    EP 280: Reducing Childhood Allergy Rates with Pediatric Nutritionist, Ali Bandier

    EP 280: Reducing Childhood Allergy Rates with Pediatric Nutritionist, Ali Bandier

    Can parents turn the tide on allergy rates and reduce their child’s chances of developing one? According to Columbia-trained pediatric nutritionist, Ali Bandier, MS, RD, CDN the science shows that yes – they can.  Former feeding guidelines encouraged parents to limit exposure to high-allergy foods, like peanut butter or shellfish, and refrain from offering those foods until at least two years of age. Recent data shows the opposite: earlier and regular exposure to these foods can reduce developing food allergies. Ali helps navigate the ever-changing food landscape, specifically noting the significant shifts in the science of food allergies, to support parents on their feeding journies.

Room for improvement

I usually like the content, but the title of this podcast is very odd. The intro is amateurish (that fake laugh!). Liz always sounds like she's out of breath, she constantly uses some iteration of "dive in" or "season of life," and it drives me especially bonkers when she says "if you are listening" because of course we are listening or we wouldn't be hearing you in the first place. It's also odd that there are so many guests from Canada. Liz obviously doesn't have a real career - a former night club waitriess turned doula, and the "doula stuff" seems to have gone by the wayside. I like keeping up with Liz and her family life, but honestly, most of the information presented on this show is readily available on the internet.
