Lisa Horne is the mom behind the blog, “Food Allergy P.I.” She also hosts the “Food Allergy Talk” podcast and is the author of The Everything® Nut Allergy Cookbook. She lives in rural southeastern Arizona with her husband and five children, all of whom she homeschools through junior high. Her oldest child is allergic to peanuts and shellfish and has asthma.
Lisa first became involved in the food allergy community in 2009 through the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network’s (FAAN) Walk for Food Allergy as their Phoenix Walk Chair. She later founded and directed the Arizona Food Allergy Alliance (AFAA), which hosted Zoo Walks for Food Allergy in Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Tucson as well as several conferences, park days, holiday parties, and an annual summer camp called Camp Ye bik’ehgo (Ye bik’ehgo means “responsible” in Apache). In 2012, Lisa pushed for legislation to allow stock epinephrine to be available for all students in Arizona schools. It was passed into law in 2013.
Lisa was featured in Allergic Living magazine as “The Ultimate Food Allergy Connector.” In 2018, she began focusing her energy on reaching out to the food allergy community through her blog, “Food Allergy P.I.,” where she takes on the role of detective in all things food allergy related as she shares her own experiences with travel, dining out, product finds, and recipe creation. In 2021, Lisa published The Everything Nut Allergy Cookbook and launched her podcast, “Food Allergy Talk.”
Lisa has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Marketing. She is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and working on a certification with an emphasis on autoimmunity. Prior to working in the food allergy world, Lisa worked in radio broadcasting for 10 years as a traffic reporter, news anchor, and DJ. She has also worked as a freelance writer for several local publications, including The Arizona Republic, Raising Arizona Kids magazine, and the 202 Magazine.
As FAACT’s Director of Marketing, Lisa manages the organization’s marketing and outreach. Look to connect with FAACT on Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
