Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to the weekly show here on iHeartRadio

and we are talking about the life threatening food allergy
millions of others in this world that do live with
other food allergies as well. We're also chatting with a
mom and daughter duo, Jennifer and Julia for Whitney's Women,

(00:22):

Julia is just fourteen years old and she's getting started
advocating on her platform, which is so amazing. And I'll
be chatting with Ermilo Inojosa, who is the executive director
of green Light Fund Chicago. Let's kick off the show. Hi,
It's Paulina here with iHeartMedia Chicago. And today I am
chatting with Milo in no Ino Hoosam and we are

(00:46):
chatting with the executive director of green Light Fund Chicago.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
How are you today, I'm doing great, Paulina. Thank you
so much for having me on.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Thank you for coming on the show. We are so
excited to chat with you. So first things first, if
you don't mind. Can you talk about a little bit
about yourself and your current role as well?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
I'm a native Chicago, so I grew up on the
West Side of Chicago. Have been working in the non
for profit circle my entire career, and now I am
the founding executive director of Greenlight Fund Chicago. Excited I've
been today actually is my two year anniversary with the organization.
So we're just getting started and we're very excited about
the work we're doing here in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh, congratulations, that is so exciting. I am excited for you.
What drew green Light Fund Chicago to invest in Compass
working capital for your first local portfolio organization?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:33):
So, you know, green Light Fund is an organization that
works with local communities across the So we have sites
all across the country, but we work with local communities
to tackle the barriers that prevent individuals and families from
achieving inclusive prosperity. So, you know, what are the things
that really prevent people from getting ahead economically and doing

(01:53):
better for themselves and their families. And so what we
try to do is talk to as many community residents
as possible. We talk to leaders of no for profit.
We talked to folks from local government to find out
what are the barriers, what are the challenges, and then
what are the opportunities, what are the things that potentially
are missing from Chicago. And then what we do is
we scout the entire country looking for organizations that do

(02:14):
that thing that's missing here in Chicago and that they're
doing it well in another place, in another city. And
so we do a lot of research. We talked to
a lot of organizations, and then we try to narrow
it down and find one organization that we think can
come to Chicago, applicate the work that they do in
these other cities, and really make a difference in people's lives.
And so last year we went through this cycle. We

(02:35):
went through this whole process, talk to again hundreds and
hundreds of people across the city, and then talk to
dozens and dozens of organizations across the country, and then
settled in finally on selecting Compass Working Capital to come
to Chicago.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
So y'all talk in a minute about what they do.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
But the good news is they were already they already
had plans to come to Chicago, and they were working
with the Chicago Housing authority to make that happen.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So they're a wonderful organization. They were already coming in Again.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
In a minute, I'll talk about what exactly they do,
but they have wonderful leadership. They have great success in
other parts of the country, including Boston and Philadelphia, and
so we're very excited to help them come to Chicago.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Absolutely. And what about you know, as far as the
Compass model, can you explain how the Compass model works
and why it's different from traditional savings programs.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, so you know, what Compass does is that they
work with public housing authorities, and so in our case,
they'll be working with the Chicago Housing Authority to work
with the residents to try to unlock savings through this.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Really little known program.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Called FSS, the Family Self Sufficiency Program. And so what
that does is that essentially, when you are working with
when you're a resident of public housing, you know, any
time that you either increase your earnings, you get a promotion,
you get a raise, what ends up happening is that
your rent will increase in proportion to how much your

(03:58):
income has increased. And so that really is kind of tough.
Folks might be making more money, but they're not necessarily
getting ahead in terms of savings, right, that difference then
has to go to rent instead of going into saving
up for something else. And so what Compass Working Capital
does is they work with all these public housing authorities
to be able to work with residents to divert that
savings and so instead of it going into rent, it

(04:21):
actually goes into a savings program that in our case
here Chicago Housing Authority will manage and residents then can
kind of start putting away money for whatever goals that
they set up for themselves. And the really wonderful thing
about Compass Working Capital is not only do they help
folks get enrolled in this program, understand it, take advantage
of it, but they also provide quality coaching, financial coaching

