On this episode of Food Allergy Talk, I welcome Susie Hultquist, Founder and CEO of Spokin.If there’s one thing she knows, it’s that managing food allergies requires significant time and effort. At the age of three, Susie’s oldest daughter was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies. Years later, after spending hours researching what (if any) Girl Scout cookies were safe for her family, the impact of this lifelong condition really sank in. Realizing that existing solutions are fragmented and over-generalized, Susie created Spokin—a trusted, solution-based resource providing a combination of content, community, and tools all with the common goal to make it easier, faster, and safer to manage food allergies.On this episode we will discuss:Her personal experience with her daughters food allergies, diagnosis and first diagnosis back in a time when there was even a lacking of awareness and proper protocol amongst the medical community.How Spokin came to be.How the Spokin app serves the community.All you can find and review on the app including store-bought foods, restaurants, bakeries, vacation destinations, colleges and more!Her experience being featured on the Netflix series "Rotten", as part of "The Peanut Problem" episode.Her advice, tips and encouragement for newly diagnosed and those managing their own food allergies or as a care taker. Visit Spokin online:https://www.spokin.comDownload Spokin in the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spokin-food-allergies-made-easier/id1201909035Spokin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/spokininc/Spokin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spokininc/Spokin on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SpokinIncSpokin on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/spokininc/_created/Listen online anytime: https://foodallergypi.com/the-food-allergy-talk-podcast/ or on any podcast player. Read My Articles on WebMD: https://blogs.webmd.com/food-allergies/lisa-horneThe Everything Nut Allergy Cookbook: https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Lisa-Horne/190009636The Food Allergy Talk Podcast: https://foodallergypi.com/the-food-allergy-talk-podcast/Food Allergy P.I.
