Sometimes it feels like food allergies take over the motherboard of our brains and tend to not leave a lot of wiggle room for, well, anything else. Sarah and Danielle talk through the specific shifts that have helped each of them get off the all-consuming food allergy roller coaster *while still prioritizing safety and inclusion. From re-routing conversations that have been highjacked by allergy talk to creating space for self-care hobbies to leading by example for the little eyes and ears taking their cues from you, the girls troubleshoot how to de-escalate the allergy noise in real-time.

From clueless Great Aunt Karen at Christmas dinner to countless treats passed out at the class holiday party, Sarah & Danielle chat all things holiday season and allergies. Danielle shares her hack for shutting down an uncomfortable conversation and the mindset she uses to get through the tougher moments. And Sarah details how she travels to multiple family members' homes and attends parties with her allergy kiddos. It isn't always easy, but the gals have picked up some tips along the way! Happy Holidays!

In part two of our interview with board-certified allergist, Dr. Inderpal Randhawa, Danielle & Sarah ask the TIP (Tolerence Induction Program) founder about everything from why his clinic conducts food challenges a little different than most practices to the people who may or may not be good candidates for the program. Dr. Randhawa also addresses the naysayers out there and provides a reason for everyone, no matter if you're in TIP or not, to hold out hope for a cure.

In this EpiSode, Sarah & Danielle interview board-certified allergist and founder of the ⁠Tolerance Induction Program⁠ at the Food Allergy Institute, ⁠Dr. Inderpal Randhawa⁠. In this no-holds-back interview, the ladies ask about things like expansion plans, the high cost, the potential for FDA approval, age limits and so much more. We address the burning questions from both happy patients and skeptics.

And because we couldn't fit it all in one EpiSode, we are saving part 2 for EpiSode 30 - out next week!

It is one of the most asked questions Sarah gets: Why did you choose TIP? And the follow up questions: Why are you not doing TIP for your other child? Are you considering OIT?

This EpiSode answers all of those questions and more. Sarah breaks down her reasons and has some advice to other allergy parents who are contemplating this decision. And Danielle shares her take on all of it as someone who wishes she would have been able to do treatment for her allergies as a child. Plus, some exciting treatment news and a fiery Q&A!

This EpiSode was an emotional one for Danielle. After a year and a half of busting her butt (physically and emotionally) in an OIT program for her peanut allergy, she recently decided to pause treatment, maybe indefinitely. She and Sarah talk through her decision and what led to it. Plus, what she learned about OIT and herself through the process... and her message for others considering allergy treatment. PS - OIT can and totally does work for so many! And the gals talk plenty about that too.

Why does it always feel like some else's kid is eating your child's allergen at the park or playground? Allergy parents can zero in on the allergen quick, but then we have to plan our next steps. Do we leave? Do we ask the child or parent to stop eating it? Do we ignore it and hope for the best? Sarah & Danielle talk through the nuances of allergies in a public setting like a playground and the challenges they've run into. They chat through helpful precautions... and the safety behaviors that simply send their anxiety through the roof! Join us for our best tips and things we have learned along the way. Plus, you don't want to miss the spicy Q&As!

In this EpiSode, Danielle & Sarah breakdown their top tips for safely carrying epinephrine auto-injectors. They discuss everything from how they remember to refill their prescriptions on time to how they keep them in that ever-so-small temperature range & what to do with those expired epis. Plus -- learn from the mistakes they've made! (You'll never believe where Danielle used to keep her epis before she knew better ;))