(04:41):
to be able to set up those goals and work
towards those goals over the course of five years.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Absolutely, and what are your hopes for compasses impact here
in Chicago, especially in like the first year.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, So we're very excited because one of the wonderful
things that's happening already that they just launched this month
is that they were able to enroll a thought thousand
families into the program, and so What that means is
these families that are eligible to be in this program
will already automatically start to save. And so what we're
hoping is that not only do these families get enroll,
but again they'll they'll work with Compass and their coaches

(05:13):
to be able to set up goals that could be
anything from you know, the goal that I think most
folks think about is saving up for a down payment
on a home, but it can be anything. They can
also save up to buy a car so they can
find a job that's a little bit further away. They
can save up money for their children's education. The goals
are really individualized, and all the residents get to work

(05:34):
with the financial coaches and determine what's best for their
own family. But we're excited that there's already a thousand
families enrolled in the program.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's incredible. And why is addressing the racial wealth gap
a top priority for green Light Fund Chicago.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, So when we talked to all of these folks
last year, and you know, we continue those conversations this year,
but one of the things that kept on floating to
the top was this idea that you know, people were
not able to really get ahead financial and so they
either had financial education with no real dollars to kind
of use that financial education and leverage it and put
it to work, or maybe they were you know, getting

(06:09):
jobs and moving ahead in their careers and they really
didn't know what to do with their money. And so
this organization Companies Breaking Capital, really married those two things
for us. So they were giving people an opportunity to
have real dollars saved, and then they were giving them
all the tools they need to understand finances, save up
for emergency, save up for these goals that I mentioned.
You know, for us here in Chicago, we know that

(06:30):
the racial and ethnic wealth gap is huge in Chicago.
It's big a part of the country, but here in
Chicago it's really big. And there's lots of good organizations
that are doing work in that space, and good research
organizations that are giving us the data that we need.
But you know, lots and lots of folks that we
talked to said what we really need to do is
get ahead is and I'll mention this last concept is
you know, not just make more money, but save it.

(06:52):
And so what Compass does and what we're dedicated to
is this idea of trying to eliminate asset poverty, right,
so it's not just getting out of already by getting
more money and a job, but it's really saving your
money and building assets.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
And so that's what we're really dedicated to.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh absolutely, and beyond funding. My last question is, how
is Greenlight supporting Compasses work in the city.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, so, you know, we do think of ourselves as
more than just a funder, right, We think of ourselves
as a partner. And so not only are we helping
to bring them into Chicago, but we're providing them strategic support.
We're helping build local relationships, so we're introducing them to
other organizations that could help their residents reach their goals.
We're also helping to introduce them to other local funders

(07:34):
so they can stay here long term. Because the idea
is that we're providing catalyst dollars dollars to help get
them launched and started, but we certainly need local support
from other funders, either public dollars, foundation dollars, private dollars
to be able to keep Compass operating for the long term.
And so a lot of what we do certainly is funding,
but what we also are really proud of is what

(07:54):
we call beyond the check support. We're really here to
help them through any problems they have, any challenges, help
them navigate the local landscape and ultimately fit into the
ecosystem of what's happening, all the good things that are
happening on the south and the west side of the
city to be able to really do their work well.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yes, absolutely, well, thank you Milo for being here with
us today. We really appreciate it. Where can we go
to find more information?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Sure, our website right is greenlightfund dot org and if
you go there, you'll see all of our cities across
the countries. As I mentioned, we're at fourteen cities now
and so there'll be a tab there for you to
be able to find Chicago. My contact information is there
so people can feel created out to me and ask
me questions. But you'll also see updates and different things
that are happening in Chicago again last year, this year,

