BIO:

Lauren Less' life changed when she was diagnosed with multiple food allergies at the age of 25. She now manages allergies to wheat, dairy, egg, sesame, maple, soy, buckwheat, and peanuts. This diagnosis led her to make significant changes to her diet. Determined not to let her allergies hinder her enjoyment of life or delicious food, Lauren's passion for creating allergy-friendly recipes was ignited, and she's thrilled to share her creations with others!

Lauren's journey to her food allergy diagnosis was quite unique. For years, she had been grappling with chronic symptoms, which were later identified as a connective tissue disorder known as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - often referred to as the trifecta. She is committed to using her platforms to raise awareness about these conditions, as many doctors she has encountered have never heard of them. Lauren also shares her personal strategies for managing these conditions, hoping to provide support and information to others facing similar challenges.
