Under not-so-great circumstances, I got to meet an extraordinary founder, this past weekend - Inderpal Randhawa, MD. And my gratitude for him staying committed to his purpose expanded once again. Just the two days before, our kids successfully introduced allergens we never imagined they’d be able to consume - pecans, peanuts, pistachios, lentils, camel milk, and hazelnut. Madeline was cleared to openly eat almonds. Judd to eat chickpeas. Hello, almond milk and hummus!! And 24 hours later, after celebrating all the wins, we were quickly reminded of our reality. Was it residual peanuts? Dairy in the dairy-free Dippin Dots? We don’t know. But we quickly found ourselves in a blocked off corridor at Angel stadium with Judd getting medical attention for a reaction that came on fast and hard. After the shock and adrenaline wore off, I found myself thinking about the BRAVERY it takes to be a founder… ⭐️ It’s believing in something and continuing to say it out loud, even when people might not agree with you or believe you. ⭐️ It’s committing to solving a problem that at any point in time can grow and become bigger than you ever imagined. ⭐️ It’s dedicating whatever resources you need, sometimes your own time and money, to make sure it doesn’t just work for some, but for all. Having an idea is one thing, but seeing it through and making sure that works for even your hardest cases - in this case, for a kid like Judd - is incredible. The Food Allergy Institute is doing groundbreaking work that will have a global impact on how food allergies are addressed and I feel so fortunate that the Orme family will get to be a part of their story in changing the lives of so many families 💜 #foodallergies #allergy #allergyawareness #founders #entrepreneurs

What happens when you are tasked with doing a business risk analysis in relation to the draft labelling regulations (R. 3337)? When simply attending training is not enough?    “Once you sit face to face with a client and work through their labels you start to realise the knock-on-effect that the draft may have. For example: nutrient profiling and front-of-pack labelling may affect claims and trade names that a brand is built on and therefore may have to be reconsidered, enrichment may not be permitted any longer, etc. Being prepared for the eventuality that the draft may be published in its current form will ensure that the company is not caught off guard.” says Gabrielle Stevens, head of the Regulatory and Nutrition division at FACTS Food & Allergy Consulting & Testing Services.    While this is still a draft, we love to help our clients be prepared for all eventualities and possibilities. Doing this in an interactive session where we look at the current regulations, the draft, and some of the intentions of the changes might be very helpful to you and your team.

Read our patient Gavin's Food Freedom Story 👇 This month, we welcome another 40+ patients to food freedom - The ability to eat the things that once sent them into anaphylaxis. There is no other program able to achieve these results with the same consistency and safety. There are many factors involved that set this program apart, including accurate allergen-specific testing and diagnosis, AI and machine learning, and biosimilar protein matching. "After enduring years of food anaphylaxis, Gavin successfully completed the Tolerance Induction Program. We express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Randhawa and the entire FAI staff for making this achievement possible, not only for Gavin but also for countless other patients. Their transformative Tolerance Induction Program (TIP) has enabled our son to overcome his severe food allergies, restoring his confidence and well-being." - TIP Parent, Hilary Offer your patients a better tomorrow, send them to the Food Allergy Institute https://lnkd.in/gdCmTbGB . . #foodallergies #foodallergyinsitute #fodallergytreatment #monumentalmoments #foodfreedom #foodfreedomstories #referrral

The end is finally here 💪💃 I know we have slept on this topic, yeah is necessary, so today we are here for prevention, though not far from the recommendation, but what is worth doing is worth doing well and complete. Now let me brief the prevention 1 Early Introduction- Recent research suggests that introducing potential allergens into a child's diet early (under guidance from a healthcare provider) may reduce the risk of developing allergies. 2 Proper Label Reading- Always read food labels to check for allergens. Be aware of cross-contamination risks in food preparation. 3 Educate and Advocate- Promote awareness and understanding of food allergies in community settings, including schools and restaurants, to ensure safer environments for individuals with allergies. Also on social media like I'm doing right now. This will reach millions of people since social media is like a widespread fire, but i cannot do it alone you can as well assist by reposting to reach a wider range of people and together we can ameliorate food allergies. By understanding and implementing these practices, individuals with food allergies can better manage their condition and reduce the risk of severe reactions. I hope i have been able to convince and not to confuse you with the this topic so far.😂 Let me know the next food topic you would love me to talk about in the comment section 👇 Enjoy the rest of your day famz 😍 #20daylinkedinchallengewithhaoma #growth #foodhygieneadvocate #wellnessandhealth #thoughtleader #lifelonglearning #linkedinforcreators

#NewVideoAlert! Another video has gone live in our new video series dedicated to #FoodAllergies! The goal of this project is to increase patient and caregiver education while providing resources to improve prevention, treatment and management of this condition. These videos have been created based on the wants and needs of our two focus groups for Black People Like Me and Unidos Hablemos focus groups.

Check out the video below!  ______________________________________________________ After her daughter's food allergy diagnosis, Renia Butler, AFAINA was advised to remove most of the top 9 allergens from her daughter's diet. But even after doing so, Renia's daughter continued to develop hives and rashes that also appeared during her food allergy reactions. With some digging, Renia realized she needed to eliminate more than food to keep her daughter safe.🥚🥜🥛 Food allergens are present in a variety of non-edible products we use every day. From soaps and creams to playdough, slime, and even disposable plates and cups, these seemingly harmless items can pose a threat to children with food allergies.🧼🧴🥤 Always read labels to ensure that the products are safe.

🌍 Food allergies are rising rapidly, and the numbers are truly concerning. Did you know that 1 in 4 children now has a food allergy? Even more startling, this number has doubled in just the past decade. If this trend continues, by 2050, half the world’s population could be living with food allergies. At Vini Mini, we see this as a challenge not just for parents but for the world. It’s a strain on our healthcare systems and a barrier to transitioning to sustainable food sources. So, how do we reverse this trend? And where should we start? 🤔 In Episode 65 of Women Disrupting Tech, Jozien Boersma, our founder, dives deep into this issue. She shares how we can use food to prevent allergies right from the start. We want to extend a big thank you to Dirkjan Hupkes and his Women Disrupting Tech platform for featuring us and showcasing the work of so many incredible female entrepreneurs. 🙌 If you’re interested in learning more about how we can tackle food allergies and build a healthier, more sustainable future, tune into the episode: 🎧 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/ebKUyRPB 🍎 Apple: https://apple.co/3TctMTB 📺 YouTube: https://lnkd.in/ezmKzwwm Or simply search for Women Disrupting Tech on your favorite podcast platform. 👉 Pro Tip: Check out the show notes for links to connect with Jozien, Vini Mini, and more in-depth research on this important topic: https://wp.me/pelXbA-xY #FoodAllergies #SustainableFuture #WomenInTech #HealthInnovation #ViniMini #WomenDisruptingTech
