Solutions for Food Allergy Families

---

Hi, I’m Susan Eitel-Stack, the creator of OurWayHealth. I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where my husband and I raised three sons, two of whom have severe food allergies. Much of my parenting life has been dedicated to advocating for food allergy and diabetes awareness and safety.

As my sons began college and moved into their own homes, I realized just how much young adults with food allergies still needed support. They faced new challenges such as co-workers, roommates, college administrators, dating, social events, shared kitchens, and alcohol, and much of the available guidance simply didn’t address these realities. That gap inspired me to write Adulting With Food Allergies: Navigating Independence After Leaving Home, a guide for teens, young adults, and their parents.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois and my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Rochester. I am also a Licensed Psychologist, bringing both personal and professional experience to the resources I create.

My hope is simple: to help allergy families feel safer, more supported, and more confident as they navigate daily life.
