Manage episode 330103515 series 3296688
On this episode of Food Allergy Talk, I welcome Kyle Dine, educator, entertainer, advocate and founder of Equal Eats.
I have known Kyle since my son was first diagnosed over 10 years ago. Kyle is a pillar of the food allergy community both as an educator, and an entertainer. He’s also a food allergy innovator and positive role model.
Kyle has turned his diagnosis into something positive by spreading allergy education to children across the world. He’s visited over 1,000 schools and reached millions! He has 2 CD’s and a crowdfunded DVD.
His “pandemic project” was Equal Eats where he aimed to reinvent the dietary card, and mait it more effective and professional than any offered before. The Equal Eats cards are available in 50 languages for 500 allergens.
Allergy educator, founder of Equal Eats and allergic since he was a toddler in the 80’s – there is much we can learn from Kyle! He’s allergic to peanut, tree nut, eggs, seafood and mustard.
Today we will discuss with Kyle his personal story growing up nearly his entire life into adulthood with food allergies, how he got into the education and awareness world of food allergies, what it was like to go to school, date, get married and have a family all while managine life-threatening food allergies, and his latest project and how Equal Eats came to be.