(08:38):
and into the future.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
We're very excited about what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
In Chicago, amazing. Thank you so much for your time stay.
We appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Alina, thank you so much for having me on. I'm
really grateful.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Thank you so much, and it is time to get
hit with a heavy, the heaviest dose of positivity that
you will ever feel in your body, in your mind,
and maybe in your face too. Whitney Reynolds. Whitney Reynolds
shows here. Whitney is back.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Hello, I am back, and you know it's called Whitney's
Women and it's plural, always has been. But sometimes, you know,
we only have one woman on, but she's filling in
the spot for Whitney's Women. But today we have two
a mother daughter pair amazing women joining us. Jennifer and Julia.
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Bye, Thank you so much for having us by there.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yes, you are quite the duo. I was saying, it
was so hard to squeeze you guys in because you're
doing so much. First of all, Julia, I just want
to say, tell everybody your age and your mission in life.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
Well, I'm fourteen years old and my mission is to
promote mental health and physical health and how they tie together.
And that's actually how I started my platform and got
into doing everything that I do in pageantry as well.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Okay, so we touched on so much right there. First
of all, can we just stop Brady and say, fourteen
years old and she already has created this mission and
a platform. Jennifer, you are mama, beher. I'm going to
bring you into this conversation because what is it like
for you to see your young daughter hasn't even graduated
high school doing so many wonderful things for her community.

Speaker 7 (10:20):
Yeah, well, that's definitely why I got Julia involved back
when she was only like eleven years old and we
started to explore really the world of pageantry. We didn't
know anything about it, but it has. I have seen
Julia grow so much in the last couple of years
and mature and just wanting to do things for others.

(10:44):
And she has taken off on her own really and
actually just graduated eighth grade and we'll be starting high school.
And I'm just really proud of her for everything she's
done in just the last couple of years alone.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Julia, why did you decide to focus and it came
to pageantry and representing Illinois in the International pageant? Why
did you choose the mission of mental health?

Speaker 6 (11:10):
Well, I've been a dancer my entire life, since I
was about three years old, and that's a big part
of being a dancer, you know, mentally, you know, mental
and physical health if they really tie together. And I
was really passionate about that, and I really wanted to
share that with other teens and people and what it

(11:30):
does for me.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
How did you actually create the platform around it?

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Well, I just started dance with Ambition and that's my platform,
and I share with teens in my community about mental
and physical health and how it ties together. And I
also work with other organizations like NAMI and then National

(11:59):
and Mental Illness and I learn a lot from them
as well about it. Well.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
And yeah, Brady, we've had no amion, so of course
you know NAMI, you're one of their ambassadors. Tell us
when you take the stage for this pageant, what do
you hope the judges learn more about the connection between
mental health and physical health.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
So if I could jump in, you know, just because
the connection of mental and physical health. I have seen
Julia as well as like everyone around her in the
dance world, what it does for them, like the outlet
that it gives them, no matter what's happening at home,
with their lives, with their friends, you know, with their lives,

(12:44):
and when Julia is up there, I have seen her
or when she's communicated to me with interviewing and things
like that. With the judges, he shows them how it
has affected her, what she's learned from other young people,
and what it does for them, and she wants to
make sure they know just how important it is and

(13:06):
that they have somewhere to go as well, and that's
why her tie with Nami, and so she gives that
information to them as well.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
It's just it's just a really.

Speaker 8 (13:15):
Great thing.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
That is so amazing. So tell us about the competition
when it is and how people can get involved with
what you're doing.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Yeah, so the pageant is in July. It is in Kingsport, Tennessee,
and they're super excited to be representing Illinois. And you
can get involved with like you just it's a really
great thing. You get involved with your community and you
do you just you get to learn how to interview.

(13:45):
And that's a really big part and a really big
reason why I started doing it. And it's a great
thing to throw even at a young age because you
learn how to interview, and it's great for when you
get older, even like college interviews and job interviews.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
Well, we are definitely rooting for you, Julia. Tell us
how people can get involved with Dance with Ambition.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
So her Dance with Ambition people she's she's on Instagram
at Dance with Ambition and Julia collects also collects dancedwear
for under served communities. People can contact her through there
to donate, and they can also contact her to find
out more about her ambassadorship with NAMI and how they

(14:32):
can reach out for help through them and like nami
dot org and find their local affiliates in their area
as well.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
I love it so much going on in such positive ways.
Like I said, we are rooting for you way to
represent Illinois. I love learning more about the pageants, Brady.
Wasn't it cool? Isn't it enlightening? Because sometimes you know,
you can think that you know what pageants do or
you know what you've seen on TV, and they really
we are evolving to have people create platforms that are

(15:03):
changing the world.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
It's so good. And I love the fact that you're
only fourteen years old and you're becoming an inspiration to
people that are much older than you. So keep up
the great work. And Whitney, I said this before, the
future is in really good hands. Every single time.

