Hi, I’m Peyton! I am seventeen years old and live near Nashville, Tennessee. I love soccer, snow skiing, playing piano, reading, and my family. I was diagnosed with Alpha-Gal Syndrome in August 2022, and I met Debbie and Candice in early 2024 through the Food Allergy Mentorship program (which I highly recommend!) that I did with my mom, who also has AGS. They were kind enough to let me work with them to share my story, ideas, and tips with you all. I am very aware of the fact that living with a severe allergy as a teen can bring unique challenges and I want to be able to highlight those AND be able to give some guidance and encouragement! This page is a place where I hope that you all can find ideas, inspiration, and solidarity while living with AGS, another allergy, or any life-changing diagnosis!
