In this second episode on the topic of allergies, I interview Dr. Manisha Relan who is a board-certified pediatric allergist and immunologist. Dr. Relan eats a plant-based diet and I wanted to know her perspective on food introduction for vegan and plant-based children. We have a very interesting discussion and I learned a lot!
