Healthy Habits: Food Allergies in Schools

I recently had the chance to interview Dr. JJ Levenstein, who gave me some important information on dealing with food allergies in schools.

Dr. JJ Levenstein has spent the last thirty years caring for children. She has served on the Scientific Advisory Council of the National Peanut Board since 2008, where she has brought the voice of the parent to the NBP and serves as a spokesperson for the Board at events and conferences. She is also chair of NPB’s recently formed Food Allergy Education Advisory Council. She is president and co-founder of MD MOMS, and manufactures hypoallergenic skin products for infants and children.  She is active in the media, and writes for several child-oriented websites and sits on the advisory boards of several sites.  She is an on-line instructor for www.momassembly.com, and currently is appearing on Home and Family (on the Hallmark network) contributing medical segments for their audience.