Speaker 9 (15:17):
We've done nobody that's a little.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Bit younger on the show and their ambition and their
mission and their motivation behind it. It really makes you
feel good.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
It really does, especially whenever we think about like just
graduating eighth grade. I mean I can't. I mean, here
she is on the radio talking about these different platforms
and going to Tennessee to compete to represent our home state.
I'm so excited for them. Thank you both so much
for coming on today.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
Thank thank you so much for having us.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Thanks and Whitney, thank you for always doing what you do,
even though most of America, in Chicago, in the world
is on vacation in the summer.

Speaker 9 (15:54):
Not to you.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
You are you are busy working. You know what, Elf,
So tell us what's coming up Whitney Reynolds Show and world.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
You know, being a national talk show, I tried to
do what other national talk show hosts do and I
took hiatus a few summers ago and it really did
not suit our platform. Well, so what I'm doing this
summer is a lot of intermittent hiatus. So many great
stories are coming through Chicago right now. I sat down

(16:23):
with the actors of Ironheart last week. Also, Rebel Wilson
was on our show. I mean, come on, so I
know that was last week too. There was so many
great things happening, I have to say. So now I'm
every week I'm doing a little bit of something interview wise,
but you'll have to wait for it to hit the
national TV airwaves in the fall. But we are streaming

(16:46):
these interviews as crossovers on all of our platforms. So
if you go to Whitney Reynolds dot com you can
see our latest interviews. And I have to tell you
Rebel was hilarious and I definitely felt like I could
have joined them in their newest Brideheart so you could
see these early RELI I mean, I was like, can
I join you? I've never wanted to be an actress,
and then in this moment, I'm like, I could be

(17:07):
an actress with them. So yeah, all our pre releases
are hitting streaming. We're not holding back for you. We
believe inspiration is found twenty four hours a day. If
you stick with us, you'll see it early. So Whitney
Reynolds dot com for everything, hope filled.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Yes, And if you're listening right now and you're not
following Whitney, you need to hit that follow button on
any platform because yes, you will be inspired and your
day will turn into a bright day. So Whitney, thank
you for shouting to light as always, and we'll talk
to you next time.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yes you will. Thanks Brady.

Speaker 9 (17:35):
It's amazing to think about, but roughly one in ten
Americans are living with life threatening food allergies. Doctors call
it a silent public health epidemic. Tens of millions of
others live with food allergies I imagine, which are more
of a major inconvenience or annoyance than deadly. To bring
in an expert to discuss it, Doctor Sung publicly is

(17:56):
CEO of Food Allergy Research and Education. Doctor, I appreciate
you joining us, Thank you for having me. I know
the FDA just issued some new guidance on food allergies
things like that. I want to get to that in
a moment, but let me start off with this. Explain
who FAIR is Food Allergy Research and Education and what
the organization does.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
Food Allergy Research and Education is the largest nonprofit organization
here in the United States focusing on research, education, and advocacy.
In other words, we are curing food allergies for the
more than thirty three million Americans.

Speaker 9 (18:36):
I don't want to age myself. But when I was
growing up in the seventies and eighties, I don't think
I knew anybody who had a peanut allergy or milk
or wheat allergy. Nobody had ever heard of gluten or
celliac disease, any of these things. How did all of
this become so prominent in our society?

