Hi, I’m Dr. Julie—Pediatrician and Food Allergy Mom

When my first child had an allergic reaction to his very first food 15 years ago, I was terrified. Even as a pediatrician, I had so many questions—the same ones you might be asking right now:

How do I keep my child safe?

What do I say to family and friends who don’t understand?

How do I help my child feel included at birthday parties, school, and social events?

Will life ever feel normal again?

So, I searched for safe foods, completed advanced training in pediatric food allergy, and spent years navigating the realities of food allergy parenting—so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I created Allergy Mom MD Academy to help moms like you go from overwhelmed and anxious to confident and prepared, armed with the knowledge, tools, and support you need to navigate food allergies with ease.

You’ve got this, and I’m here to help. 💙
