With Dr. Farah Khan, board-certified allergist and immunologist, we dive into what food allergies are, how they differ from intolerances, and how they impact everything from eczema to emotional well-being. In this episode we unpack what causes confusion, concern and sometimes crisis, around food allergies. From navigating school lunches to birthday parties to grocery aisles, food allergies are more common than ever, affecting 1 in 13 children in the U.S. Whether you're suspecting an allergy or managing one already, this episode will leave you feeling informed and empowered.