Speaker 8 (18:54):
You know, it's really about eating early and eating often.
Our doctors had given some advice to parents stating that
you should avoid giving us certain foods until later in life,

(19:15):
and more than recently we've kind of reversed that and said, okay,
we should give certain food proteins now earlier, during four
to six months, and introduce these proteins early and often.
So for in penuts, if you introduce it during the

(19:38):
ages of four to six months, you will decrease the
chance that this infant will not develop peanut allergies. So yeah,
by eighty percent. So we've had these studies now showcasing

(19:58):
that if you introduce these proteins early and often, you
can prevent these types of allergies. So we sort of,
like you know, told parents not to introduce them kind
of created.

Speaker 9 (20:13):
The problem, and now we're trying to figure out how
to solve it.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
I know.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
Exactly. And of course there's also the germ theory, right.
You know, back when we were growing up, we were
making mud pies. Yeah, we were producing ourselves lots of germs,
and so our immune system, you know, recognized germs and
our immune system was able to fight that.

Speaker 9 (20:39):
I almost feel like that's what this is what happens
when we try to wrap our kids in bubble wrap
to protect them, we create these problems that we don't
necessarily anticipate.

Speaker 8 (20:49):
Absolutely, And so you know, when our immune system doesn't
recognize a food protein as a food protein, instead, it
sees it as a forte invader, and our immune system
just goes haywire and attack it as a foreign invader,

(21:12):
and you have this anaphylactic reaction. And that's what's going
on within our bodies and our immune system.

Speaker 9 (21:19):
Is there a difference between a food allergy and a
food intolerance or just sensitivities for.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
Example, Absolutely, because when you have an intolerance, you're not
you know, developing the worst case scenario, a anaphylaxis, because
anaphylaxis can kill you if you do not intervene with
an epinephrin and epinephrine. Now, thank goodness, doesn't only come

(21:52):
in an injection. There's also a nasal spray. And think
for individuals that are afraid of needles, like myself, I'm
happy to give an injection to anyone except for myself.

Speaker 9 (22:09):
I've known people who have had absolute nightmares and being
diagnosed with food allergies. They've gone to doctor after doctor
after doctor. Is that a big challenge diagnosing specific food allergies?
And why do some people seem to go undiagnosed for years?

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Well, I think that is a great question. There's more
than one hundred and sixty food proteins that can cause
life threatening food allergies. So that's one hundred and sixty
proteins that you have to be tested for. It's top
nine allergiens, and I think that's really easy. But if

(22:48):
it's something very very unique, it could be challenging because
you have to confirm it with an oral food challenge,
meaning you have to test for that exact protein food
protein and you have to test it meaning you have

(23:09):
to have an oral food challenge that leads to anaphylaxis.
The misconception is that food allergy is a diet or
it's a preference or it is a choice. But we
all know that food allergy is a disease. It's a

(23:30):
disease of the immune system.

Speaker 9 (23:32):
We're speaking doctor, some publicly CEO of Food Allergy Research
and Education. You have food allergies.

Speaker 8 (23:39):
I am. I do have food allergies. I develop food
allergy as an adult. But you know I have what
we call the typical atopic march. When I was born,
I was born with eggzema, so that is the you know,
skin gin and then I developed asthma, and I thought, wow,

(24:06):
at least I don't have food allergies. And then as
a young adult, I developed food allergies. And you know,
when you talk about a triple threat like Jennifer Lopez, sure,
you know you think about triple threat, not you know,
a topic mars. So unlucky me. I suffer from this

(24:29):
atopic march of egma, allergies, you know, food allergies and asthma.

Speaker 9 (24:36):
I don't imagine that most people would associate those three
things kind of going hand in hand. Exema a skin condition,
asthma a longer breathing issue, and then food allergies. Are
they connected?

Speaker 8 (24:52):
Yes, they are, They are definitely connected. And uh, you know,
you'll see that in the visuals with egma or asthma
or food allergies, they will have you know, two out
of story.

Speaker 9 (25:08):
Wow, talk to me a little bit about the difficulty,
because obviously, if you're a sufferer, you know about food labeling,
and I'm sure you're probably thinking about what you can
and can eat and whether those foods are even in
your direct vicinity, don't you.

