Beyond the Label with Asteryx

Society EN ↓ 3 episodes

We spend so much time talking about what's on the label that we rarely talk about the people behind it. Hosted by Kassidy Allen, founder of Asteryx, Beyond the Label is a podcast about the conversations we should be having but rarely do. Through honest stories, unfiltered perspectives, practical insights, and real-life experiences, we explore what it actually means to live with food allergies, and build a life that feels bigger than them. Because food allergies are part of the story, but they're never the whole story.
