    From Anxiety to Empowerment: Managing Food Allergies with Professor Fox
    Nov 20 2024
    Welcome to the very first episode of "Serene, the Allergy Podcast," hosted by me, Dr. Karen Murphy. In this episode, we're honoured to have Professor Adam Fox, a leading Paediatric Allergist at Guy's and St Thomas' in London, join us. Together, we'll be delving into the complexities of oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergies, especially the psychological hurdles that come with it. Professor Fox brings his expertise to illuminate the critical need for psychological support in allergy treatment—a resource that has been historically underfunded in the UK compared to the US. We'll explore how integrating mental health support can significantly improve treatment outcomes, particularly by addressing anxiety that can impact a young person's journey on the programme. We'll also discuss the advances in allergy treatment, including the innovative Neffy nasal adrenaline device, the role of biologic medicines like Omalizumab, and the importance of accurate diagnostics. Professor Fox will share insights on personalised treatment plans and we discuss effective ways to manage the psychosocial impacts of living with allergies. Tune in as we tackle essential questions about improving the quality of life for those living with allergies and the evolving landscape of allergy management. Stay with us for an enlightening conversation that could transform how you view and handle allergies in your daily life.
