In this episode of Serene – The Allergy Podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Lydia Collins-Hussey a specialist paediatric dietitian, who you might know as @milkallergydietitian on Instagram.
Lydia shares her journey from working in the NHS to running her own private practice, where she supports families navigating a cow’s milk allergy.
We talk openly about the emotional and practical challenges that often come up, especially around the milk ladder and reintroducing foods and how this can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even isolating at times.
Lydia offers such compassionate insight into what families really need during this process, from simple, clear advice to the emotional reassurance that often gets missed. She also tells us more about the incredible programme she’s created to help families feel empowered and supported every step of the way.
Whether you’re a parent managing milk allergy day-to-day, a professional working with allergic families, or just someone wanting to better understand the psychological side of allergy care, there’s so much comfort and encouragement in this conversation.
Tune in for gentle guidance, real-life stories, and some truly helpful tips you can take away with you.
