Killer Food Allergies
54 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 33 ratingsIrreverent with a sprinkle of bitterness, Holly Bayardo says what we’re all thinking. Her journey into the complex and confusing world of allergies offers insight for all of us, whether we are a little sneezy, or could die from ingesting a single sesame seed. Ignoring the non food allergic skepticism, Holly’s raw, unfiltered, viewpoint is refreshing and much needed. As the mom of two daughters with complex & terrifying food allergies, Holly is deep in the trenches of what seems to have become an outbreak of illness for this generation of children. In her experience, just the word - ALLERGY - has become a lightning rod for controversy and confusion.
Why this curious spike? With her “laugh so I don’t cry…” approach, and a fantastic line up of guests, Holly hopes her experience on the front lines with this epidemic will help answer that question and more.
