Send us Fan MailIn this World Allergy Week episode, I'm joined by Ilana Golant, Founder and CEO of the Food Allergy Fund. She exposes the significant gap between the prevalence of food allergies and the amount of research dollars devoted to this. Ilana shares how the FAF is stepping into this gap, ensuring that every dollar donated goes directly to research on prevention, treatment, and eventual cures. She reports on the most exciting findings from this year's FAF Summit. We discuss:How a mother's love became a catalyst for global changeThe food allergy crisis: stats, trends, and what's fueling the growthThe disproportionately low amount of funding, and how FAF is turning the tideOngoing research on the microbiome and AI predictive model for food challengesTune in to learn about this innovative model reshaping food allergy research and how you can be part of it.Food Allergy FundFood Allergy Fund (@foodallergyfund) • Instagram photos and videosFood Allergy Fund | FacebookFood Allergy Fund (@foodallergyfund) / XIlana's mental health: Invisible Burden: The Mental Health Cost of Food Allergies - Thrive Global2025 Summit Videos: FAF Summit April 2025 — Food Allergy FundEvery Cure – Unlocking the hidden potential of existing drugs to save livesSpecial 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]
