EpiPod

EpiPod is an invaluable resource for anyone dealing with a food allergy! The hosts make it a fun listen through their thoughtful research, candid personal experiences, and different perspectives. Danielle is an adult living with food allergies and Sarah is the mom to two littles with food allergies. I’ve learned so much from this podcast so far and can’t wait for more episodes!

As a mom to a toddler with several life threatening food allergies, this podcast is one of the only pieces of food allergy content that makes me feel both seen AND good. Often when I’m listening, I almost chime in before I remember I’m not actually there chatting with them. 😂 The FA community is really amazing, and this is a particularly hopeful and helpful slice of it. Thank you two!!!

As a FA-mom, I often avoid talking about FA with others so I’m not “that mom”, even though it consumes my life. I wish I could have a glass of wine (or more ;)) with these lovely ladies and give them a hug. They get it and it’s so validating. If you have food allergies, have someone you love with FA, or just want to be a great ally - give these gals a listen.

There’s a quote I have heard that says “isolation brings deception.” I developed food allergies in my adult life, and I have isolated myself out of fear. In that isolation, there has been deception that they world is a scary place. Month by month it has just gotten worse with my fear and anxiety. I didn’t have a lot of hope for my future in terms of enjoying life and being able to live among others and do things. This podcast has made me feel seen, and has given me hope and some tools to move out of this funk. I feel like every episode I listen to a weight is lifted off my shoulders that I didn’t realized I was carrying. Thank you!
