I will never ever gatekeep allergy safe restaurants, and one of my all time fave spots is Street Taco in NYC!! I have been coming to this restaurant for YEARS, like since my sophomore year of college, and they have always done an amazing job taking my food allergies seriously. They have so many gluten, dairy, egg, nut, sesame, and seafood free options, and they are great with preventing cross contact. This is not sponsored by the way :)

While there are more than three things I do to take care of my mental health, these are my top three priorities! I’m so grateful for tools like Finch (not sponsored) that help keep me accountable when it comes to taking care of myself, even on the hard days. How do you cope with living with food allergies?

Last week I had the privilege of attending the May Contain My Life movie premiere in Kansas City, and it was such an incredible experience. In this video I had the opportunity to be interviewed and share my perspective on the film!

This movie portrays the food allergy experience in such an accurate way, and that is honestly so rare to see. It gives me a lot of hope for the future of food allergy advocacy. I loved it and it brought me to tears both times I’ve watched it.

If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, May Contain My Life is screening in AMC theaters nationwide May 22nd through the 29th. Go get your tickets!

The day has come to do OIT from home, and thankfully it was not as daunting as I anticipated! It was actually very easy. My nurse and doctor at Latitude Food Allergy Care gave me a very in-depth overview of how to do OIT from home, which brought me so much peace of mind!
