I was so privileged to speak with Lisa Graziosi, a mom of 2 food allergy children.

Lisa shares her story and her TIP journey. She also gives great advice & support to other food allergy moms.

Lisa has been a major player in the hair industry for more than 18 years and as successful entrepreneur created Extension Bar, the world’s first specialized hair salon. Along with entrepreneur, Lisa is a philanthropist and a full time allergy mum. Lisa is passionate about giving back to her community working with American Cancer Society and Make A Wish Foundation. Most recently, Lisa was welcomed on the Board of Phoenix Children’s Foundation and her philanthropic work there has raised money for hospital beds for the children.

She found Phoenix Children's while looking for the best doctor to treat children with allergies. Lisa’s son was diagnosed with eczema as an infant and developed anaphylactic food allergies. Two years later, her daughter was also diagnosed with serious food allergies.

Lisa's son is currently at SoCal Food Allergy Institute in their TIP program, Toleration Induction Program, for food freedom. Lisa wants to give back “with full force” to help other families with food allergies.

About the host: Stephanie Hills, food allergy mom, advocate, and coach. My son was born with anaphylactic food allergies and I struggled and overcame so many challenges. He is now a thriving teenage football player mastering his food allergies daily. I want to make it easier for other moms where I am a few steps ahead in the journey. I help moms confidently master their child's food allergies for a safe, healthy, and included life.
