The TIP Difference

The Tolerance Induction Program™ (TIP) empowers patients to lead non-allergic lives through highly personalized, data-driven treatment plans. Prioritizing safety, TIP starts by building tolerance with similar food proteins to desensitize the immune system before introducing allergens.

Patient Testimonials

Jonah
TIP Graduate

"Graduation day was today!!! Biggest moment of Jonah’s life. Watching him walk through, high fiving the staff while they cheered, and seeing his huge smile holding his food freedom sign. Then this afternoon watching him eat a gigantic chocolate chip cookie dessert with vanilla ice cream, Nutella, and whip cream was the “icing on the cake”! Top all of that with a trip to Universal Studios eating anything and everything he wanted to eat!"

Current TIP Patient

"Our most recent visit to FAI came with the news that Ava has been cleared for cross-contact for all of her allergens. It has opened up so many new foods to try, made daily life and travel a million times easier and dining out/social events finally feel FUN. We've been doing our best to make up for lost time :)"
