Catherine and her husband JJ founded the company with world-renowned pediatric allergist Dr. Gideon Lack, as well as FARE co-founder, Todd Slotkin. Dr. Lack's groundbreaking randomized controlled trials (LEAP, LEAP-ON and EAT) found that most peanut allergies could be prevented by starting peanut foods in the first year of life - a discovery that changed pediatric feeding guidelines around the globe. The Jaxons tried early introduction with their infant son, in hopes of preventing him from developing a food allergy like his older sister did. However, it was a challenge because nuts and nut butters are a choking hazard for babies and the entire baby food industry is allergen-free. So they partnered with Dr. Lack to develop a line of foods that make early allergen introduction easy and enjoyable, and make children's lives better in the process. Prior to founding MightyMe, Catherine was an award-winning journalist with CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 and CNN Presents Documentaries. \n\nWebsite: http://www.missionmightyme.com\n\nThis podcast is brought to you by Emory Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness.
