In this episode of Whole-Body Health©, I chat with Merrill Debbs of the Red sneakers for Oakley Foundation about using epinephrine first and fast in an allergic reaction. The goal of this episode is for you to walk away with the confidence you need to save your child’s life in a food allergy situation. Merrill shares her heartbreaking story of losing her precious son, Oakley, (trigger warning–it’s at the end of this episode) the importance of advocating for your child with food allergies, and how important it is to practice and establish confidence in emergency situations.
