Food allergies can feel overwhelming for parents—especially during those first introductions to new foods. In this episode of The New Mom Talk Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Akansha Ganju, a board-certified allergist and immunologist and the leader of Latitude’s first Los Angeles clinic. Dr. Ganju shares her expertise on how parents can recognize the signs of food allergies, know when to seek help, and feel more confident when introducing new foods.

We cover:

  • The earliest signs of a food allergy in children

  • How to tell the difference between a food allergy, sensitivity, or normal digestive discomfort

  • Red flag reactions that require immediate medical attention

  • What steps to take if you suspect your child has an allergy

  • How to feel confident introducing allergens—even with a family history

  • Treatment options for children with diagnosed food allergies

Whether you’re about to start solids, in the middle of introducing allergens, or navigating a new diagnosis, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, supported, and empowered.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
