healthHackers®

To mark the start of Allergy Awareness Week 2019, I’m joined by allergy blogger and journalist Emma Amoscato, who recently published ‘Living with Allergies’ - a book that the charity Allergy UK has endorsed as “the first comprehensive book ever” on allergies. As a mum of two children with multiple allergies, Emma couldn’t find a handy guide to help her navigate the medical information and everyday management of allergies, so decided to write one herself. In it, she brings together straight-to-the-point, useful knowledge from leading experts. Emma is a brave and inspirational mum who blogs at: freefromfarmhouse.co.uk/ FYI: This episode covers issues close to my heart and consequently involves me sharing a few of my own experiences with allergic living.
