#68 AUVI-Q and Epi Confidence with Dr. Vivian Hernandez-Trujillo

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Vivian Hernandez-Trujillo, board-certified allergist and food allergy mom and patient, for a grounded and practical conversation about epinephrine confidence.We talk about what it’s like to manage food allergies both personally and professionally, why so many families hesitate in emergencies, and how familiarity, not fear, is what truly helps in moments of anaphylaxis. Dr. Hernandez-Trujillo walks us through how patients can build confidence using epinephrine, including the unique features of AUVI-Q.The goal of the episode is to help families understand their options and feel more supported as new tools become available in the food allergy space. This episode is not sponsored, and I am not promoting any single epinephrine device. 🎥 The full video version of this episode, including the AUVI-Q demonstration, is available on YouTube: @dontfeedthefear Links:AUVI-Q information and training resources: https://www.auvi-q.comDr. Hernandez-Trujillo: https://www.sflallergy.com/about-usPrevious episodes with Dr. Pistiner:New Criteria for Infant and Toddler Anaphylaxis:https://dontfeedthefear.buzzsprout.com/2371319/episodes/18014268Safe Epi Use for Infants and Toddlers:https://dontfeedthefear.buzzsprout.com/2371319/episodes/18209067Special thanks to Kyle Dine for permission to use his song The Doghouse for the podcast theme!www.kyledine.comFind Dr. Whitehouse:-thefoodallergypsychologist.com-Instagram: @thefoodallergypsychologist-Facebook: Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, Food Allergy Anxiety [email protected]