Speaker 8 (25:24):
You know, every single bite that I take, I have
to be very very vigilant about what goes in my
mouth every food, I have to check the label, and
even brands that I'm familiar with, I have to make

(25:46):
certain that they didn't change any of the ingredients. And
I learned that the hard way. I mean, how embarrassing.
I'm the CEO of Food Allergy Research and Education, and recently,
as recent as a week ago, a very very trusted
brand that I've eaten for over ten years, they switched

(26:09):
ingredients and it wasn't really clear. They didn't make any announcements,
and they added trenuts and I am deftly alert trinus
and so all of a sudden, I take a bite
of from one of my favorite favorite cookies, and my
throat is itching, My tongue is flowing up, and I'm like,

(26:32):
oh my god, what is going on. I you know,
give myself a nasal spray, a penephyrine, and then I'm
reading the label quickly and I see there's trinuts now
at it, And you know, it's a rookie mistake, obviously,
but I'm like, oh my god.

Speaker 9 (26:52):
I imagine that's got to be a challenge if you
go out to eat, if you're traveling things like that.

Speaker 8 (26:59):
It's very, very challenging. But you know, there are a
few restaurants that I know are very very safe to eat,
Like a Chipotle is one of the favorite places. A
Burger King is another. And you know, when I go
to restaurants, I call ahead and I make certain that

(27:21):
I give them my list of allergens. And you know,
people are getting to really realize that there are a
lot of us and thinking about the fact that there
are more than thirty three million Americans with food allergies.
They're realizing that we're a huge consumer group group and
it's not just thirty three million, right, Like one person

(27:45):
a food allergy, the entire group of people have a
food allergy at the table. So we're a very powerful
consumer group. I mean, if I have a food allergy,
my entire family has a food allergy. If I can't
go to that restaurant, my friends can't go to the

(28:06):
restaurant with me. My restaurants, So I think restaurants are
kept saying on that we've got a lot of power,
and they're becoming more accommodating.

Speaker 9 (28:19):
We always hear about peanut allergies, and now you see
a lot of gluten free options in restaurants and stuff
like that. There's a whole lot of other allergies though.
I mean people I know, people with adult on send seafood,
you know, seafood allergies and things like that. So it's
much broader than just people think about the peanuts or
the soy or things like that.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
That's correct, That is absolutely correct. I mean, you know,
we talk about top nine allergen, but you know, the
other tense allergen that is really you know, increasing especially
on the East Coast, is AlphaGo, where individuals are becoming

(29:04):
allergic to mammalian meat. And it's a really unusual vector
transmission through a loan or tick bites.

Speaker 9 (29:16):
Well, let me let me ask you that because it
brings me to a conversation about our food here in
the United States, ultra processed foods and things like that.
Do you find in your research that there are people
just as many people rather in other countries Canada, the
European Union, or what have you, that have similar food
allergies than we do here, or is it much more

(29:39):
widespread here than anywhere else?

Speaker 8 (29:44):
You know, food allergies exist in other countries, but for instance,
in Israel, there aren't as many children with peanut allergies,
and it's for one reason. They have these soft wafer

(30:06):
type of I want to say they're like Cheetos, but
they're called Bomba and they are a date of peanuts.
And so when they're infants, when they're like, you know,
three to four months, they are given these bomba treats

(30:26):
to kids, and so kids are eating these often and early,
so there's no peanut allergies. So it's the diet and
the choices of how these kids are introduced to certain foods.
So I think that's the variation of the types of

(30:47):
food allergies that you see across the world.

Speaker 9 (30:52):
And last thing, what are the two or three rules
of thumb you would give people as advice if they
believe they're developing a food allergy or.

Speaker 8 (30:59):
Some Please come to our website for the latest education
and we have all the great clinical network sites on
our website. Please go and see one of our food
allergy specialized doctors. They need to be properly diagnosed and

(31:23):
make certain that you are ready to act with epinephrine
because you want to be prepared. You want to make
certain you have epinephrin at all times because if you
have an anaphylactic reaction, you're going to want to have
the one drug that can save your life.

Speaker 9 (31:45):
