MP3•Episode home

Food sensitivities can feel like a confusing and overwhelming topic, especially when your little one is experiencing symptoms, and you’re trying to work out what’s going on. Unlike allergies, sensitivities can present in a wide variety of ways, and figuring out the right next step isn’t always clear-cut.

In this episode, Lukca picks Kate’s brain about food sensitivities - what they are, how they’re different to allergies and intolerances, and how to navigate them with confidence. This conversation is full of practical advice to help you understand, support, and advocate for your child (and yourself!) without the guesswork.

For those who are tuning in for the first time, a little about us…
