In 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 change
• The food allergy crisis: stats, trends, and what's fueling the growth
• The disproportionately low amount of funding, and how FAF is turning the tide
• Ongoing research on the microbiome and AI predictive model for food challenges

Tune in to learn about this innovative model reshaping food allergy research and how you can be part of it.
