We’re two 30-somethings living a food allergy life who never go anywhere without our epis! (Two of them, IYKYK). EpiPod is the resource and community we wish we’d had along the way.
Sarah is a mom to two little boys with food allergies. Danielle has navigated life-threatening allergies her whole life.
Living with an invisible health condition can feel SO isolating. Join us on the couch and take a load off with people who get it.
You're in for a mix of allergy treatment updates, vent seshes, tips, and wins. Plus the occasional guest to learn from the experts themselves!

EpiSode 53: Bridging the knowledge gap in food allergy clinical care
Why do so many healthcare professionals—nurses, ER doctors, even hospital teams—still miss key facts about food allergies and anaphylaxis? In this episode of EpiPod, Sarah and Danielle sit down with Dr. Maya Gharfeh (https://allergistmama-s-allergeez.mn.co/sign_up?auto_join=true&from=https%3A%2F%2Fallergistmama-s-allergeez.mn.co%2F%3Fautojoin%3D1&space_id=17957099) to explore why gaps in clinical allergy knowledge persist and what’s being done to close them. Sarah shares a personal story about an ER doctor’s surprising misunderstanding of allergic reactions, while Dr. Gharfeh recalls the time she had to advocate for her patient to receive epinephrine inside the hospital itself. Plus, Dr. Gharfeh offers practical tips for patients and families on navigating moments of confusion or conflicting advice during emergencies.
