In this episode of Serene, The Allergy Podcast, I sit down with Zak Marks, the inspiring co-founder and CEO of Kitt Medical. We dive into his personal journey of living with severe food allergies and the unique challenges he faced, especially during those pivotal university years when he transitioned from family support to self-management.
We talk openly about the psychological impact of allergies, the societal stigma that often comes with them, and why creating a truly supportive environment matters so much. Zak shares the story behind Kitt Medical’s innovative approach—introducing allergy kits in public spaces, much like defibrillators—to make life safer and offer real peace of mind to families and individuals living with allergies.
This conversation is all about understanding the emotional side of allergy management and exploring how we can all contribute to a more inclusive and aware society. Whether you live with allergies or support someone who does, I think you’ll find so much value and inspiration in this episode.
Tune in to hear more about the incredible impact of Zak’s work and how Kitt Medical is transforming allergy care for the better!
