EAT THE 8: How to Use Food to Prevent Food Allergy (...and skip the supplement powder stuff!)

#126: When did allergenic food introduction become about feeding babies supplements and powders and stick-packs? What about good old fashioned food? Research demonstrates that early introduction of allergenic foods helps prevent food allergies...but those studies were done with FOOD - not gimmicky subscription model supplement programs! My fellow FOOD FIRST colleague, Dr. Ron Sunog and I have teamed up to bring you a really novel approach to preventing food allergy in your baby...wait for it...feed your baby actual FOOD! And our new program EAT THE 8: Preventing Food Allergy with Food shows you EXACTLY how to do that (safely) and is now open for enrollment. If you’re interested in learning how to safely select, prepare and offer your baby the BIG 8 allergenic foods (plus sesame) - we’ve got a step-by-step road map for you, taught by 2 experts specializing in food and feeding. As long as your baby is 6 months of age + showing the other signs of readiness to eat, we can help your baby eat the allergenic foods in as little as 9 weeks. You DON’T need to buy into expensive supplement powder programs to introduce allergenic foods. Babies can learn to eat allergenic foods & we can show you how.
