On this episode of Food Allergy Talk, I welcome Debbie Nichols and Candice Matthis of Two Alpha Gals. Debbie and Candice both live in southwest Virginia and were diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome a few months apart in 2019. After several scary and frustrating incidents, they set out to raise awareness and help others navigate this complicated and under-diagnosed condition.
In addition to Alpha Gal Syndrome, both Debbie and Candice have other food allergies.
Today we will get to know the duo known as the Two Alpha Gals, chat about autoimmune disorders, food allergies, and all things Alpha Gal Syndrome.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
