About this listen

 Hello and welcome to Allergies with Ayah a podcast all about food allergies and other food hypersensitivities. Growing up with food allergies, being a food allergy awareness advocate, studying and researching food allergies and now working in the food hypersensitivity field and getting to interact with world leading researchers and experts I have developed a passion for understanding all aspects of food allergy and other food hypersensitivities!

In this podcast we will be taking a closer look at some of the current trends in food hypersensitivity published research and dissect some of the misinformation we often read or hear about, we will also hear stories and advice from people with lived experience. My aim to create a scientifically curious community and to get you interested in the science behind food allergies and other hypersensitivities.
