter pair Gina and Jill as they share some of their presentation about self-advocating and the steps that a family can take in managing their food allergies or any other medical condition. 
 
Gina Mennett Lee, M.Ed, works nationally and internationally as a food allergy consultant and educator through her business, FoodAllergyConsulting.com. Her daughter, Jill, has multiple food allergies and shares her life managing allergies on Instagram.
 
Learn how they developed a four-step plan that helped Gina lead the way and then slowly give up the reigns on managing Jill's allergies. 
What we cover in this episode

  •  Examples of how to use this process and how Gina has helped Jill become an independent food allergy teenager. 

  • The hardship of giving your allergy kid more control and finding their independence.
