Video review of The Reluctant Allergy Expert!

16/11/2020 by Ruth Holroyd 2 Comments

I would like to thank Lindiwe Lewis, or Lindi for short. I am so blown away by this amazing video review of my new book, The Reluctant Allergy Expert: How to kill the fear that anaphylaxis could kill you..

WOW!

, The Reluctant Allergy Expert: How to kill the fear that anaphylaxis could kill you..

If you’ve been thinking about whether you need my book, Lindi has not only reviewed the book, she’s vloggged about why she loved it so much.

She has shared point by point why she loves it, from the personal stories I’ve included, the laws that govern allergies, where to find help, the psychological impact and more…

Thank you Lindi!

Now I would like to shout out for Lindi.

We met last year while recording an episode of The Allergy Today podcast, which I hope will return soon… watch this space!

Lindi (next to me) on the Allergy Today Podcast at The Allergy Show

Lindi came on the panel for us and spoke up bravely and eloquently about her experiences with allergies. I was impressed with her professional attitude and not least because she’s so young! This girl will go far! Keep an eye on Lindi.

If you’re not already following her: I urge you to do so. I love what she does.

Visit her website – The Allergy Table Blog
And follow her on Instagram at the.allergytable

She blogs recipes, thought pieces and her campaign, The person behind the allergy has been amazing. She also shares other allergy advocates stories which are really useful, heart-warming and inspirational to read.

So I want to thank Lindi for everything she does for the allergy community. Together we can make a difference, raise awareness about allergies and educate others about what living with allergies is really like. And remember, there is a person behind the allergy!

And of course, buy my book!

It’s brilliant! Lindi said so!

    This is so lovely Ruth! It was an honour- I was so taken when I was reading this, I didn’t want to put it down ( but I don’t want to give much away from the video :))

    I really appreciate you and your work! Thank you so much for this blog post I can’t believe it’s been a year since the podcast recording!

      Thank you, thank you, thank you! So so so much. It’s hard to know how a book will be received when you write one and review it like a million times. it all begins to blur into one big blob and you begin to doubt it’s hitting the mark. My editor was truly amazing so I must thank Sally Beck for all her help too. Without her it would not been half as good. Thank you, I absolutely LOVE the video. You are such a good speaker. Look how far you’ve come from the shy girl I met at the Allergy Show!

Hello, I’m Ruth, author and blogger

Ruth

 

Hi I'm Ruth. I've grown up with eczema and multiple life-threatening allergies and collected more as I've got older.  It started with a peanut allergy and now I'm allergic to milk, wheat, soya and many more. In this blog I share tips, advice and things I've learnt living with allergies, asthma and eczema with a focus on topical steroid withdrawal. You can buy my books, which are brilliant by the way! The first is Anaphylaxis: The essential guide and the second, The Shape of Skin, healing poems for eczema and sensitive skin. The reviews speak for themselves. If you want to chat you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (links below). Do get in touch. And please comment on blogs, it makes a humble blogger do a little happy dance!
